I plan to purchase a couple for my further sets. What do yall recommend? Thank you

I started using wyze cam v4. Wired cameras, not too expensive ~$30+/-. They do a good job, just need wifi to enable to your phone. No subscription or cloud needed.
That's for residential work obviously. If you're out in the field for k9's or beaver, you'll need a cell cam.

I should have qualified - cell cameras for the field. Thanks

You can put a card in the bink cameras for monitoring purposes.
Bink systems are cheap.
If you need wifi for reporting, ask the homeowner to set up a guest password on their network.
I have phones though my business account that are used as hotspots when wifi is not available.
Comcast/ others have pubic wifi available in many areas for a price.

I have a couple Reveal X 2.0 for a couple years now and have been very pleased with them. They are cellular and cost $5 per camera a month. You can take on demand pictures or motion activated. You can turn pictures into videos clips too. You control them from an app on your phone.

Good info guys thanks.... from a technology challenged trapper.

This could really help with miles and gas expense. Thanks.

I’m planning on upgrading to cellular cameras soon. Trap Ohio, how long is battery life? Looks like good quality pictures.

I purchased some external battery box set ups from herd 360 for my reveals, that run off a 12v and tried them out the past year. I had some of herd 360 10 ah battery’s and cheaper decent equivalent ones from Amazon. All lithium. One of my cameras would take a few hundred pics a night with video if I wanted and I think I only had to change the battery no more than 2x the whole fall and winter. Highly reccomend.

Tactacam

The picture quality is good, videos are very good and helpful to see how the animals work a cage. If I'm checking multiple traps with one camera I often will wire a utility flag to the set door of a cage to be able to see if the door is open or closed, the plastic flags show up good at night with the infrared flash. Battery life is good in my opinion. I use the blue Thunderbolt AA batteries from Harbor freight which I found are as good as Energizer or Duracell for less than half the price. I would say I get a couple months of use out of 12AA in warm weather, I don't take a lot of pictures with the motion detection though, I mainly take on demand picture to check my traps so that save a lot of unneeded picture taking and battery consumption. When I use the cameras in the winter and it's below freezing they go considerably faster

I use a camera I found on Amazon called UBOX ($40). You do need to sign up for the wireless plan, but its cheap. the camera notifies you, takes pics or video. You can access the camera at anytime, you can move it around to look at different areas. Turn on a light or alarm and even use the microphone to talk to people if you see them on the camera. has a solar charger so you don't need to charge the battery, I have it on one of my properties where I have issues with trespassing and trash. you can zoom in and read a license plate from 40 yards away with it. You can also let others access the camera if they download the app and you give permission. you can give them limited of full permission. Which means they can move the camera around as well. Neat little thing for $40 buck.

You can go online i use muddy you can go to theyre website they sell a 3pack for a very fair price i think its like 150 for 3 cameras and the service plan is 5$ per camera youll have to buy some SD cards you can get them online prolly cheaper then you get them at Walmart and depending on how many pics you get the batteries in mine have lasted about a year

Currently running 9 Browning ProScout Max HD cell cams, only disadvantage with these is inability to get pictures on demand, however couple steps up with cameras that is possible. Got them on sale 3 for 129.00.uses either ATT or Verizon, depending on strength of service here in the mountains usually get pictures within 3 to 4 minutes of being taken. Been running same AA batteries since last Oct

I use tactacam. On demand photos, video. Works well except coyotes. You have to position it away from the set and so they work it not facing the cam if at all possible.
