Hey everyone, I just wanted to see if anyone had any information or experience with cellular trail cameras. I need new trail camera as my old one is having some technical issues, although when I search around I find most of the cameras nowadays seem to be cellular. Although this is a cool feature, most of the areas I plan on setting them up in are not within service. My question is whether or not there is a way to set these up in the traditional way where you have to go out and bring it home to review the footage, or if they are strictly for use in areas with service. If anyone could provide insight it would be appreciated as I am having trouble finding an answer to this on the web. Also, if anyone has any recommendations for trail camera's that have worked well for them in the past I'd love to get some input. Thanks!
The B.C. hunting regs have been updated and published effective July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2022. Of note, E-Bikes cannot be used in areas closed to Motor Vehicles and it is now unlawful to use a wireless camera while hunting.[COLOR=var(--IXoxUe)]Jul 2, 2020[/COLOR]

There’s more nuance to it than that.
Wireless cameras are not allowed for hunting between Aug 1 and Dec 10, except in region 1, where they’re no allowed year round.
The definition of ‘wireless camera’ is vague enough to catch honest folk out - it says “WIRELESS CAMERA - means a camera that obtains an image by means of a remote or infrared sensor and that is capable of sending an image remotely to an electronic device.” I believe you could end up in hot water even if you didn’t have such a camera connected to a plan as it is technically capable of wireless use.

The thing is you can use them without the LTE antenna and with no sim card. How is that thing going to transmit anything? By doing that you make it a regular trail camera. Love to see them try that in court.
You can take the man out of the wilderness but you cant take the wilderness out of the man.

Ok - not a position I want to put myself in, but to each their own.
Nothing is physically stopping a guy from putting out a cell enabled camera with antenna, SIM, and active plan, and stashing the antenna and SIM to make it seem like they were using it “offline”

You need to have the antenna unscrewed and not on you or on the camera.

I've had the best luck with the Bushnell DS cams and the upper end Browning ones. Non-cellular of course.
I think this regulation is an over reach. Its not like your going to leave work, or go in the middle of the night because theres a buck on your game cam. I like them because it saves fuel and time. You can say your buck or whatever is in the area and is moving at whatever time, so when you do go hunting, you have some idea of whats in the area. Unless you have great cell service at both the cam and the phone, they dont work and you have to go check them anyways.
If this is what the NDP think is going to save game, they are truly small thinkers

Well technically you could set up in a cellular coverage area, have severe cameras out, and say sitting in a blind, and know where and when and what animal is coming in from what direction, and say head there.
