Cellular Trail Camera Subscription Plans

 

Modern trail cameras have come a long way from their inception, and many of the most popular cameras today are cellular models. These cell cams allow you to check on your photos and videos from anywhere, which has changed the way the modern hunter scouts.

 

Every company has a different subscription plan for its cameras. Figuring out the different plans by brand can be confusing and overwhelming to hunters who are not familiar with the brand or are switching over from another kind of trail camera. In this article, we will break down the cellular camera plans for the brands that we carry.

A quick note: the cell service that a camera uses has nothing to do with your personal phone plan. You do not need a Verizon phone to use a Verizon cell camera. Although if you know that a certain company gets a better signal in your area, it would be beneficial to buy a camera that uses their cell service.

Spartan Trail Cameras

 

Spartan trail cameras use both Verizon and AT&T cell towers. When shopping for a trail camera, it will say which carrier the trail camera will work with, allowing you to choose your preferred carrier.

Spartan Shared Camera Plan

Spartan also has a new shared data plan. The shared data plan is great for those who have multiple Spartan cellular trail cameras on their hunting property.

 

The shared plan allows you to put multiple cameras under the same plan instead of setting up individual plans for each camera, which can be a major hassle and is quite a bit to keep track of, with the spartan shared plan getting all your cameras put onto the plan is quick and simple.

 

With a Spartan Camera shared plan, each camera adds 5 dollars per month to your bill, and there aren’t any fees for activation or deactivation. You can have up to 10 cameras on a single plan, and they do not limit your data so you can have an unlimited number of images and videos.
