Like said above, stay away from spy point, customer service sucks, If you have a problem with a cam, you have e-mail them & wait for a reply. Sometimes it took an week to solve a problem.

I have six Cuddeback cameras that link together to extend the range from camera to camera and you can have up to 25 cameras all linked to one cell camera. If you use an armored cord and cuddebacks sun and shade solar panel with built in battery, they work perfectly. You can't have video, just pics on linked cameras. You can change settings on the cameras remotely, so you can stay away from them completely instead of going out and changing SD cards. I am very happy with them.

Clarity is great and they pull from the nearest cell signal. I bought two more Tuesday.

They do not send to a central unit like you mentioned, I think cuddeback do that ( cuddelink ). Any particular reason why you want them setup like that? Just curious.

The cameras will be in a basin in the mountains that has no service. However, there is service on the ridge above the lake. The cameras will send pictures to the mother camera on the ridge. That is the hope anyway.

Great idea Waggler I’m not sure if it can be done?

I had the most expensive/best up at my place 10 years ago but the cell service just wasn’t adequate. Tried a booster device but it didn’t work.

Ive hunted south texas ranches where lease holders had all sorts of setups sending pictures and video directly to their Dallas offices. Maybe searching options in that direction or keywords could help?

Just buy an individual spypoint micro or flex for $80 if you search the internet. The first 100 pics are free and if you set it right so it’s not looking right at a bait or water hole where critters are going to hang out for hours you won’t need to buy the data plan. I have 14 of them, and for the most part have had good luck in 4 years. I had to go pull them once and reconfigure the SD cards and had to have the tech helpline remotely update firmware on a couple. It’s not that big of a deal to do that every now and then. The tactacams and more expensive brands might be better (better pics maybe less maintenance ) but I’d rather get the last pictures of a bear destroying my camera and know I only lost $80 and not $200. I can tell what the animal is with spypoint photo quality and that’s all I care about.
