Do any of these cameras have AT&T as a carrier? There's zero coverage for Verizon at our place in Curlew  :(
$5 is a lot of money if you ain't got it

Spypoint has AT&T cams.  It's not what your phone carrier is, but rather the carrier reception where your cam is located.  As an example, I have Spypoint Verizon cams as there are several large Verizon towers within a couple of miles of me.  I also have Verizon as my phone carrier because of those towers and the ease of phone reception, facetime etc.


I could however have AT&T as my cell phone provider if I didn't want the phone reception or facetime, and the Verizon Spypoint for that area would send pictures to my AT&T phone.

Check out the Spypoint site.  The Dark and Link-s cams have excellent reviews.  Probably would avoid the earlier Evo's.

I'm waiting for Trail Camera Pro to finish their assessment.  Those guys do a thorough review.

I found the pictures I received gave me an idea of what was going on and when.
I think the image depends on the signal strength. Also, if you elect to have the image transmitted immediately or batch during the night.
Besides, in my opinion, the purpose of having a cellular  camera is to see what is going on. When I retrieve the camera, I will have the same pictures, but at a high resolution.

And if you plan on never retrieving the camera, high resolutions make sense.

They have already reviewed the battery life as terrible.  Like a month and a half.  Makes it useless to me.  I leave my cams to soak way longer than that.  The only one with good battery life is the link s, the $500 camera.  My luck a bear would destroy it in a week.

What do you mean your modems have lasted? Are you calling batteries modems? And are you running the new link micro? Thats the camera being talked about here.
