A question to you more knowledgeable fellas
I have a possie that holds some good stags I use a normal game cameras to see movement.
But looking at game cameras that take a SIM
And send photos to cloud or your phone.
Are they a gimmick?
Do you need heaps of battery power and need 4G minimum??
Don't want to spend $600 +
The big issue I found with trail cameras sending pxt to your phone or the cloud is the sheer number of false hits that will be transmitted. If you get moving leaves/twigs/vegetation it will chew through your sim cards $$$$ quicker than you can say "where did my $60 sim card go? 48 hours later.:o:o:o Don't ask me how I know...Quote:

I use one quite regularly, I can get up in the morning and check my phone to see if deer have been coming out at the camera location and what times they come and go without having to actually go to the camera to download images and leave my scent in the hunting area.
