A cellular trail camera sends photos to your phone over a cellular network, so you see activity without walking in to pull a card. The trade is a monthly plan and a bigger battery draw, because every transmission runs the radio. Figures below are read from the Amazon listing; a figure the listing does not state is marked as such rather than guessed.

What size SD card and how long will batteries last?
At a 40MP setting and 30 triggers a day, the Moultrie Edge 3 writes about 7.4GB of photos a month; 10-second 1080p clips at the same pace write about 18GB. See the Moultrie Edge 3 SD card page for every check interval.
On 8 lithium AA cells at 20 triggers a day, a cellular camera runs roughly 74 days in our battery model. That is an estimate for comparison; the battery calculator adjusts for video, cold and signal.
What does the Moultrie Mobile plan cost for this camera?
Standard includes 1,000 images and 10 videos a month; Unlimited includes 50 videos. Annual billing lowers the monthly rate. Cheapest tier by monthly photo count, one camera, from the published plan list (confirm in the app):

Frequently asked questions
Does the Moultrie Edge 3 need Wi-Fi?
No. The Moultrie Edge 3 is a cellular camera: it sends photos over a cellular network and needs a data plan and usable signal where it is mounted, not Wi-Fi. Check coverage at the exact spot before buying, since one bar at the truck can be none in a creek bottom.
What SD card does the Moultrie Edge 3 need?
At a 40MP photo setting and 30 triggers a day it writes about 7.4GB a month, so a 16GB card covers a month of photos. Video needs more. Cards over 32GB are SDXC, so confirm the maximum size the Moultrie Edge 3 accepts in its manual.
