Pros & Cons

Moultrie Edge 2 Cellular Trail Camera (Auto-Connect 4G LTE)

Pros

  • Same nationwide all-four-carrier auto-connect as the Pro at a friendlier price
  • Built-in memory plus onX integration in a clean, beginner-friendly app
  • Solar-ready so you can convert it to long-haul power later
  • 36MP stills are plenty for scouting and pattern photos
  • Easy entry into Moultrie's mature cell ecosystem

Cons

  • Low-glow flash gives a faint red glow at night — not fully covert
  • Video caps at 1080p versus the Pro's 1440p
  • Cloud-tied like the Pro; no SD card backup

Universal Lithium Solar Panel Kit for Trail Cameras (Selectable 6V/12V)

Pros

  • Converts AA or external-port cameras to season-long solar power
  • Selectable 6V/12V output fits Browning, Stealth, Moultrie, and more
  • Built-in buffer battery keeps the camera fed through cloudy stretches
  • Ends the battery-swap trips to remote, hard-to-reach cameras
  • Weatherproof housing and a long cable to chase the sun

Cons

  • You must match the plug type and voltage to your camera's external port
  • Needs real sun exposure to keep up on heavy-trigger cameras
  • Not every camera has an external power port to use it
