"Smart Scouter sends pictures directly to your computer and cell phone

 

Do you ever feel like you are in the wrong place at the wrong time when chasing that monster buck? Ever get the in intuition that you might be on last week’s rub line, or setting downwind of a scrape that has done dead? The Smart Scouter Trail Camera System might just be in place to solve all those questions and equations. As hunters’ we’re constantly aware and reminded that mature bucks do not get to their trophy potential by making mistakes nor allowing predators to easily untangle their habits. That is why the Smart Scouter team has developed the next generation of wildlife monitoring. The Smart Scouter Cellular Surveillance System wirelessly send images the users cell phone and Smart Scouter account at http://www.smartscouter.com/. The system allows hunters, from anywhere in the world, to monitor their favorite hidden post without entering or disrupting the woods. This game monitoring innovation won the Smart Scouter Team the outdoor industry’s most prestigious award in 2007, Field and Streams Best of Best.

 

Save time, money and gas as well by not traveling to your trail cameras just to check the pictures. The Smart Scouter features fast trigger speeds and colored day photos. The 50 LED infrared invisible flash bulbs extent the nighttime range to 50 feet, and deliver crisp, quality, black and white images. The menu is very user friendly, and navigates quickly. From the website the user can manage their Smart Scouter unit, pictures and change any of the operational settings. From the site users can also view real time wireless signal strength and battery power consumption. Images are stamped with time and date, and be can viewed, emailed, downloaded, moved to favorites and/ or deleted. This is a great system for groups, clubs and outfitters because photos can be shared in real time. The onboard battery will last up to six weeks, and the external battery can be purchased giving the Smart Scouter 4 to 6 months of continued use. Three, Passive Infrared Sensors (PIR) have low, medium and high setting allowing the user to minimize false triggers and set PIR sensitivity custom for real woods application. The Smart Scouter System can also be used as a non wireless trail camera similar to other products on the market today. Simply go the unit and retrieve the CF card. Thus in extremely remote areas where cellular connectivity is not possible the unit still operates as a best in class trail camera.

 

The cost of buying the Smart Scouter System is impressively low for all the value it adds. For $649 an individual can purchase the unit, backend website account, battery, charger and a ready to operate cellular system. A low monthly wireless fee of $14.99 can be froze to $7.99 for non-active months. A $.04 per image uploaded charges to the users account for small resolution images. If a user exceeds 500 images in a month, the cost per image discounts 50%, $.02. This essentially allows an average user to uploaded 300 images in a month for under $25. The user has the ability to switch to and from higher resolutions images anytime from their web account. Many users have also found other applications, such as remote security, to utilize the Smart Scouter during different times of the year. Wow, when one looks at the cost of gas, valued time and intelligent tactics implied this is a no-brainer for people serious about their wildlife monitoring. I know for me, the Whitetail is now in danger. "

Yeah, I was just doing some more research and saw the multrie system. Thanks

We use the Moultrie for our outfit and love it. The camera takes very good pictures and we get the pics very quickly. I actually have a picture of the deer I shot during my muzzy hunt about 4 minutes before I shot him. We are adding some more this year just to save some time in the field and to stay out of the area more. David

No, let me tell you what was cool about the whole thing. I was about 12 feet up in a blind, watched this buck walk infront of the camera, got an email photo of the buck, looked at the photo of a nice buck, wishing he was going to walk infront of my location so I could launch an arrow, then he pops out into the open 200yds from me, and as I am watching him threw my binos, David lets the Muzzy loose, and buck down!

 

On the topic at hand, Go with the Moultrie Setup! If you have any questions about it let me know and I will get you what ever info you need.

 

You can buy it from Payson Outfitters, who is a Sponsor on this site. Ben

Move to Montana! If you didn't read the fine print in their law with trail cameras, you can still use them, JUST NOT DURRING THE ESTABLISHED SEASON!!! They can still use them prior to the opening day!

Having a trail cam pic taken four minutes before a Kill shot is during the hunting season ...... I guess I should have been more specific .... but glad to know you read the law as I did ..... Keep up the Hard work

[Str8Shot]

oh and if you think things out how many weeks of the year in AZ is there not a commissioned hunt going on in many units ... it is not species specific but even if it was then No cams for elk Majority of the year due to OTC tags and none in the field open of archery season .... Sounds like a winner to me ......

My use of a trail cam is not just to pattern game, or to "pick out" the one I will be after... I am an outdoorsman first and foremost, not just a hunter. I love wildlife and I love to see whats out there. I use the trail cam just as much to get photos of wildlife. You never know what kind of photos you will get, and that's what most of us love about it. You hear people talk about how setting cams is "addicting". If it wasnt enjoyable, it wouldn't get addicting. I am soooooo tired of people regulating my fun just because you don't share my same enjoyment. Just stop already. We know you disagree with the use. Don't use them then and leave me alone. You should run for congress, you would fit right in.

[Broken Wheels]

Where's the love man? Pretty cool how some of us want to regulate some things but don't want government regulating us. Yet here we are free to voice our opinions without fear of repercussions from anyone (for now) and yet we still can't seem to "live and let live". Cameras don't harvest wildlife, people harvest wildlife! Hey wait, haven't we heard that before but in relation to guns and people? Better to have cameras being shot at critters then guns, especially out of season aye? Enjoy life ya'all as one day we wont be able to do what we do now and then what's left, grumpy old bastards venting on our favorite web site? Peace out!!

Man people are so funny ..... First and foremost any guy on this site that uses one, bought and used their first trail cam to try to enhance his chances of a successful hunt PERIOD ...... If you say otherwise your straight up lying..... Are the pics cool.... yes ... is it addicting most likely, but a big part of your addiction comes from the fact you will try harvesting what you see .... If it was about the photos you would spend weeks in ground blinds with Much better photo gear taking pictures .... Sorry I am old school on Hunting and don't agree with Baiting and trail cams , but just as you can spew your opinions I am free to mine .... You can spin it anyway you want it so you feel good about how you HARVEST a specific game but If they took Away our rights to hunt on Public Lands you would not waste the Time and $$$$$$ to put out a trail cam , And the fact that your an a s s and make a comment about me fitting in when it comes to congress proves you assume to much about people that have a different opinion than you .... People like you that make stupid comments are the ignorant ones period ..... I am a hunter and could care less about trail cams let them take the things away I will still hunt .... question is will you ????
