Worked great until the last firmware update
I have had 3 of these cameras for over a year and they have done very well, take good pictures and last forever when equipped with the solar panel option. The last firmware update happened and my cameras just send mostly black pictures now, I never received a black picture from any of them until the firmware update was pushed. I have reached out for support and was told that it was poor signal or low battery and this is not the case. Now I basically just have 3 cameras that are no good. Spypoint, please fix this issue with another update or something!! Looked at purchasing a flex s dark, but not until these issues are resolved.

Buyer beware
I bought 4 of these 2 double packs from Walmart, worked great for about a year then they required an update and now rarely work and most the time blacked out pictures. Can't get a warranty to return them because why would I really keep original receipt especially since I purchased the extra data plans when I got them. Was told I can upload files to a computer and upload them I don't own a computer and would cost more to resolve the update. They should have made the update with the fix not the damage. They should know the by serial numbers and my added data plan when I purchased. Will not recommend to someone if they're giving them away

The flex m for the win, IT DELIVERS!!!
I have had this camera over a month now and this compact camera has delivered spot on. 28mp pictures and 720p videos with sound (HD videos available). It's compact to fit in almost any situation. dual sim technology gives you the best signal in your area. Battery life is awesome and performance was above expectations. You will not be sorry purchasing this camera for the price. With spy point you get a 100 free photos every month. Setup is a breeze with the app and you can even test it out in the field with the test button. Don't let the compact size fool you this camera is loaded with features like the traditional Flex series.

Worked good for one season
I bought this twin pack in October of 2024. They worked good that fall when I finally got them connected to my Spypoint account. Last fall (2025) I had both set up for months getting the occasional picture and assumed there weren't many deer around. When I started sitting in my stand for archery season I would walk in front of my camera and watched several deer walk in front of it as well. No pictures were taken. I was very disappointed especially since the deer I ended up harvesting should have been on camera and would have made a neat picture to pair with the mount. I got one good season out of these.

Quality photos in all weather conditions!
The FLEX-M from SPYPOINT is a hunter's best friend. This camera takes quality ohotos with excellent trigger speed so that you never miss a shot. Then it sends the photos or videos directly to your cell phone so you know what's happening in real time. No more capturing the hind leg of a passing animal because the camera couldn't catch it in time - this thin will get the best shots in all lighting and weather conditions, even heavy morning fog when the coyotes think they're being sneaky! Check out some of the photos included with this review and then Smash that buy now button! You won't be sorry! As a matter of fact, the FLEX-M is priced so well, you may want to grab a couple!

Amazing, affordable, quality cam!
Man SpyPoint really just keeps knocking it out of the park! I added the Flex-M to my arsenal recently and it is jam packed with all of the standard features you really need. I love the ability to essentially pull this camera out of the box, power it on and set it up where I want and begin receiving photos/videos in a matter of minutes. I get excited each time I get a new notification about a video preview or photo and I love that I can request HD videos or photos of any image I desire. The GPS feature is also nice in case I forget to mark where I placed it in my hunting app. All in all you can’t beat this camera at the price point!

Connectivity/ Durability
I bought 4 of the Flex M in August and in less than 3 months I’m down to 1. The cameras are constantly searching for signal and rarely connect. The firmware is updated and competitors cameras have full signal in the exact areas. Customer support is a joke and not helpful not to mention the long wait times. When it comes to durability the antenna design is poor and weak. My assumption is the wiring inside the camera wasn’t attached properly causing the no signal issues. Spypoint has sacrificed quality and they aren’t the same company as they were 5 years ago. Spend a little more and buy any of there competitors and you will be much happier.

Worst Game cam company
I've had multiple Spypoint cameras and each ones demise started with not connecting and transmitting photos. Each time I was given the round about from the "Advisors'. Now I'm being told that my camera was activated in 2023 when the camera didn't even launch till 2024?? I'm extremely disappointed that I wasn't helped and offered a replacement. Was always told it's the firmware... It's unfortunate because some of us like myself saves every penny just to purchase the camera and photo plan. My family depends on the meat and having the cameras help tremendously. Disappointed I wasnt helped and treated like a customer that the future of the company depends on.. Because I am. We ALL are..

Hello. If I don't pay for the premium version, can I still check the photos manually once I use up my 100 free photos that are sent to my phone?
Hello there, yes, you can still use your camera after you’ve used your 100 free photo transmissions each month. The 100-photo limit applies only to the photos sent to your phone through the data plan. Once you hit that limit, the camera will continue taking pictures and storing them on the SD card, those extra photos simply won’t be transmitted until you upgrade the plan.

I only want to capture photos at night, how can I adjust the settings to make that happen?
Hello Dan, to capture photos only at night, you can adjust your camera’s settings in the SPYPOINT app. Simply open the app, go to your camera settings, and under the Schedule or Time Settings section, set the active period to nighttime hours. This way, the camera will only trigger and take photos during that time frame.

Are the plans available per camera? If so...can you just buy for one camera if you purchase the dual pack? (Purchasing as a gift)
Hello Laura, yes, each subscription plan is for one camera only. If you buy a dual pack, you can choose to activate a plan on just one of the cameras and leave the second camera without a plan. This is helpful if you’re giving one as a gift and don’t want to pay for both plans right away.

Is the plan price per camera? Or do you need to pay additional cost for each camera?
Hello there, each SPYPOINT camera requires its own data plan, so the subscription cost is per camera. This means if you’re using multiple cameras, you’ll need a plan for each one. Every new camera already comes with the free photo transmission plan included, so you can get started right away before deciding if you’d like to upgrade to a higher plan.

Is there a format option on the camera for a SIM card or must it be done externally?
Hello Jackbeth, the SIM card doesn’t require formatting on the camera itself. It comes ready to use and is automatically recognized once inserted. The only component that may need formatting is the SD card, which you can easily do through externally on a computer if needed.

HI I just got my twin flex-m today. i am wondering whats bright green light came on for short time, above the camera len... what is it? thank you.
Hello Doughboy81, thank you for your question. The bright green light you saw above the camera lens on your FLEX-M is part of the camera's normal startup and connection process. A short green flash for about 10 seconds occurs when the camera successfully finds a network connection, and the light will blink during the initial connection process.

Will the flex-M show up on the map automatically so that if you forget where you placed it or if someone moves it, you will be able to find it?
Hello JBuss, thank you for your question. Yes, the Flex M has a GPS feature that shows the camera’s location. The camera needs to be turned on for updates, which occur automatically once a day, helping you keep track of its placement.

If I delete photos from the camera that are not good photos does that till count against my 100 photos? It seems like it could start to cost alot if I go over the 100 limit
Hello Dman, thank you for your question. The photo count only applies to pictures that have been transmitted to your app. If a picture is deleted before the transmission process, it will not be deducted from your photo count.

I have Flex-M solar bundle, camera can be secured with a cable lock. Solar panel can be easily be stolen, there is no way to attach a cable. Is there some sort of metal strap lock that will fit through the strap guide that is only a few millimeters wide?
Hello Danutm, thank you for sharing your concern. At the moment, we do not offer a metal strap lock for our solar panel. However, we have forwarded your suggestion to our team for future consideration.
