Wireless?

I have the new Covert Code Black and have not been happy with it. My main problem is the battery life. It goes dead after about a week and a half in the field. I did find out it had a firmware update that needed to be done that is suppose to help with the battery issue. If that doesn't work I will be sending it back.
 
^^^^^ - was that the image that was sent to your phone/email (transmitted by camera), or was that the original image that was written to SD card (typically better quality)? If sent to your phone/email, that quality is top notch.

That was not the image sent to my phone although the original wasn't bad either. Here is an image as it is downloaded from the camera.

I think wireless is the future in trail cams.

Agreed...I hear more and more people talking about it. They have a 1 minute delay from what I hear and consider the advantage if some steals the camera...good chance you'll get their picture.

My buddies and I bought 9 of the Covert Black Ops last year and haven't been that pleased with them at all. You can walk in front of the camera and it'll take your picture sometimes. Battery life on some are not very good as well.
One of the guys that had the Covert read the reviews in the HCO Spartans and the reviews were very good on them. He bought 2 of the Spartans and has used them here and in Kansas. Everytime you walk in front of them it'll take your picture! He is very happy with them. Can't always say that about the Coverts. After season I'll be selling my 2 Coverts and getting Spartans!

Has anyone tried Moultree's that you can add to their cameras?

I have one of the Moultrie Modems they came out with. For the most part they do really well. All hours of the day they take and send pictures. Only issue I've had lately is I may not get the picture til several hours later. With the Moultrie you can change all of your camera settings and such from your iPhone. Mine is set up where I get a text saying I have a new image. Then you have to open the ap to view it. Not like a regular cell camera where the picture is sent by text. Another downside of it is the modem connects to the camera by about an 18" USB cable. So you have 2 devices strapped to the tree. I usually put one on one side and the other on the other side if the cable allows it too. All in all it's not a bad set up and it sends way more pictures then my Covert's do. No comparison actually! I'd go with the Moultrie Modem before I will a Covert again. But my 1st pick is the Spartan!
 
I use Covert Blackhawk. I have two. Verizon 15.99/ month. Excellent pics. Very handy to get the pics with no delays in pulling cards
 
I just bought a Bushnell Aggressor Wireless. So far, I'm happy with the service I'm getting compared to a 2 year old covert one. Verizon has the best service in my area, but I'm impressed with the AT&T Bushnell Aggressor Wireless. I haven't used it in the field yet, but the app works well with it. Very user friendly and takes good photos. Go to trailcampro.com to look at reviews for all the cameras.
