I bought the cudielink IR trail cameras this year which is camera to camera tech. No cell phone service needed you just check a home camera. The tech works, but the one huge down fall to them is they run through batteries! I run lithum always have and my old cameras would last an entire year on lithum, these cameras about 68 dayys, and they take 12 a piece! So just thought I would throw that out there for anyone who is considering them. If I had to buy again probably would not go this route!
