When I posted that, I did read somewhere where these only work on Verizon. Obviously that's wrong since mine runs on AT&T & I forgot I mentioned that, so sorry.... if that's what the link question is for.
On another note, here I go again ...an update to mine.....
I was having problems from the get go w/mine, with it constantly shutting off, the low IR emitting & such. I did throw it away, only to retrieve it & fugg around with it. Being optimistic & since I had the warranty, I figured something is better than nothing. I sent it back & actually just received the replacement a few days ago. So far, I am happy with it. The day time pics are ok. The night time pics.... I learned... if the cam is set to send only pics, the night time pics are bright. Almost comparable to my other cams, though not as clear & crisp, but very doable. Once I start getting buck pics, I'll post. If the cam is set to take a pic and video, then the IR pic isn't bright. I don't know why it's not, but I do like the videos just the same. The videos are too big ( file size ) to share on here. I can do it thru my Samsung acct, but they are removed a short time later. I gotta find a a good file compressor.
Just like my X6000, you have the option to have the cam send 1 or 3 shot burst. This Delta gives you that option as well, but it doesn't do it, just a single. I have it set for a 15 sec delay & so far it hasn't missed anything. In regards to firmware updates, Moultrie did tell me they're working on, but don't have any idea when it'll come out.
Sooo, only time will tell on how long this will last. Since that 1st X6000 was free & this was the replacement, the only thing I'm out is time & a set of batteries. These cams are too much of a risk I believe, but at $99 or whatever, that the chance u take. On the flip side, all my other $99 cams, such as the Spypoint Micros have been great.

My buddy bought two. Has been in changing cards (card reading issue initially on one camera). Has swapped batteries twice in a couple months. One takes decent pics. Other are dark. I think they were around $90-110 each. I almost bought two to add to his and combine our picture plan costs. Glad I didn't. I don't go swap my regular camera cards or batteries as often as he has been in there keeping these going. I'm about to shoot his camera and tell him to quit blowing the deer out by messing with the camera. Lol

I've got a couple older Covert (non cell) cameras that the first pic or two are always darker til it "wakes up" more. Especially morning pics when it should be switching over from IR to color.
