I noticed this when the county fair came to town a mile away from my property because of the network load. The signal on my cell camera dropped when it was going on but as soon as it was over and there weren't 1,000+ people on their phones right down the road the signal strength went back up to full coverage.
Great video. Can you give any input on whether painting/ camouflaging your antenna with a non-metal paint will hurt the cell transmission on a cell camera? I have seen that you can paint those big white plastic triangular cell phone boosters that you install on a house or business to boost a cell phone.
About a year ago, on a Sunday, my Cuddeback stopped sending pics. I checked the signal with my phone, and it was 2-3 bars like always, and I could call or text from the same location as the camera. Cuddeback replaced the camera twice to no avail. I took one of the new ones into town, where it worked fine. The only thing that I can surmise is that AT&T(Hell be upon them) degraded the signal or the band width on the local tower for unknown reasons. I just bought a directional antenna to try, but I have little confidence that it's going to work.
Bears. Bears chewing on your camera, especially the antenna, will reduce your signal to zero.
Great listen for every cell cam user!
Hats off to Exodus for always providing educational content.
Excellent customer service and excellent products. Thanks Chad.
Great points with the foliage! I’ve definitely seen that happen
So many variables! Great to know these as a starting point to figure out what could be going on.
This is a really important video for everyone!

I found when it's an overcast day not raining or anything just cloudy my signal seems to works best
Does this effect a camera mounted inside a camp
When I’m close to my cell cam it has 2 bars of signal but when I move say 20 feet away it drops completely and I have no idea why
I have an industrial work place tower a kilometer away it I helped my phone big time nothing on my trail cam it doesn't recognize the tower
easy way ?..simple..if your cell phone does not get signal ..then you can bet your bottom dollar a cell cam wont either !.
All this money for cell camera's and the technology is no where near to what it needs to be. I got a $300 paperweight.
