Cellular trail Cameras

[grundy53]

I have been thinking about a couple of these for security cameras at a cabin... We have verizon and get 1-2 bars of service, do you guys think that would be enough? When we were there last week you couldn't make a call, but a text would go through.

Yeah, should be enough. The antennas on the cameras are stronger than the ones on cell phones.

I'm running the Bushnell with Verizon.  I have 3 bars where the cameras sit.  Been up for 6 weeks with 2500 pictures and still have 100% battery life.  This was just a test to see how long the batteries will last.  My hunting grounds where I'll put them has 4 and even 5 bars. So super impressed with these

3 bars .... on your phone? 
What does the camera say for cell reception, great-or moderate?

I just tried to set up mine, in mountains my cell was receiving video notifications from our home security cameras and i could watch them. The camera had a yellow light which means moderate signal. Was not able to get them to link together and work.

One thing you will find with bushnell models and their battery life indicator is it will go from 100% to 0% really fast so don't bank on it.

^^^ I've had that happen to me, too!

I'm loving my Tactacams. Turn the sensitivity down, have the pictures send twice a day. $5/month/cam for 500 pics. Batteries last a real long time, and I've been in areas where my cell phone says "No Service" but the cam will have one or two bars.... and it sends me pictures

Quote myself   lololol

Did not take pics when i set it up or during the entire week it was there, then..........When I went back to switch cam out to a regular one, it took 3 pics and sent them to me while i was there. WEIRD

Setting 2 of my 4 Tactacams this weekend. Got them on sale at Cabelas plus the ActiveJunky cash back, but plus tax and shipping I think they came out to about $100 each.

Wanted to set two last weekend but there was zero service in my new elk spots...I've been impressed with how easy they are to set up and I like the app. Pretty confident that they'll work great.
