I had a similar situation this past week. I called customer service on Sunday they determined there was a problem with the camera and sent me a UPS label. Unfortunately, they told me they would not replace the camera until they received the bad one back. I was impressed with the fact that customer service is available on Sunday.
Great review, thanks!!! I've used Moultrie for years, and I look at customer service as a Top Priority, and they are second to none!!
You had me at good customer service. Malfunctions are bound to happen with any product; it’s good that you shared your experience with their service. Good review!
Thanks for watching 👍
Yes, and now they have 7 day a week live help. Always hated having to take my camera down and setting it up at home to work through when customer service was only m-f.
There is a desktop app to use on PC or Mac. It allows you to download directly in one step. Your phone is not required for downloading, but camera control and setup is still done from your phone. Great videos. I enjoy watching them!
I appreciate your help! I didn’t realize that at the time of filming this video.
Awesome to see a follow up review from ya!!! Glad you got a working unit, thanks for the pros and cons part.
I appreciate you watching 👍
Great review and quick replacement too. Sounds like you got it all figured out and it is working well for you. Good quality in the footage too. Take care and have a great day.
I appreciate you watching. Have a great day Steve 👍
I really love your reviews. They are very thorough and touch upon every feature we all look for in a trail camera. I bought a Campark TC06 just because of your video. Keep it up and I will continue to watch your channel and your camera reviews!
I appreciate you watching and thanks for the encouragement 👍
Glad to hear it worked out for you and the customer service was good! A big turn around on the review of the original camera! Thanks for sharing and Good luck with everything my friend!
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
Nice review. Glad to hear they stepped up and honored the warranty and were so easy to deal with.
I appreciate you watching 👍
Their customer service is tol notch, i had a 7000 series camera that quit working after a year and a half. Called them and sent it back and just recieved a new edge series yesterday. Mounted it today.
Thanks for the update review, see you on the next video
I appreciate you watching 👍
Dave, that camera looks great! Thanks for the review!
I appreciate you watching 👍
Nice follow up video Dave! Given the two cons - primary being lack of usb port - I will wait to get one until that is resolved. Great info Dave!! Much appreciated!
I appreciate you watching 👍
Great review and real nice that the manufacturer did the right thing. 👍
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment Arielle. Thank you 👍
Excellent customer service is always a plus...Win ..Win
Thanks for sharing your experience
Have a great week.
Thanks for watching Dan! I appreciate it 👍
I have four of these and they have pretty much been flawless. Set up is so easy and battery life is excellent. For the price I don't see how they can be beat.
So for each cam do you need a new anual thing?
That’s a shame it went wrong but great you’ve got it sorted! Customer services isn’t often a thing people look at when buying something so that’s great you’ve shared your experience!
I appreciate you watching 👍
Great review!! Love your honesty well respected in my eyes !! Have a great week ahead! Cheers from craig 🦌OH 🦌
Thanks for watching Craig! I appreciate it 👍
Great review. very helpful as I am looking to purchase several trail cameras
I appreciate you watching 👍

Thanks for watching. I appreciate it 👍
Nice job brother. Customer service that is great is a plus
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
Great review on the trail camera buddy
I appreciate you watching 👍
very cool feature to be able to see the videos and images from your mobile device. 👍👍
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it 👍
Thanks for the review
Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for a great review -
I appreciate you watching 👍
I’ve said it before , a company is only as good as both their products and their customer service. Glad they stood behind their product and you are now happy with this camera. Good to know.
You’re right Don! Thanks for watching 👍
This camera has some nice features, I like the multiple 1/4-20 mounts. I think I would rather have a SD card on a camera. Another great review, thanks
Thanks for watching Joseph. I appreciate it 👍
Spot on reveiw. Couldn't have said it better. This is my very first cell camera. And i absolutely dislike the no port to retreive my videos almost makes me want to try another brand. Only because of that issue. I love moultree products and they'v been around a long time. But that 1 thing is a big downer.
I have a Moultrie edge I like it pretty good. No major issues with it so far 👍
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience 👍
2 questions
1. Can I cable lock the Moultre is there anyway to lock it up ?
2. the photos and videos go to the App - do I get an alert ?
I love my MOULTRIE edge! I’m not a hunter these days or anything but I just set it up in our yard and I put a little bowl with a tad bit of cat food to see what happens. I would like to see some cool animals come. So far the camera has worked perfectly. The image isn’t the crispest as the top of the line cameras but it’s good enough, and I don’t live in the middle of the woods but I’m close enough to get deer, Racoons, cats, whatever. The camera seems to function fairly well in that it doesn’t trigger too easily or not enough, and the quality seems good
My very first cam was the moultrie game spy. A huge tank-of-a-cam. And my moultrie 888 is one of my super-reliable cams, it's been a workhorse. And my moultrie pano 180 is for sure one of my favourites, it misses absolutely nothing, due to it's three lenses. But i leaned away from moultrie around the time of the S-50. I was soooo eager to get it, as it's video looked so good. But from everything i saw on it, it was terrible on battery-life.
Something that surprises me, with this here cam, is how few leds it has.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts and experiences. I still believe the Mountie M80 was one of the best cameras I’ve used over the years👍
I bought a Tactacam Reveal and they emailed me to call them back during business hours
They do not have readily available customer service - I mean come on no customer service on the weekend isn’t hunting a hobby ?!
I’ll buy the Moultre !
Great Review , I’ve actually been considering this one. However I’m like you, to much trouble without that SD CARD
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it. I’m hoping they include a USB port in the future. I also understand that the SD card causes the most issues (evidence by their customer service calls).
How's she goin'? That was pretty good service from Moultrie eh Dave!! Ya gotta like a company that stands behind it's products. The camera looks like a winner too. You do a very good job reviewing these trail cameras. As an experienced user, you know what to look for and what could be an issue and you report on these points in a truthful and easily understood manner. I like that and if I were to buy a trail cam I definitely would check to see if you reviewed it and what you had to say about it before I would by it. Thanks for posting this and take 'er easy!!
I appreciate your support and encouragement Mike. Thank you 👍
Great video I purchased the moultrie going by your review, but the one thing I really don't like is you have to purchase a plan for each camera, it seems to me spypoint offers one plan and you can add multiple cameras at no extra cost would any of the other manufacturers offer this feature thank you keep up the great videos
Most manufacturers have a fee for each camera. Cuddyback has a multi camera plan but I don’t have experience with them
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO!! SO I AM ON YOUR SIDE WITH THE CONS SO WHAT CAM FIX THESE PROBLEMS AND I SHOULD BUY... THA K YOI
Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos 👍
For the price of these cameras ($72 on Amazon as I type this) you cannot beat them!! Good review 👊
What a great price. I bought most of mine 2 for 150. They're not perfect but you definitely can't beat them at those prices...
That’s a great price 👍
Customer service is number one but like he said I will not try it without an sd card. What a shame.
Pleased with the Edge camera, great picture quality day and night. Purchased the Moultrie lithium battery and after two months use it was still showing 85% strength remaining. If Customer Service is busy they’ll call you back or they’ll respond to an email in a timely manner
I appreciate you watching and for sharing your experience 👍
I have 12 non cellular Moultrie cameras. I have lots of SD card issues. So last year i bought a 2 pack of these edges. Price was good at $179 for the pair. Had a very hard time getting them activated. Had to call cust service and manually activate. Cameras worked good and am still on original lithium battries. I put them up last July and there ate still reading 100% even after leaving them out all winter in Wisconsin. I dont use video and have pics sent every 12 hrs. Only issue is ive had problems with the app on my android phone and tablet. Seems to be resolved for now. So i just purchased 2 more Edges. This time activation was very fast and easy so they improved on that part. These cameras have worked in low signal areas as well. I think the plans are overpriced especially if you want to run several cameras. But i guess its worth it not having to deal with the SD card issues ive had with my non cellular cameras. I would recommend these cameras!
I appreciate you watching and for sharing your thoughts and experiences 👍
What size ie the external power port? What size connector would I need to make an external power box.
That's a lot of batteries, and an easy setup. Just wish it had an SD card. Nobody wants to take their laptop out to the woods with them. By the way thanks for wearing the shirt. Great follow up review.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Have a great day Jermey 👍
I received a message a week ago saying Moultrie was going to update mine soon.
Sure enough it did update this weekend.
I have not been running mine on video mode since we are using it around our chicken Coop to watch for predators.
But after the update the pictures look more like the HD pics you would normally have to download separately. I am guessing the videos may have got the same update. Just checking if your cam also got the update.
Thanks for watching. I got that message also but haven’t noticed a big difference (my camera is on video mode)
I have a faulty camera, so how did they go about transferring the plan you already paid for to the new camera?
I’ve had mine for 4 days, 16 batteries, already at 75% battery life. I have set to pictures only.
Poor battery life could be connected to older firmware versions. Make sure you have the latest firmware update installed on the camera. Moultrie customer service can help if you have trouble. 👍
I had the same issue with one of my cameras and customer service was 10 out of 10.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your experience. 👍
Hello from (MaineNorth Woods Hunter) again. I wish you would have done the cone test again with your new camera. My camera just is not reliable for taking pictures at even reasonable distances. It seems to be a common occurrence. Sadly I think it is time for me to switch to a different brand. With your downloading video and photo issues, you can also download the Moultrie app to your computer so you do not have to make that extra step getting them from the phone to your computer. That is what I do in that situation.
I appreciate your input and the website tip! Thank you 👍
I never thought of the sd cards u no my phone one is bad so looks like it might be like mine
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it 👍
Any idea what the 2 mini USB ports in the compartment where the front door latches are used for ???
Thanks for watching. I’m not sure?
Brother...is this moultrie edge only usable in USA and Canada?
I've bought it for Bangladesh in Asia from china. Can't I use this in Bangladesh?? It doesn’t connect to the app.
Unfortunately I’m not sure what their compatibility in other countries is? Sorry
Do any of these cameras take a sim card that you already have? Not ones with monthly plans. We are paying for a Sim card that goes in our RV that we could be using for the trail cam when we are not camping...
New to hunting cameras. One thing I don’t understand, why aren’t companies providing different type of mounts to achieve the direct of the camera? If I mount the camera up high and want it to point down
They do.
This is my second year of owning 11 moultrie edge cellular cameras. Nothing but problems with them. Not receiving pictures. They are not user friendly. Have to go into the field to reset way too many times and that defeats the whole purpose of the camera. I watched a you tube video of a guy shooting his moultrie camera with a shotgun and that's what you have to do if you want to solve problems with the Moultrie Edge. Some of their reps are rude and some are great. This is just me opinion and review.
Can you access the app on pc for the pics? Like loging in online somehow?
Yes, you can login to your account online and view (or download) pics instead of using the app 👍
You know can use moultrie app on your computer too I use it on my phone and computer so you don't need a port
That’s good information. Thanks for watching and sharing 👍
Did you notice any loud clicking in the videos? I've seen alot of videos where the deer were spooked by some kind of loud clicking noise in the camera
I have 7 of these and I have them all set to video. There is a clicking noise that sometimes pops up in video. Most of the time it doesn't bother the deer but occasionally they notice it. It's not a big enough issue to keep me from using the cams but I wish they fixed that. Also the audio is not that good but the video quality is great.
@mdees88 I had one that was the same way. It had a loud noise that sounded like a generator running in the distance, maybe interference or something. I've seen guys with videos of deer spooking from the clicks. I returned mine because it wouldn't trigger like the first one Dave got
I have not heard any abnormal noise. I was actually impressed that the deer were rarely noticing the camera 👍
Yes I notice the clicking and so do the deer. My videos are not downloading and they make me drive 100 miles for a manual reboot. I bought 11 cameras and pay over 100 dollars a month for subscriptions but they refuse to work with me on the $350 I lost on manual reboots.
Phouuuune
I like mine for the most part, but a con to me is the delay between pics... there's too much gap... goes from 1 minute to 5 mins, nothing in between... I like to run mine on two minutes and have that ability on my other three cameras, but not this one... just my opinion
I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts 👍
Why not log into Moultrie mobile on the comp and download straight to computer like i do?
You’re right. That’s a good option I wasn’t aware of at the time of the recording of this video. I appreciate you watching 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial no prob great review though! Just figured I'd mention it even though it's really long after the review video.
Is it weatherproof?
Yes. The camera is made to operate in harsh weather conditions. 👍
4:49 When discussing battery life you said you put in 16 batteries, and your still running on those 16 batteries. This tells us nothing in regards to what kind of battery life we can expect. How many days was it?
There are many variables (daytime vs nighttime, video vs pictures, immediate transfer vs delayed transfer, and many more). In general my Moultries will last 2-3 months on 16AA batteries 👍
Can you use solar power?
Yes, they have an external power port for solar panels to plug into 👍
Customer service is great, low service areas work. Yup I'm sold, just ordered two. Nice review
I appreciate you watching 👍
Great customer service is what we expect for buying their products. At least courteous conversation.
You’re right! Thanks for watching 👍
Does it cost per month bejng a cellular camera?
Yes
Can you still get your pictures off this camera without having a plan?
Unfortunately you must have a plan
I love not having NO sd card. Just something to worry about ..
I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts. It definitely has its advantages as well 👍
Any firmware updates with this camera?
I have not performed any updates. I appreciate you watching. 👍
1/4-20 mounts??
Yes, bottom and back (near the top on the back) 👍
Yea for someone who walks way out into the woods on public to get a camera I'd have to have an SD card. No offense to Moultrie, but it makes you wonder what kind of hunters actually make these cameras. That's a total deal breaker for pretty much every public land hunter I would think. Great follow up review!
Why is it a deal breaker for public land hunters? It texts you all your pics and videos. There's no need to go to the camera and physically swap a card. All your pics and videos are available for download on the app on your phone.
@@mdees88 I get that, but I would assume like most cameras it's not HD on the transfer to your app. The other thing I thought he said which maybe I missed, was that you have to download them individually. I would prefer to download all the pictures and videos at one time. Maybe I misunderstood him. But if the Hunting Farmer says it's a negative and he's using it on his private property, it seems like for public it would be that much more inconvenient... at least for how I like to use the pictures and videos. That's my take anyway.
@@PBAdventures146 It all boils down to your end goal. If you goal is to collect and store as much high quality photos and video as possible then a removeable SD card is a MUCH better choice. If your goal is to unobtrusively record deer in a remote location and you really only want high quality photos and videos of certain deer (bucks), then these cameras work great. The photos you receive on the app are decent enough quality to tell what different bucks you have. You can download the hi-res photos but they are only slightly improved. You can also select as many photos as you want and download them all in hi-res without having to download each individual image like he was saying. You can click select all and download all photos at once if you want.
@@PBAdventures146 Video is different... I'll explain.
@@PBAdventures146 When it takes a vid it saves an image of the vid (so you can see the animal in the vid). You can only download videos one at a time, like he said. But you only get 10 video downloads per month, then $1 per 50 vids after that. Even if your camera takes a couple hundred videos in a month, it only charges you when you download one. So I only download vids of things I'm interested in. On public land this is a non-issue because you're likely only getting a dozen or less vids a day. Just download your videos every day it takes very little time and effort. Plus on public, no one's going to steal your SD card (though they night steal the whole camera). If you have it on private looking at a bait pile and you're getting a hundred videos per day (and you want all the footage) then a removeable SD card is a lot more practical.
From Zero to Hero and then back to Zero. Videos are not downloading. I have my cameras 100 miles away and Moultrie wants me to do a manual reboot on 2 different occasions. So we're talking $75 worth of gas on each trip and a half day of work on each trip for a total of $350. I'm not counting the time spent on hold and talking with customer service on the phone calls.
Customer Service is not working with me. Won't even give me a credit on my subscriptions.
So my review of the camera gets a big fat 0.
You can upload videos off your phone to CZcams and for you to do that many steps to upload your trail cam videos is your fault. I edited and Purdue videos all the time off my phone and upload them to my youtube all the time.
Thanks for the advice 👍
@HuntingFarmerOfficial your very welcome sir. Great video by the way and I guy picked up two of these trail cam.
A goat head .? And a 5 point star on your shed. Seems kinda sus guy
I appreciate you watching 👍
Customer service goes a long way. GoPro could take a lesson from them.
You’re right! Thanks for watching 👍
Sounds like it's a great camera for people that want to hunt and not make CZcams videos.
This is true! 😁
Thanks for watching 👍
Land your plane man. Your complaining about boomer issues with software.
I appreciate you watching and for the constructive criticism 👍
That's Moultrie. Nothing but problems with them for over 10 years. Don't know why I keep trying them.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your experience
Videos not downloading for me. They tell me to drive 100 miles for a manual reboot. No complimentary compensation for the time and money I am losing.
