Target Camera System: What's Best?

I recently bought the Longshot LR3 and am really impressed with them. I had some issues connecting to both cameras in the field but I am not too tech-savvy. We finally got things hooked up and shot at 1 miles on steel and could spot and mark impacts very precisely. I had the cameras well away from the target (over 30 feet) and the resolution was phenomenal. I don't have any experience with any other brands but the Longshot is excellent.
 
I had the Caldwell long range target cam. It worked but I found it very frustrating. The gooseneck that holds the camera is terrible and I often had trouble getting the WiFi to connect.
I switched to the Longshot and never looked back. Quality product, great resolution and very easy to set up. The only word of caution is that at longer ranges (well over 1000 y) you will need to mount the camera/transmitter on a taller tripod. I use it with an android tablet and have not had difficulty connecting. The only other recommendation is to buy the fast charger with it.
I never used the Bullseye so I can't comment on it.
 
Longshot it is! Thanks guys!
Look at their Bullet Proof Warranty. IIRC it was around $75 for a 3-year no quesiotns asked replacement on every part of the system, even if you out a bullet trough a camera. Consdiering I spent close to $1,700, I added that without a worry to my order.

They really need to come up with an external antenna option so you can stick an AR500 plate behind the camera and run the antenna over the top for better signal. As they come, if you block the camera with a plate you cant connect to the hub.
 
I got the LR-3 through Brownells because at the time the extra 2-year bulletproof warranty was the same price as without. Plus Brownells has the lifetime guarantee so if 10 years from now it breaks or I don't want it anymore, I'd send it in for a new one or store credit. The camera has been flawless.
