This camera is not ment to stay in the woods for more than a week. Solar does not keep up with the internal battery and does not charge the auxiliary battery. If you are looking for something you can put out and leave this is not the camera for you.

I received this camera and after charging it, installing it in the woods I received a notification about a firmware update, I accepted it and received another notification telling me it was successful. I received 1 addtional photo after update and camera didn't take another picture. Had to go back to the woods, check the camera and no lights were showing and camera was on. I turned the camera off and on again, the camera started working but received 3 dark pictures. The test picture button on the camera worked and picture was clear. I as well contacted an advisor, and they had no solution for the dark pictures. They tried to do as another person commented on here and ask me to retrieve the camera and go through a series of steps to test the camera, like do an external firmware update and that defeats the purpose of doing the remote firmware update. I received no answer and no direction on why it is sending dark pictures during daylight hours. It isn't all the pictures just an occasional really dark picture.

This is the second replacement camera (flex s Dark). This camera at least works for two days and then stops working, my previous just stopped working. Then I get support saying put more batteries in and charge it up. Shut it off and restart it then it will work..... Yes for two days then nothing. After going through 24 or 32 energizer max batteries now, and basically not having a working camera for 2 1/2 months while paying for a subscription (I have spent enough to just go and buy another camera), I am done with this brand, going somewhere else next just not sure where. I do have a regular Flex Camera that is working just fine, just eats batteries, the reason I tried going with the "S". I would not recommend.

This is the best camera Spypoint has to offer. Picture and video quality is excellent. The no glow is a huge plus and being able to refresh the camera manually is convenient. No more having to wait hours for the HD request to process. Having sound is also great as I can hear the deer and pig eat/grunt/snort as well as other hunters that happen to pass by. I would rate it 5 stars, however I have found that the detection range on my camera is more like 75-80 feet, not the 100ft listed. I have a ground blind set at 110 feet away and a trail that comes down towards the ground blind at 90 feet. This camera does not detect anything coming down from that trail and will only detect something if it makes a left and heads another dozen or so feet towards the camera. Detection quality within the 75 feet is great as the camera has been able to detect things as small as a rabbit or armadillo that are more than 50 feet away. The cellular connection with this camera is also much better than the Link Micro LTE cameras which can be hit or miss for no explainable reason. I also wish that the HD video was longer than 15 seconds. On a couple of occasions, the video ends while an animal or person is still directly in front of the camera, and since there is a delay in the time of the video ending and the camera resetting to take another video, I miss some of the action. Since I hunt public land, that delay leaves out some crucial time when someone could be tampering with my equipment. Also, the app is still kind of wonky. Whether using the app on my phone, or the webapp, many times the video does not play correctly, or it just lags in the middle and it takes several attempts to actually get to watch the whole video. I would post some videos, but since I am being forced to utilize youtube instead of adding one directly from my account, I cannot.
