Anyone using wireless trail cameras?

I want to put a couple on my moms property for security, any real world experiences, especially in the cold?

I got one for Christmas, and have had it on the side of the house testing it before I take it to the ranch to start mapping pig movements.  So far.... It’s been working great.  It’s been through some minor cold here with the two snowfalls we had since Jan 1, but nothing like the cold you get.

Still on the first set of batteries.  It has alerted me to some stuff in near real-time, and I like it.  it’s a Moultrie XV-6000.

Just some of the pics I had on my phone from it

Can you set the camera to send photos to your phone as soon as they are taken or do you need to access the camera from your phone to get the pictures?

It alerts me one push notification if I have new pictures, then I can view on the app on my phone/ tablet, or on a web portal.

It also has smart alerts where it will tell me if it’s a “Car” “buck” “doe”, or “person” in the photo.  Thats pretty cool that it says “new picture” you know its probably a squirrel, wind moving a tree, etc...  but if it says “person”, you know to take a look ASAP.

OK, thanks, I will have to see what the software does on the cameras I am looking at, they have some re-furbs on Camofire that are reasonably priced
