The Link-Micro is by far the best cellular camera for the money. This camera is a breeze to set up and takes very little time. As a black bear guide I need a dependable camera that is not expensive, as bears like to bite and play with any game camera. The Link-Micro seems to perform the best with lithium batteries. My cameras didn't perform reliably with alkaline batteries. I noticed pictures were taken but not sent while using alkaline batteries. Since I have switched to using only Lithium batteries the camera has not failed to send any pictures and battery life is much better. Day and night pictures are clear enough when sent over cellular network to pick out detail on almost all animals. The app is easy to use and has many different features. Settings can be changed from the app with out needing to be at the camera. With different cellular plans to choose from the camera is cost effective all times of the year. My Link-Micros stay in the field year round with out any problems. I live in Northern Minnesota and the severe cold only reduces battery life of the camera. I have not found a picture on the SD card that has not sent. I have owned other cellular game cameras and can say the Link-Micro is by far the best camera for the price. I own 3 of the Link-Micros and will purchase more.
