Link Dark
This is my first cellular trail camera. I was extremely skeptical at first due to some of the negative reviews. I’ve only had the camera for one day but I wanted to write a review because this camera has surpassed my expectations in every department thus far.
I’ve used a lot of trail cameras in the past. Cuddeback, Reconyx, Stealth Cam, etc..
The link dark was easier to set up than any other camera I’ve used. I had no problems linking my camera to the app. I then put the camera in my living room to see if it would take pictures and If they would send them to my phone. I’m receiving all the pictures on my phone. (Great picture quality) can’t wait to see how clear they are on the SD card.
The only problem I’ve had is trying to change the cameras settings through the app. I would recommend to change the settings, through the camera, like photo delay before you put the camera in the field. It’s extremely easy to do on the camera and once you have your preferences picked out you’re ready to rock.
Great product so far! Look forward to purchasing some more.Show lesschase chastain
Thought I’d like it
I was really excited about my new Link-S Cameras and getting everything set up in this app. The app has worked well, and the cameras have worked well, setup was easy. BUT, I’m not getting full resolution photos. Reading other reviews, I am seeing that it is designed to put the full resolution photo on the SD card and sends a highly compressed garbage image to the app. Ok... so why am I paying for a cellular camera if I have to go and retrieve the photos in person??? For the alerts? I don’t need alerts, I wanted a remote access solar camera. Very misleading advertising. If the box shows 12megapixel quality, it should stay 12 megapixel in all uses of the device. Or put a giant disclaimer next to that saying “It can take 12mp pictures, but you won’t ever see that unless you drive out to your camera and download the SD card”.Show less3855312799432

I have had a great experience with the link evo cameras. I purchased 2 of them due to needing surveillance on my seasonal property that has no power that had been broken into. Not only were they easy to set up but 1 week after setting them up I was alerted by one of the cameras of another break in and was able to give the police a very detailed play by play report of what I was seeing so they could get the officers there and catch the two men in the act. If you have a seasonal cabin these work wonderful for surveillance. I have also had great technical support answering any/all my questions and concerns. Thank you SPYPOINT I highly recommend you and the link-evo!Show lessGinger1996
Expensive, fragile, glitchy, not waterproof at all!
I’m on my second camera due to the first one getting water internally from a rainstorm. The plan cost me $180 a year to have and I had major issues getting it to send pictures. It’s my least favorite trail cam due to the over $400 I have invested in it. Picture quality is downright terrible, fails to send pictures half the time. Startup is a nightmare. After this plan is up I’ll be selling it in hopes of getting some of my investment back out of it. I should have read reviews before I bought it like I do everything else. Don’t get sucked in by the free plan. Squirrels and raccoons will eat that plan up and you have a standard trail cam again. It said on the box it was capable of 48 mp but I haven’t seen any ability to make it 48 mp. It’s like an ancient cell phone camera at best. I’d recommend any other brand cell transmitting camera over this one.Show lessStony pirate
