SpyPoint Link Micro SOLAR Review 

Watched your video to the end. Look forward to your next trail cam review

Just found your page as I was looking for reviews on cellular cameras! Your video helped out a lot it’s nice to see honest reviews before you buy something can’t wait to see what you have in store on your next video!

Hey Joe...absolutely loved this video. Got a lot of questions answered from viewing it and I'll be watching some of your other ones. Thanks!

I've been considering some trail cams, and really appreciate the info in this video. For that matter, I love watching all your videos...especially the Ventrac videos...LOL. THANKS!

Also a big Browning fan. Thanks for the honest reviews. Pros and cons exist across the board, and I appreciate your candor.

I saw your video after I had already purchased the camera. Never had a cell camera previously. I will keep you posted on my thoughts as to if it meets my needs or not. Very helpful video. Thanks!!

Excellent review I have been looking at buying one of these thank you 👍👍

Was here to the end. LOL. Can’t wait for the next reveal. Could not use for hunting, but might be able to use to track trespassing & wildlife.

Your a great host love watching your videos honesty is key to gaining more viewers like myself great job Tony from Moncton NB 🇨🇦

Enjoyed this honest review.

Thanks Joe, appreciate your review, I’d like to see the ones you think are the best. I’m running 11 cellular cameras year round in a very tough environment, Southern Fl, for 12 years now and have been through about all of them, so I’d like to hear about some of the new ones. Thanks

Great video Joe lots of information on that spy point keep your videos coming very informative and really like the one about the salt Redmond salt saves a lot of money thank you

I have 3 of these and they work pretty good. The HD downloads help on the photos.

Can not wait to see the new camera. I have 10 spypoints on my 155 acres

Good video, you are right on regarding the setup and picture quality

Thanks for the review. I was thinking about trying this camera out but now I will check into the Browning. Thanks for the information.

Just started watching. Looking forward to more on new trail cams and what's ahead. Want to get into it and waiting to see what see have to show us. Mr G from Pa.

Thanks Joe, appreciate your straight-up comments. I'm looking for a camera for a security application and will be checking out your other videos.

Hi Joe, I agree not the best on the market, but affordable for just about everyone. One thing I do find amusing, every trail camera I've owned, even back to the 8 d cell ones said "don't face the sun when placing your camera", these, face the sun so the battery can charge. I've had great success with the Link Mico with Lithium batteries. Getting about 10 months of straight use. Again, yep, better cameras available, but got mine for $80 and $15 for a security box. Can't beat that. Take care!

So I just bought a twin pack and I find the same thing happening in mind one word one didn't and pictures are grainy I wish I would have seen your video earlier we appreciate you doing these demonstrations keep up the good work

Just watched your video and starting to test this camera. Key for me will be the solar capability as I will be 6 hours from the camera most of the time. Appreciate your review

This Video is helping me to decide what type of camera to buy for security for my land in the event of / Preparing if sh*t hits the fan.

Just found your channel and subbed. Looking forward to more reviews.

Running 4 but all around £50. Bought another for £124 with solar power but still testing it. Really need one with 4G or all but prices still bit high. I will keep looking and watching your videos. Cheers, Pedro from UK

I wish I wouldve saw this before I bought them but they are charging now and I'm going to put them out this evening. Thank you buddy

Can't wait to see the review.

I watched the video to the end. I have moultrie cameras and I am not completely satisfied. A friend suggested the Spypoint solar camera and this video was very helpful in understanding the pros and con's of Spypoint.

Ok Joe..you definitely have my curiosity going.. I have 2 of the spypoint cams and there awesome for taking grainy pictures of squirrels lol.but they do eat batteries and there tech support is not good nor is there app. My Browning however is awesome. I like the ability to receive a 10 sec video and the 2 minute video setting is what I use all the time. Also new model coming out in June!!. Tactacam x is not quite there yet but it does alow 59 second videos but does not transmit them..Anyway can't wait to see what the mystery cam is..@#@. keep doing these awesome videos!! Rick From Virginia

Thank you for putting this video out. I think it's going to do what I need. Which is just letting me know , real time, when the hogs are tearing my property up.

I liked your review of the dpypoint solar camera

I agree those camera mounts are great, I will use the strap with my go pro and clamp attachment

First time watching one of your videos. Great in depth video I was looking for. You should link in your description. To help people find things in your video easier. Thanks in advance!

Great video thanks for the info

I have 3 of these cameras, hd photos to cell are very sharp! solar works awesome!

I got my spypoint solar on sale for $110. Been using it for a while now, my pics sent to my phone are pretty good, if it a buck I want a better look at, I get the HD pics for $5. I can see needing something better for security camera or something, but for scouting deer, I'm happy with mine. But thanks for the video, it's good to let people know what is out there and how it works...

I really like your videos

Great Video

Excellent video..

Good review

My buddy uses the Reveal cellular camera and loves it and I think that's going to be my next camera. Current camera is the Spypoint link LTE

Deciding on one check them all out

Very honest review, I was looking for a solar powered camara and I am sold on solar tech! I have 15 panels. My hunting grounds are at least 1hour away from my house and I’d like to save time and fuel. Are there any other on the market I can research with solar?

Just bought 2 micro link lte cams . 🤣 Time will tell … picked up a couple of solar battery packs ($49. ) so I can mount the camera out of the sun but solar panel into the sun . Also have a couple of yagi antennas left over from cell boosters that should improve reception .

You said you’d go with Tactacam reveal, one of the old ones. What model are you referring too? Thanks.

Good Quality video and information. Looking for a low priced cellular camera for monitoring a property several hours away , few photos needed nor great photo quality required . What camera has lasted longest without battery issues or visiting site for camera updates etc?

Thanks for the video review. Thanks for your comments pertaining to reliability. We are two and a half hours from our hunting area in south Texas. Cameras are in place year around. I have about a year and a half worth of experience with Spypoint. Before purchasing my first trail camera, I watched other hunters in my group deal with replacing batteries and swapping SD cards--this I do not want to do and want cellular connectivity. The Spypoint seemed like a bargain with the included solar panel and lithium battery. Photo quality is less than others but that's ok--they had to cut corners somewhere at this price point. I purchased my Spypoint Link Micro S a year and a half ago. The device failed a year ago due to moisture entering the device. Spypoint warranty service promptly replaced with a new unit. I sealed the new unit with silicone sealant based on the RU-vid video. Now this second unit is failing or has been less reliable than expected. The solar panel seems to be 'under-engineered' as mentioned by @DFWROADKILL. I want a reliable trail camera with cellular. I am considering a newer Spypoint or Tactacam Reveal adding a lithium battery and solar panel or Keen Ranger PT.

Was looking into purchasing spy point, in your opinion what link unit works best for security as well as wild life in place of wall mounted security cameras

Hey great video. I have a question I'm going to start hunting this season down in Georgia it's a 9 hour drive for me what can you recommend battery wise or any trail cam to avoid me driving 9hr alway to replace batteries. Thanks!

I liked your review, looking for best solar/cell camera..Suggestions?

Pros and cons all of them cameras, spypoint lte antenna, free 100 pics per month, online through cellphone service love it....

We hunt year around in Texas. Hogs are sort of a thing. So our cameras are out 24/7/365. I believe the solar panel on this model was under engineered, particularly if you get a lot of pics. It really needs to point in a direction that allows it to make the very most of the sun and that isn't always desirable. I went to the other model that is basically the same camera without the solar panel. Then I add a 12 volt feeder battery and solar panel. Costs less in the end than the model with the solar panel and has more than enough power. These cameras can be finicky and the online support needs to be improved. In the end, mine have done what I need them to do and have been reliable overall.

I know your vid is a couple years old now, but i just found it while looking at these cams. Hopefully they've improved with less graininess now? I'll have to search your channel for a follow-up review or maybe gain insight from the comments. Thanks for your honest thoughts!

Good video

This camera was on sale and was going to buy this or tacticam reveal x glad I didn't buy it as I have browning now and love the pic and video quality and would not be happy with crappy quality pics

Great honest review. Glad I watched this before buying a SpyPoint. What brand do you recommend if I'm going to purchase one? I'm on a budget and am cautious of value for my money. If something is worth it then better to do it right the first time. Thanks

I have had one of these cameras and I have a bushnell camera. My problem is that they both leak water into the battery compartments. Do you have this trouble with your cameras? Do you know any tricks to stop this?

I noticed there are 2 sim cards stacked on each other behind the battery tray. One has spypoint logo and the other is AT&T. Is there a way to cut spypoint out as a middleman and just insert a sim card from a cell phone and just call into it with the number associated to the sim card we use?

I love my solar, when the leaves fall it stays charged all seasons! I had a reveal and I thought it was much more pixalated...

I have to use the straps due to Wild life Managment Area (WMA) Florida prohibits drilling anything into a tree. I have had no issue using the strap. Works fine.

I got one. Struggling with signal. How do you set the time and dates on this camera?

We have the link micro and have had alot of issues with it as well. It is working now but the quality of the picture is rough.

i have had issues with these as well. but my brother and friend bought the same ones but later in the year last year and have had no issues. not sure if its old vs new technology but i think im going to try the new flex out. I know you like the browning but its a bit more money and the spypoint has the free plan. I leave mine out most of the year cause i have a large private spot. does any other camera offer a free plan. most i have seen requires a plan. but that is not a deal breaker for me.

is the only way to get higher quality downloads to get the SD card or can you request HD in the app? Like you do with Scoutek?

You can pull hd pics over cellular. They do it like that so it’s not send a bunch of high def. Pictures.

i am working as technical support in spypoint i want to share something as a tech i will recommend putting your device into annual plan because of this reasons . . . you invest money to make hunting more easy right? but sometimes renew the plan gives you some problem like card not able to do any transaction, the card expired, or the website not able to accept so if your camera is on annual plan you get peace of mind . . . . also i advice to do long format on SD card before use and also every once in awhile to make sure the camera works on its full potential

Get Spartan. With spartan you buy data not pictures and you can change all of the settings to what you want to receive. Adding any camera to the data plan is only $5 a month and they work great.. they are also the only one you can get a live video if that is what you want. With my solar panel on the go live I don't even keep batteries in any of them. My other go cams I have external battery boxes (18AH) and it would take forever for them to die.

Always use strap and sticks to adjust angle regardless of brand from reconyx to cheap

Just found your channel am currently locked in cuddyback cells I like the camera sending pix to my phone....what state you all from Minnesota here

You can get HD photos in the app for those photos that you want to investigate further i have found.

Crap! I just purchased a pack of four for my family property 😳 I hope I don't regret it after the season ends... The battery does play a huge part in this too. In one day my camera went from 100% to 90%... WTF!?

I have 3 of these. 2 work 1 has stopped after a couple weeks.

What is the best trail camera with solar panel?

Mine has been up for one month now, I like it ok and the only functionality complaint I have is trigger speed, it's sluggish to me and doesn't send as many photos as I like. I also have a complaint about he extra crap you have to buy to get "full hd" pictures. I recommend it but if you can toss a few extra dollars, get something nicer lol. Great camera for the public land hunter, and the budget hunter, not so much for the die hard private land guys. Just my opinion.

It would be nice if they at least put a 16 megapixel camera on the trail cam so we can get better picture quality

Picture quality is good for the price for people who don’t want to pay big bucks for other camera

If you want to scout and you are not made of money, this is a great option. For the money you get a whole lot. Free 100 pics per month. No one else offers that. Every other camera you are going to pay monthly for. The battery life is fantastic and rechargeable. You will save money on batteries. Pictures are not perfect, yes, but you can tell what a deer is, what an elk is, what a bear is, what a coyote is the day it takes a picture. What exactly else do you need to know? It's getting a little premadonna that people want pics delivered to their couch, and they want them professional studio quality.

I've watched your video to the very end. I'm just trying to get into the whole cellular camera thing. I would love to be in the drawing for camera or any other cameras to be given away. Thanks in advance and my our God continue to bless you and your family in Jesus Name.

Great video - Other reviewers have stated that the app photos are grainy but when you pull the memory card out & load it into your computer the images are higher quality.. Not sure yet... let us know - Thanks for the great video...

Spy point has a 2 year warranty on trail cameras I had a camera that I had for almost 2 years that went bad called spy point they replaced it at no charge. That's why they have a 2 year warranty on it yeah on it I have over 10 cameras I had to fail so far. One failed because of ants. If I do not have battery issues with none of the cameras it lasts about 2 months. I also use the 12 V rechargeable and that last all season. I believe the issue I have is ants. I posted a video where I had a camera that I opened up to check the electronics and outpoured the ants. So I have confidence in the spy point cameras because if you reach support they will replace the camera as long as us within the 2 year warrant.

Would you do a review on MoultrieMobile?

I got one today but just now saw your video and hopefully mine will work ok. It says it takes 12hrs to charge but my green light came on after 6 hours of charging. I tried to use the app to activate but the app doesn't have the feature it says it does just goes to login screen so, I went to the website to signup and activate and that's where I'm at right now. I haven't activated yet was hoping to get a referral so, me and the referee can both get rewards?

Mine worked well, farm is 40 miles from my house and it sent pics instantly. Then after a month , I moved it probably 500 yards from it was initially and it wouldn't transmit, that's been my problem ever since. I'd bring it home and it works instantly. Take it back and it may or may not work. If it is working- I can not move it or it will stop sending pictures. So annoying.. Oh and it always says signal 90 or 100% spent 30 minutes on the online chat with customer service and all they can tell me is to re-format it. I'll do that and see if it helps.

I have this camera, pictures are average. Enough that let's me know what is in the area and when, HOWEVER, VERY disappointed in the "solar". I can put this out with a full charge and within a couple weeks I get a picture with a message that battery is low (under 20%) and does not charge.

Got one and been running half of the winter at my camp site for security , then suddenly stop sending pictures, been told because it wasn't updated!! I don't have access to my camp site during winter! and spypoint put on updates that make it stop working!! Then this spring it totally stop working and found water in battery pack! killed the camera. One positive point is that their service department replace the faulty unit in 2 days.

👍

I find that when it gets cold. Like 40 and below they won't send pictures or just not taking picture.

I had two SpyPoint micro ltes last year and they lasted one year. I took them back and got two Browning Defender Scout pro max cameras and they would not stay linked to the phone service and was very poor on sending the photos. The App didn’t work well with IPhone at all.

If you have a solar cam , they need GOOD sunlight otherwise the internal battery is used up quick and they do not recharge as good as they say they do . Where I use my cameras , I NEVER put them out unless I use a metal case and Python cable , otherwise it's pointless .

Looking for my first cell camera

Mine has been working for a year so far. I pay $15 /month for a subscription to get unlimited photos. So it all of a sudden stops taking pics about every few weeks. I have to take it down and reset etc. and it’s good again for another few week. The chat service is absolutely crappy ! This has stumped the customer service. The trigger speed is super slow misses many pics ….

Just found your channel and I’m very upset. I bought 2 from academy and they worked about a week and then stopped sending photos. I contacted tech support and they said they were no good and sent me replacement’s. The replacement’s came yesterday and not even 24 hours later both are no good. Now I’m waiting on my second set of replacement’s. So far with these 4 it’s the same problem, “ not transmitting”. If these next 2 do the same, I’m through and will look into the Browning’s that you’re speaking of!!!

The SPYPOINT wants you to pay extra for the HD pics above and beyond the cellular plan fee

I watched to the very end I'm looking for a camera that is good for security.

My Spypoint Solar failed after one season and customer supported by phone sucks!

They leak and don’t last. Both of mine died in less than 1 year. It does rain outdoors. Just to let spypoint know

Isnt the strength of this that you dont need a cell contract though?

Mine filled with condensation and stopped working. SPYPOINT was no help.

They are complete junk. All of mine started leaking after a month and shorting out. They asked me if the camera was outside. WTF Definately don't recommend these at all.

Bushnell

This thing disintegrated on me !!!
