What are some good cellular cameras out there for very little reception? I have been using spypoint for 1 yr. At first it was great, now I get very few pictures. I can walk in front of camera and it will send my picture later at night with also pictures from earlier. Battery is good, also put a 10ft antenna on it. Looking for something that will send pictures from remote area with very little phone service.

For the money it’s hard to beat the Tactacam Reveal. They are releasing at least one new model in May..maybe two. Whichever cell service works for your area is the one you need regardless of what cell provider you have.

If you are a hardcore deer manager that wants to know how many hairs are on a buck’s sack then get a Reconyx. If you want to know what’s on your property without having to check cams everyday I recommend the Reveal.

I think Covert is one of the best. 50,000 photos yearly for $99, not a monthly deal

Thanks for the help, I will be checking those out, seems like spypoint is just not holding up, or something happened to their network.

Couple of things you can try. First of all those extra antennas don’t work in my experience. So maybe just swap back to regular antenna but the main thing I found is if you have bad reception have it set to send pics every time it takes one not upload them twice a day or whatever. Only other thing to check is it may need an update where you have to take the SD card and camera to a computer and download the latest version.

Spypoint's network has never worked worth a dang for anyone at our camp. We were all constantly adjusting their position and updating the firmware. I am down to 1 SP cam and will get rid of it as soon as the contract expires. We have had good luck with the tactacam reveal cameras. Turn them on and let them run. No constant updates and if you do have a problem, you can call and talk to someone that speaks English rather than on online chat with a foreigner texting from a script.

Thanks again guys, I will just let let this spypoint run its course , 3 weeks and it season is over anyway. I am going to try one of those tactacam. Just a bad time to be switching now, even though its only sent one picture in a week.
