Spartan SRI-IR Camera

[Bigslam51]

Right out of the box these cameras feel very well made. There's a rubber gasket to keep any water out. The preview screen is nice and allows you to scroll through pics and delete any. Setup was a breeze, camera allows you to choose between 3,5, and 8mp. The battery life should be outstanding considering it takes 12AA's. Camera has a 2 year warranty which is also nice. I'll be deploying one tomorrow and the other on Friday.

If ya dont mind what was the price on them?

Those look good. Twelve batteries could get expensive though.

I started running there Spartan Wireless model a few weeks ago.

It is by far my favorite tool I have picked up in a few years.

They are still on sale at Native Outdoors as well.

25 bucks gets you 1GB of Data for 3 months. Which should be more than enough photos at a one minute interval.

The pics arent bad either.

Why why why do these cam manufactures continue to go with AT&T. Verizon's coverage is far better. I run a Covert that uses the AT&T network and have had more dead zons than areas with good signal. In spots where the cam can't catch a good enough signal to send a pic my verizon phone will have 3G. And this is up here in the flats of central ohio, I can imagine down in the hollows of SO you can forget it.

A couple guys I know are running them and are pretty happy with them so far, the 2 year warranty pretty much sealed the deal as most other cams only have a 1 year warranty.

$450 for the camera plus $3-5/mo if you have Verizon. DId I read that correct?

At that price I would need a professional reason to purchase them.

I agree. Setting up outdoor security cameras is cheaper. If only I had WiFi I all the woods I hunted. . . .

 

[Bigslam51]

That's pretty cheap for a wireless camera. I've seen them cheaper than that elsewhere.

That is correct. $5 a month to add the device to your account and then it just uses your existing data.
If you use the AT&T version they sell what is called a mobile data pass. In a nutshell you get 1GB of Data (they claim 10,000 images) that lasts for 90 days for $25.
Below is a snip of my current data session.



$350 was a lot for me to pony up for 1 camera. I dont think I had ever paid more than 110 for one before. I sold a couple things I didn't need and bought one of these and I love it.
There is something exciting about getting up in the morning and flipping through the previous evenings pics.

Oh nice!! Going to research the Verizon model.

Not around here. I had 2 phones on both carriers for 4 years. AT&T wins in SE Ohio more often than not...

Why is Phil groaning in his stand?!? lmao
