re: Game Camera that sends live pictures

I have 4 different cell cam brands. I have 8 Cuddelink, 1 browning, 2 Tactacam and 6 Spypoint Flex.

All have their strengths and weaknesses.

The Tactacam rarely sends a ghost picture. The batteries last forever and the trigger speed is really fast and the pictures get to you quickly.

One of the cons is cost for pictures. It’s $5 for 100, I think $10 for 250 and maybe $15 for unlimited. I honestly don’t remember. They do not over a bunching package for multiple cameras.

The Spypoint Flex have been good for me. I’ve had 1 malfunction and it was replaced by Spypoint. I do get ghost pictures but these are also on small trees in cutover areas so wind is an effect. The flex takes a very good picture, has an extremely fast trigger speed and a good communication speed from camera to your phone. The biggest plus for Spypoint is that I get 250 pictures per month, per camera for free once I joined the VIP club ($100 per yr) which is $8.33 per month overall. So that’s 1500 pictures per month between 6 cameras. That would cost you $60 for Tactacam. The flex east batteries though. They last 2-3 months usually but AA isn’t that expensive. They are coming out with solar flex this summer and I do plan to buy a few of them.

Cuddelink- the biggest plus is that as long as you get cell signal to the tower camera, the other cameras will work and communicate where no other cell camera will. These require D batteries which are expensive, but I can put them in deep bottoms where I have no cell signal. The picture sent is low quality but you can pull card for high SD picture. Trigger speed is pretty good, but because they communicate through radio communication from camera to camera, it takes a while to get a picture sent to you. They have their purpose for me and I only use them during hunting season and for areas where I want to stay out of except to hunt. I think my cost is $20 per month for 2000 total pictures. That is a great value and usually covers me because I don’t put the cameras over feeders. Usually scrapes, rubs, trails, food plot edges, etc and they do a great job.

The Browning cell camera is one my dad bought me for Christmas since I don’t have enough cameras yet! LOL

It takes a good picture, batteries seem to last and price for pictures quantity is pretty good. I would buy the Tactacam over it though. If only using 1 cell camera, I’d buy the browning over the Spypoint, but if buying 4 or more, I’d definitely go Spypoint. I think it’s like $8 per month for 1200 pictures.

I’m personally going to try the Flex Solar this year, and if I’m happy, I’m going to sell everything except 4 Cuddelink and build a full Flex Solar group of cameras.

I’ve had Cuddelink for 3 years, Spypoint and Tactacam about 18 months and Browning about 6 months.


I’m watching 400 acres and at times have 16-17 cell cameras and another 12-14 non cell cameras out.

You would be surprised the deer that I catch on one camera in an area and they never show up on another camera in that same area.

I just purchased my place last April and I have a lot to learn about it. The cameras have helped tremendously.

Hope this helps.
