I can remember using a thing called a trail timer. It was a small plastic box with a digital clock and a piece of thread that you stretched across a trail. The target animal would pull the plastic insert out of a slot and mark the time. That was your only choice at trail monitoring. I never dreamed that one day I could sit in my easy chair at home and have a 20 second old digital photo from 100 miles away come to my cellular phone. Incredible. We are living Buck Rogers and take it for granted !

I am hugely disappointed that the wifi doesn't mean that the camera can connect with the home wifi. ... A cheap cell phone that I turned into a time-lapse camera, would start uploading to the cloud when I got it home in the driveway. I had to do nothing just throw it in the car overnight to get my photos. This allowed me to use it as part of the home security to see anyone coming on the property. No cell service needed unless I take it remotely for an area that I need to monitor..... The problem with the cell phone is that they break if the temperature drops too low, the lcd breaks. Also, I could not keep the wife from unplugging the cell phone. Also android is too unstable. And power banks make for horrible, unreliable battery backup, due to the protection circuitry. I can do motion detection or time-lapse with a cell phone, however motion detection on a smart phone requires the camera to be constantly opened and battery get sucked big time. A 36 large agm backup would be needed to get a week.

@dennisgarber

2 жыл бұрын

I guess if it did connect to the wifi, then upload to a free cloud service, wifi hard drive, free network share, then many people would not but the cell plan. However, for myself, I would still buy the cell service, since I need to see remotely with as little delay as practical (1min/15min/30min/60min/120min/3hr/4hr/6hr/8hr/12h/24hr needs to be an option for the cell upload period options. Longer periods means longer battery life but more blindness, with less of the cellular concept and advantage over a non cell trail camera..... I am totally happy with low resolution cell images, the high Def on the card, or at 10 cents each. Obviously, webp is 2x as efficient as jpg, which is why Google photos uses webp, and every image browser and web browser now supports webp.

@@JaseOutdoors I started with spycam off the playstore,which worked great, except it overheated and drained the cheap phones that I tried. I then tried a bunch more apps, which all sucked. Then I realized that I could easily script my own time-lapse with tasker. I ended up doing a script with two 15 minute loops that I scheduled for every 31 minutes from 7 am to 9 pm. I read variables from the text messages, so I could set the upload every 15 or 30 minutes to Dropbox or Google. I used webp, not jog, because of the better quality and size of webp. I could text the phone and change the interval from 1 minute, 2min40 sec, 5 min, or 15 minutes, which were the intervals that I found useful. Of course, if no cell available, it would just keep the pictures on the SD. If it transferred, I had a variable to delete, or just move to another folder. Since I scripted it myself, I could grab 1 high definition photo every 15 or 30 minutes. Since I was using a $5 per month att plan or a $6 sprint plan, I would keep the data as low as possible, which also saves battery. I was interested in who, when, and what what they were doing. Not especially extreme details. Since android was so unstable, determined to kill protected apps, so power hungry, forced updates and reboots, data expensive, I felt like I was lucky to get the minimum information without a glitch. Since 2015, they did save my butt, probably more than I even realize. Cameras keep everyone honest.

Maybe I need to watch the video again, I think that you said that it only sends once a day or every minute? if you send every minute you will kill your battery very quickly!!!! but if you send once a day, you will not be able to see what's going on. I think about every 15 minutes uploading would be good and save the battery. I could live with every 30 minutes... Spypoint does every 2 hour, or instant upload. Instant upload is out, due to battery life, which I learned kills battery when writing a program for an android phone. So, I backed off the upload to the cloud to every 15, 30 min or 1 hour, which saved a great deal of battery. This is why cell phone batteries drain so quickly : Google play services eats a ton of battery constantly syncing calendars, email, text, etc.... On the other hand, every 2 hours is too long between uploading, but is slightly tolerable. Once every 24, and it might as well be a non cellular trail camera.

There is a setting that you can have the camera update one a day or instant. In instant the camera stays awake and drain more batteries. You can set it to time lapse mode but that burns batteries as well. Don't believe there's a way to connect it to your home wifi. I didn't even think to try.

Another reviewer of this camera claims that instant means it will check for updates “every time it takes and uploads a photo,” not necessarily “stays awake constantly checking for updates.” Either way it will burn up more battery, and not really sure which is correct. Staying awake constantly seeking updates seems way more expensive on battery.

Just screen shot that photo to your phone and zoom that photo in on your cell. Don't pay more

I bought it. So far it's garbage. Why? Cause the pics sent are so grainy . You can't maker nothing out. The tight wads at Tacta Cam, will give you the HD for $5 for 50 pics. Well it's worse than that. It's more like $5 per session. So you better have 50 that you really want right then and there. If the pics on the card are like this. I'll just stop using it. I'll find someone else. Who won't rip you off for every little feature. Management at Tacta Cam , are ruining the company with their tight wad ways. What a bunch cheap skates.

Interesting. I'm not sure what you mean by $5 for 50 per session. I've only used the HD photos a couple of times cause the thumbnails have been so good, I haven't had to download HD versions. If you really want high quality, look into the Spartan Cams. Just reviewed that a few weeks ago and that thing is amazing.... except the cam is $500

No customer support whatever................spend a lot of money on something that once you need help there is no one

Well, yea you need cell reception. All cell cams need cell reception. You can change the settings from the phone remotely. But the cam needs cell reception. And not sure why you'd wanna use two different kinds of batteries, but again, most trail cams are like that.
