6 Things You're Doing Wrong With Your CELL CAMERA!!!

[@lcjjr.6714]

Good tips. Another is not to face cameras into the sun. It creates blurry pics and condensation buildup.

Thank you not a hunter but own a rural residential lot on 4 acres. Lots of deer and other wildlife. We sadly have a neighbor who is trying to set the conditions to take as much as an acre of our land thru adverse possession. We need to catch them in the act of trespassing but wifi is a problem and trail cams havent caught them. These folks are more skittish than deer actually in avoiding getting caught. They come out before we get up and enter behind the trees and their house is near the property line so they ave closer proximity to this art of our property. We bought a cellular pan tilt cam but are waiting to see where we can place it without them seeing us do it. Not easy. Our trees are all narrow width or scrub woods or dead trees that wildlife use. We have used a pole to mount a few old non-cellular cams which seems to work but our cellular pan tilt has a solar panel and is too big and wont fit. Any suggestions for covert mounting a pan tilt cellular (Reo-Keen) withuot getting seen from 100 feet away? We need some evidence to take legal action. Oddly they have cameras on their house which catch our every movement (no idea what kind).

I've had 4 cell cameras out for over a year on the same Energizer lithium batteries. I get well over 100 pics per camera every month. Some get 200-300 per month. I;m using Spypoint Cell cams.

[@hhprogressiveconstruction1140]

I’m on the unlimited plan with spypoint ones on a feeder and the other on a well travels route

[@randydunmire]

I use Alkaline batteries and they work fine for me

[@mdees88]

Me too. I've got 3 months on all 7 of my mouktrie edges using alkalines and they're sending videos.

[@dgreenapple]

Good video. Just FYI, my Moultrie mobile lasted almost 10 months on 12 AA Alkaline batteries. I will take note and try Lithium at your recommendation.

[@mdees88]

There's no reason to waste your money on lithiums if you're getting 10 months on alkaline. 12 alkaline AAs cost $3.50 on amazon. 12 lithiums cost $30. I've got over 2 months on all 7 of my moultrie edge cell cams using 16 AAs that cost me $5. You won't see me using lithiums...

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

thanks for the tips

[@steveray6370]

Thanks for the info as I've had problems with signal and battery (high energy) drainage. I am ordering a solar panel today. I like your bino harness. Who makes it???

Good job young man.. New to cell cams this year,love it so far! Exodus Render all the way..l will have another one soon. Give Jeff Sturgis credit for my purchases. (He's the bomb) that means good Jeff! Lol

[@michaelpoplawski3246]

Appreciate the video. I'm thinking of trying out a cellular game camera this year, so it's nice to come across a little tutorial like this.

[@alanhightower8486]

Always great info, lot of camera issues are from setup issues.

[@royguidry1311]

Nice video but had to laugh at one big mistake is paying 5 bucks for data and only needing 3. After buying property, a truck, side by side, rifle, crossbow, bow, ammo, bolts and arrows, camo clothes, tree stands, food plots, chainsaws on and on not to mention the actual cameras , batteries, SD cards and solar packs, gas money it’s like your grandpa telling you you are stupid because you didn’t ask the car dealer for a free hat when you bought your 60 k pickup. It’s not stupid, just funny.

[@bluevoid5171]

Idk if it's the same for all cell cameras BUT it even says it on their website "EDGE Battery Usage Information: 16 AA Alkaline: 1.4 years of use when set to upload once per day for median user" Ives used these batteries cause they don't cost an arm and leg to buy and my camera has run for almost a year and three months on the same batteries.

[@MrJimbo1212]

Hey Cam, hope all is well...are your cell cams still using verizon exclusively?

[@ExodusOutdoorGear]

Yes sir!

I use alkaline batteries in my cell cameras with zero issues!!! I can get 2-3 months out of them in my cell camera.

[@dustins8448]

Alkaline batteries corrode really easily and will ruin your camera. That’s the main reason to not use them.

[@brentbusick2245]

@@dustins8448 I have used them forever. I’ve never used a lithium battery in any camera till this year. I tried them in one of my cameras. All of my cameras stay out year round. Zero issues

Great advice thanks for sharing

[@Willi-g9o]

If you have, say, 8 cameras set up across different plots of land, how do you differentiate which camera shows up a pic on your phone?

[@tylerparker3024]

You name the cameras. It tells you which one it is. You just have to remember the name and where its at. You could make pins on your map with the names of each camera in case you forgot

[@Willi-g9o]

how do you keep the deer from seeing the cam and solar panel. this is my second year using a cell cam with solar panel i get one pic of a nice buck one time of maybe two it seems like they see panel and never comes back

[@stickjr.3715]

Rule 7. Don't talk in the bedding area.

Good video. Don’t forget to check your work for spelling errors….😊

[@The_Rut_Funnel]

Just set them to send pics once a day. Saves a lot battery life

[@Brandon-uo1rv]

So do you have to use rechargeable batteries with the solar panel? Always thought that was the case and why I never purchased the panel and used lithiums.

[@ExodusOutdoorGear]

The panel has built in rechargeable batteries

[@Brandon-uo1rv]

@@ExodusOutdoorGear So just so I understand you can use lithium batteries along with the solar panel to get more time for camera functioning?

[@ExodusOutdoorGear]

@@Brandon-uo1rv the internal batteries act as a backup to the solar panel. If the solar panel dies and is unable to recharge, the camera will switch to the internal batteries. We’ve had cameras running for 365 days + strictly on external power

[@huntingiseasy9259]

tell me that the big shiny solar panel doesnt scare deer away

[@ames4657]

I’m a hobbyist and have had cameras up for years, however I’ve never had a cellular camera. One question, since my iPhone is 3g, will it be compatible with 4g cameras? Thought this was an excellent video. Thank you.

[@ExodusOutdoorGear]

The device you have won't hinder the camera at all. It's just like another cell phone. You can text folks with 4G LTE phones, the camera works the same way. It just needs Verizon coverage where it is placed to have the ability to communicate with your device.

[@ames4657]

I have had horrible luck with costomer service with exodus. They never get back with me. Never again

[@BossPrepping]

my question is can you run a at&t card in your cameras because no Verizon signal here only at&t?

[@ExodusOutdoorGear]

They are only Verizon certified

[@jesselonis1090]

Spypoint Flex trail cams run with both Verizon and ATT simcards. That way if you lose signal with one then the other picks up signal.

[@benwicker5820]

If my phone only took pictures an had 8 Duracell battery's in it its gona last many months . Just like my trail camera. Don't try to sale me a solar system .

[@mdees88]

Exactly. All my moultrie edge cell cans have lasted over 2 months on $5 worth of alkaline batteries and they're all recording videos.

[@michaelparrish755]

I have a unlimited plan with my camera. I get thousands of pics a month. I have gotten 1,895 pics in just this week alone. Unlimited works best for me.

[@westonf69]

What kind of battery life are you getting?

[@WBOutdoors01]

After seeing the sawzall I had to click on it lol

[@MrSrtman18]

I cant afford one of these cameras. Whats a good low end camera for the poor folk.

[@mdees88]

I bought my moultrie edges on sale for $75 and they have worked great for the money. I killed a 6.5 year old buck this year and I got 25 videos of him using the cameras. Even got the kill shot on the camera. Search "life and death of the palmated 8" if you'd like to see them in use.

[@raymondjones1866]

Cell cameras are worthless where I hunt south Jersey pinebarrens absolutely no cell service can't even make calls when I'm in deep.

[@ebayollis]

Or you can buy spartan cams and you don't have to buy data plans. Just buy monthly premiums for 4$ per cam ...unlimited pics

[@jaredglass2562]

I honestly can't say I've ever run a spartan camera. At there price point there probably a good camera but I know I've had excellent performance and customer service from exdous.

[@Badger-w8u]

I do not own a "smart" phone , so I cannot buy a cellular . So I will need to use non smart camera .

[@ExodusOutdoorGear]

Cell cameras will work with any connected device. You can check photos, manage data plans, and control the camera functions through your computer as well.

[@jakerottman7803]

If you need a solar panel, why don't you include one?

[@ExodusOutdoorGear]

We have bundle options on the site

[@beekeeper8474]

The good reason is constant income from customers. I'll stick with sd cards

[@mdees88]

Actually the good reason is being able to set them up in secluded areas and only leave your scent there ONCE. I put mine out right before a big rain and leave them all season. I got 25 videos of a 6.5 year old buck this year. I killed him standing in a scrape and I got the kill shot on the cell cam. I would have certainly ran him off if I stunk his stomping ground up every week or two to swap out cards.

@@gradyrobinson-shaw6079 I don’t know what they’re goals are, nor do I care. It’s a simple issue of being unable to supply a heavily marketed product. And not just one product, every single version of the product. If you can’t source a product in 2 years time in todays world than the business it’s self is destined to fail. The simple fact of the matter is, they’re not only unable to sell their own product, they’re loosing massive capital to other company’s who can.

@@flounderwetspot8524 well that’s where you’re wrong. They can sell their products, that’s why they’re sold out. Every time inventory is restocked they sell out in a months time. Seems like a pretty good problem to have to me? The cameras sell before they even get them. Sounds like you’re just salty you have missed your opportunities. Sign up for their newsletter dude. They announce inventory every time they get it in.
