« on: October 09, 2020, 06:16:31 AM »
On the trail cams that send pics to your phone  what is the time delay between pics taken and recieved to your phone?

Also what cel trail cams are the better of the bunch?

Who do you get to transfer the pictures to your phone?

I use Spartan and Spypoint cameras.  My spartan is a couple of seconds from photo to notification.  My Spypoint send photos 12 times a day, every 2 hours.  Mine are through Verizon, $5 a month.  Sends me a text message and an e-mail to up to 10 e-mail addresses and phone numbers.

Spypoint makes what they call Cell-Link. It turns any normal trail camera into a cellular one. It has a full size SD card wired. You plug it into your camera and then it recieves the pics from it and then sends to you phone. I have one on an old camera an works fine. Also, IF you don't go over 100 pics a month, the service is free.

Before you buy the camera you need to think what cell service has the best coverage for where you will be putting it.  We have one in Oregon where Verizon was by far the best coverage, so that is what we use.  We get pictures sent within minutes, but that depends on how you have it set up.  You can set it up to send once a day twice etc..

I have a few of the Spypoint Link-Micro-LTE and I'm pretty happy with them.  Pictures are good, and they work in some spots I wouldn't have guessed that they would, I get pics in about 2 minutes even with only 25% signal strength.

I just found out about these from reading this thread, guess I know what to ask for from the wife for Christmas!
