[QUOTE="ElkStalkR, post: 3543537, member: 2292"] So after a season of using these cellular spypoints they haven't been terrible for me, but I wouldn't say they are great either. Currently both of them I have put out last fall are still working and sending pictures. Some things I have discovered with these cameras over trial and error: 1. ) You absolutely must get the correct SD card AND format them each and every time you put them in your camera. 2.) Do not waste your time with alkaline batteries you have to have lithium or rechargeable battery pack or they won't last long 3.)FURTHERMORE you can only upload pictures to your app once a day or you will burn thru the batteries in less than a week, even the rechargeables can't keep up if you have it upload everytime it takes a pictures the camera will die. 4.) The little cell antenna sucks. You need to purchase an extended antenna, even in spots where your phone gets good reception that camera can have spotty reception. Good news is the extended antenna solved my cell reception issues. Once I figured these problems out my rating of this camera went from an F to a C. LOL. They aren't great, BUT I have yet to experience the cameras simply not working or not connecting to the network. Mind you this is the first year with them. I'll let you know if year 2 is a complete failure! LOL [/QUOTE]
