Best cell cam review video I've seen. Thank you! I have used 2 Spypoint link micro V cell cams since 9-12-22. 1 camera has worked flawlessly. The other has worked periodically. After about 5 weeks of emails back & forth with customer service, they sent me a free replacement. I set it up in the same open spot & within 20 minutes, the camera sent me 100 photos (maxing out the plan for the month). No branches were tripping it & it wasn't windy. I can almost guarantee they do it on purpose in an attempt to get you to purchase a plan. Even with the troubles I've had, I will continue to use them this year. Battery life has been awesome.
this is one of the first comments I've ever made on youtube. this is a fantastic video! thank you for taking the time to do this. I will be basing my cameras purchases for this next season on this video. I bought 4 Moultrie Edge cameras this last preseason and I can't say enough about how poorly they performed. eating up batteries while not taking pics or connecting at all. they wasted much of my time and energy this past season and it's time that I won't get back. I've been a long time moultrie patron and will likely get rid of all my moultrie mobile cams due to the horrible performance of the cameras and customer service. between 2 of my friends and myself, we had 8 edge cameras that all had the same issues. we didn't realize how bad it was until we placed moultrie 7000 cameras side by side with several edge cameras and realized we simply weren't getting pics and they weren't working. I'm currently waiting to have one last conversation with moultrie about this and I will update this comment regarding the results.
the cameras are basically radio modems operating on 27 megahertz. when you place the radios in such close proximity it will cause problems with one camera transmitting and another receiving simultaneously. One's transmitter will overload the other receiving capabilities. You have to spread them out from each other at least a few feet or more.
Didn't realize that cellular trailcams worked on 27 megahertz. I thought that they worked around 600MHz or 800MHz or or other higher frequencies. Maybe you are not much of a radio ace at all and perhaps should stay quiet.
@@marksdronechannel6309 a portable radio telephone in 1965 might be in the 49 mhz range and fill part of a cars trunk and the antenna whip was like 4 to 5 ft tall. Cellular in mid late 1980s used the top end of the uhf TV channels say 890 mhz.😊
I have 5 Spypoints that were installed around August 2022 - they have ALL operated flawlessly and I agree with all the points you made with regards to triggering on stuff really far away and also with having the multiple images taken too quickly together, sometimes before the animal has even moved. Battery life when transmitting just once or twice a day is crazy good, I am still on the first set of batteries (cameras all reading consistently about 60% life left after 6 months).
I'm envious @scarkner. I installed a Flex S and it's been absolutely horrible. It works for a while and then won't send pictures. I purposely walked directly in front of it after my hunt this a.m. and I went undetected. Spypoint support has been equally horrific.
Awesome info and very well put together. Thank you 👍. I do believe you were drill instructor in another life tho. About halfway through I was standing at attention stressing out if I missed instructions 😄 thanks again
Great job! Well done and very informative. TactaCam only sends ONE Pic, I had 2 of those cameras. I had mine set to take/send 2 pics, it ONLY sent 1. When I called customer service they said it is taking 2 pics but only sends ONE to "save battery life", you can see "both pics" when you pull the SD card from the camera. Needless to say I sent them back and bought SpyPoint.
Disappointing that the Moultrie edge was a lemon. I have four of them and they all work great. I enjoy the SD cardless feature. For someone like me hunts public land They are a great option. The only knock I have on them is trigger speed. I wish it was a hair faster. Two of them have been out for almost 2 months and are still above 90% in battery life. I have switched back and forth between video and photo on them many times. They take photos nightly. I have very few daytime photos simply because our deer are so nocturnal, but the ones I have are pretty dang good. Even the night photos are very clear depending on the humidity level. I am happy especially for 80 bucks apiece.
I had a ton of problems with delta model moultrie. Eats batteries if you don't have a strong cell signal. In 1 week my lithium batteries were dead. I had the cameras replaced more than once.
Really a great video I appreciate it. So I have a little bit different situation. I have cameras that my neighbors hacked into my Wi-Fi and shine lights into my cameras and destroyed them with a laser light. Now I want to use game cams as video cams to catch them because they won't be able to see these. I know this video was a year old but I was wondering if you could tell me what would be the best game cam to go with for very, very clear pictures in the day and the night, please? Thank you in advance and awesome video. Subscribed and liked.@@HuntingFarmerOfficial
Great video. Thanks for all your work. I tried a borrowed Spypoint Flex against my Tactacam Reveal XPro before I invested in more cams. As far as photo motion quality between the two at night, the Tactacam had photo motion blur, whereas the Spypoint was much more clear. Otherwise, the still picture quality, both day and night, of the two was pretty close. I went with all Tactacam X Pros because Tactacam has great customer service and Spypoint, from my research- not so much.
Thank you for taking your time to make this video and to share it with others to help make their decision on what to buy. I will be making a purchase as a gift for my husband.
That had to be the most precise review ever made on trail cameras my friend!! Great job helping everyone know the facts!! I was pretty sure the Spypoint Flex was your favorite! Good luck with everything!!
I've given up on brand name trail cameras since discovering the GardePro E5. I don't plan on using cellular trail cameras myself, but I would be curious how the GardePro cellular trail camera would stack up against the rest. It's sort of a new offering for them. I really appreciate the effort you put into your reviews. You're the Project Farm of trail camera testing! His reviews of other things are awesome, too! Thank you!
Wow I didn't know anyone else was using the GardePro. I love mine. I have many. I wasn't aware they even had a cell cam. Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna have to check it out. I love that the regular card cameras allow for pics and videos at the same time.
Thanks for the video .I have about 20 SPYPOINT now none over 2 years old and we have updated and updated and updated and about half of them worked for another month or 2 I have used tactacam now for 2 years and all still work with no issues (yet ) so my pic along with my 3 sons and brother n law is by far tactacam
Great video! One thing I have found with the Tactacam cameras when compared to others is that if you run several cams, the plans are more economical because of how they count number of images. The number is cumulative for all your cameras. Others seem to count by each camera and you can end up with a lot of unused photos in your plan each month.
Thanks Dave, I only latched onto your UA-cam channel a couple of days ago, right after I purchased my SpyPoint Flex M camera. I am happy that I made the right choice. Keep up the great videos.
Good thorough review Dave! Personally, I don’t trust the Spypoint brand. They have been known for years now for firmware update issues and continuous problems.
That’s why I left spy point,always having updates mid stream..they did have a very strong sensor..I wish the delta base had been in this test bc it is a way better representative of Moultrie,even the images and videos I get are better with it than the edge and it’s supposed to be 9 less megapixels???idk..also Didn’t like the flip up antannae on the edge bc seems it is begging to be broken,
Thank you for taking the time to do all that testing!!!!!!! It was very helpful, I am about to invest quite a bit into more cell cams and was very unsure if i wanted to take the chance of switching from Spypoint.Ii have had issues with my Spypoint LM2 cameras on restart from loss of power but their costumer service is great and is always able to resolve my issues. Again THANK YOU for all the work you put into that!!!!!! I believe you saved me a lot of money!!!!!!!!
Hi Dave, for us elk hunters, it's video where it's important. Might I suggest a second round of of the 30,60.90 ft tests, but strictly for video this time? Most manufacturers say their video triggers are slower, and this would be a good way to find out. Also, I have first gen reveal, and received a Moultrie second gen Delta for Chrismas. While the reveal has an adjustable video length, it was a major disappointment to find out the Delta will only record 15 second videos. If an elk is in a Wallow, you want max length on the videos. If you could detail the video length capabilities of each camera, that would be most useful. Thank you.
Great job! I have 4 Spypoint cams and like them a lot. They work and all of them while different models they are all the Solar type, and the Bat life is fantastic. Thanks for the video.
Very cool test setup Dave! I like that you compared "like" cameras! I was surprised at the trigger speed of the Tactacam...almost too fast. But maybe a good speed for video mode. Very clever with the cones to measure day and night camera activation. I really like your look at battery life. There are so many variables when it comes to battery life...but you took most of them out. Cool! Great video Dave!!
It’s great to see so many cameras being compared against each other in one video! It’s great to hear what your number one is - we might have to try one of those out for our trail camera videos!
Thank you for this! For years all I used was Moultrie, and my camera died. I purchased another moultrie that lasted 5 days and drained 24 batteries, a moultrie solar panel, and only took 6 solid black photos, swapped it under warranty with another that made it just under a yr and died. Swapped it out again under warranty with the next level up version at the time and it lasted almost to the end of the 2yr warranty and died so I just returned it and got my money back. I purchased a Tactacam last yr and so far I still like it. I do miss the widescreen from the moultrie though because I get a lot of empty pics when deer are at the edge of the screen like the sensor range is wider than the camera lens.
Spypoint are by far the worst in my opinion, slow to respond, there is a glitch with their unlimited photos that “expires” and support was by far the worst. They offered to replace the camera with one half its value which still did not resolve the unlimited photo glitch. Being out of excuses we are constantly disconnected forcing us to wait over an hour each time to get through. Will NEVER buy from them again. Bushnell has been fantastic, and looking forward to trying one of the Tacticam.
You think Spypoint is "..by far the worst"? Are you on crack? Every single review of Spypoint I've ever read has been positive. You must be a disgruntled employee
I really like this UA-cam of your comparison of cell cams. I've gotten some poor trail cams and am looking at investing in a cell cam option. I liked the common sense approach man. Thanks! 😊
Moultrie had alot of issues with the original delta but the new delta base and edge models have been pretty reliable I ran 4 edge and 15 of base for last 6 months not many issues. Honestly I don't think any cell cams are without issues if you get a big sample size
The Moutrie pro edge 2 is a game changer in my opinion. Live aim, on demand photos and videos, smart zones, no glow. I have many of them and have had zero issues. Problem is I need like 5 more
Dave, your trail cam reviews are on another level. Great job on this one. Definitely gave me some things to think about before I do another review. Keep up the great work.
Great work and effort put into this review! I would add that you mentioned customer support for the moultrie cam out of necessary use. Out of experience SPYPOINT has horrible customer support. I’d be curious about the other brands customer support as well. Thank you
Thanks for watching. I’ve heard many bad experiences with Spypoint customer service. The only other camera I dealt with during this video was Tactacam. You may have noticed the date/time were not synced on the Tactacam. Customer service helped figure it out. And I can’t say enough how good they were 👍
Great job providing all that information Dave! Might be your best review yet and that says a lot because they are all really good. Great job buddy. Hopefully I’ll add a cellular trail camera sometime here in the future and I think you narrowed down pretty well for me. ✅ ✅ ✅
That video was excellent. Our place is about 100 miles from where I live. Cellular service is sketchy at best. This narrows it down for us. I wasn’t looking to experiment. Thank you for allowing me to narrow the prospects/suspects.
Thought you did a great job on the review. I have been using Moultrie cams for a long time. I have some old ones that are still working and I have some newer ones that are nothing but a problem. I am ready for a change. So am looking to change manufacturers on a couple of cell phone cams. Your video has helped guide me on my next purchase. Many thanks.
Great video, I've been running six moultrie edge camera this year. Replaced my old moultrie camera and modem system, got to say I've had very little problem with them. I had one them early on would turn on connect take a couple pictures and need a battery change. I was not using using the recommended energizers batteries. I decided to use energizers in this camera and it is still running strong at 70% since the battery change in mid October its now January 10 and has taken hundreds of pictures. Thanks great review.
Great review, thank you. I have 10 spypoint Flex and have lots of trouble, customer service is poor as you have to wait over an hour or more on average to get help. I have had 4 of the 10 units replaced. We are now selling the bunch and probably will go with the Tatacam per this video
I bought the bushnell a few months ago for this season as my first ever cellular camera because a friend referred it to me. I did not watch any video like this before buying. It’s not a bad camera but I do have some of the same complaints as you said, with slow trigger speed as my biggest complaint. I wasn’t a fan of the battery lock either, and I don’t use it for video but maybe one day I would like to and obviously this is the worst camera in your review for video. Although that tactacam is the most expensive I do believe most times you get what you pay for. So maybe in my future hunting seasons I will switch to that brand. I also wanted to say that you did a great job on this review, best cellcam review video I’ve seen, and I think you compared them all fairly. Thanks!
The Moultrie micro 42 brought me here never bought a cell trail cam but after watching this review all the smoke cleared now we know what is best. Thanks Bro!
Dear sir, thanks for taking all the time you did in making and comparing these trail cams. This is a very confusing subject to be sure and the average person isn't going to buy all these cameras, much less run around thru cones testing them! Thank you!
Thank’s for the reviews! My favorite one is by far tactacam! Where i live, she is the only one who send us pictures ! No Cell phone signal but thi one works anyway! Boly is my second choice but we had too much issue with Spy point to get some…. Hunt nuh brand gonna be my next try!
Awesome video! Just Bought a Tactacam reveal xpro. Very happy with it. I live in Ontario canada and have heard a lot of people having problems with the spypoint camera’s not sending photos. And poor customer support.
I now have 12 Spypoint cell cameras. 4 Dark, 4Micro, 4 Flex. I use them all for off grid security. Yes sending pics to the server takes some time and I'm barley getting a signal 25/50% as I'm not close to any towers. I have been using Spypoint cameras for over 5 years now and I'm a Spypoint insider member. I swap out most of my cameras so I never have to pay anything just the 90.00 for the membership. They have all worked flawlessly and I have a few on external solar power/Winghome and new Spypoint 15000mha, which are working great. I love the HD photos as I can now make out license plates and people faces so much better now as my gate cameras are up high and a good distance from the gate. ...... Nova Scotia Canada. Thanks for the video.
Excellent video. Thanks for all your effort. I have 4 of the Moultrie Edge cameras and experience the same issues you did. Sitting in my stand, i watched a doe and two yearlings feed around for about three hours, right in front of my cameras, and never got a single picture. Makes me wonder what else i have been missing.
Jerry Overcash , N.C. I recently purchased a spy point flex. i am still learning to use all its features. You are right,it takes great photos and videos and is slow to send. I wait hours for them sometimes, and signal states it has 90% . It is the first cellular cam i have owned. I am sure i will work out the bugs. I like it, but a little disappointed in it at the same time. Some of the other guys at the hunting club use cell cams. What brands I do not know, but they get the photos reasonably quick. Like i said maybe i need to work out the bugs. Great job you did on covering these different cell cams. It really helped me a lot being that I am just starting to use them, thanks.
Great video. I run serval Moultries and have some issues with the original Deltas. BUT, the customer services was amazing and they sent me new Edges to replace the old ones. They shipped them the day I had the old ones dropped off at UPS and I got them in less than 5 days! As for the failed distance test, not sure what happened. I can tell you that you can set the motion detection sensitivity and the ones I run on HIGH have captured movement at well over 100 feet. As for batteries, mine have been running 2 months and are still above 80%... Setting matter of course.
Good review great job. The one thing I’d consider along side your very thorough parameters is customer service. Spypoint’s customer service is terrible and I mean absolutely horrible. A quick check on line will show that I’m not the only person that feels this way. I’ve spent hours trying to trouble shoot a Spypoint micro link. I was hung up on several times and had to start From the beginning with each new service rep. After many hours I was given 10% off on a new camera but only if I ordered then and there on the phone. I bought a s flex but when this goes bad I won’t ever buy another Spypoint
Hi Dave… It’s been a long time..and while I was surfing utube there you are commenting on my favorite trail camera among others.. Actually I own the Tactacam Reveal xb and love it .. The farm? Where I hunt is 13 miles away from my house and to be eating supper and have your cell phone go ding ding is something really special.. Like you said it’s a matter of personal choice.. The xb is discontinued with the reveal x 2.0 replacing it .. A couple of things I’d like to discuss.. On the SD card .. it definitely should be formatted before use ..I had the Tactacam sd card and noticed that the storage capacity had saturated at 2000 pictures even though the specs said 4-5 K.. I bought a san disc extreme and it is great.. You need a speed of 10.. You can format the sd card in the camera , but you have to be 3/5 feet away from the camera and not from home .. On the audio quality..I’m going to call Tactacam and look into a Lavalier Cord or wireless mic for better audio quality..Being a professional photographer I understand you appreciating wide view aspect viewing, but I think Tactacam’s approach to a square compression format will result in better picture quality What do you think .. This was one excellent presentation on your behalf ..You saved the best until last ….. ps-With my crossbow,, I harvested a ten point ,,, 170 # whitetail 🦌 deer in November.2022
I have 2 tactacam revel 2.0, I love them! Easy to use and I get pictures right away. I put their solar panels on both and use no batteries and the cost for both cameras on unlimited pictures is $25 a month. The solar panel is only $59 dollars and works great. I got mine on sale for $119 at Bass pro. Nice reviews 👌
I travel a lot for work and live out in the woods in a national forest that has a lot of cabin theft from meth heads so I’ve been looking for a while to figure out which trail cam to go with. It’s very hard to watch reviews of individual cameras by different people that often times don’t review all the same things which is frustrating. I’m an engineer by trade so I have a very scientific way of thinking and this video literally encompassed every feature at the same time (board tests) with you as the only person giving the info which allowed me to avoid trying to differentiate between different review styles. I absolutely loved the amperage review because of the chart you had with the brands, power draw, and different tests all in one graphic. This is the best review I’ve seen yet, thank you for helping me make my decision! This is my only 1 of two cons but it’s not much but using the same cams in different spots for the videos was slightly disappointing because it lost a little bit of that scientific method you had going with the cones where everything was 100% controlled because in some of the day videos there was different light settings and in the night videos some cams had deer in both foreground and background and other camera videos only had one deer, it would of been nice to have all the cams in the same spot to compare how foreground and background deer focused - I get it, your review was to see deer and my application (home security) is to catch thieves so if a video could clearly show two thieves faces more clear that would of been more helpful to me. One other thing would be cool to see a graphic like you did with the power where all the tests (including price) on one one graphic with the category winner highlighted green so it’s easier to see patterns. Again, this is not a dig on you at all this video was awesome! I hope more cam companies see this and start sending you gear to review because this was second to none. Liked and subbed and I’ll be sharing with friends! Also - nice frickin ranch man!
I purchased a two pack sale on the Moultrie edge cams and I have to say they are both THE worst cameras I've ever purchased. Returning them both tomorrow and getting another t-cam reveal x pro, that camera is in my opinion amazing. I left my X pro out all off season and went to grab it and put new batteries in it to find 8t upside down hanging open and FULL of water from a tree that fell on it. I took it to the garage, air hosed it dry and could. Not. Believe.. when it turned on and is still this year out in the woods working like a champ. Figured that was worth sharing! Thanks for the vid!
Excellent job! And perfect timing for me since I'm needing to purchase one of these for security reasons. Thank you for taking the time to do this review.
Dave it was a great review. I gained alot of knowledge from your comparison of theses cam. I have been bouncing around with 3 of yours and your review gave me the warm and fuzzies to be secure in my selection. Thanks Dave it so hard to get honest reviews especially from manufacturers
Great videos. I have 2 moultrie deltas I couldn't give away. Same problems you had. Even after replacing them. I think its important to talk about night photos. If using no glow IR of low glow. Low glow using less amps and great photos. But can spook animals
Thanks for watching! That’s a great observation on the original test I showed. Later in the video when I gave the exact seconds I was using a stopwatch and had every camera set to one photo. It doesn’t seem to matter (even on video mode the Tactacam is the quickest) 👍
Good job. I just got the Tactacam Reveal SK which is obviously not reviewed here but first time getting a camera,,, I just wanted to check in and see what people like. Thanks
A VERY comprehensive test, as we have come to expect from you. I shared one of your comparison videos a while back, saying that I know of nobody doing a more thorough job, and my opinion hasn't changed. That wasn't a video, it was a career!
Dave - your reviews are very professional and highly organized. I have found that the TACTACAM is a better choice than Spypoint. The solar panels available for TACTACAM are a must-have. Thanks again for your through review.
I own 3 bushnells each have been running since august have taken 10k pics combined 2 cameras on second set of batteries one on its third. Cameras have run flawless no problems what so ever. Easy set up easy app to use can’t complain with them. I’ve used moultrie in the past and they were good when the 6000 series was made camera worked great but all down hill after. I recommend Bushnell to everyone I talk to now cause they have been amazing
Bushnel app easy to use audio isnt really needed in my opinion more components to go bad. I have 2 Core20v so far they are working good just bought the second 1 you get 30days free unlimited video or pictures and cost was cheaper at Midway Usa 49.99
Awesome test! We need to see what the animals see when the infrared flash is initiated at night. I have the reveal x and its lights up 4 bright red alien looking eyes at night. Ive seen multiple mature bucks see it, turn and run, avoiding that area in future. Thats why I switched the the Reveal X Pro. Absolutely no infrared visible. I never see any reviews with this key demonstration. Please next test include what the night infrared flash looks like.
Great Video! I was thinking that the Spy Cam was the best! we have 4 Moulties they seem ok.. But next fall we will be looking for more..Moultrie says they have a new camera coming out this spring..
I did try that and then end up getting a lot of pictures due to the wind blowing things. I see moultrie has the Edge Pro, any thoughts of comparing that to a similar camera?
I agree with your assessment of the SpyPoint Flex. I have one and will definitely buy more. I also have a few older Browning Strike Force cameras which are great but dated technology. I have one SpyPoint Link-Micro-S-LTE but it's not my favorite. Thanks for your video.
Great reviews. I purchased the Moultrie and had it replaced three different times. Each time it worked on setup and then stopped taking pictures. Customer service was good but I would not recommend the Moutrie as I finally gave up after hours of time on the phone with many ideas as to what the issue was but issues were never resolved. Finally went to the local store and bought a Bushnell with no issues.
Awesome job.... one of the cons is not being able to replace the antenna or upgrading the antenna. In deep woods it can be hard to get 4-5g signal. For clearer nightime video consider a 12v spot illuminator mounted near the camera.
Video was awesome and it confirms that the spy point flex which I purchased was your number one pick I really enjoy mine. I bought two more. I will get one of the tacticCam for security, because of the speed of its sending the notification and the picture. Keep up the good work it’s awesome. I did buy the solar with my flex so I don’t have to change batteries. It’s really nice Joe.
What a fantastic review of these cameras, I know it was a year ago but I've just bought the spypoint and was looking around for reviews to see if the one I bought was good and came across your video, loved it thanks.
I can tell you exactly why some cameras may have failed during your test so you can take it into consideration for future comparisons. When multiple cameras are activated and mounted this close to each other they will interfere with each others ability to communicate. It would not be any cameras fault it is simply the electrical interference produced by the cameras around it. There are other tests you can do as well like activate a camera and test to prove it works just fine. Then place that camera directly next to a computer monitor or some other device that puts out a strong electrical signal and you will see it will often no longer be able to transmit so you will not get a notification. I have seen cases where placing a camera next to my monitor that my screen on the monitor starts to go a little crazy. Keep up the good work though.
Best cell cam review video I've seen. Thank you!
I have used 2 Spypoint link micro V cell cams since 9-12-22. 1 camera has worked flawlessly. The other has worked periodically. After about 5 weeks of emails back & forth with customer service, they sent me a free replacement. I set it up in the same open spot & within 20 minutes, the camera sent me 100 photos (maxing out the plan for the month). No branches were tripping it & it wasn't windy. I can almost guarantee they do it on purpose in an attempt to get you to purchase a plan. Even with the troubles I've had, I will continue to use them this year. Battery life has been awesome.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your experiences 👍
Frickin' marketeers are going to ruin the world.
Thank you Dave, I've been weeks checking reviews, you and the commenters NAILED it!!!!
Thank you for all the work you put in.
I appreciate you watching and for the encouragement 👍
So what one did you buy?
This is the best trail camera review I have ever seen.
this is one of the first comments I've ever made on youtube. this is a fantastic video! thank you for taking the time to do this. I will be basing my cameras purchases for this next season on this video. I bought 4 Moultrie Edge cameras this last preseason and I can't say enough about how poorly they performed. eating up batteries while not taking pics or connecting at all. they wasted much of my time and energy this past season and it's time that I won't get back. I've been a long time moultrie patron and will likely get rid of all my moultrie mobile cams due to the horrible performance of the cameras and customer service. between 2 of my friends and myself, we had 8 edge cameras that all had the same issues. we didn't realize how bad it was until we placed moultrie 7000 cameras side by side with several edge cameras and realized we simply weren't getting pics and they weren't working. I'm currently waiting to have one last conversation with moultrie about this and I will update this comment regarding the results.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Thank you. Hopefully Moultrie will will be able to help figure out what’s going on 👍
the cameras are basically radio modems operating on 27 megahertz. when you place the radios in such close proximity it will cause problems with one camera transmitting and another receiving simultaneously. One's transmitter will overload the other receiving capabilities. You have to spread them out from each other at least a few feet or more.
Didn't realize that cellular trailcams worked on 27 megahertz. I thought that they worked around 600MHz or 800MHz or or other higher frequencies. Maybe you are not much of a radio ace at all and perhaps should stay quiet.
@@marksdronechannel6309 a portable radio telephone in 1965 might be in the 49 mhz range and fill part of a cars trunk and the antenna whip was like 4 to 5 ft tall. Cellular in mid late 1980s used the top end of the uhf TV channels say 890 mhz.😊
😆
Not.
Ham radio operator here...
Wrong band.
11meters or 27mhz is not on a cellular band... it's cb.
You will be thinking more like 900mhz...
I have 5 Spypoints that were installed around August 2022 - they have ALL operated flawlessly and I agree with all the points you made with regards to triggering on stuff really far away and also with having the multiple images taken too quickly together, sometimes before the animal has even moved. Battery life when transmitting just once or twice a day is crazy good, I am still on the first set of batteries (cameras all reading consistently about 60% life left after 6 months).
My Browning camera battery life using lithium batteries 1 yr 3mos [ 24 % when went to replace].
@@tiberiuswade8789 yeah I'm just using no name alkalines, 30 cents each.
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience 👍
Wish u luck. Mine dont last much past 13 months.
I'm envious @scarkner. I installed a Flex S and it's been absolutely horrible. It works for a while and then won't send pictures. I purposely walked directly in front of it after my hunt this a.m. and I went undetected. Spypoint support has been equally horrific.
Awesome info and very well put together. Thank you 👍. I do believe you were drill instructor in another life tho. About halfway through I was standing at attention stressing out if I missed instructions 😄 thanks again
Great job! Well done and very informative. TactaCam only sends ONE Pic, I had 2 of those cameras. I had mine set to take/send 2 pics, it ONLY sent 1. When I called customer service they said it is taking 2 pics but only sends ONE to "save battery life", you can see "both pics" when you pull the SD card from the camera. Needless to say I sent them back and bought SpyPoint.
Disappointing that the Moultrie edge was a lemon. I have four of them and they all work great. I enjoy the SD cardless feature. For someone like me hunts public land They are a great option. The only knock I have on them is trigger speed. I wish it was a hair faster. Two of them have been out for almost 2 months and are still above 90% in battery life. I have switched back and forth between video and photo on them many times. They take photos nightly. I have very few daytime photos simply because our deer are so nocturnal, but the ones I have are pretty dang good. Even the night photos are very clear depending on the humidity level. I am happy especially for 80 bucks apiece.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and share your experiences! 👍
I had a ton of problems with delta model moultrie. Eats batteries if you don't have a strong cell signal. In 1 week my lithium batteries were dead. I had the cameras replaced more than once.
Really a great video I appreciate it. So I have a little bit different situation. I have cameras that my neighbors hacked into my Wi-Fi and shine lights into my cameras and destroyed them with a laser light. Now I want to use game cams as video cams to catch them because they won't be able to see these. I know this video was a year old but I was wondering if you could tell me what would be the best game cam to go with for very, very clear pictures in the day and the night, please? Thank you in advance and awesome video. Subscribed and liked.@@HuntingFarmerOfficial
Great video. Thanks for all your work. I tried a borrowed Spypoint Flex against my Tactacam Reveal XPro before I invested in more cams. As far as photo motion quality between the two at night, the Tactacam had photo motion blur, whereas the Spypoint was much more clear. Otherwise, the still picture quality, both day and night, of the two was pretty close. I went with all Tactacam X Pros because Tactacam has great customer service and Spypoint, from my research- not so much.
This is an excellent analysis. I even saved your video. I plan to buy your first and second pic. Thank you! BTW, Consumer Reports needs to hire you.
Thank you for taking your time to make this video and to share it with others to help make their decision on what to buy. I will be making a purchase as a gift for my husband.
That had to be the most precise review ever made on trail cameras my friend!! Great job helping everyone know the facts!! I was pretty sure the Spypoint Flex was your favorite! Good luck with everything!!
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
Thanks a bunch for doing this. Saves me a headache from buying a crappy one and also hours and hours of research. You the man!
There is no better trail camera video anywhere! Keep it up Thankyou for taking your time and actually making an effort for everyone’s information!
I appreciate you watching and for the encouragement 👍
Thank you. I'm picking a Father's day gift for my dad, and this was incredibly helpful!
I appreciate you watching. Thank you 👍
I've given up on brand name trail cameras since discovering the GardePro E5. I don't plan on using cellular trail cameras myself, but I would be curious how the GardePro cellular trail camera would stack up against the rest. It's sort of a new offering for them. I really appreciate the effort you put into your reviews. You're the Project Farm of trail camera testing! His reviews of other things are awesome, too! Thank you!
I appreciate you watching and for the encouragement. The Gardepro cellular cam is on my radar 😁👍
Wow I didn't know anyone else was using the GardePro. I love mine. I have many. I wasn't aware they even had a cell cam. Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna have to check it out. I love that the regular card cameras allow for pics and videos at the same time.
I have a GardePro E6 Wi-Fi camera in my yard and I love it so far
I thought about Project Farm too. Very informative and non bias sounding. Kudos driftlesshunter9200 and for this video by Hunting Farmer.
Thanks for the video .I have about 20 SPYPOINT now none over 2 years old and we have updated and updated and updated and about half of them worked for another month or 2 I have used tactacam now for 2 years and all still work with no issues (yet ) so my pic along with my 3 sons and brother n law is by far tactacam
I appreciate you watching and sharing your experiences 👍
Thanks Dave, this 5 way review helped me to decide which camera best suit me.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
I have used SPYPOINTs for several years and I haven’t had any issues as long as you have service. Love the video.
I appreciate you watching 👍
Great video! One thing I have found with the Tactacam cameras when compared to others is that if you run several cams, the plans are more economical because of how they count number of images. The number is cumulative for all your cameras. Others seem to count by each camera and you can end up with a lot of unused photos in your plan each month.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts/experience on Tactacam 👍
Thanks Dave, I only latched onto your UA-cam channel a couple of days ago, right after I purchased my SpyPoint Flex M camera. I am happy that I made the right choice. Keep up the great videos.
Good thorough review Dave! Personally, I don’t trust the Spypoint brand. They have been known for years now for firmware update issues and continuous problems.
Thanks for watching Kyle. I believe many people feel that way. I’ve heard some real horror stories (especially with the customer service) 🙁
I’ve owned 2 cellular spy points with the solar panels, and 0 issues with them.
Customer service with spypoint is terrible and I have had the update issues also
@@curtishyde2 sorry to hear that, if I ever have that issue it will definitely lead me away from them
That’s why I left spy point,always having updates mid stream..they did have a very strong sensor..I wish the delta base had been in this test bc it is a way better representative of Moultrie,even the images and videos I get are better with it than the edge and it’s supposed to be 9 less megapixels???idk..also
Didn’t like the flip up antannae on the edge bc seems it is begging to be broken,
Great work! Very thorough and I will be using this as the definitive guide to buying.
Used them all, Tactacam by far the best
Thank you for taking the time to do all that testing!!!!!!! It was very helpful, I am about to invest quite a bit into more cell cams and was very unsure if i wanted to take the chance of switching from Spypoint.Ii have had issues with my Spypoint LM2 cameras on restart from loss of power but their costumer service is great and is always able to resolve my issues. Again THANK YOU for all the work you put into that!!!!!! I believe you saved me a lot of money!!!!!!!!
Hi Dave, for us elk hunters, it's video where it's important. Might I suggest a second round of of the 30,60.90 ft tests, but strictly for video this time? Most manufacturers say their video triggers are slower, and this would be a good way to find out.
Also, I have first gen reveal, and received a Moultrie second gen Delta for Chrismas. While the reveal has an adjustable video length, it was a major disappointment to find out the Delta will only record 15 second videos. If an elk is in a Wallow, you want max length on the videos. If you could detail the video length capabilities of each camera, that would be most useful. Thank you.
I appreciate you watching and for the suggestions 👍
Great job! I have 4 Spypoint cams and like them a lot. They work and all of them while different models they are all the Solar type, and the Bat life is fantastic. Thanks for the video.
I appreciate you watching 👍
Very cool test setup Dave! I like that you compared "like" cameras! I was surprised at the trigger speed of the Tactacam...almost too fast. But maybe a good speed for video mode. Very clever with the cones to measure day and night camera activation. I really like your look at battery life. There are so many variables when it comes to battery life...but you took most of them out. Cool! Great video Dave!!
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment Dave 👍
Thank you very much for making this video!! I appreciate you appreciating at the end!! Great work!! It is truly appreciated.
It’s great to see so many cameras being compared against each other in one video! It’s great to hear what your number one is - we might have to try one of those out for our trail camera videos!
Thanks for watching! Cell cams have their benefits but come at a price
Thank you for this! For years all I used was Moultrie, and my camera died. I purchased another moultrie that lasted 5 days and drained 24 batteries, a moultrie solar panel, and only took 6 solid black photos, swapped it under warranty with another that made it just under a yr and died. Swapped it out again under warranty with the next level up version at the time and it lasted almost to the end of the 2yr warranty and died so I just returned it and got my money back. I purchased a Tactacam last yr and so far I still like it. I do miss the widescreen from the moultrie though because I get a lot of empty pics when deer are at the edge of the screen like the sensor range is wider than the camera lens.
Spypoint are by far the worst in my opinion, slow to respond, there is a glitch with their unlimited photos that “expires” and support was by far the worst. They offered to replace the camera with one half its value which still did not resolve the unlimited photo glitch. Being out of excuses we are constantly disconnected forcing us to wait over an hour each time to get through. Will NEVER buy from them again. Bushnell has been fantastic, and looking forward to trying one of the Tacticam.
@Yettiattack If it helps any I switched to SpartanCam and have had FANTASTIC customer support. Spypoint will never get another dime from me.
You think Spypoint is "..by far the worst"? Are you on crack? Every single review of Spypoint I've ever read has been positive. You must be a disgruntled employee
I really like this UA-cam of your comparison of cell cams. I've gotten some poor trail cams and am looking at investing in a cell cam option. I liked the common sense approach man. Thanks! 😊
Moultrie had alot of issues with the original delta but the new delta base and edge models have been pretty reliable I ran 4 edge and 15 of base for last 6 months not many issues. Honestly I don't think any cell cams are without issues if you get a big sample size
Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts and experience. I agree any electronic is prone to problems
I'm glad to have read this comment, I just ordered the Edge along with the Herd 360 1025 solar panel. So hoping no issues 😳
The Moutrie pro edge 2 is a game changer in my opinion. Live aim, on demand photos and videos, smart zones, no glow. I have many of them and have had zero issues. Problem is I need like 5 more
Great comparison video ! I use Reveal X-Pro's on our hunting property and have "zero" issues.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your experience 👍
Dave, your trail cam reviews are on another level. Great job on this one. Definitely gave me some things to think about before I do another review. Keep up the great work.
I appreciate your support and encouragement! It’s usually good to strive for improvement. Makes me think of Colossians 3:23 😁👍
Thanks for all your hard work in reviewing all the cameras you have done. It has definitely narrowed down my search.
Great work and effort put into this review! I would add that you mentioned customer support for the moultrie cam out of necessary use. Out of experience SPYPOINT has horrible customer support. I’d be curious about the other brands customer support as well. Thank you
Thanks for watching. I’ve heard many bad experiences with Spypoint customer service. The only other camera I dealt with during this video was Tactacam. You may have noticed the date/time were not synced on the Tactacam. Customer service helped figure it out. And I can’t say enough how good they were 👍
Spy point tech support sux!
They're borderline criminal.
Great cameras when they work, but God help you if you have to deal with tech support.
This is the most detailed trail cam comparison and review I've seen online. Great work HuntingFarmer!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and for the encouragement 👍
Great job providing all that information Dave! Might be your best review yet and that says a lot because they are all really good. Great job buddy. Hopefully I’ll add a cellular trail camera sometime here in the future and I think you narrowed down pretty well for me. ✅ ✅ ✅
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
That video was excellent. Our place is about 100 miles from where I live. Cellular service is sketchy at best. This narrows it down for us. I wasn’t looking to experiment. Thank you for allowing me to narrow the prospects/suspects.
I appreciate you watching! 👍
Glad to hear you’re top pick my spy point flex just showed up today
Thought you did a great job on the review. I have been using Moultrie cams for a long time. I have some old ones that are still working and I have some newer ones that are nothing but a problem. I am ready for a change. So am looking to change manufacturers on a couple of cell phone cams. Your video has helped guide me on my next purchase. Many thanks.
Great video, I've been running six moultrie edge camera this year. Replaced my old moultrie camera and modem system, got to say I've had very little problem with them. I had one them early on would turn on connect take a couple pictures and need a battery change. I was not using using the recommended energizers batteries. I decided to use energizers in this camera and it is still running strong at 70% since the battery change in mid October its now January 10 and has taken hundreds of pictures. Thanks great review.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and sharing your experience 👍
Yeah I love my moultrie
Really liked your comments I’ve gone through a lot of cameras and never saw the results that you were getting I appreciate what you’ve done
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
Damn bro! Thanks for the review , I can only imagine how much work went into this one video alone … thanks again , I greatly
Appreciate it
Thanks for the very complete review! Obviously, you spent considerable time... well appreciated! Thanks.
Great review, thank you. I have 10 spypoint Flex and have lots of trouble, customer service is poor as you have to wait over an hour or more on average to get help. I have had 4 of the 10 units replaced. We are now selling the bunch and probably will go with the Tatacam per this video
I appreciate you watching and for sharing your experience 👍
I’m having the same problem with the Moultrie, I think I’m making the switch to spy point! Thank you for the reviews! Wish I use watched sooner.
I appreciate you leaving the price and the plans at the beginning I didn’t always see that in many videos.
Thanks for watching and for the encouragement 👍
Amazing ! Your survey just helped a ton of guys trying to make decisions on their next cell cam purchase . Good job . Thank you .
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the encouragement 👍
I bought the bushnell a few months ago for this season as my first ever cellular camera because a friend referred it to me. I did not watch any video like this before buying. It’s not a bad camera but I do have some of the same complaints as you said, with slow trigger speed as my biggest complaint. I wasn’t a fan of the battery lock either, and I don’t use it for video but maybe one day I would like to and obviously this is the worst camera in your review for video. Although that tactacam is the most expensive I do believe most times you get what you pay for. So maybe in my future hunting seasons I will switch to that brand. I also wanted to say that you did a great job on this review, best cellcam review video I’ve seen, and I think you compared them all fairly. Thanks!
I appreciate you watching and sharing your experience.
The Moultrie micro 42 brought me here never bought a cell trail cam but after watching this review all the smoke cleared now we know what is best. Thanks Bro!
This was an excellent learning experience. Thank you for taking the time and producing this fine video.
Dear sir, thanks for taking all the time you did in making and comparing these trail cams. This is a very confusing subject to be sure and the average person isn't going to buy all these cameras, much less run around thru cones testing them! Thank you!
Thank’s for the reviews! My favorite one is by far tactacam! Where i live, she is the only one who send us pictures ! No Cell phone signal but thi one works anyway! Boly is my second choice but we had too much issue with Spy point to get some…. Hunt nuh brand gonna be my next try!
Awesome video! Just Bought a Tactacam reveal xpro. Very happy with it. I live in Ontario canada and have heard a lot of people having problems with the spypoint camera’s not sending photos. And poor customer support.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts and experience 👍
Thanks for making the video. You made it easy for us to make a decision on which trail cam to buy.
I now have 12 Spypoint cell cameras. 4 Dark, 4Micro, 4 Flex. I use them all for off grid security. Yes sending pics to the server takes some time and I'm barley getting a signal 25/50% as I'm not close to any towers. I have been using Spypoint cameras for over 5 years now and I'm a Spypoint insider member. I swap out most of my cameras so I never have to pay anything just the 90.00 for the membership. They have all worked flawlessly and I have a few on external solar power/Winghome and new Spypoint 15000mha, which are working great. I love the HD photos as I can now make out license plates and people faces so much better now as my gate cameras are up high and a good distance from the gate. ...... Nova Scotia Canada. Thanks for the video.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your extensive experience. It’s helpful 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial This is one of the best channels on Utube...
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Spypoint is going to have a FLEX solar cellular camera coming out this summer...
Excellent video. Thanks for all your effort. I have 4 of the Moultrie Edge cameras and experience the same issues you did. Sitting in my stand, i watched a doe and two yearlings feed around for about three hours, right in front of my cameras, and never got a single picture. Makes me wonder what else i have been missing.
Jerry Overcash , N.C.
I recently purchased a spy point flex. i am still learning to use all its features. You are right,it takes great photos and videos and is slow to send. I wait hours for them sometimes, and signal states it has 90% . It is the first cellular cam i have owned. I am sure i will work out the bugs. I like it, but a little disappointed in it at the same time. Some of the other guys at the hunting club use cell cams. What brands I do not know, but they get the photos reasonably quick. Like i said maybe i need to work out the bugs. Great job you did on covering these different cell cams. It really helped me a lot being that I am just starting to use them, thanks.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment! Hopefully you’ll get the knack of your new cam relatively quick 👍
Great video. I run serval Moultries and have some issues with the original Deltas. BUT, the customer services was amazing and they sent me new Edges to replace the old ones. They shipped them the day I had the old ones dropped off at UPS and I got them in less than 5 days!
As for the failed distance test, not sure what happened. I can tell you that you can set the motion detection sensitivity and the ones I run on HIGH have captured movement at well over 100 feet.
As for batteries, mine have been running 2 months and are still above 80%... Setting matter of course.
Good review great job. The one thing I’d consider along side your very thorough parameters is customer service. Spypoint’s customer service is terrible and I mean absolutely horrible. A quick check on line will show that I’m not the only person that feels this way. I’ve spent hours trying to trouble shoot a Spypoint micro link. I was hung up on several times and had to start From the beginning with each new service rep. After many hours I was given 10% off on a new camera but only if I ordered then and there on the phone. I bought a s flex but when this goes bad I won’t ever buy another Spypoint
Hi Dave…
It’s been a long time..and while I was surfing utube there you are commenting on my favorite trail camera among others.. Actually I own the Tactacam Reveal xb and love it .. The farm? Where I hunt is 13 miles away from my house and to be eating supper and have your cell phone go ding ding is something really special.. Like you said it’s a matter of personal choice.. The xb is discontinued with the reveal x 2.0 replacing it ..
A couple of things I’d like to discuss.. On the SD card .. it definitely should be formatted before use ..I had the Tactacam sd card and noticed that the storage capacity had saturated at 2000 pictures even though the specs said 4-5 K.. I bought a san disc extreme and it is great.. You need a speed of 10.. You can format the sd card in the camera , but you have to be 3/5 feet away from the camera and not from home .. On the audio quality..I’m going to call Tactacam and look into a Lavalier Cord or wireless mic for better audio quality..Being a professional photographer I understand you appreciating wide view aspect viewing, but I think Tactacam’s approach to a square compression format will result in better picture quality What do you think .. This was one excellent presentation on your behalf ..You saved the best until last ….. ps-With my crossbow,, I harvested a ten point ,,, 170 # whitetail 🦌 deer in November.2022
Thanks for watching! Congrats on your buck Robert! I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience/thoughts 👍
I have 2 tactacam revel 2.0, I love them! Easy to use and I get pictures right away. I put their solar panels on both and use no batteries and the cost for both cameras on unlimited pictures is $25 a month. The solar panel is only $59 dollars and works great. I got mine on sale for $119 at Bass pro. Nice reviews 👌
I appreciate you watching and sharing your experience. Thank you 👍
A great comparison! Thanks for taking all the time to set these tests up and share the results.
I travel a lot for work and live out in the woods in a national forest that has a lot of cabin theft from meth heads so I’ve been looking for a while to figure out which trail cam to go with. It’s very hard to watch reviews of individual cameras by different people that often times don’t review all the same things which is frustrating.
I’m an engineer by trade so I have a very scientific way of thinking and this video literally encompassed every feature at the same time (board tests) with you as the only person giving the info which allowed me to avoid trying to differentiate between different review styles. I absolutely loved the amperage review because of the chart you had with the brands, power draw, and different tests all in one graphic.
This is the best review I’ve seen yet, thank you for helping me make my decision!
This is my only 1 of two cons but it’s not much but using the same cams in different spots for the videos was slightly disappointing because it lost a little bit of that scientific method you had going with the cones where everything was 100% controlled because in some of the day videos there was different light settings and in the night videos some cams had deer in both foreground and background and other camera videos only had one deer, it would of been nice to have all the cams in the same spot to compare how foreground and background deer focused - I get it, your review was to see deer and my application (home security) is to catch thieves so if a video could clearly show two thieves faces more clear that would of been more helpful to me.
One other thing would be cool to see a graphic like you did with the power where all the tests (including price) on one one graphic with the category winner highlighted green so it’s easier to see patterns.
Again, this is not a dig on you at all this video was awesome! I hope more cam companies see this and start sending you gear to review because this was second to none.
Liked and subbed and I’ll be sharing with friends! Also - nice frickin ranch man!
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and share your encouragement and suggestions. Thank you 👍
I purchased a two pack sale on the Moultrie edge cams and I have to say they are both THE worst cameras I've ever purchased. Returning them both tomorrow and getting another t-cam reveal x pro, that camera is in my opinion amazing. I left my X pro out all off season and went to grab it and put new batteries in it to find 8t upside down hanging open and FULL of water from a tree that fell on it. I took it to the garage, air hosed it dry and could. Not. Believe.. when it turned on and is still this year out in the woods working like a champ. Figured that was worth sharing! Thanks for the vid!
I appreciate you watching and sharing your experience. I’m glad the XPrp survived its bath 😁👍
I was pretty sure those were pa mountains behind you that's awesome thanks for the reviews and thanks to all the farmers out there
I appreciate you watching! You got it, I’m in PA 👍
Excellent job! And perfect timing for me since I'm needing to purchase one of these for security reasons. Thank you for taking the time to do this review.
I appreciate you watching 👍
Dave it was a great review. I gained alot of knowledge from your comparison of theses cam. I have been bouncing around with 3 of yours and your review gave me the warm and fuzzies to be secure in my selection. Thanks Dave it so hard to get honest reviews especially from manufacturers
Great videos. I have 2 moultrie deltas I couldn't give away. Same problems you had. Even after replacing them. I think its important to talk about night photos. If using no glow IR of low glow. Low glow using less amps and great photos. But can spook animals
I appreciate you watching and sharing your experience and your suggestion 👍
Dave, great video and great editing. Appreciated the work you put into it.
Great job on the test. Tactacam setting of only xfering 1 pic, so that might be the reason it's sending notification first.
Thanks for watching! That’s a great observation on the original test I showed. Later in the video when I gave the exact seconds I was using a stopwatch and had every camera set to one photo. It doesn’t seem to matter (even on video mode the Tactacam is the quickest) 👍
Good job.
I just got the Tactacam Reveal SK which is obviously not reviewed here but first time getting a camera,,, I just wanted to check in and see what people like.
Thanks
I appreciate you watching 👍
A VERY comprehensive test, as we have come to expect from you. I shared one of your comparison videos a while back, saying that I know of nobody doing a more thorough job, and my opinion hasn't changed. That wasn't a video, it was a career!
Thank you! I appreciate your encouragement 👍
Dave - your reviews are very professional and highly organized. I have found that the TACTACAM is a better choice than Spypoint. The solar panels available for TACTACAM are a must-have. Thanks again for your through review.
I own 3 bushnells each have been running since august have taken 10k pics combined 2 cameras on second set of batteries one on its third. Cameras have run flawless no problems what so ever. Easy set up easy app to use can’t complain with them. I’ve used moultrie in the past and they were good when the 6000 series was made camera worked great but all down hill after. I recommend Bushnell to everyone I talk to now cause they have been amazing
Thanks for taking the time to watch and share your experience 👍
Bushnel app easy to use audio isnt really needed in my opinion more components to go bad. I have 2 Core20v so far they are working good just bought the second 1 you get 30days free unlimited video or pictures and cost was cheaper at Midway Usa 49.99
This was a wonderful comparison video. Thanks for all of the work you did.
Awesome test! We need to see what the animals see when the infrared flash is initiated at night. I have the reveal x and its lights up 4 bright red alien looking eyes at night. Ive seen multiple mature bucks see it, turn and run, avoiding that area in future. Thats why I switched the the Reveal X Pro. Absolutely no infrared visible. I never see any reviews with this key demonstration. Please next test include what the night infrared flash looks like.
Great Video! I was thinking that the Spy Cam was the best! we have 4 Moulties they seem ok.. But next fall we will be looking for more..Moultrie says they have a new camera coming out this spring..
Thanks for watching. I’m excited about the new Moultrie. It has a brand new feature that I’m excited to test 😁👍
Great review! Have both Tactacam and SPYPOINT. Your review is spot on! Use Tacticam as security cam and the SPYPOINT for my trails.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it 👍
Great Review!! Made it through the whole review easily!! Very easy to watch and entertaining and informatiive!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it 👍
Great video!! I have a spypoint camera and a moultire and have seen both fail to take pictures when deer, wildlife or myself walk in front of them.
That’s frustrating. Have you tried increasing the PIR sensitivity?
I did try that and then end up getting a lot of pictures due to the wind blowing things.
I see moultrie has the Edge Pro, any thoughts of comparing that to a similar camera?
I agree with your assessment of the SpyPoint Flex. I have one and will definitely buy more. I also have a few older Browning Strike Force cameras which are great but dated technology. I have one SpyPoint Link-Micro-S-LTE but it's not my favorite. Thanks for your video.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your experiences 👍
Great Video! Thanx for taking the time to help us all out!
FYI Pulled out my Spypoint link evo and it no longer transmits due to cell service upgraded to 5g
great review much appreciated
WOW! This was a great video. Just what i needed. You really spent a lot of time getting us all these details. THX!
Very well done and technical enough to use in purchase decisions.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the encouragement 👍
Great reviews. I purchased the Moultrie and had it replaced three different times. Each time it worked on setup and then stopped taking pictures. Customer service was good but I would not recommend the Moutrie as I finally gave up after hours of time on the phone with many ideas as to what the issue was but issues were never resolved. Finally went to the local store and bought a Bushnell with no issues.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your experience and thoughts 👍
Awesome job.... one of the cons is not being able to replace the antenna or upgrading the antenna. In deep woods it can be hard to get 4-5g signal. For clearer nightime video consider a 12v spot illuminator mounted near the camera.
I appreciate you watching and for your input and ideas 👍
Great job very thorough review. From as well as the camera's work to the monthly plans and pricing.😂
Thank you for your time and dedication and the best video Dave. I've been wanting cam for a while now, and you are a great help. Thank you.
Video was awesome and it confirms that the spy point flex which I purchased was your number one pick I really enjoy mine. I bought two more. I will get one of the tacticCam for security, because of the speed of its sending the notification and the picture. Keep up the good work it’s awesome. I did buy the solar with my flex so I don’t have to change batteries. It’s really nice Joe.
I appreciate you watching and for the encouragement 👍
Thanks for your effort, all my cameras are all 10+ years old and need upgrading this will help.
Sincerely,
Shane J.W.
What a fantastic review of these cameras, I know it was a year ago but I've just bought the spypoint and was looking around for reviews to see if the one I bought was good and came across your video, loved it thanks.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it. Enjoy your new cam 👍
I can tell you exactly why some cameras may have failed during your test so you can take it into consideration for future comparisons. When multiple cameras are activated and mounted this close to each other they will interfere with each others ability to communicate. It would not be any cameras fault it is simply the electrical interference produced by the cameras around it. There are other tests you can do as well like activate a camera and test to prove it works just fine. Then place that camera directly next to a computer monitor or some other device that puts out a strong electrical signal and you will see it will often no longer be able to transmit so you will not get a notification. I have seen cases where placing a camera next to my monitor that my screen on the monitor starts to go a little crazy. Keep up the good work though.
That’s good information. Thanks for watching and sharing your input 👍
One of the best tests of cell trail cams. It was really well done and to the point. Easy to understand and great points were made!
I appreciate you watching and for the encouragement 👍
I appreciate all your work on the cameras. I have 1 reveal, and 2 spypoints as of now.
I appreciate you watching 👍
