I need new cellular game cams. Ive been running the coverts for a couple years and they are slowly starting to play out. What is everyone running and how do you like them? I would like to stay under $400 per unit.


Also, Im intrigued by the cuddebacks that connect to each other and can just check one. They would work well at my house for ease of checking. Anybody use them?

I get cell coverage across my lease in varying degrees, but I can't get cell cameras to work on 100% of the place. Cell cameras I have used:

Spartan HC cameras
$400
Monthly fee to Spartan
3 month plan with ATT - $25
Pro: works great, has a great app and website, easy to use, long battery like (3 months). Also it survived being submerged in a flood for 2 days.
Con: cell coverage needs to be at least 3 bars, have to pay Spartan to use all the features such as remote change of settings, expensive

Synper Commander 3G
$220-$250
3 month plan with ATT - $25
Pro: cheaper, works at 1 bar or less of signal
Con: setup wasnt super easy, app isnt the best, can only text to 1 number and rest of hunters use app, night photos just average.

All in all my next wireless camera would be the Synper. They came out with a Commander 4G ($320) that has 14x signal strength that I would like to check out.

Cell cameras are fun but a lot of time they don't send 100% of every picture they take. Unless you have great cell coverage at your place, you may experience issues with any camera sending pictures.

I have a Covert Code Black, and it has been up and down over the years. When it works, it works great. When they moved to an app, it was a LOT better than the texts. Lately, it has stopped sending pics to the app thought. Spent some time with customer service last week, and it has been working fine since.

I'm looking to buy another, not sure if I want the 2018 LTE Covert or move over to Cuddeback. Our property is about an hour and 20 mins away, so cell cameras have been a wonderful tool for us.

The new cellular Stealth Cams are really nice and they work with Verizon and AT&T. Typically the cameras will use one or the other. They have a super fast trigger speed and the clarity of the photos was surprisingly good. Also, Stealth Cams customer service is killer. I have called a number of times since getting my cellular cameras and they are always helpful and patient. They have an app that the pictures are sent to.

I would go to trailcampro.com and review all of the cameras and then make a decision.
