The Trail Cameras feature in onX Hunt lets you place camera locations on your map, track which direction each camera faces, log battery and SD card changes, and upload photos—all in the same place where you do the rest of your scouting.
Note: Premium users will see a Trail Cameras button in the bottom toolbar. Elite users may see an Insights button in the same location—tap or click Insights and scroll down to access Trail Cameras.
