I have had a Spypoint Cellular camera up for a couple years inside my camera and it has been great.
But it sees no weather and is always plugged in. I am able to use the free plan with it because I will never reach the monthly photo transmission since I shut the camera off when I am there and it is only on when folks aren’t supposed to be there.

Looking to add one outside on the entry and the Amazon reviews of Spypoints as of late are not too good for ones that see outside use.

Looking for quality pictures, don’t really care about video. I know AT&T service works the best there. Would like an affordable unlimited transmission plan because it will be sending lots of deer and coyote pictures, and a few of my bear.
Reliable solar would be a plus because winter it may be 5 months of me not being there depending upon how bad a winter we have.

Tactacam Reveal X Gen 2 for about $120. I've got 7 of them and they are outstanding. I use Energizer lithium batteries and they last a long, long time, even after hundreds of photos and sub-zero temps.

A close second is the Moultrie Edge, which doesn't require an SD card and is not tied to any particular carrier, as it picks up the strongest nearby signal.

I've been running 3 of the Gen 1 Reveal X's for well over a year now and I'm a fan as well.

Got them plugged into Reaktor solar panels made by Elusive Wildlife, don't have to put batteries in the cameras because they're built into the panels.

I have a Stealth Cam Command Pro that works quite well.
$20/mo for unlimited with up to 5 cameras (I only run the one though).

The multi cans camera plan is $50/mo (+5 per camera)

Wowzers!! That’s nearly double all the rest I have looked at.
Does that include video transmission or something?

Tactacam comes out to about $12/ month per camera for multiple cameras for unlimited pictures. I deactivate them after the season and keep them active for about 5 months.

I have a vandalism problem and I suspect it's local teens would the Tactacam Reveal X Gen 2 be a good option for catching them in the act ?

The spot is 150 meters from my house so no wifi but I do have power out there

Yeah, it should work. I believe that model can also transmit video to your phone through the app.

Yup, that Tactacam would work well for your vandalism problem.
