How to Use the MOULTRIE MOBILE EDGE TRAIL CAMERA

[@davidquadagno8230]

The best explanation of all I have watched

[@SpikesandGills]

Thank you. I am planning another video that explains and shows the troubleshooting issues that I had with a couple of mine. Also I have been getting a bunch of questions about some issues people have had with their cameras. One of the great things is MOULTRIE employees have been very helpful and they will ship out a new camera right away if you have problems with any of yours. They only ask for you to send back to them the old one.

[@Thundercat1978]

I literally just bought one of these this past Saturday and set it up it was so easy and it’s working great

[@SpikesandGills]

Sweeet!!!! I love how easy and how long the battery lasts when putting all 16 in. Pretty cool how it works on just 8 batteries then switches over to the other 8. I hope you get hundreds of great pictures and videos!

[@KL-bc2vn]

Mfer is giving me heartache trying to set up

[@SpikesandGills]

@@KL-bc2vn REALLY! Download the App, Put batteries in, scan bar code on inside cover with cell phone camera, follow set-up instructions on App. Go to woods and strap to tree. Turn on camera and wait for it to connect to nearest cell towers, close camera and walk away. In App you setup the photo upload frequency to whatever you want. Good luck!

@@KL-bc2vnit damn near sets itself up. I was taking pics in less than 5 mins

[@SAFE-AT-HOME-SPORTS.]

@@SpikesandGillsit’s really that easy. Push the CONNECT button it sends a pic to show you what you are looking at. It may need adjusting.

[@lonnietaylor7953]

Just got mine today a 2 pack and tried setting 1 up but when I cut it on the lights don’t light up but the battery life pops up

[@SpikesandGills]

Very good chance you put old batteries in. I don’t mean ones you’ve used already. Check the date on back of the battery package. I only use batteries that are one year old or newer. Check this first. Then get back to me.

[@MayMay11_21]

Just set mine up and I'm not getting night pictures. They only show up black. Any idea?

[@SpikesandGills]

I’ve never heard of this and none of my eight that I own have ever done this. I’m wondering if maybe that particular camera has an infrared sensor lighting issue. MOULTRIE will send you a new one if you call. They are great to customers and I’ve had to replace one after a year and I got the new one in less than three days. Call MOULTRIE they can see what your camera is doing on their end and walk you through any trouble shooting.

[@johnnick5358]

great tips for a newbie like me, thanks

[@SpikesandGills]

Oh, well, thank you very much! I’m glad to know this video has helped at least one person! I hope you have lots of success!!!!!

[@johnnick5358]

im putting it behind my rental house in the woods in central Florida, excited to see what it captures since central florida has much wildlife@@SpikesandGills your intro cam video helped !

[@SpikesandGills]

@@johnnick5358 PERFECT!!!!

[@bruh-vl9tw]

Do i need to put the flash setting on for nighttime or does it just automatically go nightvision

[@SpikesandGills]

I am currently running 8 EDGE cameras and they all automatically use a very low light infrared flash that doesn’t scare deer.

[@yingpin18]

Thanks for the great breakdown!! Nice Delivery!

[@SpikesandGills]

Oh! Thanks a million! I had fun filming this one! I actually own 6 of these cameras now, lol. I hope your having good luck with yours!

[@Barbara32335]

Love My Moultrie Edge camera. Tells Me if its a Buck or Doe when I get a notification before I open the picture

[@SpikesandGills]

I know! Aren’t they great! I own 7 so far. I can’t wait to try the EDGE PROS.

[@Barbara32335]

I want to get the pro next. I was having coffee in My favorite chair this Morning and My phone pinged telling Me I had pictures of Buck in My food Plot. I looked and it's a big 8 pt. Buck. I wanted to grab My rifle and head to camp.

[@SpikesandGills]

@@Barbara32335 Oh, that is so cool! I’m anxious to get a couple PRO’S myself. I really like the fact that you can see in real time on your phone what the EDGE PRO sees before leaving so that way you can make darn sure the camera is pointing exactly where you want it to. I wish you the very best of luck this deer season!

[@Barbara32335]

Thank You. Good Luck to You

[@jw6180]

Thank you! I’m getting one today! 🙌

[@SpikesandGills]

Sweet! I’m having great success with them. I actually bought two more a few weeks ago. I now own 7. I hope you enjoy it and have lots of hunting success!!!!

[@teresapappas2407]

How do you make the video last longer? The video cuts off too soon so I can’t see as much as I need to see.

[@SpikesandGills]

Oh boy don’t I wish we could make the videos longer. But these cameras only offer ten second clips.

[@dannypate2427]

How do you refresh

[@SpikesandGills]

Gently place your finger on the phone screen and pull down. This refreshes the MOULTRIE app.

[@Imhim6767]

Hi do you have the delta one do you know if the signal effects it sending pictures

[@SpikesandGills]

I do not. I have tried a couple different brands where bad signal was an issue and that’s why I use the Moultrie EDGE cellular cameras.

[@Imhim6767]

@@SpikesandGills thanks

[@tiberiuswade8789]

Hey I'm Texas guy and I have 2 Delta, and 4 of the Edge Moultrie cam. As for as the Delta- signal strength has been low at spots and it STILL send pictures good quality. So to answer ? Delta works great even low signal

[@SpikesandGills]

@@tiberiuswade8789 Oh nice. I actually never used the DELTAS before. Good to know though. I might try those cameras.

[@nickolashunt6362]

Why am I not seeing notifications on my phone from the camera and my notifications are on?

[@SpikesandGills]

Are you asking about your cell phones settings and not the EDGE camera???? I actually never get notifications on my phone. I just refresh the MOULTRIE app and check my gallery every day.

[@nickolashunt6362]

Ok thanks for the info👍

[@justinrupert7233]

There is a setting on the app itself that you have to turn on. My phone didn't have setting options in my notifications for the Moultrie app, I needed to go to the app itself and turn on notifications...hope this helps

[@dukeofdixieland]

I just got one out - having some issues with pictures coming in. Do you just get pictures once a day? Old cam (regular SD, not cell cam) would get tons of pics every night by the corn pile, I just receive one

[@SpikesandGills]

I wonder if you have the upload frequency set to every 6, 8 or 24 hours. I set mine to update the picture gallery every 6 hours. However I too have a couple of these cameras in places I know for a fact should be sending me more pictures than they do. But then again it’s a different year and has been extremely warm for this time of year causing less deer movement. Go to your settings and scroll down to where you can set the upload frequency for sending pictures to your gallery. Choose the “every 3 hours” setting to see if that helps. Let me know what you find.

[@dukeofdixieland]

@@SpikesandGills i'm going to do that now.. my old cam was getting nearly 25 pictures in a night over the corn.. With this camera, it seems like it only takes 1 picture of the deer - I'd like to have multiple pictures each time it comes into frame. Like if a doe is feeding around for a while i'd like several pictures, not just when it triggers the cam.. thank you for your help.. i have it set on "immediate" upload frequency

[@knkylicious]

My pictures come out blurry. I k ow you can request high res but I mean they come out very blurry.

[@SpikesandGills]

Hmmm… I haven’t had this issue for daytime pictures. I occasionally get blurry nighttime pictures. Have you already checked the lenses on your cameras? To make sure they aren’t dirty or scratched.

[@knkylicious]

@@SpikesandGills yeah. Straight out of the package onto a tree(besides putting batteries in).

[@SpikesandGills]

@@knkylicious It’s quite possible you got a “dud” from the factory. It’s very unusual to get blurry pictures. Oh! By chance do you have a lot of foggy mornings? Or perhaps a lot of condensation in your area? These weather conditions will most definitely cause blurry lenses.

[@knkylicious]

@@SpikesandGills possibly here and there but in the images I’ve received there wasn’t.

[@knkylicious]

@@SpikesandGills technically I wouldn’t call them blurry but extremely pixelated.

[@scottwilkins3481]

I open the app and it never loads! I'm connected to my home wifi! What's goin on?

[@SpikesandGills]

As long as you scanned the bar code sticker on the inside of the camera door and paid for a monthly or annual plan then your camera should connect. These cameras connect to the closest cell tower near you - NOT YOUR CELL PHONES DATA or YOUR HOME INTERNET! They only connect to any one of the four major cell phone companies towers. It will take several minutes and sometimes up to an hour or more for the test photos to show up in your camera photo gallery. Also, if you click on DEVICES down in the bottom right of the app you should then click on the settings and go down through each setting for that individual camera and make sure you choose exactly what you want. Like for example: if you choose to have your photo gallery updated every six hours then you will not see any new photos until the six hours has gone by.

[@scottwilkins3481]

@@SpikesandGills I understand the system of the camera and operation, my issue is the app itself, I open it and the little white circle just spins, I never even make it to the home page!

[@scottwilkins3481]

I watched your video 3x before I put it the woods! I didn't wanna mess up!!

[@SpikesandGills]

@@scottwilkins3481 Does your cell phone have 5G network and does it have at least two bars of service? Maybe try turning off your phone and turning it back on after five seconds. Then try opening the app. I’ve also found that sometimes MOULTRIE updates the app and at that time the app on my phone will not work until the update has completed.

[@SpikesandGills]

@@scottwilkins3481 If it’s just the app not working right now then I would call MOULTRIE tomorrow and just ask them to double check your subscription for you to make sure everything is good. They are so great! I’ve had the internal parts of a camera stop working randomly after a year and they immediately sent me a brand new one and all they asked for in return was my older broken one to be shipped back to them. I had the new one in about two days and back in the woods in three days.

[@WildCaptures]

I’m going to give it a try, my only concern is this will be used on public land. I’ll have to hide it in a stump 👍

[@SpikesandGills]

Sweeet! Oh man I hope no one steals it. I currently own 7. I’ve had batteries last over a year in like five of the seven. One didn’t want to connect to any cellular network after I put new batteries in. The employees at MOULTRIE are the best! I called to let them know and they were able to diagnose the problem right away. All I had to do was email them a picture of the box that I packaged the broken camera in and they overnighted me a new one. I’ve been quite impressed with the cameras capabilities and the MOULTRIE company as a whole. I wish you the best of luck!!!!!

[@ljinman6983]

Are you sponsored by them

[@SpikesandGills]

I am not! I bought 7 so far. I make videos for personal reasons and obviously for the revenue earned from KZbin monetizing partner program. I actually have no sponsors or paid promotions.

[@tylermatthews2540]

16 batters is not going to last all season. I’ve used all of the major brand AA batters and most I can get is 3-4 weeks before the camera is dead

[@SpikesandGills]

Interesting! I have several that I haven’t had to change batteries in for nearly a year. I have a couple that actually made it a year on 16 batteries and are still sending me pictures. I have had two that did need batteries changed after about six months because those cameras were in high deer traffic areas. I guess it all depends on what uploading frequency you choose in the app and how many deer you have wondering around that camera. I choose a six hour upload/refresh frequency and it has helped the batteries last longer.

[@KhemGunnoo]

Price please

[@SpikesandGills]

Right now two packs are going for $110 at Walmart and just $99 at BassPro.

[@SpikesandGills]

I’m ordering a two pack for myself this week. That will make it 9 of these I’ll own.

[@Milwaukee307]

I was leaving to go buy these before I checked the plan prices. Cost more than my cell phone which is ridiculous. The fact that each camera needs its own plan is insane. Then the month to month is another 50% practically over annual. Just a rip off.

[@SpikesandGills]

I totally get it. I too wasn’t sure if it would be worth it. Actually I now own 7 and plan to go buy two more. The more you run the cheaper it gets. I’m now being charged the Pro-Rated monthly fee of 6.99$. Also you can choose to just run these cameras for one month, two months, three or more and shut off subscription at anytime. Then resume subscription for next hunting season. When I do buy a couple more I will actually pay for the whole year up front. It’s the better option when you do have many cameras.

[@MasterMallPatrol]

@@Milwaukee307 just bought one on Amazon on sale for 59$ and my monthly plan is 22$ a month for unlimited photos and video. What phone company are you using for less then that I'll switch tomorrow

[@charlesalmondjr]

All the cells camera you have to have a plan on each camera I love mine worth it

[@SpikesandGills]

@@charlesalmondjr Yes! Worth it! I just purchased one of the MOULTRIE EDGE PROS to try out and it’s working great for me. I don’t mind the month to month charge because I have the peace of mind in knowing I can cancel at any time. Then renew for the months I need to use the cameras.

[@darkhumoristhebest]

It's MUCH cheaper than Spypoint, and it pays off more and more with each camera on your plan.

[@τμεβοοκΦχξΙι]

Sucks how you cant just watch the video footage in live time yourself that would be nice

[@SpikesandGills]

Sweeet idea!!! That would be great!!!

[@lukemalace5316]

@@τμεβοοκΦχξΙι you would think being 2024, and with Ring cams being a thing, that would be a no brainer!

[@jaker2187]

The only drawback is the no SIM card which requires a monthly purchase of $10/month.

[@SpikesandGills]

The $8.00 to $9.00 a month for this type of trail camera isn’t really all that bad when compared to others. You can just pay for one month, two, three months or year round. I’ve been finding that having many of these cameras like around 6 or 7 EDGE cameras that MOULTRIE will discount the monthly charge. Sort of like a promotional rate. They’ve been really good to deal with. I’m actually going to buy a couple of the MOULTRIE EDGE PROS this year.

[@justinrupert7233]

@jaker2187 I actually prefer this approach as some of my cameras are hours away and I don't have to make the drive just to pull a card. It saves me much more than the $10 it costs to purchase the subscription. If you have more than 3 cameras I believe it's $40 a month for unlimited cameras, photos and videos. Pretty solid deal if you're not close to the cameras you want to monitor regularly.

[@allangilbert7011]

Buddy they eat batteries. I have changed the batteries twice within two months!!!!

[@SpikesandGills]

You must have defective cameras. Call MOULTRIE and tell them about this and they will send you a brand new camera. They only ask for the old ones to be sent to them. I’ve had to do this for one of my eight that I own and even after a year they still replaced the faulty camera for free. They are definitely not supposed to eat batteries that quickly.

[@SAFE-AT-HOME-SPORTS.]

I paid less than 130 for 2

[@SpikesandGills]

Sweeeeet deal

[@timothygarrity5181]

Hi great video!. I just bought these however my pics are a little blurry and murky looking Called the company they looked at pics and said the pics look good.I have shown numerous people,and every one of them says they do look blurry.I think the company knew they were blurry they just didn't want to have to refund the money.These cameras are mass produced so I am sure there are some bad ones out there.They told me to only select pics and not video that way with pics I could select 33mp.I did have it set up for pics and videos.They said if I'm looking for clearer pics select pics only.From 4mp through 33mp the Pic quality was the same?, meaning it made no difference in picture quality. Any pointers or ideas of what would be going on?.You would be a lifesaver!.

[@SpikesandGills]

Oh, wow! Is my first thought. I own 6 so far and I haven’t had this issue. Is it often foggy in the mornings where you live? That will dampen the lenses. By chance is the camera facing the sun rise or sun set? Both those things will blur pictures. A lot of the time it’s just the environment that makes them blur. Just a quick adjustment to where the camera is placed can correct it. Heck I just cleaned bear slobber off of one. That made a few blurry pictures, lol. You are right in that products like these are mass produced through machines and people. Common knowledge tells us that both those things are prone to errors every now and then. I only choose vid/pic mode on all of mine. I have been wondering though if I am getting all the photos I should be getting. I know for a fact I have a couple in places that are deer highways and I keep thinking I’m not getting what I should for pictures. I’m so sorry you’re having troubles. I loved my first 3 so I never hesitated to buy 3 more. But I am interested in trying out the EDGE PRO the next time I decide to buy another cellular trail cam.
