CAMERAs LEAK! BEWARE
I have two (2) Spypoint Link Micro S cameras and they both leaked. The first one leaked within the first two weeks. The second started leaking after 3 months. The SD cards from both cameras were ruined. Due to poor signal, the pictures did not transmit well to my phone so I was looking forward to seeing what I had missed. That's well over $300 worth of cameras and SD cards that I did not get to use more than 3 months. I did not keep the receipts so I'm sure calling in for warranty will do no good. From a quick Google search, this is not an isolated problem. I rarely write reviews no matter how upset I am but I hate to see this happen to someone else.

Very Impressed
I bought this a few days ago and just got around to setting it up. Charged battery for 24 hrs or until light went green. I got the correct 32 GB Micro SD class 10/U1 Card and downloaded the latest firmware off website on to SD card. Then followed the online process to install it to camera. Then I downloaded the app on my apple phone. Set up camera on the app (pretty straight forward). Came with 1 free month of unlimited pics + got $15 for referral. Once I was connected I set up camera and it sends pics to my phone in less then a minute from the time it was taken.
A far as field tested in the elements, I cant speak to that but will soon find out.
Overall, I can’t wait to get some pics of Bucks
Happy Hunting

1 out of 3
I received one of these as a gift. Setup was easy and it worked exactly as advertised. I was impressed so I bought 2 more just like it. Neither of those have ever worked correctly. I’ve tried different SD cards, firmware updates, every one of the hundreds of things they say could resolve a garbage trailcam on their troubleshooting section. Over $350 and hours upon hours of time wasted running circles. I then left a poor review on this website to warn others and within minutes it disappeared. That’s pathetic… The following day I received an email from SPYPOINT saying they want to help. I replied with my exact issues and never heard back.
If u think 1 out of 3 is ok, this is the trailcam for you. If you don’t like throwing away $150, don’t buy these.

Not Reliable! Bad Customer Service!
Bought 3 of these cameras 2 years ago. All 3 had issues, two were replaced. This fall I had placed one of these at a remote location, several miles back in the woods. Camera worked for about a month then stopped sending pictures. Dude to its remote location I was unable to retrieve it till recently. After multiple attempts to get ahold of customer service, they told me the camera was out of warranty 11/26. However, the agent admitted he could see the camera stopped working on 9/10. Said because I contacted them after 11/26 they would not honor the warranty. I will be switching to TACTACAM!

Spypoint Cameras General Review
I bought a Link-S-Dark in 2021 which at the time was their top model. Fast forward to 2023, in the middle of hunting season, it started not communicating, went in to change the batteries, nothing. Took it home to charge in internal batteries, there was some sort of short circuit internally that had smoke rolling out of it. I threw it outside and called customer service. Because the camera was 2 years plus 3 months old, they wouldn't do a thing. Best of all they didn't want it back so their QA department could investigate the cause to improve future models. Now its the middle of the rut and i'm cameraless! Try a different companies camera.

Awesome Trail Camera
I bought this camera on 9/15/2020. It is working great. I bought this camera to monitor my hog trap. I was wasting so much gas having to constantly check the trap, but with Spypoint camera I was able to watch from any where at real time. I was able to see the hogs photos from anywhere. Because I could see the door closed and pig inside, I got my first hog. The Spypoint camera is a great tool. Definitely recommend.

Unbelievably frustrating!
I bought the LINK-Micro-S-LTE on black friday after talking to a friend that uses several Spypoint cams to hunt. It was going to be a gift but no longer needed it for that. I decided to keep it... Mine still doesn't work! I have literally spent hours following the app, website, written instructions, watching Spypoint videos, talking to live Spypoint cust serv personel, downloaded, updated, charged, recharged, formatted, reformatted, etc. I have done everything I know to do and what i was told to do except shoot the d%$# thing! My only saving grace is, I had planned to give this as a Christmas present but found out another family member had already purchased them a game cam. Thank God! How embarrassing would it have been to have given this problem to a loved one for Christmas?!!
At what point does a company say, "maybe we have an issue with the product. Let us offer a replacement."?
I honestly thought I was too old to feel such frustration and anger. My recommendation; avoid this camera at all costs!

Garbage
If you are looking for camera to keep you busy, this is it. After multiple phone calls, updates I am left with "try this... and if it doesn't work we will replace". Which is exactly what the previous customer service agent told me. The camera did send quality pictures when it actually worked, randomly less than have the season...

Questions
Will the micro S LTE connect to the Verizon network?
Hello Brud brud, if the network in the area where you wish to use the camera is Verizon, you will need to choose the VZN model. Since the camera comes with a pre-activated SIM card, the network that the camera connects to might be different from your cellphone carrier. -KM

My LTE-S stop sending fotos. I was using USSprint but now is TMobil. What should I do.
Hello TAJAOMAR 2, changing the cellular carrier of your cellphone will not affect your camera since it has its own pre-activated SIM card, and the camera connects to the nearest cellular tower in the area where you use it. If your camera communicates but won't transmit the photos, we suggest doing a long FAT32 format of the memory card or using a new one, and verify that your camera has the latest firmware update via this link: https://www.spypoint.com/en/support/solar-cellular-trail-camera/product-link-micro-s.html#firmware. Do not hesitate to contact customer service for further assistance: https://www.spypoint.com/en/chat (8:30 am/9 pm EST). Thank you. -KM

Can you delete the photos off the sd card from the app or do I have to go there every week and delete what is on the sd card?
Hello J12345, deleting the photos via the app won't delete them on the MicroSD card. If the memory card is full, the new photos will overwrite the old ones so you don't have to do a long FAT32 format every time. -KM

Can the camera be used with just the SD card. Taking photos off the SD card or visiting it and swapping out the SD card with another like a old style trail camera. Some places of intended use will not have a cell signal for me.
Hello Enzo, if there is no cellular network in the area where you want to use the camera, the unit will still take and save the photos in the MicroSD card so you can view them via a computer. We suggest making sure to set the camera via the app before putting the unit into the field. -KM
