[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5121702, member: 1409"] Also don't overlook battery life, which becomes an even larger issue with cell cams because all cell cams drain batteries quicker than non-cell cams. For quite a bit last year I ran a Reveal Tactacam beside a Browning Scout Pro. The Tactacam requires 12 AA batteries; the Scout Pro requires 8. The Scout Pro runs approximately twice as long on 8 as the Tactacam on 12. Also, [U]it's almost a necessity to [I]ONLY [/I]use lithium batteries in cell cams[/U], whereas I often use rechargeable batteries in non-cell. Situation, timing, and settings will greatly effect battery life. I've gotten as little as 5 weeks and currently have some Browning Scout Pros at 9 months and still going. Keep in mind there are lots of issues to consider, this is just one, but one that's bigger on cell cams for these reasons in particular: 1) We typically are using cell cams because [U]we want to visit the cam site less often[/U]; 2) We may be using cell cams because it's much [U]harder to visit the cam site[/U] often. 3) [U]Cell cams drain batteries much faster[/U] than non-cell cams.
