Verizon guys with text/email capable game cameras?

[Cam-Mac]

I need to change how i operate/check my camera card situation. If i could have them emailed/texted to me that would be fantastic. I did a search and read through a few threads but wasnt a lot of info on Verizon and game cams.

I have service where i need to put these cameras, so not worried about that. The one spot that is borderline i am not against using the antenna.



My questions are:

-What are my camera brand/model options without breaking the bank?

-What do i need to do/change on my Verizon plan?

-How many cameras can i set up? Am i limited to "one per line" or can i get several?


Thanks for the help/suggestions.

I thought all cameras had to run on the GSM networks to send pics and that means AT&T or T-Mobile. Verizon is not a GSM network. Maybe there are cameras for Verizon also but I couldn't find any when I was looking so I went with AT&T sim cards.

Please explain bowslayer...

You have verizon, but it wouldnt work so you got at&t sim cards? How does that work?

Yes, that's what I did. Went to the AT&T store and got a SIM card with unlimited texts for $20 per month. They will text or email to you.

The problem with that one is the cost per month. If you go with a GSM network like AT&T you get unlimited pics for $20 per month. With smartscouter its $50 per month for 1000 pics.

So i can just go into at&t and get a SIM card only? I dont have to get anything else? Like a line or contract with them?

IMO the cheapest/best option is the dlc covert black ops. Just go buy an AT&T go phone SIM card and get the 9.99/mnth 1000 text feature. I love mine. I love waking up and checking email to see what came into the feeder. Only problem is the pic quality is a bit choppy (see attached).

That is correct. Go to the store and tell them you need a SIM card. Get a pay as you go voice plan and add unlimited texting to it for $20 per month. Voice usage is .10 per minute but you will never use the voice plan, just the unlimited texts.

It's only 9.99 if you add a line to your AT&T account. It's $20 if you're not already an AT&T customer.

Not sure if this will help or not but a lot of the new Verizon phones now have sim cards.
