Most Reliable Cell Cam?

[trippcave]

My experimentation over the years has shown Spartan to be far and away the most consistent and reliable. Not that others aren't good, or perfectly serviceable, but the Spartans just work, every single time.

Great to hear as I just ordered 4 of Spartans repackaged GoCams. Do you happen to have any recommendations on best AA batteries to use (lithium, rechargable, etc.) and how long of a battery life you usually get?

Out of all the cameras I have...the Camojojo Trace is the best. However, recently got a Yellowstone camera and I think it will be as good or better than any on the market.

Camojo fine until you have a issue. Support is located in China and the language barrier is a issue. I have had 2 die in the last 3 months from water damage (all my cameras are on the Olympic Peninsula and live in a area that gets over 100 inches of rain annually) they replaced 1 but we are currently arguing about the second because this person says the cameras are not water proof. Last support person was no problem.

Interesting. Are you communicating with Bella? She is the only support person that I've dealt with via email

Yes Bella is the suppot person.
In the last month all of the camera's have been thru a major deluge 3-5 and as high as 9 inches of rain almost daily. 3 camera's faild and literally filled the camera bodies with water. 2 spypoint's that have been in the field for over 3 years so no longer have a warranty and a 6 month old Camojo. Pretty decent results 3 out of 24 deployed in that area failed. The 5 Spartan and 4 Moultrie units are 5 years old with no issues. Another 6 of different types further away with half as much rain had no issues. All the camera's have SLA battery's in plastic ammo boxes so I never visit them until they have issues.

I've been happy with Wise Eye+solar panel.
One camera has a Wise Eye solar panel. Another has a Herd 360 panel.

Hello all. New member here. Curious to hear what people think are the most reliable cell trail cameras currently out there on the market.

I’ve run plenty of Bushnell and started to use a couple Browning Cams as well and seem to find the Browning much more reliable.

Appreciate any feedback!

Anybody run moultrie cams?

Im generally satisfied with these. Have four of them. Run well. Runs on the UCON/UBOX app.

However you can only view the gallery of one camera at a time and night time visibility is around 25-30 meters.

I have a few of the Edge 1’s that have lasted a few seasons. The picture quality is ok, but I like the video mode the best. I haven’t tried the rechargeable battery packs yet; the 16 AA’s last a few months in mild weather.

I received a Moultrie Edge 3 Pro this week from Amazon.
I'll be setting it up tomorrow just to run for a few weeks before I activate the subscription plan for the cellular part.

By spring I'm planning to buy at least 1 Yellowstone camera for testing. I've found a few reviews on these cams and thinking if they are what they are said to be I'll be buying several more.

I'm currently running 6 of the Wifi Garden Pro non cell cams around the neighborhood.
