Can Moultrie cameras work without cellular service?

April 5, 2026

Quick Answer

Yes, Moultrie cameras can work without cellular service, offering users a non-cellular option for remote image and video capture.

Non-Cellular Options

Moultrie cameras come with various non-cellular options, including Wi-Fi and satellite connectivity. While these alternatives require specific setup and infrastructure, they allow for remote image and video capture without the need for cellular service. For example, the Moultrie A-35i Wi-Fi camera can store images and videos on an SD card, which can then be transferred to a computer or mobile device via a local Wi-Fi network.

Satellite Connectivity

Satellite connectivity is another option for non-cellular Moultrie cameras. The Moultrie i50i is a trail camera that uses satellite connectivity to transmit images and videos to a user’s account. This camera uses the same satellite service as smartphones and requires a subscription to transmit data. Users can expect to pay around $20-$30 per month for data transmission, and images are transmitted to the user’s account at regular intervals.

Setup and Considerations

When setting up a non-cellular Moultrie camera, users should consider the camera’s power source, memory capacity, and connectivity options. For example, the Moultrie A-35i Wi-Fi camera requires a 6-volt battery and can store up to 32 GB of images and videos on an SD card. Users should also consider the camera’s sensitivity settings and image quality to ensure optimal performance in their specific hunting environment.
