good

I have been wanting to check out a cell trail cam for some time and decided to give this one a go. This camera has many positive aspect going it's way. It comes with a SD and Sim card already installed. The directions provide very little detail on options other than download the app and follow prompts. I experienced no issues syncing the camera with the app once I had my account created. It comes with 300 mb of free data transfer but the documentation and description didn't provide any further information. When you setup the camera, it takes a couple of minutes to activate the sim card but I am still not completely sure which carrier it is using. It mentions AT&T, Verizon, and you can bring your own sim card but there is very little documentation about this process.Whatever carrier the camera is using, it seems to be working fine in the hills of Southern Ohio. The documentation doesn't discuss rates either but you can find this information in the App which breaks down to: 1 GB/30 Days $9.99, 3 GB / 30 Days $15.99, 6 GB/180 Days $49.99 or 6 GB / 360 Days $54.99. The amount of data used will vary but I have had the camera up for 2 days now and have already made most my way through the 300 mb just trying to figure out features. I don't know if the phone connects to the camera every time you use the app but I do find you could go through data pretty quickly. There is no clear setting of Video vs Still pictures but when I look at event history I just see pictures currently. You are able to view the camera live through the app also. The camera offers an option of IR for night vision or LED lights to light up the area. It comes set to Auto by default but I would recommend changing this to IR if you are using for a trail camera. It has another checkbox to play a siren when movement is detected to scare off whatever but at least this is off by default. A setting I am used to seeing on other standard trail cameras is a 15, 30, 45 second delay between pictures so you don't just keep getting pictures of the same thing if it is hanging around in the area for a bit. I have not found any setting similar to this on this device. If you have a deer hanging around a feeder for awhile, you could use up a lot of data just on the same deer. It is nice that the rechargeable battery seems to stay pretty charged through the solar panel. I also like the motorized turret style camera so you can pan the image if you need to focus on something at a different angle without being there. The camera housing left no area to be able to run a cable lock through which was easily remedied drilling the preexisting hole a the top of the body just a little larger but I don't understand why many manufacturers don't think of this feature when making the body of their device to allow it to be locked securely.The software does indicate that you can link multiple cameras into the same plan if desired. I was also able to share the camera with a friend pretty easily once he downloaded the app and created an account. The quality of the photos have been pretty good with most action so far occurring at night. The image itself doesn't have the time and date stamp on it like many trail cameras but you have this information in the app while you browse the images.Overall, I would say this is a good start from a security camera company producing a trail camera but there are some other key features (ie. picture delay segments, clear photo vs video setting) and concerns for limiting data usage that can still be addressed to make it better and more affordable.

This outdoor surveillance camera has it all. I was happy to receive it, and I had no trouble setting it up. The SIM card allows to purchase more data so that it can continue to stream live feed from wherever you choose to place the camera. It’s camouflage design is perfect for keeping it unnoticed by wildlife and even people. The solar panel supplies, the constant power it needs to maintain all of the features, active and functioning. The price for this item is fair. It feels sturdy and looks to be durable. The picture quality is amazing, and the night vision is a much needed feature.

I got the Vyze-Link Cellular Trail Camera to use in my backyard. There are a lot of small animals that I like to feed and watch. I know this is probably intended for the great outdoors but us living in the city like to use them, too. It was easy to mount with the long nylon strap. It works great, and takes sharp pictures and videos with 1080p. The night vision works well too. Operating the tilt and pan on the app was very responsive. The solar panel kept it charged up all the time. I never had a problem with the battery strength. The only issue I have is that you have to use a SIM chip to use it. They give you a free 30 trial but after that it’s pretty expensive and it does not work without a subscription. I tried and tried to get it to take pictures and video on to my cell phone, but it was impossible. Because of that it was useless for me. For someone that’s really into trail cams and you’re okay with paying for a subscription, then you would love this camera. Not so much for me.

I love that I don't have to worry about batteries for this trail camera. I actually use this for house security and it works great! Videos turn out wonderful and pictures. The installation is easy, and so is the setup. I haven't had any problems yet. I would strongly suggest buying it for a cheaper version for security.

Camera is pretty easy to set up. I assumed this would use wifi but it uses cellular data you have to pay for. I wasn’t aware of this and misunderstood it in the Description. If you want to have a solar game camera and just pay for it one, this isn’t the camera for you. If you don’t mind paying every month for service then you will like this camera. Just be aware that it needs cell service to work. If you’re in a remote area with no cell service it wont work.

Super simple set up right out of the box. Sim card and memory card are installed prior to delivery. Keep in mind, it uses a sim card and you only get 30 days free. Anything after that, you will have to pay a monthly subscription fee. I set this up in the woods to keep an eye on some pesky beavers. Unfortunately, they are most active at night and I haven't got any great footage yet. The app associated with this camera seems new and it isn't as pretty and functional as some bigger name apps, but it works. Overall, pretty happy, just wish there was another option than a cell phone plan to run this thing.

This is great, would be better if it also had wifiHowever this fits my needs.Easy to set up.
