What’s the best brand? I guess signal matters most?

Maybe cuddeback or covert. I have spypoint and Moultrie. The spypoints don't take the best pics and sometimes service is spotty. Moultrie always connects, service pricey but I have to keep sending cameras back bc of night flash not working.

Cuddeback has been good for me so far. Simple, can daisy chain and just one monthly charge for all cams on the same daisy chain.

I have 2 of the cheap Spypoint Micros. 1 has worked flawlessly for 3 months and the other quit taking pics after a few days. I just picked it up today for the woods and will be returning to academy this week.

I have been happy with my Bigfoot cameras I found on Amazon. Much cheaper than others but still reliable and get pics over text or email.

Cuddeback is only Verizon now I think, they wouldn't work well at da hammer's new lease. He tried spartan and spy point, I'm sure he will chime in.

SPYPOINT is an option but they don’t seem to consistently work. I’ll get pictures for 2-3 days and then it just quits. The only fix is to restart the camera which isn’t practical.

Cuddelink seems like a great option but only available on Verizon for now so not a great option where my place is I’ll try it when it’s Att.

Started using a couple spartan cameras over the last week after a LOT of research. They seem to work extremely well I have been VERY IMPRESSED so far

Had two Spypoint Micro's I sent back to Amazon. One never worked at night from straight out of the box. Pictures were pretty underwhelming as well.

I also have some micros. They have been giving me problems after about a month. I’m about to return them too.

had bushnell trophy cam HD aggressor cam and it never aquired the gps coordinates of its location. Showed the factory location it was built in.

Returned it and got the new version called the impulse. App never communicated with the camera well. Never knew if settings were changed and the sensitivity was way too high. Support told me to wait till an update they was working on. Returned that one.

Just bought the spypoint link dark. So far so good.

We’ve had good luck with Snyper. $10/mo per cam with AT&T. The cameras we did have issues with I mailed back and they sent me brand new replacements pretty quickly.

I have 3 Covert LTE AT&T Code blacks and they are pretty good. Do not buy the new Covert E1. It sucks arse.

My lease also has three Covert LTE ATT Code Blacks. I've only had access to them the last two weeks or so, but I've been impressed.

I've had several Spypoints---they are good when they work but they are not reliable at all.

They launched a cheaper cellular camera that has become very popular. So much so that the wait to talk to customer service is over an hour. I'd avoid like the plague until they get their stuff together.

I have 5 Spypoint Micros with absolutely zero issues. I downloaded the newest firmware to each camera before I set them out and have been very pleased with the performance especially for the price. I have one in Missouri and 4 in Mississippi all with Verizon service. All of the cameras have at least 2 bars of service. A friend of mine had issues with his but had spotty cell service.
