Would this be practical to use to check trail cam pictures or would I have to download all pics from card onto Ipad before viewing?

You can look without downloading. But easier to see them if downloaded. Easy to delete what you don't want or keep.

No, Salty. Use a card if you want to record what is going on, and you don't have it connected to WiFi. With the app, your recordings and pictures are saved on your phone. You may be able to save the video to the card by changing the settings, but I no longer am using it, so I couldn't tell you if you can.

Either should work. The high speed cards are only needed in cameras with large sensors and rapid shooting (like a Nikon D-800). In a trail cam, any of the cards should be fine. You aren't shooting bursts of 20-30 24 MPix images in a few seconds. In the manual they only call for class 4 cards for stills and class 10 for HD video, 32 gig max.

I use and app on my iPhone called iCam. I have multiple cameras at my home and work and all of them show up on my iOS devices. Additionally I can choose to record motion event and or send me text notifications when there is motion. Works flawlessly.

You can put the app on a number of phones to monitor the camera. But having the camera now for two weeks i would not recommend it. The user interface and application are not highly functional and I have been unable to find a way to get it to capture motion events. The documentation stinks. I was trying to buy something cheaper than a Dropcam but I am afraid I will have to shell out more money for that.

hi there....I have this unit, absolutely love it for location shoots for my clients to view right on the spot..they are always impressed when they see it on an ipad....any DLSR that has a usb connection on the side of the camera should work...you just need to find out what kind of usb connection it is, whether it is a micro or something else..cords come with the camranger and the cords should have come with your camera too. If you have any questions on buying the unit, contact them directly they are great about answers. Also, if you buy it and shoot raw, it is extremely slow. I contacted them and they told me to put it in small jpeg and raw so the viewing would be faster for download. hope this helps

It only reads SD Cards sort of like an external memory adapter. If using with iPhone, iPod Touch via iFile (Cydia) meaning it needs to be jailbroken if using in iPad no jailbreak necessary but it only works to transfer photos and videos and things like that

No, but u can download the phone version on the iPad I figure is because the purpose of the app is to have your pics on the go and iPad is not really on the go if you think about it,many people have only the wifi kind I have both but never crossed my mind spending the money in a data plan for the iPad knowing that I have it on my phone but the phone version will do the same thing. Anyway I hope that helps

You can view them all at the same time. I currently have 2 cameras and use Y-Cams app on my iPhone to view them all at the same time. You can select them to view the full screen version of one cam if you need to zoom in.

Yah that's correct. This varies quite a bit though. If you only have 5 photos to load it's a lot faster than if you have 50 photos. I wouldn't consider this device lightning fast by any means but it does allow you to access the card without having to plug it into a computer which is handy in it's own right.

you can watch whats on the sd card in what ever you can put the sd card into--- I have viewed my card from my phone-- but its a pain to take the back off and replace the card just to watch it

I can delete the pictures from the SD card on my computer by selecting the pictures I want to delete, then right click, choose delete. If you put that back in your trail camera it will take pictures on the SD card. That's how I used to do it. I complained about battery performance on my trail cameras, and was verbally told on Moultrie's support line, if you freshly format the SD card when you put it in the trail camera that will use it, it will be optimal for storing images and be easier on the batteries. I took that advice and got 3 months of heavy use in cold weather where earlier.. I was barely getting a month. I've adopted that as standard practice for me. either way your trail camera should keep taking pictures .. until the batteries get too low... ;)

Yes! When its plugged into the I-Pad the picture open up in the I-Pad and you can look at, copy to I-pad or even delete the pictures from the card.

Yes it is without going thru a computer. I bought the Apple SD card adapter for the iPad, hooked it up to the iPad, took the SD card out of he camera, put it into the adapter and after a wait, depending on the photos in your SD card - the photos loaded into my iPad. It was great as I was able to view the photos that I took everyday that eveneing while I was on holiday.

I've only used it to download birdseye images for areas that are available on the maps. I don't think you can download the aerial images without the maps because you'd have to be able to select an area on the map. If you don't have the maps, then you won't have an area to select for the aerial images to download. You're probably better off caching offline images from Google. Garmin's birdseye service is not worth the money IMO. The downloads are at a snails pace...like it's a dial-up-modem from the 90's. They also outright LIE about having up to date imagery. I've downloaded large areas of my state and the majority of the images are at least 4-5yrs old if not older.

I've used "IP Cam Viewer" on my Android phone and can view 4 cams at once. Should work on a tablet. They have a free "lite" version that works well, but with limited features...but still should meet your needs.

This is NOT a general storage device. The Apple iOS will only acknowledge and upload <one way> certain file types (.jpg, etc for images and .mov, etc for video). That is all. It is not theddevice's limitation it is Apple's constraints.
