Testing Out a New 3G Cell Cam

[phade]

I have a new 3G model coming my way to test out - it's not a US-based brand reseller, but I believe it'll fill the niche of the "cheap cell" cam that people here want if they can't step up to the Spartan Gocam. I believe I'll be able to program this to work off of AT&T data or MMS packages from my discussions. Blackflash, too.

Price probably in the $190-199 range.

I'll update when it comes in and how the testing pans out.

Being on a tight budget, this sounds awesome! I'll be following this, for your no bs, review. You are the absolute go to guy for cams and advice!

[Adkhunter1590]

Following this as well!

[GreeneHunter]

Interested to how this turns out !

[Jeremy K]

Looking forward to the results .

Phade, sounds good.I forgot if I asked, but how does 3g or 4g work on a cell cam. I understand with phones it's faster for cruising the web, but does it matter for text messages.

Thanks

How long is the delay between picture being taken and arriving on your phone

I remember the first generation cell camera i bought from Phade was around 3-5 minutes ,sometimes it was quicker.

[phade]

This around 30 seconds.

My thought behind asking it is to have it setup along trails 80-100 yards from my stand, gives me a few seconds heads up before the deer appears in front of me to get my cameras rolling

I've also had the idea of using one of those driveway alert chimes and disabling the chime so just a LED light flashes when it senses movement along the trail

I had the same thought when i first got mine ,then the deer stopped using that trail for the rest of the season.

It was the group of big ol bucks that disappear ever year , I had no clue where to move it to , i just moved it around the property a few times ,we never see them again all season once they bounce for the year.

Exact same thing happens on my parents farm every year

I have done that with a "Driveway Patrol" alert . It can be purchased for about $10 with coupon at Harbor Freight . The sensor takes a 9 volt battery and the receiving unit takes 3 "D" cells . I covered the sending unit with camo tape and spray it with scent blocker . So far , it hasn't given me any advantage except for spotting a trespasser . Take 3 screws out of the receiver , cut wires to speaker , tape ends and re-assemble .

Back to the topic... Will that cam work on any cell plan, or does it need to be a specific one ..

[phade]

This one is att/T-Mobile.

Pics look really good compared to the first generation camera.  

[Adkhunter1590]

So what's the name of this cell cam?

[phade]

There isn't one really.
