2020 Top 5 Rated Cellular Trail Cameras from Trailcampro.com 

Thanks, Justin!

Dennis thanks for the comment and the kind words. Next time we will try and include the price of each.

Haha, great point! We'll do that from now on

Thanks, George!

My spypoint was a lemon. Won’t even power up. Total waste of money.

That’s exactly what I want lol

For a wireless on the spypoint link micro is what I like. It’s around $150 ish. Just a regular trail cam, the browning strike force pro x is my favorite. It will run you about $150 also. Another is the browning Dark Ops which is also around $150. The Stealth Cam DS4K runs you about $160. Hope this helps

David thanks for the comment. I think we will make another video soon which will feature the Spartan.

Yeah I second Cuddeback! You can connect up to 15 cameras on 1 data plan. Restriction being they have to be on the same farm (within 1mile I think). I run 5 (all connected) cameras on an 80 acre piece and pay 1 monthly rate. Gather a lot of Intel without blowing the place and pulling cards! Great cameras and cell plan.

We have had really good luck with the Ridgetec Lookout. www.trailcampro.com/collections/ridgetec-trail-cameras/products/ridgetec-lookout-4g-lte

Different cameras different plans. Have been looking at the CreativeXP cameras which is now using the SimHero sim card in place of the AT&T card which can still be used but reportedly is a hassle to set up and significantly more expensive. Also believe the AT&T is a plan per camera system whereas SimHero allows extra cameras at I think $6 each. Browning has a similar plan and seems they charge $8 per additional camera, thinking Spypoint may also have a multi cam option. This very subject is one I wish reviewers would delve in to.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, we have seen the solar panel still charge fairly well in lower light conditions. It has even pulled a charge here in the office under artificial lights.

It allows moisture in the unit itself...Junk

I will never buy another spy point camera.

Jay thanks for the comment. Yes, we should have included the monthly costs for each. We do have them on each product page for each specific camera.

@@Trailcampro Would ask that in the future if doing a video like this to not only include a comparison on the $$ per camera to buy but also a comparative breakdown on what the data costs would be with each. Ultimately, nice chart showing purchase and date price per "x" number of photos per month at one time would be preferable to the viewer having to remember each set of figures or pause and scribble then resume.

How has the initial trial of these gone?

@@matts.6558 I'm hoping to go set them up next weekend and set them out. I'll try to remember to post on how things go after the cameras are up and running.

@@Fall_Legends Thanks for your response. Good luck and if you remember to post, would love to hear your feedback.

I have link micro and it’s junk. The photo transfer is pretty quick but photo quality is awful

Dave thanks for the comment. Yes, we will absolutely do a video on this.

Just shot the video you wanted, should be up soon :)

​@@Trailcampro Excellent! Thanks! Everyone enjoyed the Monday morning find the trail camera in the photo contest by Trailcampro!

Non cell.... why? It's 2020! Once you go cell cam you will wonder why you didn't switch sooner

@@jonathanrollins7292 Disagee ...To each his own.

Thanks for the comment. No we just have never tested it.

Thanks for the comment. You do not have to purchase the Spypoint Experience plan. Yes it is something they used to offer for free but do not anymore.

Thanks for the comment. The only camera on the market with a built-in solar panel is going to be the Spypoint Link S. There is no perfect cellular camera on the market. Much like our smart-phones and computers they are going to need maintenance. I think the Vosker brand is essentially a Spypoint but we have not tested them. I hope this helps.

@@Trailcampro I see when you say maintenance what kind of maintenance would a camera with a solar panel really need? Ive put backup batteries in mine but it seems to be running off the solar panel. The only issue I had so far is that the camera stopped taking pictures. Vosker said its most likely from there only being a 1/5 signal but it was working fine with a signal of 1 for 2 weeks straight transmitting at times up to 40 photos a day. If you have any tips on this let me know. I also believe the vosker is the same brand as the spypoint but not 100% sure. They look to share the same specs etc as well.

Thanks for the comment. We sold some of the X 7000 series cameras and had pretty good luck with them. As far as I know we are not going to be testing or reviewing the 6000 series cameras. Glad to hear you are having good luck with it.

Thanks for the comment. What type of batteries are you using in the Covert?

Trailcampro, covert rechargeable AA with a external 6vt with solar panel

Trailcampro it’s a 2020 code. Almost like it doesn’t wake up to take pic, has 80% service and 90% battery.

Ronald thanks for the comment. We have not received the Reconyx yet. We are looking forward to getting it though.

can you put that link here to amazon for this item I couldn't locate it on amazon . Thanks pamela

Thanks for watching. I believe those are the ones from the SD card. The Browning camera in this video we no longer carry. The new one is going to be the Pro Scout. www.trailcampro.com/collections/browning-trail-cameras/products/browning-defender-wireless-pro-scout-at-t www.trailcampro.com/collections/browning-trail-cameras/products/browning-defender-wireless-pro-scout-verizon

Thanks for the comment. The Spartan Ghost cams which are not in this video have a built-in battery and you can activate GPS on them (there are some different scenarios where this function will not work). However, most cameras do not have this feature. Being they are cellular cameras hopefully you will get a photo of them stealing it and maybe be able to identify them.

I will say that I have 2 covert code black cameras and they are AMAZING cameras. The code black does have a GPS in it, it also has an option to lock your camera with a pin code. With that being said, IF someone did in fact take your camera, it would be useless without the code to operate it. I would recommend getting a lock box for any camera that you have if you plan on purchasing the camera. If your willing to spend 250-450 dollars on a camera, I would take spend 30-50 extra dollars on a lock box and cable to ensure that you keep it. I personally use mine on public land it has been a fear of mine that it would be stolen. I try to take every precaution to prevent that. Using the 4 digit pin, lock box and cable has worked thus far

The Ridgetec Lookout can be set to disable the camera completely if device is not on the network. This means if you lose it to theft or it goes missing... you can disable it completely by turning-off the cellular-signal remotely, or allowing your plan to run-out. Thant's not the same as tracking...but at least you know it will be useless to the thief.

Thanks for the comment. It doesn't matter who you have as your carrier. These camera work off of ATT, Verizon, and some work on T Mobile. You would want to choose whoever gets the best service where you are placing the camera.

Yes it will send up to a 30 second video to the app. If you have any other questions please let us know.

Trailcampro thanks! Just ordered the bundle from you guys! Appreciate the quick reply.

That is THE question for me that no reviewers I have watched tend to address, the cost of running the plan, oh they talk about batteries, but not the cost of data plans per camera or carrier type stuff. Generally speaking it seems data plans directly from the carriers are more costly, especially AT&T, than the plans through the camera portals. The carrier plans likely provide faster delivery of your photos whereas going through the camera company app it seems likely the multiple stops and camera company server capacity, as was mentioned with spypoint, are likely to slow the time between exposure, notification, and receipt of the thumbnail. I have a Moultrie XA-7000i which runs through their app and is frustratingly slow at loading the photo even after notification whether on my phone or to my computer. Even though the camera was cheap @ $129 after rebate, I will not buy another because performance is why they needed a rebate to start moving them. Trying to decide on a second camera which is why I am here at this time. Not planning to buy any camera that requires direct interaction with AT&T even though there is a tower within a mile, plans are simply to high. I like plans that allow you to buy x number of photos per month and add extra cameras to the same plan for $6-8 each. Some cameras may take 5 pictures a day others may take 50 per day, give me one data number and let the cameras eat from it as needed. Been hoping for some serious cut to the chase reviews of the various plans and what their costs work out to be.

If you purchased the cameras with us there is no need to go through Spypoint. We handle all warranties in house.

Thanks for the comment. We have not completed the review of the Reconyx yet. We are hoping to have it done in the next couple of weeks.

@@Trailcamprothank you, I'll be looking for it. 👍

How’s the spartan so far I was looking at Snyper cams also

I've had two spypoints both worked good for a week then they just quit. Pieces of crap

@@jhjewmiller1 buy once cry once. I have 4 reconyx that i have had over 10 years and still work like new.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, we agree we should have mentioned the price of the cameras as well. However, you can use the link in the description if you would like to check out pricing. Next video we will be sure to include pricing of the cameras. Thanks for watching!

@@Trailcampro Thanks. Right after i watched this video i saw a more recent video where you did include pricing. I purchased one of those models from you. Cant wait to get it in the woods.

Thanks for the comment. If you have the Link S Spypoint cellular cameras they will do video but they do not send video at this time.

Sorry to say, when talking to Spyoint support you are now be talking to someone in India.

Hi Robert. I'm sorry you feel so strongly about this. We've made some pretty huge strides in our system, servers, and most importantly our service department. Please shoot me a PM as I'd love to hear your story and hopefully offer a change of heart. Have a great day.

Know a guy that has/had 20 (yes two-zero) of the solar cell cams @ $500 EACH had almost half go out after the internal battery ran down after the AA's drained and was unable to restart, some were replaced under warranty, those not under warranty were replaced by Browning units. I would more likely buy Brownings and go for a separate solar panel with built in Lithium Ion battery pack. I had 2 non-cellular solar units that did okay but the gasket material is to soft and the gaps in the hard plastic are to large thereby allowing ants to chew through the gasket, enter the camera, and destroyed the internals, totally useless now. Were okay while they lasted but to danged expensive to be a throw away within 2 years. You would think some of these companies would offer reasonable refurbishing programs. You buy our camera and if needed we will refurbish as needed for $50 or $75. Might be a good way to build some customer loyalty.

@@lanclos-fishing moving your phone support to India wasn't a great move.....

Spypoint is junk im going to covert.

I’ve called spypoint customer support 3 times in 4 days and had a customer service rep answer within 5 mins every time,
