I'm looking to get setup with some wireless cams that text and would like some recommendations.

Cabelas has a good deal on a bushnell but has a few catastrophic failure reviews.

I️ know this has been discussed many times here but thought I would bring up since it's cyber Monday.

I have 2 spartan go cams.. I'd give them a 7 tuts 10
I also have 2 Arlo wireless security cams.. I really like them as you can hit the live button and see what's going on when ever you want.. both are $5 each a month for the service

Im using a Covert 12.1 black At&t, it is a 2017 model to which they have greatly improved compared to my last 2014 model.

The new models you do not have to mess will cell providers as they are now like a package deal which is a big plus!! The Covert has thier own app which gives you full control of the camera pertaining to gettimg pics, settings etc etc. I can even send a command to have it capture a photo at any given time.

Pic quality is great, sensor distance is extremely good and response of the sending function is good depending on your signal strength. The only fault I have seen so far is the trigger speed is a little slow, other than that I am very pleased.

Could you explain how the Arlo operates please? Is it cell based? Battery life etc etc.

PM if youd like as not to Hijack Bgoodmans thread.

The Arlo is cell based.. one of mine is plugged in to a wall outlet I use for a security camera.. the other one , I have a small solar panel that plugs in it and keeps the battery up..

From my research the Arlo "Go" is a dual purpose unit, can be used out in the woods running like a regular trail cam or at home plugged into a/c power!
They are pretty pricey tho.
