Some creek draws I trap for cats have high walls some over 100 feet high no roads it’s all on foot it’s so rough. I’m not expecting much from the cell cams just have a couple places I’ll try them in where they might work at. Cat county is not really cell signal friendly here I’m just seeing what they will do, the places they might work the best cell cam locations probably doesn’t hold many cats.

I’m running 5 chip cams and 2 cell cams I’m trying this year it’s not a huge line but it’s good cat country I always pick up a few cats where theres not a lot of cats but enough.

I have been using Spypionts for 5 years now. Always the free plan. Some cameras go over each month, Ill just wait for the next month or go out and pull card and replace with another, I have 10 and usually have one or two in hand. I hang mine high(8'-10') so there is less chance of people seeing them and taking them. I use climbing sticks to deploy and retrieve, along with a 1/4" screw eye and a 1/4" 20 eye bolt for precise aiming, both are 3' long to get away from tree. Straps are not good enough for aiming. Rechargeable Lithium batteries are what I have been using, If you have a camera that you want to be trouble free for an extended period of time the solar panels work great for that. The frensel lens looks for movement and heat signature, which will cause some heat pictures. Heat pictures are a PITA, not much you can do about it other than increase the time between pictures in the app when you get them. I always try to aim to the North to reduce the sun from washing out some pics. I have also tried the Moultree cameras and I will stick with Spypoint, Moultree has gone to no sd card so you cannot save the pictures to your computer, I realize you can by downloading to your phone then emailing them to yourself. Like I want to do that for a couple hundred pictures. Spypoint is free and that is what I like the most about them, picture quality is ok with the app, when you retrieve your card you get the HD versions.

The texting photos to your email is a thing of the past now the major carriers dropped that feature it was probably the main thing I used my phone for in the past. Features gone but the bill didn’t get any cheaper.

Pics look fine to me. Thanks

Does spypoint have a cell camera that offers live view?

Test photos? New to this myself I see it has a chip so I’m guessing you get the photos no matter what but I’m not 100% on that.

You can have it take a picture when it syncs. A daily time that you pick.

Pictures can be sent and synced every 2, 4, 12, and 24 hours.
