Buying the property and would like a couple cell cams to watch both entrances and the deer. So figure 3 minimum.
Do i go w 3 separate cams or do i get 3 that talk to eachother and send pics to the mother camera for sending to me?
If i go the mothership route, would that send pics as something is happening or at select intervals?
Also what is more reliable? Reliability is probably more important.
I get 1 to 2 bars on property w verizon.

I would get a handful of Tactacam reveals. Super simple, super reliable, not too expensive. Data plan costs can add up, the cheapest being $5 a month for 250 pics per camera. The unlimited is $13 a month per cam.

I have three Tastacams. Love them. They take over 200 pics night. Very reliable. Get the solar charger. Have not changed a battery in over a year.

I don't know much about cameras but I would shy away from the mother camera system, the mother goes down and you have nothing. With individual cameras, you lose one and you still have the rest of them working for you.

Another vote for Tactacams. I have 4 spread across my property. Also, if you draw a good quota, it's easy to relocate one for a few weeks.

The solar chargers are priceless in my opinion. I have a new piece of property that is 5hrs from my house so it makes a lot of sense to make what I can as "maintenance free" as possible. I haven't had to fool with cameras (other than relocating 1) at all in 8 months... and as also was mentioned, I would shy away from the "mother" cam type system for those obvious reasons stated.

I’m currently running Bushnell and Tactacams. But am getting rid of the Bushnells as they croak. I have 6 Tactacams running now. the pictures are superior to the Bushnells
I get about 5 months out of the batteries.
Set up is super easy.

Frustratingly, I’ve got a camera out right now that worked fine during set-up, transmitted photos, had a signal, etc., then I get home and checked it… of course, no signal and no photos since installation. Anyone have luck using a signal boosting antenna?

If you can't get the app to work on your phone, try logging into the web page directly either from your phone or your computer. account.revealcellcam.com |
