[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4715647, member: 1409"] [b]Re: What uses the mobile camera’s?[/b] My experience as well. Actually, you're typically looking at having about the same financial investment in one cell cam as 3 Browning Dark Ops cams. And, you'll spend more on replacing batteries on that cell cam than you will on 3 Dark Ops over the course of time. Will you get more pics from 3 cams than 1 cam? How would you feel if you went a couple months [i]WITHOUT[/i] physically pulling the card on the cell cam, having nothing you're looking for to be transmitted to your phone, but later when you pull the card, you find there are several pics on the SD card of what you most wanted to see? Yep on all points. And you pretty much MUST USE LITHIUM batteries, unless you don't mind physically installing new batteries in your cell cam more often than every two weeks! And unless you have a very strong cell signal at the cam location (often not the case), you will later find out there are lots of pics on the SD card that weren't transmitted. I've had this particular trouble with most brands & models when the servicing door opens the full length of the box. It often happens after a year, whenever the rubber seal on top begins degrading a bit. My best solution for this as been a strip of camo Gorilla duct tape wrapped around at least the top of the cam box. Knowing that water flows downhill, I've never understood why designing engineers had a servicing door crack on the top of a trail cam! By contrast, the Browning line has a small servicing door near the bottom of their cams, with less possibility of any rain or moisture entering the cam. I've never used the Gorilla tape trick on the Brownings, and never had much moisture issue when them either. For me, Bushells, Coverts, and some other full-door brands have been problematic in rain, often causing blurry or worthless pics for several days after a rain, sometimes getting so much moisture in them to short-circuit and stop working. I have a Love-Hate Relationship with Trail Cams :mrgreen: The cell cams can be the greatest at times, as well as the worst of the worst in frustrating the user! [/QUOTE]
