One bit of advice, don’t face the camera directly south into the sun without some good cover. The night-time pictures are a big deal to me, as some cameras just can’t seem to get a decent image after dark. It takes really good pictures during the day and good ones at night too. It takes a lot to impress me with a trail camera these days, too. How Good is the SpyPoint Link Micro Camera? Getting a message that he’s in front of the stand can get your juices flowing. Another year or two and this guy will be hard to pass up. And if you run out of room, the camera still functions and saves images to the Micro SD card. Yo can get 250 for as little as $4 and unlimited for as much as $15 a month. You get 100 images a month from SpyPoint and you can subscribe for more. One other part of the setup is the number of images it transmits. It is a great way to learn in real time, how the deer are acting. I wanted to be a glutton for punishment and have pictures sent to me so I could see all I was missing when I wasn’t hunting. I set the camera to send pictures when the camera is triggered, but you can have it set to dump images on your phone when you want. The antenna is strong, so even moderate signal strength works. Obviously, you need to have cellular service where you place the camera. I kept having issues until I went back and realized I used the wrong size Micro-SD card. For this camera, you need to do some setup on your computer and then add the app to your phone. I won’t bore you with details, when you can follow the simple 90-second video off the SpyPoint website, but if you don’t do it right, it won’t work. How do you set up a cellular trail camera?Įach manufacturer is different, but I can say that with the SpyPoint camera, following the proper setup is vital in getting it to work right. There’s bound to be deals on the Link Micro and I can honestly say – you should buy some. If you’re like me, you look for deals on gear after the season ends, so you can stock up for next year. I’ve written about the SpyPoint Link Micro cellular trail camera before, but now that my season is winding down, I thought I’d write about it in more detail. Each year, I get new models and like many other writers, I write reviews on them before the season arrives so you can get one for yourself. I have used, abused and thoroughly tested many trail cameras in my day.
