Need New Trail Cam

[BowhunterNJ]

robnj, which of the cell plan based cams do you like the most?

[robnj]

Covert code black um565 is my favorite. Hco um562 would be my second choice . Ltl acorn 5210mm and hco panda would be my third choice. Your at the mercy of the the cell tower signal quality . At its best performance your looking at a pic every 90 seconds with 90 percent pics sent if you run a 1 minute delay between pics. If you want to run it on 0 second delay three shot burst you can and it will save all pics to the card but the mms performance plummets. 1000-1500 sent pics per 12 alkaline batteries. The new cams have SMS commands that are very unreliable from what i have read. 2014 cams are claiming 3G not sure if it will really do anything. Will have to wait and see.

Have you tried running a solar panel to your cams at all to eliminate the need to even go in and change batteries?

Thanks Robnj for your input...

Season coming to a end, willing to wait for the right deal, maybe double deal.

Looking to hear and see more info down the road, thanks again.

I use these to extend the life

Usually I move my cams way before they go dead. My text cams are the cam I use first when scouting new areas . Let's me get in there and hunt right away if I find a big one.
