    Where did you get the cam and how much? It's on my list of things to buy. Maybe ask as a x-mas gift this year. I want one in the worst way. Excellent way to stay connected to hunting all year and fill my need and desire.

    I got it through a friend and he didn't like how long it took to get it ready to use so I bought it from him. I need to buy a sim yet and sd card been itching to get it set up. Should have it set up next week. I bought it for $250

    It will usually say on the package. If not you can go online and go to the manufacturer website

    Just a heads up they work the best with SanDisk cards. I talked to a tech to figure out why my camera was giving blank night pictures and he said that to be certain to use SanDisk

    with the technology of the sd cards now it shouldn't matter what brand you buy. its like with my gopro, i was having videos that would either crash or like some people said be blank and black, that is until i changed to HS. if you go with high speed the card can handle the faster refresh and you should be ok.

    I am just quoting what the actual Tech told me from Stealth Cam (GSM Outdoors) I personally agree that it should not matter the brand as long as its the correct form factor.

    What type of SIM card from T-Mobile are you guys using. I bought one yesterday and the camera said no network found

    Not always true, SD VS SDHC VS SDXC (UHS Speed Class), some cameras cannot read all types of SD cards (due to file allocation table differences). Also, you don't need a 30mb/s UHS-II card for a trail camera, a SD class 6 will work fine, unless you're shooting a crap ton of images in a burst mode, but even then, all my trail cameras use class 6 cheapo cards and I've never had an issue with them. Class 10 cards were designed specifically for still photographers in order to keep up with the burst modes on newer DSLR cameras. Class 6 is fully rated for HD video (depending on bitrate, which isn't a concern with a trail camera). Believe it or not, using a burst mode with photos is far more bandwidth heavy than video, especially when you're talking about the insane resolutions that DSLRs are now shooting at.
