[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5738329, member: 1409"] Actually, the false triggering problem [I]CAN[/I] be much less an issue with cell cams. Typically, a particular cell cam will have such a high monthly limit for pics that significant false triggering for a day or two is not necessarily going to cost any more $. The advantage of the cell cam is that you find out very quickly you have a false triggering problem, and then can immediately remotely change the cam setting to either eliminate or reduce the false triggering. The one cell cam I have now that's false triggering between 8:45 am and 9:45 (due to the rising sun hitting it), it goes from a 30-second triggering interval to 10 minutes at 8:30am to 4pm (or whatever time I set for it to revert back to 30 seconds or less between events. False triggering is actually a bigger problem with non-cell cams for me. Most of my cell cams "report in" 2 to 6 times daily, depending on application & purpose. The above mentioned one is currently set to 2 times daily, so I get a report @ 8:30 am as to what's happened since 4pm the prior evening. Another report comes in at 4pm. I rarely use the "instant" reporting setting simply because it drains battery life so much faster, and also because I seldom need to know "instantly". Just depends on the application. [/QUOTE]
