I need to buy several Game cameras for home security of several acres.  Reviews online are all over the place.  I need invisible flash and good quality photos.  I do not want cellular cameras but it would be nice to have Bluetooth capability to download photos on an app.  Does anyone have real actual experience with one that they can recommend?  Model number, please.

Why not cellular ready?

Because I don't want to pay for 4 cell connections for cameras that are all within 50 yards of my house.

Going on about 6 years of building up an assortment, I have about 12 $30-100 cameras.   And a few that no longer function at all.  Tasco, Wildgame and some no name from walmart.  I'd would suggest avoiding the wildgame.  I've had bad luck with most of not all of them at one point or another.  For no reason, I get no pics but the batteries run dead in 2 weeks.  Or the card errors.  Cheap trail cameras have been a true lesson in 2 is 1, 1 is none rule.  Sometimes it's even 3 or 4 is 1.  I know I miss a lot from just one camera.  Having 3 in the same area only tells me the others miss it.  Doesn't always provide a clear shot though.  Better than nothing though.

Reolink Argus 2 is a wifi cam than might fit your needs.


Saves to a microSD card and uploads via WIFI if connected.


PIR motion sensor and rechargeable with solar options.

I ordered this today to mess around with it. My first one. It has the Sony Starvis Sensor and no-glow infrared. Like you, I don't want to get all crazy with wifi, cellular, etc.

I use these (Amazon link).  Cheap enough where I don't worry about them walking off (used on public land), and take pretty good pictures.
