Two years ago I purchased a Spypoint Link Evo-V.
They made two kinds then an ATT and Verizon networked unit.
I also bought the long range antenna and the 12volt battery harness.
The first camera worked great for a month then just stopped transmitting. They have a website where you can download firmware and updates and even copy and paste your SD card data and send it in to them for review. After exhausting all options they issued an RMA and I returned the device.
Two months later and after twenty emails my second camera arrived. Another Link-EVO V. This camera worked until the spring of 2020 when it just died. Three months later this June they sent me a LINK-EVO Dark. A lot better camera.
Meanwhile My hunting buddy is now on his 2nd link micro unit that just stopped transmitting out of the blue. You have to have a class 10 SDm under 32g for the unit to function. He's waiting for #3.
Meanwhile they forced an app upgrade that has a bunch of crap on it nobody asked for and it won't work with your pre- OS-11 ipads.
Here is the deal with French made spypoint.
Unlimited pictures sent for $110 a year.
Camera works 3 months out of a year.
My subscription just matured and I'm not renewing it.
I'm done with Parrot drones and Spypoint and anything else outside of pear brandy made in France.
I Hope my misery with Spypoint limits yours.

I've had a Snyper commander 4g for three years now. I used att for the first two years this year I'm using sim hero for the service. Pictures are good and battery life is great with the solar panel.

Just bought 2 tactacams from cabelas for $99/each. I checked different sites and the reviews seemed pretty decent.

Tactacams are on back order everywhere. Some on eBay going for $150 each

I have run cuddeback for 2 years. The cool deal with them is they daisy chain and you only need one cell plan. They work fine. If I had one gripe it would be quality isn’t great but it’s good enough. The daisy chain feature is cool but I haven’t tested the distance limitations on it yet.
Also until recently you could only get photos in email. Now they have a decent web portal to view.

This sounds exactly like my experience. Bought 2 cameras and they both just stopped working out of the blue. I am done with spypoint.

I am looking to get the cudde link system. Can you also get the photos sent to your phone with an app?
Do you have a home repeater or a dual cell for base camera?
Do your cameras have the black flash? Is it truly no flash, no nothing if you were standing in front of the camera in pitch black darkness? I ask because we want to use this system to catch trespassers as well as game animal's.

Anyone have experience with the Muddy Compact Cell camera? Looks like it is a Stealth Cam. 16mp versus 10mp on the Spy Points.

Covert has a new Camera system out that lets you connect up to 9 cameras to a single cellular hot spot. They are supposed to reach 11 yards. I am sure that is line of sight. I have 4 cameras and paying $40 per month for 6 months out of the year. Might have to look at it when I have to replace. Everything I have used from covert has been GTG.
I am using the Code black cameras now.

We have 4 Synpers and they have worked well. Some of the cheapest data plans through Sim Hero.

My understanding you can only get emails from Cuddeback. No app and potentially long delays before pictures are transmitted (5 minutes to 24 hours) are the biggest cons of the system.

I have had great luck with Stealth Cam WXA (AT&T). I keep 5-6 of them running for security in a remote location. Great battery life, near instant picture transmission, and relatively easy to use.
Conversely, the Cuddelink system sucks. Worst system out there. Does not work as advertised. The primary camera is decent, but the "linked" cameras eat batteries and are not dependable.

Been running Skypoint for 2 years. No issues. Not the best pic quality but other than that I don’t have any complaints .

whatever you do - dont buy the Browning Strikeforce celluar camera. Its a POS. The Spartan I also have is much better and reliable.

I just bought some on herd360. I’d email the guy about them to see if they are still in stock but he had a bunch when I emailed him.
