Looking Cell cam feedback
« on: December 19, 2023, 05:25:23 PM »
Well for the first time ever I took down all my cameras  , a lot of them have been out  for years , and have been well used . Anyway I’m looking  at buying 6 to 10 cell cams  for a few areas  looking at the spypoints as there plan looks great but want to hear what other have had to deal with I have heard some horror stories on most brands but let me know . I’ll still be running all my other cams after some are repaired, cleaned and re camo.


Thank you for feedback

I have SPYPOINT Flex and Tactacam reveal X and I like the pic and video quality better on the Tactacam. Both have similar plans. The SPYPOINT has a free plan though. The Tactacam is a bit more adjustable in the settings.

Had any issues with either ? Cams would be up 6 months or so if they came down at all

I have two Tactacams and both are great, you can choose either Verizon or att whichever gives your spot the best coverage. I had a spypoint and it flat out sucked for me.

Same boat here.. Got a couple buddies with the tacticam and they don’t have any bad things to say about them, curious about the multiple cam/plan prices tho.

Think I’m at $23 a month with 2 cams unlimited plus on demand picture. Don’t get a coffee couple times a month and call it a day.

I’ve had 3 tacticam reveals. They’ve been great, haven’t had an issue with them which can’t be said for my buddy’s Stealth Cam cellulars.

I only say “had” because they’re still out there and dead waiting for retrieval. One lasted July 4th to December 3rd, but didn’t get much action. The other two lasted mid-July to early October but got hammered. Had to set them to 5 minute delay after the first few days and still got 50+ photos some days. the overage protection with the Tacticam plan is nice. Would buy again.

I’ve been quite pleased as well. The pro model is perfect I think

I’m two months into two tacticam pros, both with unlimited plans.  Running lithium batteries and am currently at 60 and 70 percent life left.   Cams are averaging 125 photos a day.    At 9:30am and 7:30pm, it’s like Christmas morning for me.  That’s when I have the cams set to send photos.   Zero complaints.

I’ll probably go with the tacticams, 1 for now and probably add some more at some point. I haven’t researched it enough but I was curious if there was other brands that had a better plan/price for multiple cams on the same account.

I’m running six spypoints. I really like the flex with solar panel.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

What’s the cost for running 6?

Don't get spy points they are garbage in my opinion.  Have had nothing but problems with mine.  Started with 4 and only 2 are still working.  I since bought 5 stealthcams cells to try out since all my non cell cams are stealths.  So far I have been satisfied with them.

$10 a months per cam and unlimited photos.

I may switch plans based on the number of photos I’m getting each month on them.

$7 for 1,000 photos a month
$4 for 250 photos a month
$0 for 100 photos a month



I have had one go bad but they replaced it for free.
