Title: Exactly as advertised
Review: These things are really cool trail cams. Super simple and straightforward to get setup. It hasn't been overly motion sensitive. So I'm not getting lots of pictures of the wind blowing vegetation like I have with other cameras with the sensitivity up high. Construction seems solid. The only annoying thing is the photos aren't giving me a notification when it takes a new one. But that might be an app issue or something with my phone settings. Super cool, simple and definitely a good value for the money. So far it can pick up deer movement accurately at least out like 30 yards.

Title: Great picture clarity..
Review: Put up two of these and they work great. Easy to set up. I used their regular batteries that are holding a 75% charge with mild weather after approximately a months continuous use. I'd recommend studying the settings carefully because they can run through a standard free plan quickly, forcing you to upgrade to a paid plan to utilize the camera. Overall a good value.

Title: If you are having an issue and think your camera is BRICKED READ MY POST!
Review: I wanted to share my experience with everyone because I found nothing on the internet about this but it is clearly a thing. I have bought 10 of these cameras and I could not figure out why 5 of them were all doing the EXACT same thing right out of the box. Little did I know, its probably a software bug and I just didn't do the same thing when I activated the other 5 cameras. Here is what my problem was...After I purchased the camera plan while adding the camera,**** I chose the option to have Photo+Video.****I then turned the camera on for the first time as the directions said.The camer boots, connects and then takes a software/firmware update.The camera then reboots and connects. The app even shows it checked in perfectly fine.The next thing that happens is the camer goes into useable mode and when it sees movement turns the video on. The IFR lights come on and the green light comes on like its taking a video. The problem is, the video camera never stops and it never uploads the video. It doesnt matter how many times you turn it off and back on, it just continues to happen until the batteries are dead which is very fast considering the camera is permanently on.After a bunch of trial and error i discovered what snaps the camera out of it.1. Turn Camera off.2. Go into the camera settings on the app.3. Change the setting to Photo only. NOT PHOTO+VIDEO4. Turn camera back on.5. Do something in front of the camera and wait for it to show up on the gallery in the app.6. At this point once you have gotten your first photo upload, you can switch it back to PHOTO+VIDEO and BOOM....it works.This solution fixed all 5 of my cameras that I thought were not uploading or bricked.Moultrie, Please research this and share this information with your customers. There is a lot of people saying they had bricked cameras and I bet this is why!Overall, the camera is amazing for its price. I got 6 cameras for the price of 1 of the newer fancy ones. They take great pictures. You just have to request the HD picture or video. They do make a click sound in the dark but i have never once seen an animal spook from it. 5 stars!!!

Title: Excellent overall, but a couple gripes.
Review: Much praise, just a couple complaints.First, the cameras are solid, well built, and easy to use. Pictures and videos are excellent quality. I was concerned about battery life, but was pleased with how long they lasted. Only had one issue and that was when I put one in a spot with weak cell signal. I believe it used more battery than normal trying to send videos. When I moved it to a new spot, the batteries lasted weeks and weeks.Second, the app is easy and intuitive. Overall a polished experience. For such a niche product I expected more bugs and UI issues.So Overall, I'm very happy. Ran 2 of these this last season, will be running 6 next season.Here's my two issues, neither of which are a deal breaker:1. I think animals can see or hear it at night. Not sure if it is emitting visible light or a sound, but I have multiple videos of deer and coyotes stopping dead in their tracks at night and staring right into the camera. Sometimes it's an animal that had walked by it in the daytime without this behavior. This isn't a problem for me because I'm not using them to target a specific animal in my hunting spot during the season. I'm just trying to pattern their movements before the season.My second complaint is the pricing structure of the mobile plan. The per camera minimum is effectively $10 a month for the most basic plan with 10 videos (unless you buy an annual plan, but people like me don't need these cameras year round). The "Unlimited plan" is $35 with 50 videos, and $8 for each additional camera. So If I run 6 cameras on the basic plan, I'm out $60. If I do the same thing on Unlimited, I'm out 75. Now if I stick to basic, I can buy 50 extra videos PER CAMERA for $1 per camera. So I'm at $66 for 6 cameras getting 60 videos each, vs $75 for 6 cameras only getting 50 videos each. So it's no discount at all. And in my experience, I will not necessarily download 10 videos per month on each camera. You can usually see what set off the camera in the thumbnail, and only choose to download and pay for the the most interesting videos. So Moultrie, please reward loyal customers who are buying many multiples of your product with a real volume discount that makes sense.Having done a lot of research, talked to a lot of people, and used two of these for a full season, I'm very happy with them. It is very exciting to wake up every morning and see what I got that night and check it again after work and see what's been moving around all day.

Title: Take great day and night photos
Review: Set up is easy. It picks the best cellular network. I use an external power source and a solar panel so I donât ever have to visit/disturb the sight. I have been use Moultrie for 5 years and currently have 3 active cameras. The reliability is great and customer service is much better than SPYPOINT. Iâve retired all my SPYPOINT cameras due to poor customer service.The pictures I included were a low resolution thumbnail and then the high definition download.

Title: Greta product
Review: They take great pictures and donât get their lenses fogged up during wet weather. I did have one small issue during set-up. I activated the camera and left but did not get any pictures. Be sure to close the app out after you activate the camera and restart it. I got all of the pictures that the camera had been taking, the app just wasnât processing them.
