I bought 9 Muddy mitigators in August. While they have worked pretty good I have had 3 go bad. Also, saw a doe pass within 15 feet of a camera while hunting and it did not trigger a pic. Give me your thoughts on what direction to go in. I would like to stay south of $150/camera.

I realize spy point has the worst reputation. But over the past year, my link-micro has been great. I think they are $60-$70ish in stores.

We’re up to 17 Tactacam reveals and a no issues. They just work, and the app is good.

Yeah, not even thinking about another brand, here. Got almost 20 tactacams running, and half are first generation, think 4-5 years old, so unless there’s something proven better , at a lower cost basis, not changing…

We have run them all and finally settled on Tactacam.

Spypoints are complete garbage.

Anyone try BlackGate. I am leaning Tactacam but really don't want to make a rash decision as getting Muddy customer service has been like a black hole.

I have 4 covert black lte cameras. I have had one for almost 5 years that still works fine. Not the cheapest but they work.

Started swapping from Tactacam to Wiseeyes this yr. Wiseeyes pics are head and shoulders above Tactacams.

Tactacam for me. Had Moultrie and the cameras worked good but kept having issues with the app.

Hah - I bought 7 Bushnell cellucore cameras before the season for $40 a piece - thinking they would be trash.

They actually all worked great and the app was very user friendly. I like them.

I had problems with the ones that had the solar panel built in on top. After a couple of years they quit working but I was able to get them working again after buying a Tacacam solar panel with battery pack.

I’m pretty sure it’s the battery packs that went bad in them.

I’ve only used wise eye. They are great and take great pictures. I plan to add a few more the next time they have a sale.

Have 3 WiseEye cameras. Unbelievable picture quality and an easy to use app.

I got a Tactacam Reveal for Christmas. It has done great so far. Going to transition my two Coverts to Reveals when I can.

I have both SPYPOINTs and Tactacams. The tactacams are significantly better

Do any of yall connect the cameras to the HuntStand app for community use? It has to be a Command Pro account I believe.
