Stealth Cam Fusion: Budget Friendly High Quality Cellular Camera

Stealth Cam has been in the trail camera industry for a long time. They are known for the high-quality pictures that their cameras produce. High-quality pictures and cellular cameras usually don’t go together in the same sentence. Most cellular cameras send low-quality thumbnails and leave the high definition pictures on the SD card. Stealth cam has finally created a cellular camera that not only sends high-quality pictures up to 26MP but is budget-friendly at just over $100. 

What Is So Special About The Fusion Cell Cam? 

Most cell cams are complicated to set up and require you to go buy a SIM Card, get on your computer, activate it, and set up an account. The Stealth Cam Fusion takes the guesswork out of activation and will have you transmitting pictures in a matter of minutes. The most spectacular feature of the Fusion Camera is that the cost isn’t much more than a non-cellular camera. Several companies are charging over three hundred dollars per camera.
