Why do you want to transmit such a large pic? The wind today has my Covert pretty busy unfortunately. I can see maybe wanting high-res pics to pull off the memory card, but sending 14MP pics outside of LTE coverage, which is what most leases would have, is going to take a bit and consume some bandwidth.

I imagine the Bushnell offering is like the Covert offer... behind the scenes they use AT&T, I just signup with Covert and get 5000 pics a month sent via their iOS app for $15 a month. 5000 pics is 160 a day, I'm not using anywhere near that. Pics I get are low-res, I can see I'm feeding more cows than hogs right now, but 5MP pics (what I have it set for) are on the camera if I want to see them.

Not trying to convert you to Covert, just recommending you evaluate the plan they offer before rolling your own.

I will say this, it makes pig killing fun. Get a pic at camp and then see if you can get to the feeder quick enough at 1 am.

..again im trying to find a good wireless camera cheaper than the 500$ that the good ones cost.. we'll see..

OK, so now try the Covert. You can get a Wagi antenna off of Amazon for less than $100 if your reception is that poor. I put one on a long section of electrical conduit strapped to a t-post at my OK lease, worked like a champ.

BUSHNELL PRE-PAID DATA PLANS

The camera performs on data provided by Bushnell at no charge, for the first 30 days. At that point, renewals are as economical as $9.99/month. All data communication to and from the camera operates on the reliability of the AT&T network. You do NOT have to have AT&T service on your current phone plan, nor do you have to sign a contract with AT&T since the data is provided through Bushnell and renewals are provided also through Bushnell.

Please check the coverage map to confirm the Trophy Cam Wireless has coverage the area you intend to use it.

Low Resolution Thumbnail Images
Thumbnail images are low-resolution and provide a good indication of the animal or subject that triggers your camera. The resolution on these lower, but viewable images, provide a good indication of what the full resolution “high res” image captured. This allows you to see a lot more images from the camera at a more reasonable monthly price to gauge what is in front of your camera.

Data Package Monthly Thumbnails Price Per Month
No Data* 0 $0.00
Maintenance Mode** 0 $6.99
Economy 1,500 $9.99
Basic 3,000 $19.99
Deluxe 7,000 $29.99
Elite 15,000 $59.99
High Resolution Images
High resolution images are full 3,5 or 8MP images saved to the SD card on the camera. You can request these full resolution images remotely over the wireless network and also receive your images directly off of the SD card. This allows for much better viewing and zooming to clearly see the full quality of the game/subject you are viewing.

Options Images
Per Image $0.99
10 Image Pack $7.99
25 Image Pack $16.99

Now, if a vendor could come up with a cost efecctive game cam that allowed remote access management via an https browser console, I bet they'd sell a ton.

I'm not the resident Covert-Fanboy, it's just what I happen to have.

What do you mean by remote access mgmt? I can change anything on my Covert from my phone (browser also) that you can do with the camera in your hand. My plan is $14.99 for 5000 pics.
