Looking for one of those that send pics and video to my phone. Finally got cell service on a property I own and want to monitor for security.

Has anyone had good luck with a specific brand or model? Amazon reviews are all over the place.

I have a Browning that takes great pictures and video. I don’t use any of the cellular type of transmission so have no idea how it would work.

I use my Autel Evo drone when scouting deer on our Northern Michigan property.

I've also had very good luck with Browning cameras over the years compared to other brands, but none have had cellular functionality.

trailcampro.com conducts inhouse testing on a regular basis that I've found interesting and consistent with my observations and field performance. They also test cellular cameras, so maybe you'll find this review interesting. I've purchased from them in the past, but have no other affiliation with them.

Here's some info on what they test. https://www.trailcampro.com/pages/trail-camera-tests

Please report back with what you purchase and your field experience over time.

I've had great luck with Bushnell Trophy cams. I have my original 2008 units that still work fine, plus others I have purchased over the years. But, this is for pics only, no experience with cellular type.
