Default RE: Remote trail cams

ORIGINAL: TROPHYHUNTER25

its called buckeye cam sends signal threw cellphone towers runs on 12 volt battery with a solor charger battery should last at least a year. or try agcams, they take video day and night and can send it to a moniter or video recorder 8 mi. away. so by NOT checking it every week the deer don't know your watching
THe cost of running these are expensive. You will need to have a cell phone package and then you would need to have the camera set up in an area where you have cell phone reception (not all areas wheere you hunt will have reception, at least in my area). Also, the idea of these repmote cameras is for areas that are not that accessable to get to, but you would need to use a 12V battery (I understand you needa large 12v for the long battery life) and carry the camera and battery, solar pannel, locking device all that distance. For me the cost is not worth it.

My understanding is that there is another system of a remote camera (do not know too much about it yet) which uses wireless transmitters to transmit your pictures. The range and battery life is not that good, but is susposed to be good near a cabin or home with hydro. They claim the range is close to 100 yards and the receiver will signals from more then one camera.

Hope this helps.
