Moultrie started off 2009 with a bang when they announced the new Game Spy trail cameras. The entire family is receiving a face lift and getting some really exciting upgrades. All the units will be quite smaller than last year because they are now running on 4 D cell batteries. But the big surprise was the unveiling of the Moultrie Game Management System. The trail cameras will now be backed by an optional cellular service and an entire online suite of tools. Lets take a closer look at the program and the tools. **CHECK OUT THE NEW VIDEO OF THE MOULTRIE GAME MANAGEMENT SYSTEM**
The Moultrie Game Management System allows you to connect your cellular enabled Moultrie I-45, I-65, M-45, M-65 with the internet. Once you have credited an account on the MGMS website, you can validate your camera by entering the SIM number from the cellular modem. Your account will then contain information about your cellular plan, pictures from your cameras and maps.
Now here are a couple of really amazing things that the Moultrie Game Management System enables you to do from the luxury of your easy chair. From your personal computer or smart phone, you can control the settings of your trail camera from the MGMS site. This means you can change the delay between photos by using your blackberry. How convenient. You can also plot the photos on an aerial photo of your deer hunting lease.
And the question that everybody will be asking "How much is this going to cost me"
The entry level data plan only costs $29.99 per month. This plan will allow you to transmit approximately 238 images per month. Moultrie is also stating that there will be no surprise charges. So when you sign up for the $29 plan you know you are going to be billed $29. When deer season is over, you can idle your account for a 3 month period. All plans can be reduced to $12.99 for that 3 month period. | Estimated Number Of Images | | Upload Resolution | Pixel Count | Scout Plan | Pro Scout Plan | Guide Plan | Pro Guide Plan | Ranch Plan | Outfitter Plan | | LOW WEB | 320 x 240 | 238 | 475 | 950 | 2380 | 11900 | 47600 | | LOW | 640 x 480 | 58 | 116 | 230 | 580 | 2900 | 11600 | | MEDIUM | 1280 x 960 | 20 | 40 | 80 | 200 | 1000 | 4000 | | HIGH | 1648 x 1236 | 10 | 20 | 40 | 100 | 500 | 2000 | | ENHANCED | 2592 x 1944 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 50 | 250 | 1000 | | Plan Cost | | $29.99 | $39.99 | $49.99 | $69.99 | $99.99 | $149.99 | Standard Game Management Package The Standard Game Management package is included with each of the above six data plans.

- Easily edit, save and share your pictures.
- Monitor and change your camera settings or view your pictures while logged in to your account from anywhere in the world with Internet availability.

The terms and conditions when creating an account has the following statement.
There is a $29.95 activation fee to set up your account. Your credit card will be billed on the 24th of each month for the plan rate you have selected. Your plan selected at setup is for 12 months. An early cancellation fee of $99.00 will be charged to your account if service is terminated before the 12 month contract expires. Of course one huge concern will be if AT&T has coverage in your hunting area. Take a look at the map below if you are not sure. 
I am really excited about the new Moultrie Game Management System. We expect the new 2009 Moultrie Trail cameras to be released in June/July. Once the cameras are released and the Moultrie site is opened up, we will open this category for reviews.
