- In this Moultrie Mobile Edge Trail Camera Review we take a look at the Edge cellular trail camera from Moultrie Mobile, and go over how it performed for us in the field over the course of the last seasons use. The Moultrie Mobile Edge Cellular trail camera is a unique trail camera that utilizes many cellular networks, is cloud based, and doesn't use an SD card to store photos and videos, so you never run out of memory and lose the chance at catching that bull or buck because your card is full.
The Moultrie Mobile Edge trail camera is controlled but the Moultrie Mobile website and/or phone app, making it super easy to adjust the settings on the fly with a few clicks. Setup of the camera is ridiculously easy in the field, then just adjust the settings throughout the year to take video, pictures, or both.

After 20 years of using Moultrie products, that all came crashing down today. I remember using those big, bulky trail cameras Moultrie first came out with when game cameras just came out. I had half a dozen of them. Used them for years! And today, I have several of their automatic feeders. Well, after having to send an Edge trail camara back, not once, but twice, I simply asked them to cancel my subscription and refund my money. They refunded my money spent on the camera but continued to charge me for the data plan. When I finally caught on, they simply said, "sorry, that is your responsibility to cancel your plan" and refused to refund that portion. So here's my thoughts: I'll own that. Im sure its in their fine print that I failed to read. But sometimes to please a customer 100%, you have to go an extra mile to do what is right, not what is policy. At the end of the day, a few bucks is not worth worrying about. But the principle of the issue is. It takes years to build customer loyalty and just minutes to lose it.
Thanks for sharing your experience, and that's too bad. Sorry to hear. Thanks for watching though!
I'm just using mine to watch my chickens inside the chicken coop to see who's laying what eggs and how my broody hens are hatching out their chicks. I love the camera.
Hey, that works as well! Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for the review. It was very helpful!!
Hey there Ty! Glad to hear it was helpful and thanks for watching!

You bet! Thanks for watching!

You bet! Thanks for watching!
Great video man !!! New subscriber here
Awesome! Thanks for the sub. Really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Great review
Thank you!
Good job
Thanks!
Thank you !
Great info!
Can you take an "on demand" picture from your phone?
You bet! Glad it was helpful.
I don't believe you can take an on-demand picture...at least not that I'm aware of. Thanks for watching!
@@BackwoodsPursuit thanks for your follow-up!
I was thinking it would be useful to be assured the cam is still there and functioning even if there was zero activity.
@Gene Burlette yeah, that makes sense. Sometimes you can start to wonder if everything is okay if there's no activity or pics coming over for a while. It does give you a status on the app though which is nice.
Can you just download videos you want directly to your laptop or do you have to buy them or ask for them?
Hey there! Once you have the plan for the camera, you are free to download the photos/videos. There is no extra charge for downloading them. Depending on your plan, you may have some restrictions on how many downloads are available per month. Thanks for watching!
Cost of plan per camera would have been most helpful…. Seems cell camera plans are secret till you buy.
Curiously missing from video.
Thanks for the suggestion. I simply forgot to go through that aspect in the video, but I'll make sure to do that on my upcoming video on the Edge Pro camera. Thanks for watching!
Data plan is per camera correct? Meaning their plans dont offer multiple cameras at one cost?
Hey there! Yes, that is correct. The data plan is on a per camera basis. It can get a bit expensive if you are running a bunch of cameras. Thanks for watching!
Have you had issues with them not sending pictures? Mine today for some reason haven’t sent anything for 8hrs. Was getting a lot. I edited the time frames and what not after I left the property, seems like I need to go back and press the connect button on each of them again. Idk weird, need to go back out anyways, hopefully problem doesn’t happen randomly when I’m not nearby!
Hey there! I haven't had that issue yet. I'll put them back out here shortly for the summer scouting season here in Idaho...so hopefully they don't have that problem. I'll be putting them deep in the backcountry, so not sending pics would be a big deal lol! Thanks for watching!
@@BackwoodsPursuit it looks like if you try to switch the Time-lapse/Scheduler while you are not near the camera, it will not take any pictures until you’re able to go back to the camera and press the connect button
@@SexyTexas good to know. Thanks for sharing!
@@BackwoodsPursuit oh you know what… I just got pictures to come through. Maybe I didn’t leave the app open long enough last time I had this issue so the connection got messed up somehow. IDK, glad it’s taking pictures though!!! Pretty awesome cameras, thanks for the video
@@SexyTexas that's excellent! Thanks for the info and letting me know!
Is the edge and the edge nationwide the same thing?
I'm not sure on that...I know Moultrie just came out with a new Edge Pro though. Thanks for watching!
i have mine on high PIR, 0 sec delay, and immediate send and it hardly takes pics or it won’t send every pic? i’ll get one pic of a deer and it’ll sit there eating for 20+mins before it even takes another pic or anything. i’ve even played in front of the camera for 45mins and only got a handful of pics taken/sent.
That's not good! Maybe try setting the upload to not immediate and see if that helps? I haven't had any issues with my two so far. Thanks for watching either way!
@@BackwoodsPursuit i’ve done tried everything. i’m trying to get as many pics as possible since i have very low traffic. i have a momma and baby who spend 30+mins eating every day and only get like 2 burst of pics the entire 30mins
@ByArtroh man, that's crazy! You have it set on high sensitivity?
@@ByArtroh i have the same problems with all 4 of mine.
But does it send video to your phone
Hey there! Yes, it sends the video and/or pictures to the Moultrie app, which you can then download if you'd like. Thanks for watching!
Also how much does this plan cost?
There are a number of plans available depending on how many images and videos you want to download per month. The plans range from $10 - $35 per month. Thanks for watching!
Invest in a good external rechargeable battery. No need for AA batteries.
Yeah....that's a great idea as well! They have solar panels as well that I need to try. Thanks for watching!
Why not just use c or d batteries?
I don't know if it'll take C or D batteries. As far as I know, it's designed for AA batteries only. Thanks for watching!
You don't need a data plan?
Hey there! Yeah, you do need to plan through Moultrie Mobile. Thanks for watching!
How much is the data plan?
Yes you do I just got two of them willnot work without data plans.
These things miss a lot of pictures.
Hey there! Thanks for the feedback. How have you confirmed that they miss a lot of pics? Just curious. Thanks!
@@BackwoodsPursuit driving heavy machinery 20 feet away and not getting a single pic. I watched 12 deer in front of camera some 2 feet away for over 45 minutes and not a single pic. I watched deer in front of them dozens of times and not a single picture. Ive walked up and poured out a bag of corn in front of these cameras a lot of times 10 feet away and no picture. Sometimes they just dont take any pictures for some reason. I cant explain it. Ive had 4 going non stop since they came out. Ive set on bait piles for coyotes watch animals come and go all night and not a single picture or very few. All of these things have happened more times than i can remember.
@@Dougarrowhead wow that's crazy and not good. Thanks for sharing!
@@BackwoodsPursuit i watched a deer feeding in front of one the other night and didnt get a single picture. Thats why i got on youtube to see if anyone was having the same problems. Its like they go into sleep mode. Maybe it saves the companies money by not transmitting pics and is done intentionally! Something isnt right.
@@BackwoodsPursuit ive got pics from other peoples cameras of hogs and deer in other states also.
