I received my Exodus Render today. The set up, registration and activation were simple. You can view the pics via the Scoutek smart phone app or on computer via Scoutek's website. I put it in the back yard and wandered by it. The first 2 pics triggered before I got in the frame. The 3rd was good enough so I hustled out to the new property and set it up. The spot I selected has not been very active yet but I think it will be. It's on a 4 wheeler path leading into a food plot that has just sprouted. There is also a low hanging beech limb at this opening. Here is the first in-woods pic as I was leaving.

Does it send pics as it takes them or does it does it only send them a couple of times per day? I wish I had cell coverage at our camp as I would own one. May be able to do it after this weekend as I am installing a WEboost in the cabin. If I get enough boost then I could get a cell camera with the Cuddelink system ad put the home camera right next to the booster outside.

You can select how often you have them sent and immediately is an option

Spencie looks good... I put my Spartan out last week and have only received one pic so far... I get a status report every day which shows everything is fine with batteries and signal (which is a full 5 bars)... Guess it's the fact that this prop probably has 400 acres of corn around it... Here's the one pic I got....

Does it tell you how it affects battery life if you send immediately vs sending say twice per day? Just wondering. I would be like a crack addict and want to get them immediately but I would guess that is a lot rougher on battery life.

I have not found that info. My phone vibrated in my pocket at 5:00 am this morning. I got excited and checked it. Just a work buddy saying he was running behind. It is very addictive.

Looks to me like that deer picked up the human scent.

Pics look great Spencie.... Did I just hear your phone beep... LOL... Like said earlier it's addicting... Got up to go to bathroom around 3 AM and just had to check phone for any new pics... Wait till Oct. When the deer really start moving around...

I might have to use the old 35 mm strategy of facing the cam towards the north. The sun and wind have been giving it false triggers today. I don’t want to use up all my data. I changed the delay through the app so it won’t take so many pics this afternoon.

Good idea... So far I've only had 2 pics of nothing.. I tried to knock down alot of the high weeds when I put the cam up... I can set mine up to take 2 test pics daily... But what for?
