I’m currently using the Reveal 3.0 PRO. It’s a good option with a user friendly app. They’re also into security cameras now if that’s interesting.
I wouldn’t overlook non cell cams as well. We lived in Hawaii when we bought our NC property. I ran (and still do) 12 or more cameras all year. Not all cell but having the extra cameras can be very helpful.

Mine are 10.5 hours away. If there's a problem, I can't just run up and fix it. The main thing I've found is making sure the cameras are setup for changing conditions. Make sure there's not a lot of weeds that will grow up to trigger it. Facing them down or towards a backstop instead of across a horizon has helped me reduce false triggers. Make sure it's not facing right in the sun or shadows passing. I use Tactacam XB and Spypoint flex-m cameras. I have solar panels on the Tactacams and battery boxes on the Spypoints. The Tactacams have a better picture quality, but the Spypoints don't cost anything per month if you can set them up in an area to take advantage of the 100 pics/month free plan. I will probably get more Spypoints to put on trails and pass through spots. Monitoring access points into your property is also something to consider.

I agree with everything the others said. Running a few good cell cameras at strategic spots, then sprinkle some noncell cams for better coverage at a cheaper price.
For non-cell cams I've had really good luck with Browning and Bushnell. We're running Tactacam for cell coverage. I've always wanted cuddylink but have questions about the reliability. I have a friend who runs them year round from a thousand miles away and they seem to work for him, but he's almost always down a camera for various technical reasons.
