I installed this over the weekend and it actually works as advertised! If you are interested, here is the website.
www.smartscouter.com
This is a Smart Scouter camera that sends its pictures over the cellular network to the company server so you can view, download, and e-mail the images from your computer. Every setting you would normally program with the unit in your hands can be controlled via the company web page. If I want the unit to send images every time it takes a pic, or once every 24 hours, make the change on the website and the unit will update itself the next time it calls in. When the camera calls the server it updates the picture count, battery level, cell phone signal strength and downloads the latest user settings. It costs about 20 bucks a month for the service and 500 low resolution images. If it starts taking too many pictures, you can tell the camera to increase the delay, or decrease the sensativity. For that matter, you can turn it off as well. Its not cheap, but I have very limited free time, and its a 250 mile round trip to this location. I have a feeder hanging from the tree a few feet in front of the camera.
Here are some pictures it sent me. I dont have any color daytime images yet because I only have it active during the night. I will try to get some today to see how they look. I can tell it to take a pic just about anytime.
I dont have any affiliation with the company. This is something I found that works and thought you might be interested in it.
This is a low resolution image showing the range that it triggered the camera at dusk.
A few night shots
One of the first images I got. I changed the camera angle the next day
