Camera works alright
I got my SPYPOINT micro about a week ago. I took it to the field and it worked great! Batteries lasted about a week before needing changed in my case. It stopped sending pictures to the app. About a day after I went ahead and swapped the batteries because they had gotten down to %30. I started it back up in the field and it worked for a night. Now it shows that the fresh batteries I put in are already at %40 and it stopped sending me pictures. I’m still in the free trail for unlimited photos. I looked up what may be the issue. I followed the video provided and none of these work. I want it to work because it cost a decent amount of money I think it should last a little longer than a week after the purchase. If anyone has any idea to fix this that would be great.Show lessMasonMons.
Great camera but have a request for the app
I have the spypoint link WM and it’s a great camera. Gets the job done. I actually had purchased a camera from Walmart, got it and went to activate it and it would not work for some reason, even using spypoint customer support we could not get it to work, so I exchanged it at Walmart and this new one works great. Although I do have a request. The spypoint app has no option to change the picture notification sound and I would possibly like to do that to find a louder picture alert notification to wake me in the middle of the night, being that we are having a pig issue at our place and I would like to go out and take care of them when they are there. Is it possible for y’all to allow the option of changing the sound for the notification??Show lessTrevorb14
Will not work
I bought a spypoint cell link for
My spypoint camera I have been using for the passed 2 years. Love my camera and have never had a issue. Got the cell link so I could see the pictures without having to drive down and change out my sd cards to view the the pictures. After booking it up and going step by step instructions. The app has never worked. When you go to the spypoint support, all the pictures on the support page do not match up with the app display pages. On the app I can see the camera is communication with my cell link and has never sent any pictures through the app at all. I know it’s nothing with the camera. I set up my other spypoint on the opposite side of this opening facing towards the spypoint with the cell link with a regular sd card inside it and is taking pictures so I know it’s not an issue of nothing in the frame and the cell link unit has always showed full signal strength. Also if you through the instruction book that comes with the cell link it also does not line up with the website and/app display as it says. This was a waste of money and time and I would not recommend it to anyone. In the future after dealing with this now I will buy a Muddy cell camera and activate it with my AT&T plan.Show lessJrs8926
App has improved a lot
This app has improved a lot over the last year. I do t like that it still goes to the login screen every time you open it, but since the password is saved it is ok
I’d like if they could put a setting in the app to disable the camera from uploading pics. I k ow there is a cellular option but if you turn that off and then back on it will upload the pics that were taken while it was off. The use case is that if I k ow it is going to be windy all day today I’d rather be able to turn the cellular off to prevent uploading of unnecessary pics- BUT still keep them on the sad card. AND when I turn it back on- it will only upload new pics taken AFTER being turned back on.Show lessPaggle
Nice concept, but disappointing performance
This Link-Micro was my first trail cam and purchased primarily to capture pics of vehicles, including rear license plates, which enter/exit our 500 ft long driveway. Getting pics of wildlife is nice, also. Camera operation and iPhone app setup were relatively simple, although did need to format SD card in computer. Camera ate up 8 alkaline batteries in less than one month and 350 pictures. Switched to lithium and those are still showing 100% charge after 3 weeks and 200+ pictures. Tried several different camera settings and locations, but found it’s hit or miss to capture good picture of the rear of a vehicle. Have it set up to take 2 “instant” photos of every detection, but shutter speed is such that it usually only captures a vehicle or wildlife in only one picture and sometimes misses entirely. It rarely captures the rear of our vehicles with normal use of our driveway, so it’s doubtful we would catch a good shot of a potential intruder vehicle. If it does capture rear of vehicle, must take SD card out of camera to view picture on computer to have a chance of reading license plate. Might be able to make out make, model and color of vehicle, if daylight picture. An annoyance is failure of iPhone Spypoint app to remember login credentials, in spite of checking “Remember Me” box. Also, initial screen usually appears each time, in spite of checking box for “Do Not Show Again.”Show lessRickJ506
Honest opinion
I bought spypoint when they first rolled out and paid close to what i paid for my very first trail cam in the early 90’s, so i understand cost for innovation. I never experienced battery issues, but i do use the recommended energizers, actually my batteries lasted all season into summer. The only issue i had was when i called for support, i waited an hour and a half, but support was very good when i got thru. I then went to cabelas and saw the micro on sale for $100, that kind of explains the slow support.
Regardless of support, i have bought three micros since and cant be happier for the money. Pictures are not as good as evo but i can count points!
Thanks for the great product, several of my friends and i enjoy them and the referral program.Show lessIfishdog1
The price is great bait... but save yourself the hassle!
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!!!!Show lessSeek None
Decent camera but unable to get service
I have 2 link evos about a year old. Both have had issues after the batteries die. For some reason you have to reboot multiple times and leave camera on each detection so you know that it transmits before you leave the woods. Multiple times I’ve left only to have to return to reboot. That doesn’t work well when the property is 400 miles away. One doesn’t work at all. Tried all their tips and it just won’t work. IR flash stays on for 12 seconds at night and the shutter stays open I think. Pictures are horrible, but it won’t transmit those either. Kills lithium batteries in a day. I’ve tried email twice, called 3 times, and chat twice(52) in queue. No response after 2 weeks. Buy this camera knowing that it’s a little difficult to get working at times and tech support has been non existent due to overwhelming support needed for link micro according to their website.Show lesses5428
App quit working
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.Show lessDapfnnfj
Great camera & App
I bought 2 Micro Link trail cameras and have had them out 1 week now and each camera has transmitted over 100 pictures. I have really enjoyed seeing what’s in my hunting areas in real time. I love the app and it’s ability to make changes to the camera remotely from my phone. I also bought 1 security box and I like it much better than the strap for mounting to the tree and I will be ordering another because I have had cameras stolen before. If I had to say anything negative about these cameras it would be the picture quality that is sent to your phone. They are a little fuzzy, SPYPOINT app says this is normal because pictures are compressed to be sent to your phone but the pictures are also captured on your SD card in the camera and they are top notch quality. The Micro Link is a awesome cellular trail cam at a great price.Show lessForemanRubicon
