I've been running a couple of Browning Defender Pro Scouts for 2 1/2 years, pleased so far.
Had one leak water and fog up, I believe it was at the antenna and was replaced under warranty by the TrailcamPro guys.
Sent it in and they sent me a new one, it was quick in my case they had it in stock at the time, that's not always the case.
Battery life has been terrific I believe for a cellular camera and my plan from Browning costs $17 a month for two cams which I think is reasonable.
My 2 cents.
How much data do you get for that price, or how many pics? And are they “like real time” or do you have to set up a time to look at them?
The only reason for the last question is I was reading about one trail cam that you had to pay premium for to look at “real time” pics. They were set up to take pics, but could only look at them at a certain times. That was some time back and may have been Spypoint when they came out, just can’t remember.
I am on the Scout Plus plan, 2400 pictures a month. They have discontinued that plan though, as long as I don't switch plans I guess they will honor it. I never use 2400 pics a month as I just have the cameras on a logging road where that I monitor for coyote activity, little over 200 pics this month with 3 days to go. I get a few HD uploads ever month with the plus plan but the HD pics are not much better than the regular thumbnail you get.
If you can get by with the Scout plan (1200 pics a month with no HD pics) $9 bucks a month plus 5 bucks for an additional camera, it should be about $15 a month for 2 cameras.
The camera will send at designated times or send immediately, I have mine set to immediately. There is no real time view on the Browning's that I'm aware of but most of the time I'm looking a the pic within a minute or two after the pic is taken.
