Trail Cam recommendations

[Northcountryman]

So, I havent used trail cams in about 4 years now cuz I got sick of having to go in all the time to replace the sim cards,batteries,etc.  What I want is something that is sim card free and with batteries that last longer than a couple months!! Any recommendations ??

Myself I have like 16 Spypoint’s and have had great luck with them. I did have one that would leak in heavy rain. Would dry out and work fine again but was a pain. I also have 12 of the Walmart special Tasco cams with the cards for most of the public land spots. $28 is not much of a hit when the walk off the tree.

I have a bunch of Spypoints , for the price they work great

im on the insiders club so I pay like 100.00 a yr I think and get 250 pics a month no matter how many cams I have

We have 3 Reveal cameras. I maintain them. Each one has solar set up and rechargeable batteries. They last a long time out in the field. I think I recharge them 3 times a year.

I also have a reveal and I've had good luck with it.

Those Tasco Cameras are the only ones I use , I have five(5) in my woods and three(3) around my house - Cheap Security !  I also have a couple " Bait Cam's - Broken " in my woods at Eye Level for the inquiring mind - Trespassers !

They use the little tiny ones. The pic’s are sent directly to your cell phone. There are Trail Cam’s and they use the SD cards you have to check of course and then the cell’s that you never have to be around them except for battery replacement.

My buddy has a cellular plan. 3 cameras all year long. Not sure what he pays. I have never been asked to take out a SD card. Only thing I have to do every 3-4 months is charge battery when the solar panel doesn't get enough light.

What is cool is that he has it set up for video also. The videos come in a little later then the pictures. My brother shot a doe in a food plot with the camera on it. We got two pictures of when he shot then my buddy sends the video with sound of the deer being shot. too cool.

It does have a SD card if you want to use the camera without a cellular plan.

Oh, so the card doesnt get full then where you gotta truck in and replace?

Check out Garde Pro. You can't beat the price, and you can save more by buying in Quantity and adding Solar.

I got 4 of the A60 and they sent me a Solar for free.

They work great and have awesome pics and videos.
