Just bought two and I like the ease of use, the app let's you control everything, the timing is sent when picture is took, but bv the quality of the pictures are just decent at best. Anyone else have any experience with these?

I had to send mine back. Messed with it for days trying to get a signal and never could. Finally figured out that the cable that connects the antenna and the camera was broken in half. We will see if they replace it or what.

I have 2. An evo and the micro. Got both on sale and if the referral works out right I'll have $60 in the micro. Personally, the price I paid for them while on sale I feel should be their regular price. Their customer service is absolutely terrible. When it works, it's fantastic. When it don't, it sucks lol. I will say if I can find the evo again on sale I'd prefer it over the micro

I know for sure the pictures on the app aren't great but have you pulled the card and looked at them on a computer. My evo takes really good pictures but those sent aren't so good with the details.

No I haven't tried that. The main reason I bought the cameras though would be so I wouldnt have the go in the area to pull cards but guess I could so that

your intentions are correct. And same as mine. I figure I can tell all I want from the app. But the pictures on the actual card are much better. So if you wanted to get a better view of something you could always pull the card when convenient.

I know those deer are decent ways away from the camera but I would figure it would be more than kind of a blob. Even the ones close up aren't that clear

here's one on the micro. I used up my monthly pictures on a bad setup and when I finally got it right my daughter decided to ride the fourwheeler by it the rest of the day lol.


What size card have you got in yours? Make sure it's a class 10 as well.

I just know it's a 16gb that I have to plug into an actual full size sd card to read on a computer. I'll see if I can find out though

outside of that I have no suggestions, but I agree your pictures aren't good. Even mine with a deer in the distance are much better. But I've had a lot more time with me evo than I have the micro.

will do. I don't plan on getting a package until maybe May at the earliest so I'll be relying on the 100 free pictures for now

I've not tried the cell cam but their regular cams take horrible pics especially at night. I'm waiting on the release of their modem that can be used with ANY cam. I'll hook a few ds4ks up to it

I picked up a micro when academy had them for $99. Love how small they are and easy to set up. Literally just slide a button and wait till it turns green. Do everything else in the app! My one complaint is the app is pretty slow when I don't have good 4G service. I hate that it has to load every single pic in your recent history. I mostly just want to see the latest pics taken, no every single pic for the last month.

philsanchez you can delete pics by holding on date and it will let your delete 25 at a time....
I've deleted a lot more than 25 at a time. Had an issue one day and my camera took literally 500+ pictures in just a few hours from the shade changing position and my camera being in a bush. Took awhile to get all those cleared out

I have a micro and it doesn't take clearest pictures either. The ease of use is fine and the cell service isn't great but does work out so your not always checking. Good for getting an idea of what's in the area.
