I have 4 Spartans and 2 Spypoints. The Spartans are night and day better. The night time picture quality of the spy points is a joke.

You can tell whether its a deer or a dog.

Where is the best place to buy tactacam reveals

At this point any where you can find them. I bought 5 Friday was the last ones they had. Tactacam is not making anymore till next year because of parts supply issues with covid. Ebay has them priced way over retail. Most of what you find in-stock will be Verizon from what I seen when I was looking for them.

Moultrie all the way

I have a Moultrie 6000 and a 7000. Zero issues from either. Moultrie has a 2 year warranty and added a 1 year extension. I would love some coverts or Spartans but no way I’m chancing them getting stolen.

I have a SPYPOINT with zero issues as well. The cell link was a bust and the cheapest models had a lot of issues as well. The one I have us thE $200 model

Keep checking scheels. They'll have some every 3 or 4 days.

Thanks, been looking in ebay, found them for $150 there, but are $99 on scheels

Looks like some are buying them up and putting on ebay.

We've run 6 Moultrie cameras (5 with MV2 modems) and had very few issues. Had a little firmware issue last year with one camera and had a modem just randomly stop working, but Moultrie sent a replacement out within a week. I have no idea how many pictures they've taken since we put them out in August (thousands have been taken), but we've only refreshed modem batteries once in 2.5 months. Most of them are set up to send 4 times per day. So the battery life is really good IMO. The cost is probably higher than any other service, which kinda stinks. But I don't plan on going away from Moultrie any time soon.

My spypoint micro has been wonderful but the cell links are awful. They need a firmware update every couple weeks. Ive kept the woods stirred up from updating firmware. I used to hate Moultie MV2 but its been doing great so far this year.

Update on the Moultrie....... I moved it to another location, which is higher up on a hill, and so far so good on the pics. The signal was showing 30% at my previous location. It is now showing 60% and I am getting pictures instantly

Spartans have worked well for me. No issues at all

Bottom line is they are all junk. That industry is ripe for a quality product that works consistently. I will say Spartan is the least junky. Picture quality on spy point is horrible. Trigger speed on Coverts are crap. Ive got two on my driveway and don't always get a pic of a vehicle. Hunting buddy has 6 Spartans on a couple of farms we lease in Illinois. If 5 are working right at any given time we call that good.

Reconyx cameras are outstanding quality but the prices are beyond the reach of most of us, including me.

Started the Cell Cam game with three SP Link S which worked fine until they had a server crash and app issues that along with their horrible customer service drove me to Reconyx. I have had GREAT service out of them, picture quality is not great but okay picks up cell signals a lot better then SP with the stock antenna, I had the SP booster, which is a joke, on all of the SPs. Reconyx will transmit on low (lithium) batteries a lot better then SP. If you add the price of the Booster to the Link S your right at the price of the Reconyx

You can register your cameras with Covert. The newer ones have GPS also. If somebody tries to steal them, then you can get work with them to try and recover and password protect your pictures.
