Personally I don't think a midnight dump is good enough but it would be a step in the right direction. That's still giving you very recent information every day that you wouldn't otherwise have. You still know when the good one "shows up" in an area or starts to daylight.
 
I would vote for a midnight drop. I enjoy looking at the action that took place overnight when I wake up in the morning. For the record I own 2 cell cams and I had zero 4 months ago. Bought them so I could check cameras without intruding which a delay still accomplishes.

I love the idea of AI photo interpretation - send it instantly if the picture has a person or a vehicle but delay it if deer or other animals. My cameras are for much more than watching deer, I am also watching farms I do not live on for both trespassing and security reasons.
 
24hr Delay while being used for hunting purpose. (Hard to enforce however)

If on a gate or building or any non hunting scenario no delay.(again another hard to enforce)
 
All in on one dump on delay at midnight. Like a couple others I wish they’d straight ban cell cams all together if possible.

Whatever makes most sense for "Fair" Chase. Cell cams aren't fair chase and are electronic means of communication so not sure how they continue to be allowed anyway but that's another debate.

You could easily eliminate them at the "company" level. They hold the power with the servers/storage . Has a deer on it, doesn't get forwarded to you and camera is removed from the cell plan..if they notice a driveway/gate that is majority vehicle/human access then it gets a last. Be interesting to see how much cell companies are making off this bump.

Good points. My son reminded me the other day that modern security systems already classify the images that they pick up...vehicle detected, person detected, etc.

So for the purposes of security the technology pretty much already exists to screen out deer, etc.
 
Question for everyone and I am in the boat of 1 time dump at say 7:00 at night, after hunting light but far away from sunrise.

What about normal cams - I often times pull a card and check it in the tree or before I hunt. Generally to kill time, or see if deer have been using an area consistently. Do we implement the same rule- as in can’t hunt the same day, etc? Just curious everyone’s thoughts.
 
Great question. I'd say this is fine. You are already there so it didn't impact if you would go hunting or where. I suppose it might impact how long you stay....
