GPRS is " always on" ? might be where the battery life is going?

So what Plan and cost is it for you
Using GPRS to email account (which is also to phone) I get charged .20c per Megabyte
So approx 1c per pic - arrives in 40 - 90 seconds - using Vodafone

I thought pxting cost min of 50c per pxt ??

Yes pxt is 50c. smtp is email. I dont use phone for email so dont mint pxt to phone. A little care setting up the camera to keep false triggers to a min is a good idea though. GPRS wasnt an option when I got started, might look at it for the next camera.

That would bankrupt me - wind got up other night and I had 50+ photos.
Very difficult to find places that wont trigger with even slight wind/breeze.
I am bringing in those 2 Bodymedia/Scoutguard cams above - from my European Optic Supplier. (they still from China)
Not keen to promote and sell - because I would get annoyed with after sales enquiry - BUT - if someone thats already in the know and will do byself all the setup and carry on that goes with them - I might consider selling to them.
Be very careful if buying-there is a lot of real crap out there - looks good - but trigger timeframe for example can be so bad you never see anything in pic :-)
Sim card slot sloppy and you loose the card inside etc etc
I bought a couple of cheapies last year (about 79US$ each) got full refund and still got cams - but they are sitting in cupboard - only good if you put on your home where someone will lurk longer enough to get snapped. Surprisingly they have great battery usage and very easy setup mode/instruct - but aprt from that they are rubbish really.

Really enjoying this thread. Am just getting in to trail cams and finding it's a whole new hobby in itself. Here's a few from me. Nothing special in the timber department but loving watching their movements. May be in a few more years they'll be worth shooting...

Excellent
You must be still agile enough to climb trees :-)
Looks very much like Central North Island bush to me
