Spartan GoLive Cellular Trail Camera Review

Thanks Jase from Jase outdoors!

No no, thank you Sean from Sean's Outdoor Adventures

@Jase Outdoors How do you like it compared to the Reolink’s? I know they’re of much different quality but I’m going back/forth between them and the Golive for our upcoming hog trap..

[@JaseOutdoors]

You pretty much said it...the Spartan's quality is awesome, but for me the $500 price tag isn't practical. I'm currently reviewing the ReoLink Go PT Plus that is supposed to be better quality. I haven't gotten that far yet so you might want to look into that one if you haven't already. The biggest advantage with the ReoLink over the Spartan is you can look around right from your phone. Hope this helps, let me know what you decide. Good luck!

[@user-pj2hp4ig4o]

@@JaseOutdoors Thanks for your reply. It looks like the PT Plus is wifi and not cellular? We'd need a cell camera where we're putting the trap.. As for Golive vs Go/PT another thing holding me back is the battery in the PT is internal and, as we know with batts, they eventually won't hold a charge... The cost of getting a new PT every xx years would be at what the Golive is.. I'm leaning towards trying the regular Go as you can replace the batt and they are around $40 on Amazon. Or I still may get the Golive...lol... can't decide! It would be nice if they put a replaceable batt in the PT..

[@Hormone270]

great review. I watched this before I even unboxed my camera. very informative re resolution/MB use, and time delay to get multiple pics per encounter, etc. Thx.

[@JaseOutdoors]

Appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

these cameras need a camouflage strap and camouflage antenna but the photos and videos are great, the cell companies need to give better deals on data too

[@JaseOutdoors]

Yea definitely the best cam I ever tested but it comes at a price. Thanks for watching

[@tinadonica3668]

We have 2 and love them . We use a 12v with it because we use it for dog trapping and go thru alot of pics lots of battery life. We also have it on the Verizon account for 5.00 a month unlimited .

[@JaseOutdoors]

Good to know that works!! Thanks for sharing!

[@martinp1521]

hi how I can do 5 a month unlimited I have Verizon account can you help me ??

[@JaseOutdoors]

@@martinp1521 hopefully Tina can chime in but basically you have to add the camera as another line to your Verizon plan. They'll probably look at you like you lost your mind and will probably have to explain to them how to add the MEID number. The photos will be sent as text messages but I'm wondering about the live look, if that's doable. I'd assume you'd need to use the Spartan app for that. Hopefully Tina can help

[@martinp1521]

@@JaseOutdoors question you can see how many mb you used is app when you can check how many left ?? also if I pick some small plan I can switch fro bigger plan , by the way thank your presentation

[@tinadonica3668]

@@martinp1521 you just call your Verizon carrier and say I want to add a spartan go live to my Verizon line .. they will want 2 sets of numbers on the box or on the camera and its 5.00 a month. There is a start up fee I think 40.00 or something but then its 5.00 a month then just register it with spartan as usual and remember to buy the premium credits thru spartan ( only 1.00 a month for downloads etc) and then you are good.

[@shanerobinson565]

FYI Ridgetec has a settings for pics and uploads to satisfy your upload pic misses

[@lukeshimshak8532]

Do you need to pay for every month? Or can you pick the month's you pay for it?

[@JaseOutdoors]

I believe you can pay per month or for the whole year at a bit of a discount. I wasn't able to keep the camera so I didn't have it longer than a month. I'll see if I can get a definite answer for you though

[@KDOG9720]

Jason, can I take a picture of an area at a time of my choosing with the app and send it to my phone rather than viewing live video? Thanks Kevin

[@JaseOutdoors]

Yep! This cam has a lot of features and works really well

[@gaelewis6623]

My issue is your buying the camera for the go live feature so in low signal areas and your not getting good signal the go live feature doesn't work properly?

[@JaseOutdoors]

Yea, they're all like that. Thanks for watching

[@redneckfarmer6584]

Nice review Jase. Looks like a company finally got everything right. Except for the color of the strap😂😂😂How would you compare this to the reolink go pt?

[@JaseOutdoors]

Lol yea, straps sux anyway. The Spartan in comparison to the ReoLink PT...well, the Spartan has much more motion reach to work as a trail cam, but the ReoLink is half the price that comes with a solar panel. Can also run the ReoLink much cheaper per month. Spartan is way better quality though. Comes down to how much u want to spend I guess

[@TravisjKemp]

Sounds like a great camera but the cell plan seems a little expensive compared to my cell cams

[@JaseOutdoors]

Yea, best cam in my opinion. Plans are a lil steep

[@vaughnblaylock6069]

Great video, and whatever camera you are using to film your KZbin video with you sitting at your desk is really really high quality.

[@JaseOutdoors]

Appreciate that! Yea, I do photography for a living so that's a high end DSLR with a prime lens. Thanks for watching!

[@markc4921]

What happened to your other 2 spartan cameras since they're no longer active?

[@JaseOutdoors]

Those cameras were the very first ones they put out and they were 3G. Verizon did away with all 3G stuff so the cameras were no longer able to work on the 3G network. I was pretty pissed but Spartan offered a deal for a 4G version. As I understand it wasn't Spartan's fault it was nice they offered something but still would of had to shell out several hundred dollars that I didn't want to spend. Should be good with 4G units for a long time. At some point I'm sure the same thing will happen with any 4G unit.

[@donwaters2941]

Hi, can you live stream on KZbin using this camera? Thanks.

[@JaseOutdoors]

If there's a way, I don't know how. I doubt it's possible but wouldn't be surprised if someone proved me wrong

[@josephbonadio1903]

Spartan makes excellent cams......The designer of the original Spartan has his own company now, Ridgetec Cameras, they actually got slightly better reviews vs the Spartan Ghost

[@JaseOutdoors]

Awesome, good to know! Thanks 👊

[@xtucam5439]

Nice review

[@JaseOutdoors]

Thanks 👍👊

[@zfilmmaker]

Can images/video be deleted from the app off the SD card remotely (to free space)? If you get a bunch of missed shots, due you have to go physically empty the memory card at the camera or can it be done remotely over cellular?

[@JaseOutdoors]

You can have it set to override the images if the card fills up. Never have to go and free up space. Some cam you can format the card from the app. I honestly don't remember if you can do that from this app. I'd guess so cause Spartan is one of the best cams ever made.

[@zfilmmaker]

@@JaseOutdoors Thanks for your response. I’ve read many people have issues with the app freezing or quitting during live video. Have you experienced that?

[@JaseOutdoors]

@@zfilmmaker I only had the cam for about 4 weeks and then I had to send it back. The sent me the cam just to test but I couldn't keep it. I didn't have any trouble while testing it

[@BilalSayedArt]

Anyone have experience with this camera in BC/Canada - connectivity issues with canadian cellular providers, etc.

[@JayN4GO]

I didn’t catch the price of the camera. Looks nice though. The monthly fees are steep wow. Well compared to the new Tactacam. Feel me in on the battery life and what you typical use for data. Tnx Jase!

[@JaseOutdoors]

The camera is $500, so yea, that's going to be the tough part for some folks. You do get what you pay for though. The quality of this cam is unreal. Battery life is something to be determined. Thanks for watching bro

[@zzz7zzz9]

what the heck kind of bear is that, that it doesn't attack your cam??? maybe that paddle of an antenna puts out a force-field that he can't penetrate. i can't use cell-cams, specifically for that reason. bears zero in on my cams and attack the heck out of them.

[@JaseOutdoors]

Hah, yea I'm not really sure. Knock on wood I haven't had a bear touch my cell cams yet but I'm sure it's a matter of time. They have broken several others though

[@zzz7zzz9]

@@JaseOutdoors that was my biggest fear with my cellcam, was that the antenna would become a bear's toothpick.

[@JaseOutdoors]

🤣. Yea. I typically put them 8 to 10 feet up in the tree and haven't had any bother them there

[@zzz7zzz9]

@@JaseOutdoors i've been thinking about starting to do that too.

It helps from being stolen also

Us oldschool guys that grew up hunting in the late 70's 80's ,90's use to hunt. I mean we use to "HUNT" . We had kids. Then we try to get them off they're cell phones and video games and take them hunting. This is the results of it right here. Hey!! I use to sit in my stand and think man if i had something to hang my bow on, or, man if i had a net that could drop on the deer 😂 ect... These kids now days live in a high tech world. And they combined they're high tech minds to there daddys ways and bam!!! Deer don't stand a chace these days.

[@JaseOutdoors]

Hah! Yea, true true. Only going to get worse. It sure does beat the days of having to get a roll of film developed only to find pics of a moving branch 🤣

[@jason6325]

@@JaseOutdoors that i defintly agree.i told my son about that he said are you for real!!! I said yea by the time you got your film developed the deer done changed his pattern lol. I miss the old days. I defintly love the new bows, and some of the new equipment. But sure miss the the old days.

[@HunterL95]

This cameras like 400 bucks smh tactcam for the win!!

Think it might be closer to $500. Hah
