This 4G cellular trail camera has a built-in 4G LTE module and supports 4G communication. Its infrared sensor (PIR) will detect moving objects, then capture a photo or video, save it to the SD card and send a notification to the mobile APP, and the photo or video can also be transmitted to the smartphone App through the 4G network. The trail camera offers cloud services, allowing photos and videos to be saved in the cloud and downloaded to your phone. Photos stored on the SD card have a 14MP resolution, while those uploaded to the cloud are in VGA resolution. It includes a free trial of the cloud service, with an in-app guide to help activate it. The camera supports live streaming for real-time viewing and remote control via your phone, making it convenient to use without being on-site. It features powerful IR LEDs for night vision up to 80 feet and automatically switches between day and night modes. An external power supply ensures long-term outdoor use. 【30-day recurring cloud storage with annual subscription】 1. Subscription cycle: one year 2.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Ucon at 3.6K against Xega's 151. Ucon also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Xega's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 83%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Ucon sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and Xega sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Xega holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ucon has 3.6K ratings behind it against 151, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Ucon's written reviews are positive against 91% of Xega's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ucon ships an update every 3 weeks, Xega every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
