Need to snatch up two ASAP more for security than monitoring wildlife.

Cell signal should be good in the location. I'm just looking for a dependable was of getting alerted to people vs. scouting game.

I keep reading reviews and most are pretty bad... eating batteries, not taking pics, going dead, etc.

Any first hand experiences welcome.

One question I've asked many places, and never got an answer, was FOV at certain distances. All the cameras (very few) that I've tried, are like a 3x or 4x scope. You have to set them back pretty far from the narrow area you'll get on screen.

Here's an example;

I contacted Moultrie, and told them the clearing is too small for me to move the camera back far enough to capture the whole clearing with the cameras I have, so I'd like to know if they sell any cameras with a wider FOV. Their suggestion was that I move the camera back.
