Game cam that sends image to cloud and/or phone?

I'm looking for a game type camera (stand alone, battery operated, night vision, motion detection, etc) that not only stores the image on the SD card in the camera but also sends a copy of the image to some type of cloud storage, as well as sends the image to my android phone at the time of image capture.

Anybody use something like this?

Thanks

You'd either need a wireless camera that is close enough to a router in your home, or you would need a cellular camera, which isn't going to be a cheap option..

Here's a few that are out on the market.. You would need to make sure you have cell service where you place the cameras... This wouldn't be an option for me since the closest I pick up cell service is 18 miles from my property..

For someone like me, that lives 300 miles from his property, it would be great for keeping an eye on the place, or being able to scope out the best hunting places without having to check the camera in person...

Or, it allows you to watch your hunting area without disturbing it and getting your scent all over the place until you're ready to go there...

HT isn't about being frugal.. it's about how to do the things you need to do...

Thanks, one location might be in range of our home wireless signal, I'll have to check. The other location is more than a few miles away but it does have a cell signal, though just barely.

I was considering a cell camera for our place, until I pulled out my phone and realized I had no cell service... Then I got to wondering how close it was... I knew the place was in the sticks.. but WOW.. 18 miles to even get roaming...

I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do about internet... I had satellite about 10 years ago and I will never do that again..

I've not figured out how I can put cameras in to use a phone line either... so I'm having to pay a neighbor to keep an eye on the place for us... Cell cameras would be so much cheaper if I had a signal..

I wish you luck...

I don't know if they make such a device, but it would have to work off a cell signal, so you'd need a monthly service charge for it. Like a cell phone has or the aircard that allows the use of a computer where ever there is a cell signal.

Yep.. they make cell devices.. that's what I posted links to... You can get cell service for them for as long or short of period of time you need.
