I have an old Moultrie, probably 6 years old and still going strong. AA batteries. I just bought a Tactacam Reveal SK, which is my first cellular camera. It has a solar panel that is keeping the battery at 100%. Have had it out 2 months now. I used it close to the house the first month, and was in KY at my sister in law's place. Baited deer in the back yard and had 30-50 pictures a night, a few during the day. Now it's in northern Michigan and not much action now. Still 100% battery and a few squirrel pictures. Deer up there yard up in the winter time, so should start seeing deer soon. Happy so far, cell plan was $120 a year unlimited pictures

Moultrie has been my favorite. After the post it was strapped to fell over into the field and was found with a brush hawg I purchased a stealth cam. Excellent battery life but quality of pictures are less than moultrie.

I’ll update my post. Stealth cam didn’t last 2 years and decided to quit taking pictures this year. I contacted stealth cam and they must be awfully busy since they failed to get back to me.(it’s only been 3 months)
I purchased a cheaper bushnell and get the same excellent battery life but surprisingly the best pictures I have ever got and it was $40 cheaper than the stealth cam.
