Spypoint cellular game cameras

Can anyone walk me through how these work? and also give me some reviews? I'm thinking about buying one as a gift for a family member who recently saw some trespassers on his game cams.
From what I gather, you buy the camera, download an app, set it up, and wait for pictures. What I'm curious about is how the billing works. I'm assuming it doesn't have anything to do with your cell phone plan, you are actually paying spypoint directly? If that's the case, I think I'd probably buy him the camera and a year of unlimited pictures.

I think I went through 3 last season. They kept failing and acting up. They are the cheapest though. You're paying spypoint monthly for the plan.

I just bought one last month. I bought the LTE version with a solar panel to charge the lithium battery. It has one button, on/off. You download the spypoint app on your phone, when you unbox it you open the camera and scan the QR code inside, just like setting up amazon blink cameras if you are familiar. That registers the camera to your account.
I put mine out on our lease in Texas, about 7 hours from home. When I turned it on it blinked red indicating no signal (orange is weak and green is good signal). I figured what the hell, I’d leave it and see if it could get a signal eventually and if not it has an onboard 32gb micro sd card. About two hours later, on the drive home, I get my first photos in on the app. Since then it has worked like a damn champ, I get between 30-75 pictures a day.
The resolution is good but not great, to get hd quality you have to buy a set of hd photos, 50 for $5. So I usually only get hd photos of shooter bucks, so far works fine. They give you unlimited photos for the first month, you have to go on a paid plan after that or they throttle you to 100 pictures/month for free. It’s easily worth it in my opinion if you are hunting high traffic areas. If you admire hunting a lower traffic spot 100 a month might be fine. My son gets excited when he hears the pictures start rolling in every evening.
I have had zero problems, very pleased and will be buying more.

I have two of them. The link micro’s. The pictures are good they just go through batteries.

I have 5, you buy plans for pics 1K pics per month is $10 per month, we only have Verizon service in our area so I got the LTE version. As stated earlier you get 100 pics per month for free, the trigger is VERY sensitive so you will blow through that in a week

Agree. They go through batteries. From >95% battery life to off with disposable lithium batteries.
Also trigger is sensitive but you can adjust that.
Unlimited Plan is the best bet from October through Jan. That’s where they get you. Can get expensive.

I hunt in Brookhaven. Which one should I get LTE or VZN?

So far so good with my 2 cheap spypoints. Been having them out for 8 months straight. Yes they eat batteries. Will get solar/rechargeable batteries soon.
