I bought my first trail cam in 2018. It was an Apeman H45. Simple, reliable, decent videos and photos but nothing to write home about. I use them for rural property security mostly to see who might be trespassing. Get some great wildlife footage too. Detection range is maybe 35 to 40 feet and sometimes triggered by sound first. Have been trying to find a good cell cam but can't settle in on something that is simple, reliable and inexpensive. So I keep buying more Apemans and flooding my zone with them. Not as good as a cell cam but I check them frequently enough and they are under $50 each. They are best value for what I need. I don't have money to waste trying cameras only to find out I cant get them to work well or have to learn how to operate many different cameras.

I run all stealth cams and have never had any problems yet. Good videos and clear pictures. 45ng, 42ng and gmax 32

I've never had much luck with stealth cams, they seem to miss alot of pics. I've found that basically any trailcam that opens up and swings out away from the battery compartment is prone to failure. Browning are the best that I've used.

You should give Stealth Cam's Reactor cellular camera a try, takes way better daytime pictures than the Fusion but I find the Fusion takes better nighttime pictures than the Reactor!

I have a couple of Covert cams that are really nice. Monthly cost for one is $10 IIRC and if you add a second cam it's only $5. I also have a couple Reveal X cams which work well and are cheaper than the Covert.
The service can be turned off for the winter/spring/summer months if you don't want to pay for doe and fawn, moving bushes, birds flying by and not getting caught by the cam etc. pictures. Spring time for turkeys is well worth it if you have enough to trigger them. And the late night pictures of raccoons will make you want to get thermal.
Also your phone company doesn't matter when buying a cam, what matters is the best signal in the area you are putting the camera in.
That camera sends the picture (or video if you have the Reolink) to the company's cloud. You then get a notification (if turned on) that your camera took a picture. You then see the picture off their cloud and not from your phone company. So when you see the cam box saying it's either Verizon or ATT, just be sure the signal where you're putting is whichever one is strongest.
When placing the camera always be sure not to put it facing sunrise or sunset. You'll get really useless pictures.

I’m pretty sure you can track tactacams. You have to check and make sure cause I’m not positive, but I thought someone told me you could track their location. You might be able to get it back if you can contact them and they can find the location

My guess is someone was doing something illegal and stole the evidence.

This last December is stopped to check a camera at a stand on public land. To find the camera and stand both gone. Then to add insult to injury when I got back to my truck someone busted out the window and stole everything in my truck including all my tags

[oldtimer]

can you call stealth cams, if your trail cam gets stolen and get them to GPS it if it come on again ???? or get them just turn it off so that it will not work for them

3:50 ...I bought a 2022 TACTACAM Reveal X Gen 2.0 + Solar Panel for $650 cad....It was stolen as well. Now I invest only in $100 trail cams

5:14...$180cad / Stealth Cam Fusion X 26 Megapixel/Sub .4 Sec Trigger Speed

I love the $100 cad, Budget brand... *GardePro* A3S Trail Camera, 48MP Pictures / 1080 to 1296p Game Video Camera with Clear 100ft No Glow Night Vision, Fast 0.1s Trigger Speed. Wifi connection.

Gotta try the Tactacam Reveals! I've got a bunch of you want to try one for the page.

[crazywisdom]

Is there a decent trail cam that captures the TIME as well ? Thanks. Great VID.

[brandonzawaski]

You should hide a airtag inside the trailcam cases so you can pay those thiefs a visit. Tip: use a 3d printer and print an oversized case, glue it all together and nobody will know you rigged it with tracking.

[michaelcurtis]

Do you have to scan the code to get the app or can you download it from the Play store? I don't have an iPhone so I can't scan code like that. Thanks.

[christophermeyer]

Can’t wait to get out east and set some trail cameras.

[pepe]

What is the distance of the motion detection?

[popescualexandru]

How does it work if I have no internet/wifi where i want to mount it ?

[nakoawarrior]

My property says stay off private property no trespassing and has two cameras on it, ....I didn't put it there or the cameras.

"best" trail camera? a stealthcam? c'mon now. there are many 'amazon' cams that are better than any other cams out there, easy. and when you factor in price, they are waaay better. the 'namebrand' cams are severely over-priced, especially when their quality hasn't really improved over the years.
and cell-cams are pretty much just a preference for one's area. lots of areas don't have coverage. then, you have to place the cam for optimal reception, instead of optimal cam location. i enjoyed my cell-cam at first, but then found it just wasn't best for deer locations. i want my cams hid, which means in the trees, under branches, etc. cell-cams do have their place, but they aren't going to be optimal for everyone.
and for a cell-cam, it would be crazy not to go with the spypoint solar cellular. personally, i hate spypoint, but it's alot better than the stealthcam, being solar.
myself, i'm all about video, and the cam has to have great night-vision. sound, i can live without, it's not even necessary. but, it does make the vids more enjoyable. i think, for me, the top features are night-vision, video quality, and battery life. i'll never buy a 'name-brand' again, only the 'overseas' brands.

Reconeco kunuk is canadian made and is bar none the best camera made today, you focus on America cams
