If you’re setting up on trails or rut funnels, the pics will likely be blurry. Like most wireless cams, the Spypoint Link-Micro-S had a fairly lethargic (0.4-second) trigger, making it best for setups that make deer pauses, such as licks, bait piles, and mock scrapes. That is typical for low, or no-glow cams. Since this is a low-glow (red) IR flash, pic quality wasn’t great at longer distances. Flash and Detection RangeĪt 80 feet, according to my tests, the daytime detection was very good, and similar distances with nighttime runs. Since I live in an area with spotty reception this took a couple of tries (if the cam doesn’t find a solid signal, you shut it down and start again), but it wasn’t a big deal. When you turn the camera on the unit immediately starts searching for a wireless signal. Simply charge the battery pack-which charges with a USB charger-for about 10 hours, slap the pack into the camera, and you’re up and running. The Spypoint link-micro is one of the easiest trail cams to set up I’ve ever used.
I also tested detection/flash range by walking past the camera at pre-measured distances.
Then I brought the camera home, mounted it to a tree in my yard and ran some standard tests for photograph and video quality at day and night. When pics were delivered to my app, I noted the time lapse between the photo event and when the image appeared on my phone.Īfter the camera was up and running, I left it on an active food plot for 24 hours and evaluated photo quality of the pics it took of deer and other wildlife. When pics were delivered to my app, I noted the time lapse between the photo event and when the image appeared on my phone. Then I evaluated the unit for adequate instructions and simplicity of setup, a significant issue for cell-cam rookies and experienced users alike. I charged the battery pack supplied with the unit, then followed manufacturer instructions for setting up the camera. The Spypoint Link-Micro-S is a relatively easy camera to set up and run, and the small physical size makes it perfect for areas where deer act hinky around cameras, or there are only small trees (or fence posts) for setting up. And the solar-assist charging panel will only help in money savings and efficiency. Perhaps the biggest standout feature on this camera was the rechargeable battery pack which, if it proves effective and durable, would save users a ton of money on expensive lithium batteries.
Finally, Spypoint’s data/picture management plan is very affordable and offers additional benefits that makes it as attractive as any of the competition. But the Spypoint Link-Micro-S also breaks some new ground, with a rechargeable battery pack that should result in big savings on battery purchases, and the solar panel is designed to assist the battery pack in powering the camera. With one of the lowest price points of any cellular camera on the market, it would be tempting to classify this as an entry-level cam, and it certainly fits that niche nicely.
