[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5395926, member: 1409"] As to all cell cams, the main reasons most of us find them desirable is so that the area can be less disturbed (from our checking/servicing the cam), and our getting the pics daily rather than waiting until we physically go pull the sd card. Because we're planning to check them less frequently, battery life and sd card capacity become bigger issues with cell cams. Then there is the issue of reliability. If a cell cam is not working reliably, this issue can defeat the entire purpose of going cellular. So keep in mind, generally speaking, lower up front prices often mean working less reliably, and/or just not as well as some costing a bit more up front. As to costs, depending on your situation, you might save more on gasoline than you spend on the cams! And with some cell cams vs others, one make/model may save you enough on batteries to buy a new cell cam in only 3 or 4 years of use. As stated previously, difficult to compare monthly cell plan costs. To add to that, some plans allow a certain number of High-Definition (HD) uploads monthly at no additional cost, while other plans charge extra per each pic when you upload HD pics. Up front cost of the cell cam is but one of the financial considerations. Weigh out all the costs you can, say over a 3 to 4 year time horizon. [/QUOTE]
