SPYPOINT

The camera isn’t perfect, but it does what’s advertised. It’s virtually a maintenance free camera in regards to battery life. What more can you ask for with a cellular camera. I do wish it had the option to send pics on demand, but every 2 hours isn’t bad. The transmitted pics are good, not great. More than good enough to get a good look a what’s been coming around. The pictures off the sd card are extremely good. You should be using class 10 card high speed card. My signal was 1-2 bars so installed an external antenna and now never below 3 bars. The camera won’t operate at it fullest capacity unless the signal is at least 3 bars. Remember that the camera is NOT associated with your own cell phone carrier. It’s all thru SPYPOINT. It’s very important to check what cell carrier has the best reception at your particular place. I added antenna to my at&t camera and my buddy gets a constant 4-5 bars with Verizon version and is about 1/4 mile from me. The only issue I have with the app is that most of the time I can’t check internal battery percentage. I have to keep pressing internal battery tab and it will just randomly pop up sometimes. Other than that, it’s a great camera.

I purchased and have had in the field since April 2019 a Dark Link camera. My camera quit transmitting pictures with all indicators on the camera showing a strong signal and battery strength. After 2 weeks and several phone calls the Customer Service had me do a hard reset and reinstall the camera to the website app. My Premium service plan was deleted and had to be reset up after another Trail period. SPYPOINT assured me that the first account was deleted and I would not be billed for the next month service. Guess what I was billed for the “deleted” account. Several more phone calls/emails, submission of my bank transaction and I was refund. Part 2 set up the account a second time every thing was working fine till the end of July when I started to get completely washed out over exposed daylight pictures. I used the text feature in the app and I would wait most times a day for a response. I would answer and wait. I finally kept manipulating the settings of the camera through the app and the daylight pictures started working. A few days later the night mode pictures went dark showing a full screen black image. Through all this I have given up on customer support help. They are untimely and do not seem to know the product very well. I Use the cuddelink system also and have had no issues running 4 cameras. I bought SPYPOINT because of the app & the camera so I am hoping that I can get it straightened out

50% battery used for over 800 photos at max settings and continuous photo transfers. Probably could stretch it to a couple months on easier settings. Trigger speed a little slow, missed about 20% of activity, similar to other past average priced cameras I’ve had. Wireless was fine for me. I mapped the cell towers to pick a set up spot that wasn’t too blocked, and got 100% transfer rate. 1st time setup was a little frustrating, but it worked itself out. App was simple and user friendly, but it claimed a cat was a turkey lol and only claimed 1 out of 20 doe pics as a doe. Maybe bucks work better. I loved the idea of being able to change camera settings from the phone, especially one windy days that eat up your SD card and batteries with trophy pics of shadows and swaying branches. Overall I’ve see much worse. I think it will shine best paired with a field scan or fast reliable regular camera. That way you won’t miss any SD pics at the end and yet still get a preseason peek from home into activity without disturbing your spot.

So I have 2 Link Micro cameras, one Verizon and one at&t. I’ve had to return both at least once, I’ve had to go to the woods on a regular to pull the cameras due to problems(defeats purchase) and I’ve had to delete and re-download the app at least 15 times. The price is amazing and the photo plans price is good, don’t bite down on the hook just yet cause it looks tasty...I’ve contacted them on messenger over 50 times regarding issues, It always the owners fault, they give you this preschool instruction that fixes absolutely nothing. So before you think dang... slap yourself in the face and say DONT DO IT, because by the time you have used fuel bought batteries( for me every other week)and wasted your time chasing down customer service, covering your area with unnecessary scents from trying to get what you paid for to actually do what it’s suppose to... TAKE MY ADVICE AND BUY THE BETTER ONE(OF A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER) you can thank me later.....or now but I promise you you will. Maybe they take better care of the ones who they actually sponsor but there are definitely more blue collar hunters than TV paid hunters so when they say “ OH I LOVE SPYPOINT CAMERA’S “ it’s probably because they didn’t pay for it or they get better service because they are putting their name across the screen. Ok and I’m sorry for the rant but if you buy one.... you’ll know!!!!

I see a lot of recent reviews that the app has quit working, same thing here. Funny thing is, it worked just fine until I upgraded to a month-to-month photo transmission plan. Now it is doing like others are saying, says “connecting” but never connects. I logged onto the website and tried to turn off the auto-renewal for the subscription, and it will not let me. The website doesn’t seem to work right either. Looks like they either have some serious technology issues or have a pretty good scam going here. If you are on the free plan now, DO NOT UPGRADE! It will mess up your account. The camera itself was working okay. It does have issues with condensation getting on the lens, and the pictures that are transmitted are not good quality. Haven’t pulled the SD card yet, so don’t know if the quality is better there. Bottom line is, pay a little more and buy a better camera that has an established record for proper app functionality. This app is junk, and their customer service in non-existent. I was on hold for over 45 minutes before I decided to hang up. I’ll try to email them, but I am not expecting much there either.
