Thoughts? Looking to by a few cell cams and looking for something with longevity with as few hiccups as possible.
 
Kids got me one for Christmas a couple years ago. It was the RevealX2.0 I think??? Seemed great at first but in hindsight just sent enough pics to make me think it was working.

It was set up over a plot. And it did send pics but not nearly enough to coincide with the browse pressure the plot was showing, so I set up an SD cams next to it and the difference was astounding. Last time I was there I stood in front of it waving my arms and doing jumping jacks. It didn't take my pic once. So all that time I'm left wondering what has it missed?

I don't know if mine just sucks or what because it's the only cell cam I've had, or will have. I'll continue with my SD cams.

Its true these cameras miss a lot. They capture a lot too. I can't figure it out. I will have a buck coming straight in from 100 yards and I will only get one picture. Quality sucks too hard to tell a rack on a buck if its over 20 yards from camera. I hate it because I am fully vested in them. Customer service is great too.

If you ever put one close to a stand where you are hunting, it is amazing how many animals they miss. You don't know what they miss until you are observing it first hand. It is eye opening.

Yep watched 6 gobblers feed right by mine while I was in the stand and nada...
 
All these comments are 💯 percent right.
My daytime pictures aren't that great.
I also added solar panels and battery packs to mine. But when they go out I will replace them with something else.
 
I use two cell cameras on my place, but I also have a dozen traditional cameras. I use the cell cameras to give me an idea on movement when I'm not on the property. I also think there is a lot of "misses" based on the pictures I get on my traditional cameras.
BTW, one is a Tactacam and the other is Browning. When it comes time to replace, I'm not sure I would go with either.
