I have used both of those cell cameras. Both work very good and take very nice pictures. My cameras are in an area with limited cell service and both sent pics fine. I am currently running Cuddeback cameras with cuddelink. The reason I switched is the number of cameras I run. The Cuddeback system lets you pay for one cell plan for up to 20 plus cameras. If you’re only planning on running a couple cameras either Browning or Reveal would be very good cameras. I really liked my reveal cameras. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I’m using SPYPOINT right now, but I’m thinking I’m going to switch to the reveal stealth cams.

What I have probably isn't what you're considering, but on my hunting land I have a cell phone providing internet access to a wifi network. I'm using Reolink security cameras with AI to identify "pets". Most of the cameras are connected to NVRs (network video recorder) that record 24/7 and keep a few weeks of constant recording. The AI flags when animals appear so its easy to find them. 24/7 recording is very nice for going back and seeing when animals entered or left the view of camera. I can watch them from when they're a tiny dot in the distance.

A few weeks ago I cut 600' of trench (in a star pattern - not a single line) from my deer blind to bury network cable.

I currently have 15 cameras (13 to NVRs, 2 are battery/solar wifi connected) sharing a single cell phone. My current favorite is this one

I noticed that we missed a lot of photos last elk season because of poor service in some areas. I’d look into a cam that stores photos until they can be downloaded or do some have a back up chip to cover those times. This is no big deal in flat county probably but in the mountains service is sketchy at best.

I shot my elk on a wallow right in front of a cell cam 3 elk passed in front of the cam but not one pic was taken during the whole time, the same cam had produced random pics in the weeks before no clue how many shots were missed. Those were my friends cams I use chip cams myself but running both at the same spot would be expensive.

Reveal's all i'll use. Spy point i have no idea how they stay in business. Cuddyback crap never worked to begin with.

Muddy has some now but never used their's, do love their trail camera's and they are easy on the pocket book.

I use a couple Reveal 2.0 for nuisance work and they have been great. I really like being able to take photos on demand. From what I know the 3.0 is an improved 2.0. I will be adding a few 3.0 this year as well

I uses tactacam reveal for a straight up texting cam - especially for surveillance, hog and coon hunting, etc. i typically get about four years out of them. Out 24/7/365. I use cuddelink system for my deer cams. Some out all year long. I dont know how long they last - had them almost five years and never had one quit.


If US and China dont get together soon - gonna be paying $200 for a $100 cam

What are you using them for?
We’ve tried Tactacam and they were good cameras, but the deer noticed that IR flash. Using them for security and they have a red glow so you can easily pick out the camera.

Haven’t tried Brownings, but heard they had some issues with their sending pics at times.

I run Spartans. Expensive but worth it. Even have one that survived a fire and got up to 139 degrees and still working. Even melted the antenna, lol. Guess if I hadn’t went with these first I might find something else I like, but I didn’t and these have functioned flawlessly.

IF you have the money Spartan's are the way to go!

Using them for hog trapping, haven't noticed deer or anything else paying attention to the reveals.

I was going to switch over to tacticam but it’s harder when you a a few cams. Spypoint gave me a Smokin deal on a new Flex-S 64 and premium plan so I’m sticking with them for now.

The newer versions of Tactacams do not have a visible red glow.

Would have to read up on which ones have invisible IR.

I have a Tactacam Reveal X...it has the red glow....very noticeable too....even though it lasts only about a second.

I'm in the market for remote camera that I can set to take and send a picture a couple of times a day to monitor a water tank level so I don't have to check It so often and make sure my timer is running enough water. Does any one have suggestions for one to use in this situation?

I started using the Moultrie Edge 2 Pros this past fall and won't settle for anything less going forward. Far superior to anything I've used over the past 10 years. No SD cards which accounted for approximately 90% of the customer service calls due to card failures. The on-demand feature is great for a taking a picture when you want it. The sensitivity is adjustable so you can discriminate between deer, people, mature bucks, young bucks, does, turkeys, etc. You can also change the sensitivity by zone of the sensor as well so if you have a weed or branch blowing and it sets the camera off, you can disable it so it will not be triggered by that movement. All can be set up and checked on your phone using their app.

Moultrie also has some new features with AI that are being tested right now that will be very useful for managing deer. I had a chance to take a few of their software engineers hunting on our farm and they are always working to improve their devices and software.

I also use one for monitoring water levels in our tanks with the on-demand feature.

I still have 3 Brownings out right now but they will eventually be replaced with Moultries as they work fine for what I need them for right now.

I highly recommend y'all give them a try as you won't be disappointed.

You have muddy cell cams or trail cams? We had 100's of moultries, was all we bought then they turned into junk and we went searching for other camera's and muddy trail cam's won the race so wondered how their cell cam's do.
