[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5644453, member: 1409"] I generally won't do video mode on cell cams even with an exceptional signal. For me, [U]with a cell cam[/U], if video mode might make more sense than still pics, I just set the cam to do still pics at something like 4 pics per triggering event, and then only have the "down time" at say 5 seconds between events. If even closer to full video is needed, I go 7 pics per event, 1 second between events. The main advantage of doing this instead of video is higher resolution images and longer battery life. Another advantage is a shorter duration between events, as when in video mode, the duration (down time) between events can become minutes rather than seconds (of missed footage or pics) simply because video takes so much longer to "save" on the sd card (as well as to upload). About the only disadvantage of near video speed still pics is a lack of sound. Sometimes this is a big disadvantage, often it isn't. When I think sound and video is very important, I typically run a non-cell video cam along with (like beside) that cell cam set to still pics. [/QUOTE]
