Trail camera

Postby Norbetow » 08 31, 2025 •  [Post 1]

What trail camera brand do you use, and why? If you have a cellular camera, what’s your data plan like? As the deer season comes to an end, I’m considering switching to a new brand like Exodus, Barn Owl, Black Gate, or others. Currently, I have three cameras: two on cellular (Tactacam and Magic Eagle) and one not (Wildview).

4 Tactacams here. $85 a year x 4. If they all got hit by lightning tonight I would buy 4 more.

Tactacam here too. Really like them. About to deploy a 3.0 this weekend, I hear the pictures are much better.

Tactcam I have 7

Several weeks ago, I added four 3.0, with the recent trade-in program and sale at Cabelas i got them for $75 each.
I had three of the originals

Last year I had the middle data plan.

This year I went to the basic $5 per camera.

I have one solar panel, and the other 6 I use auxiliary rechargeable batteries.
