Wouldn’t matter what provider you had in most of my areas, there is zero cell service for many many miles. Just means I don’t need to spend the extra cash for that feature lol

Glad you brought the Tasco cams up. I have used all manner of trail cams over the years. Cheap to expensive. They all had good points and bad and they all eventually failed. The Tasco cams for $32 or so have held up very well and I will be buying quite a few more before they are discontinued or revamped. Will just store them so when the current models die, and they all do, I can replace them from my stock. If one or two are stolen you are only out $40.00 per cam with batteries and sd card. I was surprised at how good of photos that they take and game animals do not seem spooked by them. Chris

I want some mainly for scouting fox and bobcat. Do the Tasco pick up well on animals that size?

I like running 10 game cams at a time so cost is a factor. They all will fail and need to be replaced. Some will get stolen or vandalized. Chris

Don't seem to bother the wildlife, have had does come up and lick the cam at night and a fawn laid down under one, had a hour of video of just the ears twitching. They are regularly triggered by leaves being blown, snow, squirrels and the neighbor's dog. AA batteries and 16 MB card last me about 4-5 months of 15 sec video/trigger. Range from up close (0') out to about 45' at night.

Spade how long do the batteries last? Depends on whether you're using just pics or video and for how long 10,15,30 seconds and/or sound. I sent mine up or it only shoots at certain times, most just at night. Durig the summer I ran the cameras for 6 months on video before having to change them. Right now, they have run 2 months, in the cold. I like the fact they have extra cameras on the sides for wider shots. There customer service is top notch in my book, they will walk you thru any problems you might be experiencing. Here is another pic I got the other day:
