"Booster" Antenna for your Cellular Trail Camera

A high gain external antenna is a great way to improve the performance of a cellular trail camera. This one is the Ridgetec Omni Directional, but our Directional is also an awesome choice. with this setup I was able to improve signal from 53% to 78%. That's a huge improvement and will give increased battery life as well as more reliable picture uploads to the server. #cellulartrailcamera #Ridgetec4glte #cellcam #boosterantenna #Verizon #att

Absolutely great video I'm looking for the right one for rural area

[@jameswatson4110]

I just got a cell camera and my lease is in a creek bottom- Will probably have to go the same route you did there. Good information

[@eliturner9625]

I bought one of your antennas on ebay. Going try out this weekend

[@herd360]

Thank you sir

[@herd360]

I see the order. We will get it out the door tomorrow.

[@georgemullin7772]

Exalant video it's so hard to find the right external antenna

Any testing done with Muddy cams? We have a pile of muddy manifests.

[@herd360]

@anthonycrots2161 nope. I've never put my hands on a muddy but they all work on the same cellular bands so I would imagine similar results

Hello, I have two tactacam x pro cameras. Can you help me out here?, I want a antenna..I clicked on your link here..but which one should I get and what extra stuff do I need? I’m not very experienced with technology so I’d really appreciate the help. Thanks.

Will it work well on a wildgame innovation Terra Cell?

Is that a SMA Coaxial?

[@herd360]

Sma refers to the connector. Yes the connector on this camera is an SMA

[@TheBeast-tj9qo]

@herd3609 That's Correct It's Still A Coaxial Just A Sub Mini A!

[@scottshillbillyhoneybees1179]

Do you know if it will work with the new Spypoint Flex?

[@herd360]

Should have the same connection as the other Spypoints. RP-SMA

I found this 16' aluminum extension pole in the outdoor section at Home Depot

What's frequency ranges does that cover?

[@herd360]

Sorry I just saw your comment. They cover all the 4g LTE bands
698-960/1710-2700MHz

So instead of putting your money in battery"s you put in a antenna , no saving

[@herd360]

A better antenna system provides more reliable picture and video uploads because of a more stable network connection. It also saves power to do what a cellcam does by doing it more efficiently. Generally, people only run "booster" type antennas when they struggle with a signal, in which case investing in batteries would provide you no benefit. I never run AA batteries. All my cams are on external power, which I have been the industry leader in for many years. But better batteries do not help signal, so sometimes it takes both. Hope you have a productive season. Thanks for watching and commenting.
