Default E-mailing Trail Cams?

Is it true there are now trail cams that come equipped with the GPS and the ability to email pics to you straight from the camera?

If so I'm getting the internet on my cell phone.

They've been around for a few yrs now but they are very expensive.
A neighbor to our farm (who plays baseball professionally so he has the money) paid $900 a piece a couple years ago for two for them.

Looks like they are starting to fall in price.

What I don't like about that camera is the need to have Palm Treo's
I can't believe someone hasn't come out with a camera that you can just insert a SIM card into and have it use the 3G network to email a pic to "somewhere" every time it takes a picture.
This way all you have to do is pay a little extra money for the additional phone # (SIM) and pay for the data package.
Then you could use any smart phone that you want to view the pics.

This one uploads the pictures to a server, and then you just log on to the site a retrieve them. Pretty pricey though.

greatwhite,

While this concept is a great idea, from everything I have read or researched, the technology is just not there yet. The pictures are not any better than you would get on a cell phone and the perpicture price and monthly service chargeis prohibitive. www.chasingame.com has done a few reviews on these type of cameras and that is their conclusion. I'll say this, when the technology does arrive and the price comes down, sign me up!

Blessings.....Pastorjim

Moultrie has the I45 and I65 models coming out this year that will work with their GameSpy Connect. The cameras are supposed to run between $279 and $379. The GameSpy Connect will be an add on that will run about $150. This is what adds the cellular capability.

SmartScouter has a cellular surveilllance system as well. They run about $650.

Each of these cellular game camera systems will have a website subscription service that goes with them. Moultrie's will start at $29.99 per month. The SmartScouter fees are $14.99. Then they charge a tiered fee for the number of images you transfer. You can also put these programs in a dormant state when you aren't using them and pay a lesser fee during the off season.

The prices are still a bit steep now, but I'm sure they will come down as more players enter the market. If gas gets back to $4.00 a gallon, the savings from running back and forth to the woods to change memory cards and batteries would justify the price a bit.
