COMMAND PRO 4+

Bought multiple of these cameras for our ranch, and use the app for remote monitoring. The most frustrating thing early in the learning curve is understanding that you have to keep the batteries charged…I mean, really charged! Early on, I was using the most expensive batteries, Everready lithium, and taking a single picture, not video, every 15 seconds. Some cameras, this did fine for two or three weeks. Other cameras with more activity, such as deer that fed all night, my camera would shut down within a week. Unfortunately, the last picture would often transmit with one or two bars of battery life, and make me wonder why all of a sudden the “cameras” would die?!? It was actually the batteries.
I have learned that a better choice is to use rechargeable batteries, hi baby and solar chargers. Both are even more expensive than Everready lithium, but it is the best way to keep the cameras from shutting down. The solar chargers breakdown, sometimes in only six months to a year, but even when they do the rechargeable batteries can be taken home and recharged. I keep two full sets, and trade out the old ones every two to 6 weeks, depending on whether the solar charger is working at that particular camera or not.

I own 2 of the Stealth Cam Deceptors. Both started off great and one is still working fine. However, the second one back in October began draining batteries out of the blue, within a weeks time is was dead. This happened over and over after confirming settings. The problem then began when trying to contact customer support. I would call and go through the queuing process to my issue only to talk with a answering service that would take my information and issues and tell me someone would call back. Well after several days and no call I called again and then again for about 4-5 times. Finally, in mid November I got a call and was simply just sent a new camera and a sorry. Well once again that replacement is failing and not synching with the network. Once again I call and no return call service again and again. Very aggravating and not to mention I’m still paying for a service that’s not working while I get NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT.

I am an operator of oil and gas wells. The cameras- 4 of them now(1 had the antenna broken off by an employee we expect is part of a criminal enterprise). Very remote area in Texas.
We have experienced theft of oil from our wells. A group of criminals have coordinated an operation to steal $40-? Thousands of dollars in oil. We have excellent surveillance of our own people going to and from our oil field. I witnessed the coordinated theft. Multiple vehicles first went into our lease and somehow were able to spot the motion sensors and somehow the criminals were not caught on camera even though I could see them from a hill above pass by our multiple cameras numerous times. The cameras caught nothing. The cameras didn’t even can the 18 wheeler going in and they vanished into the night. 6 sheriffs and 2 Highway patrol agents were unable to find them. They asked to see video footage, which I expected to show them. There was nothing to show. There were no pictures, videos or cellular uploads of them moving by many cameras. I’m no expert, but somehow they were able to pass freely, undetected and the only evidence was the 220 barrels of oil they had taken. How did they completely disarm multiple cameras? I am baffled.
