SPYPOINTCell-Link Universal Cellular Trail Cameras Adapter | Makes Virtually Any Trail Camera a Cellular Game Camera | Trail Camera sends Picture to Cell Phone thru Cell Trail Camera SD Card Slot

Great to transition to the wirelessly linked cameras.Using with older browning cameras.Set-up can be tricky and one needs to follow instructions quite closely.I had a few issues with requesting HD images, support was responsive, but laborious. I carefully used a mini-sd card that was within the outlines spec, and yet they kept telling me to use theirs. IFinally resolved the issue using a larger external antenna.Great way to update features of an older camera especially If you already live in their ecosystem.It also an inexpensive way to join the wireless world. Although the unit small, having an additional boxOn a tree can reduce overall stealthiness.Their app is easy to use, I only wish i would get pictures in real-time (which may or may not be due to signal at the location).

I waited to write this review for 3 months to fully test these units. Pros- Cost, battery life and signal acquisition. First the unit sets off the camera at transmission time which is to say if you are setting the unit to send pics every 4 hours you will get as many as 12 blank photos at every transmission which adds up to more than a 1,000 pics a month so purchase the unlimited plan regardless . The unit does NOT transmit every photo I pulled the unit cards after two months so I could transfer the full image to my computer not just the thumbnail pic. I found more than 30% of the photos taken were not sent via the app. If you're planning your hunts based on photos received DON'T Finally the app does not function properly the most distressing part is the thumbnail pic received is NOT always the picture. I was deleting pictures based on the thumbnail view and by accident enlarged the photo instead of deleting it and a completely different picture appeared. I started enlarging every photo and it seems the app sends the last photo taken which is usually blank because the transmission sets off the camera. I found when multiple pictures are taken more than half of the thumbnail pics were incorrect. The pictures were completely different from the thumbnail. I purchased 10 units and I found the same issues with all of them. If these issues get worked out I'm sure these units will revolutionize the industry with all the non-cellular cameras out there, BUT we are not there yet.

I bought the Spypoint cell-link because I like the free 100 photos per month from Spypoint. I connected this to a non cellular trail CAM that ha no flash 940nm IR LEDs so I don't spook deer. Alkaline battery life is not good so I'm in the process of trying the Spypoint LIT-10 with additional Amp Hours. If this doesn't get the longevity I'm looking for then I'll connect a 12V battery via the external 12V port. The transmitted picture quality is not that great. This is because the cell-link compresses the virgin photo image from the camera so it can be saved on the remote Spypoint server at a minimized memory storage footprint. However, the original photo from the camera is stored on the micro SD card that is inserted into the cell-link. So again, I found the cell-link to consume batteries rather quickly and can't complain about the captured images in the Spypoint server because they need to preserve memory storage cost. After all, 100 images per month ain't a bad deal. I have 3 cell-links attached to no flash cameras and I've had no problems.

So far, I haven't found a camera that these haven't worked on and I use 2010 Bushnells, Bushnel Essential, Bushnel Trophy Cams, Moultrie A-20i, M-50i, Stealth Cam G42NG, and Brownings.I've so far been very pleased with battery life. I have two set to immediately send pictures as they're taken for security that have ran 2 months so far a AA lithiums without change.Signal does get a bit goofy at times where I have 90% cell service one moment the zero the next. I think that has to do more with cell tower operations, but hard to tell.I can see the little cable needing to be replaced periodically, so I contacted Spy Point and they said they are on it.I've read that some manufacturers will say that using one of these will void their 1 year warranty..... pffffffft... Let's be honest here, 1 year warranties are about as useful as soaking wet toylet paper. The seal looks good. Mine have the added weather protection of security boxes, and if I felt that concerned I would just put a price of Gorilla Tape around the cord. You can used Gorilla Tape to make water tight cups. Also you can buy cheap trail cameras if you want. Those Tasco's work pretty well.Set up was a breeze. The app is super easy. The prices are very affordable i feel, and I could always change the number of pics sent on the camera if it was and issue.Would I buy more? I sure would. I got 7 of them now.
