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..

Questions
I have Flex-M solar bundle. When both AA batteries (100%) and solar's lithium batteries (90%) are present, which one is used? What's the algorithm for switching from one to other if let's say solar can't provide enough power during the day or at night?
Hello Danutm, thank you for your inquiry. The camera will always prioritize the external power source. In your case, the solar panel will be used first. If the solar panel cannot provide enough power during the day or at night, the camera will then switch to the AA batteries or the Lit-22 battery as a backup power source.

Does my camera need cell service for it to send me pictures and if so what can I use to send me pictures where their is no cell service
Hello Isaac, thank you for your question. Indeed, our cellular cameras require cell service to send pictures to your SPYPOINT app. In areas without cell coverage, the camera will continue taking pictures and saving them locally on the micro SD card, but it will not be able to send them remotely.

Hi, Flex M cameras don't work in Europe? More specifically, in Portugal? Is it possible to swap the SIMs so they can work in Portugal? I have the LINK-MICRO-LTE model which works without any problems...

I'm looking at your flex m solar bundle. Since the solar panel has a battery also, does the camera need battery to?
Hello Jeremy, and thank you for your question.
The solar panel can operate the camera on its own without needing to install additional batteries inside. However, we always recommend adding a backup power source such as AA batteries or our LIT-22 battery for optimal performance and extended battery life.

You refer to the solar panel as a SPLB-10 “Compact Lithium Battery Solar Pack”. Does that mean it is a battery pack as well as a solar panel? It is so much larger than the solar panel on the other solar cameras such as my Link Micro S cameras.
Hello Tailor, Indeed, the SPLB-10 "Lithium Battery Solar Panel (5W)" is not just a solar panel. It’s a combined solar panel with a built-in lithium battery pack. The solar panel maintains the battery charge using sunlight, helping to ensure longer and more reliable operation in the field.

If I’m using the solar panel with the camera, do I need rechargeable AA battery’s or can I use my regular lithium AA battery’s?
Hi Hickory, Thank you for your question. If you are using our external solar panel, you can choose to use either our rechargeable lithium AA batteries or regular AA batteries, depending on your preference.
Both options work with the solar panel, but our rechargeable lithium batteries are recommended for better performance and longer life.
