Been looking into purchasing a trail cam for my property that is 4 hrs away. With gas prices and my job, i dont make it back as often as I would like to. So I thought if I could get the trail cam pics sent to my email, it would help me keep track of whats happening. Anyone one using these?
Personally, I don't like the concept. I'm not saying that you would, but a "cheater" could potentially use this to his advantage by setting up multiple cameras in different locations to watch big bucks/turkeys and set up on them accordingly in a moments notice due to the pictures being sent to his phone/email almost instantly. In my opinion, I think they should recall these cameras and install a 24 hour delay to help eliminate potential problems and dishonest hunters. In your case, I think it would be a good idea and save you a lot of time and money. I hope by this post I haven't put ideas into anyone's head - future readers and honest hunters; I will be happy to delete this post if you think there are some hunters out there that may put this information to use.
I have a few Covert Special Ops Code Black and Love them !!! I have them on farms that are not close to me and they have payed for themselves the first season just in gas savings alone !!! I have them set up with solar panel to recharge the battery every day. My only problem is that after you have one you will want more !!!
24 hour delay is a horrible idea, I bet there are as many people that run these cameras for security than there are for scouting purposes. I've got three and one is on permanent security duty. Wouldn't do me any good to know someone robbed me yesterday. The chances of changing locations and a deer still being in the area are small anyway unless you're hunting a very small area.
I was thinking more or less along the lines of bait piles, food plots or mineral sites. None the less, photolabstudios asked about this for hunting purposes, not security. I am being misunderstood, but no big deal
