Hunting questions

Will deer notice the camera at night?

Not with 940 or 950 nm infrared. There is no visible red glow, which is why every trail camera in the range uses no-glow arrays.

Does it work where phones have one bar?

Often yes. The external 5 dB antenna holds weaker signal than a phone does, and photos wait on the card until the network is back.

Is it legal to use cellular cameras for hunting?

Rules differ by state and season. Some states limit cellular cameras on public land during the season, so check local regulations.
