Hopefully you'll get some pics soon. It's not long till we can sling arrows !

I just came back. I recently lost about half of my wireless network because the pines grew up and attenuated the signal too much. I'm in the process of erecting a taller antenna mast for a long-term solution, but in the near term, I'm reduced to collecting pics with SD cards from half my cameras.

How much does the wireless cost a month? Is it expensive ? That would be nice though

Zero monthly cost with my old BEC Orion system, but a high entry cost. I'm not just using game cameras for scouting. I'm using them for QDM data collection. They run 24/7/365 and are reliable but way too expensive for simple scouting operations. The cell phone systems that you pay a monthly charge for typically don't send full size images which I need for my application. My system operates on the unlicensed 900 MHz spectrum so there is no recurring cost. RF communications at that frequency can be challenging given the FCC power limitations. It is a good fit for my application but probably not for most. There are other threads with more details.

Thanks,
