The Difference Between WIFI And Cellular Trail Game Cameras

November 19, 2022


Do you know how wireless trail cameras work?

Regardless of the basic photo trap function, there are more people heading to the ability of photo access without getting close to the camera itself.

 

WIFI and network-featured models can be considered wireless indeed but still have great differences in working mode and footage checking. The below info may helpful for you to figure out which type is more suitable for your needs.

 

The WIFI model is one of the most favorable items in the outdoor market. It adopts the 2.4Ghz point-to-point signal connection to realize the footage checking, download, and setting management. Therefore the user only needs to activate the signal by a click on a specific app and make sure the device is within range of the wifi signal. The effective range is roughly about 15 to 30 meters in open space.

 

When we talk about Cellular, your mind may pop up with a SIM card and the data plan. Yeah, the antenna is a must-have as well that is generally on the top of the camera. Just as the smartphone does, it can automatically switch the signal from GPRS to 4G accordingly to the area signal. One of the impressive features for users.

 

Footage Acess

Except for the traditional checking photo by SD card, the wireless connection models offer your freedom of checking the footage. The traditional cellular models can send a certain amount of pictures based on your setting.
