How to Choose a Cellular Trail Camera

Trail camera manufacturers have made monumental strides in trail cam technology over the past few decades, producing high-quality cameras with advanced features and technologies. One of the most significant improvements in this era of trail camera development is the cellular game camera.


Cellular game cameras operate through a cellular carrier network to capture and deliver images to your cellphone, eliminating the need to retrieve SD cards manually.

Carrier Network

Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile are the three primary cellular coverage providers in the United States. Each one boasts an extensive coverage map. You should choose the one with the best coverage option in your trail camera's location. Keep in mind that your trail camera carrier network and cellphone carrier network are not connected and do not have to be the same.

To get the most out of your network signal, follow these tips:

  • Choose the right place: Avoid placing your trail camera in areas with a weak cell signal, such as near mountains, dense foliage or deep valleys, so you can get the fastest image transfer speeds possible.
  • Keep an eye on the weather: If you're having trouble retrieving an image, check the weather! Storms, fog, solar flares and cloud cover can all interrupt your network signal.
  • Monitor battery life: Keep a record of each trail camera's battery life and expectancy, including what batteries it takes, how long they will likely last and what the estimated replacement date is. Consider investing in a rechargeable battery box or solar-powered battery for easier management.

Data Plans

Aside from coverage and reception, the most important factor to consider when choosing a cellular trail camera is what data plan it's compatible with. Your data plan will determine the number of images you receive each month, the quality of those images and other features or add-ons. Some trail camera plan providers calculate data plans by the amount of data consumed, while others go by the number of images transferred each month. Most plans allow you to pay monthly or annually.

When considering a data plan, ask the following questions:

  • How many images does the data plan include?
  • Can you have more than one device on the data plan?
  • Is there an option to add additional images to your plan if needed?
  • What features and add-ons are available?
  • Does the data plan include high-resolution videos and images?
  • Does the data plan require a contract?
  • Is the data plan connected to your cell-phone bill?

Flexibility, convenience and affordability are why many of our customers choose Moultrie Mobile, and these are essential characteristics of a good data plan. With our plans, you can remotely check your cameras' status and change your settings as needed. All plans are contract-free and include regular system updates for new features as they come. You can even change your plan and add a new camera at any time.

Moultrie Mobile has cellular trail camera plans to fit any budget and accommodates a range of trail camera needs:

  • The Monitor plan includes 100 images each month.
  • The Standard plan includes 1,000 images each month.
  • The Large plan includes 1,500 images each month.
  • The Unlimited plan includes unlimited images for one camera each month.
  • The Pro Series Unlimited plan includes unlimited images for one or more cameras each month on the same plan.

No matter which plan is right for you, you never have to worry about hidden fees, fine print or contracts — and adding additional images is simple!

App

How will your cellular trail camera send images to you? Some rely on email or text message transfer, while others use smartphone app integration. Apps often include additional features to enhance your experience and help you get the most from your investment.

For example, the Moultrie Mobile app includes:

  • Unlimited cloud storage: No matter which data plan you choose, your cellular camera will store your images in a secure cloud storage system so you can access them anytime you need to and your images will never be deleted.
  • Advanced image recognition: Advanced image recognition automatically analyzes and tags your cell cam images as either deer, buck, doe, turkey, people or vehicles, so you can save time and find the photos that matter. Or setup notifications so you are alerted if one of these tags appears in a photo.
  • High-resolution downloads: Moultrie Mobile has high-resolution photos and the option to download high-definition versions of your images on demand.
  • Custom notifications: Change your app settings and customize your notifications to know when your camera detects activity.

Antenna Design

Cellular trail cameras rely on antennas to establish network connections and send images across distances. A trail camera antenna needs to be subtle and compact, but strong enough to withstand wildlife and the elements. Moultrie Mobile uses dual internal antennas that stand up to their surroundings and will avoid damage if chewed by varmints.
