I bought two SPYPOINT cameras this year my first cell cams and they suck im not impressed at all what are you guys using
 
I have a few spy points too and for what they are at $99 I think they are pretty cool. What is it that you don't like? Anythings other than the actual picture quality? Cuz yeah that kinda sucks. I have a few Bigfoot cell cams that have been absolutely awesome. And the cool part is you can select the pic quality that is sent to your phone. Obviously the higher quality pic the more data it uses, but I still find it very affordable. Also they are an American owned company with American based customer service. pretty cool. here's a few example pics from day and night. These are the actual pics sent to my phone, not the SD card pics. I've had these cams for 2 years now and still work great. they are running off old 3G cell service too and never seem to miss a beat.

For the price it very hard to beat tactacam. I have 13 going right now. They have been impressive for $99 and $12 a month for unlimited. I can only speak of older covert cells and moultrie mobile. Coverts were good but at the time had to go to att store and plans were outrageous. Moultrie app sucks crashes all the time and newer cameras can't stand rain. Every newer moultrie camera I've had has water in it. Some keep on working most didn't.
 
I have been running 3 SPYPOINT link dark's for 2 years now and have had very good luck with them. For non-cell cams, browning strike force all the way. FYI, I run these cameras from August to May.
 
I use some Spartan GoCams and a Tactacam. Hard to beat the tactacam for the money but the Spartan is the better one. Better features on the Spartan and it's black flash rather than red glow. You can buy 3 Tactacams for the price of 1 Spartan though. Today, Spartan does have a sale going on to save alittle $ if you get your order in the first 200 orders.
 
I have 3 Spypoints.
Pros: During the off season I can change to the free plan and they don't cost me money, decent performance for a $99 camera, app is decent, great customer service when I've needed them.
Cons: Website is not as good as Moultrie.

I also have 2 Moultries.
Pros: They last forever on 12 AA batteries, take great pics, I like their website.
Cons: Their app sucks and crashes all the time, I haven't had a notification in weeks even though my settings are correct, there's no free plan during the off season so they cost you money year round.

Probably going to try Bigfoot next.
 
Have four (not mine) Spypoint Micro-links on my place and image quality really sucks. Plus, only place we can use them is ridge-top food plots because of poor cell signal in other areas, especially off the ridge-tops.

I have 5 of the spypoints, I agree the image quality is bad unless you pay for the HD package, worth it IMO. I'm really liking the tactacam reveals, they are very user friendly, take great pics and they get better cell reception than my iPhone. They are rare as hens teeth at the moment. I bought 4 about a month ago but now I can't find them in stock anywhere.

I'm needing one for watching some back property. Been getting some unauthorized use lately

Would like a cell camera. I'm guessing the off season y'all mentioned is after deer season closes? I need it year round
 
FYI.......Tactacam Reveal has been discontinued and a new model is coming out in May IF Covid leaves the company alone so their employees can get the camera into production. I got this in an email from the company.
