Moultrie Mobile Wireless Reviews

by Minicharzard

The cameras themselves are ok, but Moultrie is the worst, most un-userfriendly app that I’ve had for trail cam monitoring. I’m pretty tech savvy and the way the all is setup it’s almost like a 75 year old guy made it. There are options that would be very convenient that aren’t even offered.
You have to look at your pictures from all your cameras in one library. They are not separated by date, you have to open the picture and see what date it was taken. I’ve had many times where a “new” picture pops up from the past that wasn’t originally shown that day, but other pics from that day sent already. Pictures also disappear from the library so you better screenshot them.
The most maddening thing was when my camera went over the pic number for the plan I was paying for and didn’t reset after the 30 days. It tells you how much longer you have on your 30 days, and mine said 0 for 2 weeks. The customer service rep I dealt with had no knowledge of their product or their service plans. It took about 6 emails for her to realize they were in the wrong.
I have cancelled my yearlong subscription for the 2 cameras and have to wait until Oct to stop paying for their “service”
It’s not the camera and app setup you are looking for. There are several others in the market that are 10 times better. I’d steer WAY clear of this app.

My camera takes 15-30 pictures per night
85% are nothing but a set of eyes, dark
And unidentifiable images, multiple
Pictures of the night, I have spoken with
3 different this app team members for
Help and they all tell me to change to
Lithium batteries, so I did, absolutely no
Difference, the help line is nothing short of
A bad joke, my mistake was not checking
The reviews on these useless cameras.
I purchased a one year contract for pictures and videos. I have requested one picture eight different times to be a video and it has not happened yet. When you call the helpdesk, no one answers you get an option to hold or they will call you back when they do call you back it’s from a different number and they only let it rain one time so you don’t have a chance to talk to anybody then they leave you a message telling you that you Missed their call, I have literally been waiting on a callback for more than two weeks. I would like a replacement camera that works properly that is all I want, anybody thinking about purchasing a trail camera might want to look at a different brand I am not satisfied with my camera with my pictures and with their service as far as technical support they don’t have any.

Never loads pictures, constantly needs to be reset, burns through batteries, develops leaks at the cameras, app is constantly crashing, customer service is a pain, geez if I could give less than 1 star I would.

I can keep going on and on. For the price, I EXPECTED far more than this and will be moving on to better cellular camera providers next season. For us hunters who use the intel provided by our cameras to set stand locations and determine deer movements, only be able to hunt a couple times a week, having no pictures and constantly having to go back out to the cameras to replace batteries, it’s just simply not worth it. I would rather go back to a “dumb” camera for 1/3 of the cost of these this app cameras if I’m gonna have to trot back into the woods to get the pictures anyways.

Get you act together this app. I’ve spent a lot of money on you (annual fees, 5 cameras) for you to have this kind of p*** poor service and I’m disappointed.

I had a this app camera that worked great then stopped working. this app replaced it with the Delta. It too worked great, at first. Even the battery life was good. The developmental updates are what drained the new batteries and left my camera not functioning for weeks at a time. Yes the updates. FACT: It’s a company’s way of forcing customers to keep purchasing newer products.

I bought a battery box last August. It took days to charge. After 4 months it got to where it didn’t keep a charge. I contacted this app. It’s under warranty so they said ship it to them. It’s not worth paying the price you pay to ship it. So now I purchased a dual solar battery box.

I have been with this app since 2020. They have charged my credit card 3 times for unlimited which comes to roughly $500. This does not include the cost of accessories. Keep it up this app. I am only one customer but I will drop you and move on if this doesn’t take care of the problem.

by Accountability Verifier

Garbage. Use any other company and app than this app. I’ve been fighting with this app for three months over the poor performance of their app and absolutely awful customer service. Moultrie constantly crashes, it often won’t take credit card info, images magically appear from months ago and take up the limited number of shots paid for, and did I mention crashing? Half the time the camera doesn’t capture anything, or maybe it does as Moultrie sure isn’t capable of displaying the images. The only thing this app customer service knows is how to send unhelpful template email responses - they make zero attempt to actually read and resolve the issue. This is my second this app after the first stopped working in less than a year. There won’t be a third. It is rare to find a company in the Outdoor Industry who willingly puts out garbage and has such awful customer service - as this app.

Go anywhere else.

For starters, I realized very shortly after using Moultrie that I needed to upgrade from large to unlimited. This can not be accomplished until the next month so I had to buy extra pics at $5 for 500. I also noticed most of my night pictures were coons so I set a schedule to not take pics from 8pm until 6am. This worked a couple of days but now, on it’s own, it’s taking 200 pics of coons every night. I’ve reset the schedule time after time and I’m about ready to delete Moultrie and reinstall it.
These are the main problems I have found. Coincidentally, they both pertain to the amount of money I’m spending for downloads. If I had the upgrade to unlimited I wouldn’t worry about the coon pics but since I apparently have to wait a month, I guess I’ll be buying a lot of $5 packages for the next 24 days.

by V3gamer

this app has always produced quality products in my opinion. However with the new 7000i series, images viewed through the native app are extremely poor quality and the data plans are the largest “catch” from what I have seen to date. I purchased 5 of these cameras and like any outdoorsman wanting to learn what is on their property along with patterns, would like to have more than a few images per camera per day. Running these cameras have cost me more than $80/month and I still reach “plan capacity” and images quit coming to Moultrie . They do still store on the local SD card but the point of having a camera that will send images to your phone is to send images to your phone. After turkey season this year these camera will either be sold or used like the cheap camera models this app produces and I’ll go back to using my Spartan cameras (which send high quality videos and images to my phone with no volume cap nor reduced quality). Hope they are able to correct this data issue but if I knew more about what I was buying before I bought them I would have simply purchased more Spartan cameras.

I have been using Moultrie for almost two years. On a good stretch, it works for about two months then it always has some issue. It will randomly not open up, forget your information and cause you to keep using your E-mail and password to log in (sometimes tell you the information is wrong and a day later enter the same name/password and now it works).

That being said. This is one of the first companies to offer this technology with trail cameras. It is a great concept and I have received many (thousands) great pictures while traveling all over the state via Moultrie. But with numerous companies now offering the same technology, my next purchase will be one of theirs. I have had too many issues and paid too much money for a monthly service that doesn’t work more than it works.

by Mattcruger

The camera is great, Moultrie seems to lag sometimes and I have to reset phone to get it to work. Mean while, cameras still taking pictures and not showing up on this.
A great idea also would to be able to control a camera shot. Randomly be able to manually take a picture, so you can ensure your camera is connected, would be helpful in low battery situations and connectivity problems.
Also I’m unable to play back videos on here, that’s not cool.
Would also suggest being able to modify pir sensitivity to be sensitive at night and less during the day instead of manually having to do so.
Give it a 2 star because it frustrates me to have to wait for ever to load sometimes with only a few pictures. Also a 2 because everytime I format an SD which seems even if you formatted it prior you still need to do it again and again. Many times I’m forced to do it manually and it won’t take pictures till you do.

by OHwhitetailhunter

The set up of Moultrie is awesome. There’s a lot of ways to sort through your photos and view them. I can’t complain about that part, however there are draw backs. Moultrie will not open properly or at all lately. This is a review of Moultrie and my experience, what those downloading it want to see. I would assume the server is being overworked, but all the other name brand cell cams I’m using do not have this trouble. It’s hard to justify paying for something and investing all the time and money getting it setup, just to have it constantly fail when it sends a push notification. I just want to see my photos. Figure this out this app, you guys make great products and these cell cams are the way of the future. When working, it’s great. I also wish there was a way to make it 4g since Verizon is getting rid of all 3g towers in December 2019, but that’s not this app’s fault.

by Skeeterbeck

I have used this for 2 seasons and over all, had liked the cameras and Moultrie . Pictures come thru in bad quality but, I get it, data usage... so when you get the card out of the camera there are good pictures in there just waiting for you and you know basically what you have caught on it. Have had arguments with with my hunting buddy over if a buck was a shooter or a spike on app picture but then clearly see what it is on the card. 2020 scouting season is not as good. App is glitchy and service down a lot. Open app and it closes, pictures won’t load like they did last year. Hoping that they get it figured out because I have quite a few cameras and they are worthless to me without app working correctly.

by Bubbag8tor

This is my second season using Moultrie and the associated cameras in the MoultrieMobile ecosystem. In general I am pleased with the utility I am getting from my cameras and managing them with Moultrie . I do not have any other cell camera app experience to compare it against so I do not know how to make a valid comparison. When everything works I don’t have any complaints. However I do feel that I have to exercise a lot of patience to get Moultrie to function correctly. It crashes often and I have to close it and start over. In addition sometimes pictures that I know are there disappear for no apparent reason. I assumed I had a filter setting incorrect initially, but even resetting filters doesn’t work. But if I search by the specific camera I can usually find the image eventually. I am currently running 5 cameras.

by DocHolladay

I love this camera and how it has helped me scout and see what my deer population is like from year to year. I like how easy Moultrie is to set the camera for different areas or seasons. I like being able to get high res photos without having to pull the sd card from the cameras.

What I dislike is that when I hit my photo limited and purchase more photos, it never starts sending pictures again. It sends them all once my service plan renews. I dislike that they don’t have plan bundles for multiple cameras or better price for pricing on service plans with multiple cameras.

by BaconXpress

When I first got Moultrie , I could. It for the life of me get the notifications to come through on the push notifications. I followed the troubleshooting suggestions several times with no success. I called MoultrieMobile and they told me to continue to try and do the troubleshooting steps after they looked at my settings and confirmed everything was correct. I turned off the email notifications and left only the Push notifications Onondaga after 24 hours I started to get them. Since then, Moultrie works great. Every once in a while Moultrie will not ding, but the notification will come through on your lock screen. I restart my phone and that seems to fix this issue

I’ve been using the this app mobile system for about a month now and so far no complaints. Like any cellular system, phones included, it all depends on your signal strength at your particular location. I consistently have 3 bars, sometimes 2 bars, and everything seems to work just fine. I am using Moultrie /modem with a W-40i, M-8000i, and in a few days an M-50i. I have changed settings on the cameras several times through Moultrie with no issues. So far I am liking the this app Mobile system much better than the Spypoint system I tried before. I get pics more consistently and everything seems operate faster. I am primarily using this is as a driveway monitor so I want a pic every time a car or person comes in. I’ve also got a lot of animal pics including dogs, cats, deer, and coyotes.

This camera system is the best !! You set it up on your phone which is super simple. After that just relax and let the pictures arrive you don’t need to go to the site until you want to!! All the information is on the display right on the phone !! You can change the settings anytime and still no need to go near the camera, just save the changes and it’s done !!! A super easy to use, efficient product !!!! Will not be without one!!!! If you love deer hunting and getting pictures delivered right to you this is for you!!!
The batteries last for months even when taking high amounts of pictures!!!

by Matt H.334

I’m a land manager and the farm I manage uses 50 of the Spartan cameras , and I’ve used the spypoint and about every other type of regular game cameras as well. The pros for the this app delta. Price point, easy set up, clear images, up to 32 mp, 15 second videos, Moultrie itself is awesome! I love the charts and you can brake down deer movement by, time of day, temperature, and moon phase, and even the number of buck, doe, and turkey. This is a game changer in my opinion. The cons, the only con I have is when you first set up your game camera it can take awhile to get your first pictures to load, And this is an easy fix. Just set up your cameras at home or wherever you have good service and just have a little patience. So if you’re looking for a reasonable priced game camera look no farther. This is why my personal properties I’ve gone with this app Mobile!

by Lofgrep

I use Moultrie to manage two Delta cams on a property 200 miles from where I live. I plan to add more but wanted to see how it worked with two cams to start.

Activation/setup of the cameras could not have been easier. Everything can be done from within Moultrie , and there’s clear instructions in both Moultrie and inside the camera door if you ever need to reference them. Even the cell plan purchase is done inside Moultrie . I *really* liked not having to go out to a website to do all of this.

Moultrie ’s interface is easy to navigate and it has several really cool features. You can customize just about every setting imaginable so the experience is exactly what you want - no more, no less. When I first set the cams up I wanted to see every update, in real time, as notifications pushed to my phone. I’ve since dialed that back to 2X a day updates to conserve batteries — but I love that if I wanted to change the setting back, all I need to do is change the setting in Moultrie and it’ll update the cam(s) accordingly.

Even the “Smart Tag” feature seems to work well - though Moultrie doesn’t know what to do with a moose. I’ll be interested to see if it’s eventually smart enough to ID black bears, grouse, rabbits and all the other critters that sometimes trip the sensor.

All in all, Moultrie far exceeded my expectations and it has made cell cam implementation on my property an easy and exciting project!

by AAAMcL

Love the cameras, some of the bad reviews they have my guess is cause of batteries. USE THE BATTERIES THAT THEY RECOMMEND yes little more expensive but make the world of a difference tried different kinds just to see and you can get poor picture quality out of the wrong batteries and when batteries are close to being dead cause it trying to make sure it gets every picture, they talk about batteries in manual but no one reads that, as for Moultrie , I think it is awesome everything i use to keep track of Moultrie does it for me and really easy to use, love that I can change the camera setting whenever, I put a lot of research into these kind of camera and for price and plan this is by far the best not like others they have things hidden make there plans look better but they have all these other catches, Moultries is straight forward and simple

by Reddawg2132

I have owned game and trail cams since the original deer cam came out with the rolls of film in them! Saying that I have been through a lot of different brands and styles of cameras! This this app Mobile camera takes the cake! The days of loading up and going to the woods to pull cards once a week are over. This camera gets a 5 star rating in every single area that I can give it one! Quality of pictures are near perfect, trigger speed is unmatched, and Moultrie is simple enough for a young child to figure out!!!!! I love how you can go into your settings from Moultrie and change them at any time, all from home without having to disturb your hunting areas!
I have owned several different brands of the mobile type cameras and the quality of pictures are terrible. The cameras data plan is a little more expensive than some of the others... but absolutely worth every penny! I own 3 this app Mobile cameras now and plan to buy more!

by Dc Chap

I’ll probably drop my plan now that y’all quit sending new image texts because that was the main reason I bought this expensive setup with y’all. I use it for security n my rv on my property and it’s set to pick up game movement as well where my rv sits. It’s now useless because like most people I get a gazillion emails every min of the day and I will not set my iPhone to notify me every time I get an email, so I’d have to literally sit around and check my email all day. Most guys like me who purchase this setup do not sit a a desk all day staring at there computer..:we’re out actively working...so I’ll probably end up dropping my plan and trying to sell my camera and modem and find a newer camera that has everything built in that will still send me a text when I have a new image. Most people now have unlimited data so I’m not buying the pitch on all the email nonsense!

by Ambusher10

I have used this app product exclusively, for 30 years!! I find your products are the best of quality and easy to use! And have had great success,using the cameras! But recently I have been logging onto my hunting partners account and viewing pics jointly under his password , which has worked perfectly till recently. I just opened my own account to start using my own this app mobile and cannot seem to get things to work properly at the moment my hunting partner system has also shut down and is not sending him pictures so now we are both not able to use our service through this app Mobile! Of course it could be some other problem,we can’t see but,I think this app mobile needs to revamp their system because like last year at this time it seems to have stopped working and it’s probably overloaded, with all of the users???? thank you

by Banrust

Functionality of camera works great. Moultrie constantly crashes. Sometimes after refreshing the photos it will actually remove weeks or days worth of photos and refresh back to a later date, in which you have to close Moultrie reopen it and refresh it then wha-lah the recent photos pop up again. Frustrating to open an app and it freezes or crashes, makes me feel like every time I open Moultrie I could be missing photos, so I log into the computer when I can to feel at ease that I have not missed any photos. Also would be nice to have a separate page of photos for each camera and not have all the photos put into one area then have to filter out the photos based on the camera name.

by Brooks73

I like the concept of having my pics sent via mobile but this app dropped the ball. Moultrie works pretty good as a whole but seems to crash way to often just trying to browse the pictures. Moultrie will lock up randomly and will have to be restarted. Also the data plans are a rip off especially if you have your camera over bait. Spypoint has an unlimited data plan for $15. And for just getting an image to notify me that there is a deer at my bait that is worth it. this app has to fix Moultrie and offer a competitive data plan or I will eBay all my this app cameras and go with Spypoint just because of the data plan. With this app I have 3 cameras and I am spending $20 /month each and am out of data with a over a week left before my month is up. And they only allow you to upgrade once per month so now I am stuck till the end of the month before I can upgrade my plan again. This is ridiculous. Can’t wait till the season is over so I can get rid of these cameras and start over with another cell camera with unlimited data that is not going to break the bank.

by Zacharyb32

After trying other brands of trail cameras over the years I was happy to give this app Mobile a try. I am happy with the quality of photos day and night and the trigger speed. The battery life is very poor and I’ve had to start switching my cameras over to 12 volt batteries. Moultrie itself is ok but the there’s a couple things that I’d love to see. #1 an option to view photos from each camera separate besides just the current feed. #2 A “real time” photo option where you can request a Live Photo to the camera. #3 to be able to switch from photo to video...I am not sure I’ve been able to view a video on Moultrie .

Overall I am happy and will buy more cameras and I’m sure things will improve. Thanks

by Fusco2510

Similar to other people’s experiences I have mixed feelings about this product line. I feel the cameras/modem setups themselves function well and I get alerts quickly, however, Moultrie itself has a mind of its own. Sometimes (1oo10 times) it’s opens right away and pictures load/open quickly. The rest of the times I find myself frustrated and fighting Moultrie by opening/closing it. After numerous times of opening/closing Moultrie the pictures will finally load. If they get this functionality fixed I will buy many more of these setups, but not as of right now. I’ll be cancelling this subscription at the send of the month. Hoping for an update that fixes this to improve speed and reliability.

by Bowhunter77$

Nothing really too bad about the camera system as a whole. The only thing that I do not like is the fact that on the lowest setting possible it takes way too many pictures especially of nothing which therefore if you have a service plan eats up your images. I set a standard this app above my cellular this app. My cellular this app took 300 pictures in one day with it looking at my feeder. My other Moultry only took pictures of larger animals such as deer and or coons and I only had 20 images that day. I called and ask what I could do about the sensitivity and it taking so many pictures and customer service told me there was nothing they could do about it.

by Chandrawings

Overall I love this camera and modem most of the time it consistently works great however today in particular every time I try to open up Moultrie it crashes and I have no idea what to do about this,, or how to fix it one thing I would really like you to work on is being able to tag more than one picture at a time with the same tag if I have five pictures of a deer I want to be able to tag them all at once this shouldn’t be too difficult a task for you to accomplish to make this great camera perfect

by Eyes Of The Hunter

this app Mobile is exactly what I was looking for to step up the scouting game. Moultrie and hardware are easy to set up and operate. I have to drive 2.5 hours to get to my property. This allows me to put a lot time back into scouting new areas on foot in stead of running back and forth to swap SD cards. The batteries last for months which allows me to have very little traffic in an area I don’t wish to disturb. It’s also exciting to get my pictures sent right to my phone immediately when taken. The operation and effectiveness of this game management system is superb and a healthy tool to add to any outdoor arsenal! Great job this app!

by Mrnumatik

I am more impressed with this Camera everyday. We also own a Bushnell Aggressor Cellular Camera. The Bushnell works well when the temperature is above freezing, but will not send pictures when it’s too cold. So far, the this app Camera has transmitted images flawlessly, down to 2 Degrees Fahrenheit. I can purchase two this app Cameras for the price of one Bushnell, in fact, we are doing just that. We have just ok Cell Service with AT&T at our Cabin. In some places on the property there is no service. The Camera has had no issues transmitting pictures. I highly recommend.
