    For those of you looking to jump into the wireless trailcam game, I thought I'd a quick review on the Stealth cam I just purchased.

    The good:
    Daytime pics are excellent with bright bold colors.
    Setup, always a concern with cellular cams, is fairly straight forward.
    Comes with a sim card
    Many plans to choose from through AT&T-I bought the $25.00 for three months.
    Trigger speed is excellent
    Lots of setup options through the app.
    You can change camera settings through the app.

    The could be better:
    Night pics, as with most blackflash, are terrible
    The camera only sends pics to an app, although you can sync it with Google Drive to be able to send them to your PC.
    Sometimes there is a delay from the time it takes a pic to when it uploads. This may have something to do with cell signal strength.

    Well there you have it, a quick review with my limited experience with the unit. I'm sure the lists will grow the longer I use it.

    Blessings.........Pastorjim

    Probably haven't had it out enough to see how the batteries hold up?

    Are you able to put multiple cams on a single data plan, like cell phones or does each camera need a plan?

    I'm just guessing at this but I would think you would need a separate plan for each one since the Sim card is tied to that plan. Now the way I understand, if you have Verizon as your carrier for your own phone you can add a data plan for $5 bucks a month. This camera only works with AT&T though. Plus I don't have Verizon as the carrier for my phone. For my next wireless cam I am looking closely at the Spartan go cam. It will work with Verizon. And I think Covert makes one as well. Hope that answers your question.
