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.

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.

Harry is disappointed from
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

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
Does this camera also have WiFi connectivity?
Hi Cara, Our cameras operate on cellular networks rather than Wi-Fi, allowing for greater flexibility when it comes to installation in remote or off-grid locations such as forests, construction sites, or large properties where Wi-Fi coverage is not available.

What else do i have to buy so i can mount to a tree? Or does it come with a mount?
Hello, our cameras come with a strap that allows you to mount the camera to a tree or other fixed surface in your preferred location.
However, if you’re looking for more flexibility or a different mounting angle, we also offer the MA-500 adjustable mounting arm. You can find more information about it using this link :

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.
Date published: 2025-12-06
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.

Sounds like if I order these microsd cards for them as well? Can I add to order and what is cost? Also I assume these run on batteries similar to the 3 I own now?
Hello Pat, thank you for your interest in our product. Indeed, on our website, we offer a compatible microSD card that works with the Flex M. You can find more information about it and the price using this link: https://www.spypoint.com/us/en/products/accessories/memory/micro-sd-32gb/05889.html
Regarding your question about the battery type, the FLEX M can use standard AA batteries or our Lit-22 rechargeable battery.

Does the Flex-M come with a reboot/restart option? Example rebooting/restarting camera everyday at midnight. If camera stops working it will reboot at midnight and fix problem. The camera will be located 200 miles away and only checking once a month.
Hello, thank you for your question. At the moment, we do not offer an option to remotely reboot or restart the camera automatically. However, if you would like to control when the camera is active, the Flex-M does include a scheduling feature that allows you to set specific hours for the camera to operate.
If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to let us know.

I have 2 Flex M cameras and would like to convert them to solar power but not exactly which solar panel and battery I need. Thank You
Hello, thank you for reaching out regarding the Flex M camera. Both of our solar panels, the SPLB 10 and the SPLB 22, are compatible with the Flex M. The main difference between them is their capacity; the SPLB 22 has a higher capacity for a longer power supply. You can find more information about them using this link https://www.spypoint.com/us/en/accessories

Can this camera be hooked up to a solar panel and rechargeable batteries
Hello, and thank you for your question!
Indeed, the FLEX M can be powered using multiple sources. You can connect a solar panel via the 12V port and simultaneously insert rechargeable LIT-22 batteries for continuous power. This combination ensures that your camera stays powered, even in remote locations, with minimal maintenance.

how far from the feeder should the camera be mounted?
Hello, thank you for your question. The detection range of the camera is up to 90 feet, so we recommend installing the camera around 30 to 50 feet away from the feeder for optimal photo and detection performance. Make sure the camera is facing the feeder directly and mounted at about chest height for the best results.

I need to monitor the water level of a pond. Is it possible to set up a system to take a photo once a day, for example?
Hello, our cameras operate based on motion detection, meaning they capture images whenever movement triggers them. However, for your specific situation, you can adjust the transmission settings to send pictures anywhere from 1 to 12 times a day. Additionally, by enabling the 'Photo at Each Sync' option, the camera will take a picture at every scheduled sync, even without movement, allowing you to receive an image as frequently as every two hours

I would like to know if i can use this camera to take 1 or 2 pictures per day to catch insects on a glue slide ? Is the quality enough to identify some insects species ? And if it works wich distance do you advice between the camera and the glue slide
Hello Remithos The SPYPOINT FLEX M can be set to take 1 or 2 photos per day using time-lapse mode, making it suitable for capturing images of insects on a glue slide. However, identifying insect species may be challenging, as the camera is not designed for macro photography but for broader wildlife monitoring.

Quel est la distance idéal pour installer la caméra pour avoir un bon cadre? À quel distance d'un bloc de sel par exemple. Merci
Bonjour, merci pour votre question et votre intérêt pour nos produits. Pour obtenir un bon cadre autour d’un bloc de sel, nous vous recommandons de placer la caméra à environ 9-10 mètres du bloc, ce qui permet d’obtenir une bonne couverture sans trop perturber la détection. Idéalement, placez la caméra à une hauteur de 1 à 1,2 mètre du sol, à hauteur de ceinture pour les cerfs, afin de capter les animaux à la bonne hauteur. Assurez-vous également que la caméra est bien parallèle au sol, car cela optimisera la portée de détection et la couverture du flash infrarouge. Il est également important de vous assurer qu’il n’y a pas de branches ou d’herbes hautes dans le premier plan qui pourraient déclencher la caméra de manière inutile. Un fond dense, comme des arbres ou des buissons, peut également améliorer la qualité de vos photos de nuit en reflétant la lumière des LEDs de la caméra. Si vous avez besoin de plus d'informations ou d'assistance, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter. Nous sommes là pour vous aider.

If using the camera out of data service, are you also able to manually retrieve the photos from the device?
Hello, thank you for your question. Yes, if your camera is placed in an area with no signal coverage, or if you choose to deactivate the cellular option, you can still manually retrieve the captures. To do this, simply remove the SD card from the camera and insert it into a computer or compatible device. This allows you to access and transfer the photos stored on the card, even without cellular service.
