I came into a couple of these cameras and am wondering if I need the app and whatnot to get them going?
Hoping I can just put a SD card in, turn it on and good to go?

My guess is you need the app, setup an account, and a payment method for the monthly bill. Almost all cell cams CANNOT be used as a “regular” trail camera that you simply put a memory card into and turn on. Best look on YouTube for your model and how to set it up.

You will need the app and pay for monthly service for the camera to work.

Im not aware of any cell camera that you can just put an SD in and turn it on to take pics like a non-cell camera.

You should just buy a non-cell camera.

Thanks,
Sounds like of no use to me, no way I'm going to pay for an app. when I'll probably use at most a week or so a year.

The app is free.

The monthly cell service is $5 to $20.

You can cancel/pause cell service when you want.

Spypoint will do regular pics you can turn it off with the app on your phone plus you get 100 free cell photos a month if you go over it just stops sending you pics but it keep taking pics and storing them on the chip no extra charge after you hit the 100 free photos. If you need more cell photos you can buy by the month or yearly nothing crazy for pricing. Lots of different plans available, I pay $99 for 250 photos a month for all 4 of my cameras it covers all the cams you have listed with them be it 1 or 12 they all get the 250 pics a month. Don’t pay a dime extra you still get 100 free photos.

With this thing, the app.......

I can turn the cam on and set the settings with just the app and then take the card out to get the pics instead of buying a plan and having them sent to a phone?

No....got to purchase a plan to activate camera. It's a cell camera...that's how they work.

Sounds like you need a non-cell camera. Academy Sports has the non-cell Muddy cameras for $29.
