No trail camera with cellular capability is completely free of ongoing costs — but TKENPRO trail cameras like the CB84S record locally to a microSD card without any active data plan, making local-only operation the closest real-world answer to zero monthly fees.

The distinction worth understanding: every TKENPRO cellular trail camera supports continuous local recording to a microSD card (up to 128GB) without a subscription. You lose remote live view, motion alert delivery to your phone, and cloud access — but the camera keeps capturing footage. The built-in SIM activates a 7-day unlimited data trial; after that, a paid cellular data plan is required only if you want remote access. If local SD-only recording meets your needs, no monthly fee applies.

  • TKENPRO CB84S local microSD recording works without an active data plan — up to 128GB supported.
  • The built-in SIM includes a 7-day unlimited data trial before any paid plan is required.
  • Paid cellular data plans start at $19.99/month or $169.99/year per camera for remote access.
  • Remote live view, motion alerts, and photo delivery to your phone all require an active data plan.
  • Each TKENPRO trail camera requires its own individual data plan — plans cannot be shared across units.
