Best Cell Cam Provider 2025

[Newbie]

Looking for recommendations for the best cell cams on the market right now. I’m running some tactacams now that I’m lukewarm on & have had mixed experiences with moultrie.

Brother just bought a new place & I was going to grab him a good cell cam as a gift. He doesn’t have any others at the moment so he can start fresh with a good camera company.

I’ve heard good reports on WiseEye…. I don’t own one yet. My neighbor in Iowa has em, and love the cameras.

I have several SPYPOINT cameras. Mediocre. I don’t hate them. I don’t love them.

If you plan to run multiple cell cameras.....I think the Cuddelink system has the most bang for the buck. They have also just enhanced the picture quality from the small thumbnails to full size images with better resolution (tho that has not been a huge factor for me). The link system allows you to use just one camera for the cellular transmitted pics (the home camera) to which all the other cameras forward their pictures to via an ingenious radio transmitted system. That way you only have one cell bill of ten or 20 dollars a month....depending on the picture quantity. You can have up to 24 cameras and only have the one home camera on your cellular set up.

I currently have 8 cameras. Works great. Lots of guys on this site with this set up. Look in the trail camera thread.

Here are a few samples (day and night) of the thumbnails I get. Good enough to do "inventory work".....and I can get the full size pics off the cards if I want them.

Do the Cuddelinks still eat 'D' cell batteries like crazy? I couldn't keep that system going, as hard as I tried. They had the worst trigger of any camera I ever used, tested side by side with a non cell Browning. Got less that 25% of what the Browning got.

I think I am getting close to a hunting season out of the 4 D’s in the camera. Nearly a year with the added battery pack. Over 2 years straight with some on solar with no issues

Depends how many pics youre taking. Most people use solar panels on them, and don't have to worry about D batteries.

The default trigger setting is a lot less sensitive on my L series Cuddebacks than others. After turning up the sensitivity, I get more pics which is usually from longer distances, close to what I get standard with other brands.

I like my stealth camera for the rapid transmission and the photo quality looks nice because it's enhanced. Detection sucks, lots of garbage. The one I have up is going on three years.

Cuddebacks have been bullet proof and there is no way I could afford this many connected cameras with other systems. The detection on the cuddebacks has been the best of any camera I have ever used. The photo quality is more accurate.

AI is going to change some things I think.

I know lots of guys put solar on their cameras and are pretty happy with that set up. Most of my cameras are run off of four D batteries....and I get about 60 days on a set of bats. I find that cheaper and easier than using allot of solar on my cams. I do run solar and a battery pack on my home camera unit......and that home camera was in the field for three years before I replaced it with the new L Camera. Never did touch it. I may spend about $75 per year on batteries to tend to my set up. Not sure adding solar would be cheaper. Solar collectors and rechargeable are not cheap either. Maybe a push? You do the math.
