HogEye Mini-Starlink
The HogEye Mini Starlink system is designed for hard‑to‑reach properties where cell coverage falls short but hog pressure never does. By pairing the compact Mini camera with Starlink connectivity, you get the same trapping‑specific features and real‑time control—now available almost anywhere you can see the sky. Use the resources in this section to set up your Starlink kit, fine‑tune your connection, and make sure your system is always ready when the hogs show up.
HogEye Legacy (Cameras built before Nov. 2025)
Still running a Legacy HogEye camera? You’re in the right place. Even though the original system is no longer sold, we continue to support it with replacement parts, how‑to videos, manuals, and troubleshooting guides so you can keep trapping with confidence. This section is dedicated to helping Legacy owners extend the life of their equipment and get the same field-proven performance HogEye has been trusted for from the beginning.
