I’ve been using the Y2 cell camera from Yellowstone.ai for about two months now, and I’ve been seriously impressed. Here are some of my key takeaways:
• Picture Quality: Absolutely crystal clear. The color and clarity are better than any of the 8 other cell camera brands I’ve used. It’s hands-down my favorite for image quality.
• Nighttime/Dusk Photos: The LED brightness really makes game pop in low light. Night shots are sharp, well-lit, and highly detailed.
• Video Quality: This is where the Y2 really shines. I’m a huge fan of cameras with high-quality video, and this one is easily the best I’ve owned. Both daytime and nighttime videos come through in 1080p.
• App Performance: The app has worked flawlessly for me—no crashes, no lag, super easy to navigate.
• SD+ Requests: This feature has been rock solid. The standard video sends a 3-second preview, but the SD+ gives you a full 10-second HD clip with audio. The video I shared came straight from the app, not pulled from the SD card—and the quality speaks for itself.
• Cell Signal: Even in spots where my phone has zero service, this camera is still sending videos without issue. I had one bar/sos only on my phone and this camera reads 4 bars of service and is sending videos without a problem. Big win there.
• Warranty: Excellent coverage and really solid warranty!
• Monthly Plans: They’re a little on the pricey side, but you get more video data than most competitors, so the value is definitely there.
• Customer Service: Responsive and helpful every time I’ve reached out. Quick turnaround on questions or concerns.
• Solar Panel: It’s been keeping the batteries fully charged the entire time I’ve had it out.

Overall, this is hands down the best trail camera I’ve owned. If you’re on the fence, I highly recommend giving it a shot—I think you’ll be just as impressed as I’ve been.
