Reconyx 4G SC950C Review

Model # SC950cvz  |  

The American-made 4G Reconyx SC950c is the most dependable and durable cellular camera on the market. It also scores high marks in picture quality, case design, and trigger speed. It does fall behind in battery life and the lack of a smartphone app (lack of two-way communication). This is a lot of money for a trail camera, but it remains the only choice for true durability and longevity.  -TCP Staff

Picture Quality:  

Photo resolution:  3.1 mpxl

Video Resolution: None 

Flash Type:  No Glow Infrared

Since this is a cellular game camera there are two types of pictures, those stored internally on the sd memory card and those sent to your phone/email.  Pictures stored to the SD card are full resolution.  You can expect clear, sharp, properly colored daytime photos and clear night photos with good contrast. These are some of the best no glow IR pictures you will find on the market.

Pictures sent to your phone/email are compressed.  They are 512 x 384.  These are substantially different from the full resolution image.  We tell folks to use these images to see what is in front of the camera and act accordingly.  These are not pictures that can be enlarged or blown up.  Larger pictures must be retrieved from the sd card.
