Trail cams

[ihhawk]

I’m wanting to get a trail cam for the Iowa property. What do you recommend?

I want the option to have the cell signal on it so I can get the videos and pictures on my phone.

In.


I've always used SD cards but will be looking to upgrade. Will likely want a system of 4-6.

Tactacam Reveal series is the way to go from my experience. They are durable, have affordable plans, and offer different provider options to align with your cell plan. Their customer service is really good as well just in case you experience any issues. We run 3 of them and we've only had one small connectivity issue with one of them, and Tactacam replaced the camera immediately.

I was going to say Tactacam too. We have one that we use as a security device and has a cell plan on it. The others we choose not to use the cell cam option...I feel like that this provides too much advantage to the hunter. But the cams work very well and last multiple years...unlike other brands in our experience.

Checked with our youngest Son as he probably has at least a dozen around his place, and he has Tactacam Reveals. They've worked extremely well for him, although he did say he plans to sell those and get Spartans simply for better image quality. Depends on what you want, the Tactacam is at a much lower price point than the Spartans as well.

What does he pay for the cell service each month?

Not 100% sure, I'd have to ask but as I mentioned he has a plan (I think with AT&T) that covers a bunch of cameras. A dozen might be underestimating it.

I don't know how accurate it is, but trailcampro.com lists costs for plans for a variety of camera manufacturers.

People seem to have “found” lots of these and sell them on eBay. Oddly, never with the box they came in.
