Overview
Moultrie's Edge Solar pairs an integrated, adjustable solar panel with automatic 4-carrier cellular connection, so it picks a network without a SIM card and can be mounted in more remote spots. Photos and on-demand video route to the Moultrie app and cloud, with AI flagging bucks specifically to cut down on empty alerts.
One reviewer received a battery that would not hold a charge and had no way to check its status remotely, only discovering the failure after the camera stopped reporting in.
- 40MP photos, 1080p HD video with audio
- Integrated adjustable solar panel, no AA batteries
- Automatic 4-carrier cellular connection, no SIM
- AI buck detection with cloud photo storage
Who it's for
Hunters scouting remote or hard-to-reach ground who want solar power and AI-filtered buck photos fit this camera well. Anyone unwilling to pay a monthly plan, or who wants to check battery status on demand, should weigh that before buying.
Pros and cons
- Reliable connectivity reported in mountain and remote terrain
- AI buck detection cuts down on empty alerts
- Requires a paid subscription plan
- No remote way to check battery status on demand
- One reviewer called long-distance daytime photo quality just okay
Performance notes
The camera auto-connects to whichever of four major US carriers reads strongest on site, removing the SIM-swap step. AI processing is meant to filter alerts down to buck sightings specifically, and a 0.4 second trigger across a 100 foot PIR range is paired with an Easy Aim mount for lining up the shot while placing the camera.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Moultrie Edge Solar need a SIM card?
No, it auto-connects to the strongest of four major US cellular carriers without a SIM card or manual setup.
Can the Moultrie Edge Solar check battery status remotely?
One reviewer reported no way to check battery charge remotely and only found out it had failed once the camera stopped reporting in, so periodic on-site checks are worth planning for.
