CELL-LINK - SpyPoint: Does the CELL LINK Really Work?

[@mcparlandoutdoors1196]

Thanks for the video. You answered the questions that I had. I am going to try one out this year.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Glad it was helpful! I was very pleased with its performance

[@benselby6171]

Did it work with the Walmart tasco camera?

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Yes. It worked perfectly.

I noticed there are 2 sim cards stacked on each other behind the battery tray in the MICRO. One has spypoint logo and the other is AT&T. Is there a way to cut spypoint out as a middleman and just insert a sim card from a cell phone and just call into it with the number associated to the sim card we use?

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

No you cannot bypass SPYPOINT.

[@bertmusic9582]

Man this looks sweet but cant find any reviews on the spotty cell service areas like northern lower Michigan. Great channel btw 👍

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thank you! I think if you used it anywhere with spotty service, you probably have a bad experience with it.

[@bertmusic9582]

@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors Does it specify what type of service/ frequency it uses?

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

I did not see where it mentioned that.

[@josephbonadio1903]

both AT&T and Verizon has a map on their webpages showing service areas

[@outdooraddictionwv5299]

If you can get cell service in your spot then it'll work. They have both Verizon and at&t versions

Where were your deer hunting videos located at? Public or private? Stationed in Florida but thinking of coming back for the 2021 Rifle season with my dad. Thanks! Great Videos!

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

It’s a split between private and public but I cant use a gun on the private land, bow only. Thank you for the support! I appreciate it. Good luck if you make it up.

Say I want the Cell Link on for only 4 months out of the year, can you turn on and off when you want to receive pictures through the app? So that way you are not getting billed for when your camera is not in use.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

You can, but I am getting ready to release an update video on these. In the backyard, they work great. When I set them up an hour away, I have had nothing but problems and spy points. Customer service has been horrible.

[@josephbonadio1903]

The delay in getting pictures has nothing to do with the cell link, or cell cameras, it has to with the cell tower....they lower the power transmission at night for whatever the reason is, also the cell link or cell camera will always get a better signal then a cell phone due to the fact of the exposed/extended antenna . pictures sent thru the cell link are only as good or bad as the camera it's set up with, also the cell link is sensitive to firmware updates so make sure it has the latest updates, if by chance it's out in the field call Spypoint they can do it over the air for you. The cell link is a great concept, it's far from perfect but it works, and as it was mentioned in the video make sure that SD Card doesn't pull out of the SD card slot

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

That's good to know. Thanks for adding this comment as I think it further validates it as a great option. 👊🏼 So far, I haven't had any issues.

[@outdooraddictionwv5299]

I don't think they can push over the air updates for the cell link. That's what they told me anyways. They always pushed it for the micro link for me though.

[@josephbonadio1903]

@@outdooraddictionwv5299 they can and they have for two of my friends.....the Spypoint cell cameras are entry level type, but they have entry level customer service, very poor...maybe it has to do with them being outside the USA

[@Riley095]

It works with the wild game innovations

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

It did!

[@Riley095]

@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors I would say though that it works best with the spypoint cameras due to them having a little thing on the bottom you can slide the cable through to avoid pinching it but do whatever at your own risk I suppose

[@chasbrady2544]

Whoa that’s bigger than the picture made me believe

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

I wouldn’t buy these. They suck. They worked great in the backyard, but when I deployed them, I had nothing but problems.

[@chasbrady2544]

@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors thanks, I’ve been considering using them with WiFi cams, they’ve been on sale lately

[@j.r.outdoors247]

How does the "cell service" contract work? How much does it cost? Is that cost per camera?

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

They offer a few plans. $15 for unlimited, $10 for 1000 photos, $5 for 250, and free for a 100 photos.

[@j.r.outdoors247]

@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors Is that $15 per month, or per year?

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Per month. 😯

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Also, if you choose to get billed annually vs. monthly, the unlimited it drops to 10 bucks a month or $120 for the year.

[@franklinwall2981]

Don't waste your money it'll give you 150 pictures for free and won't let you set up how long between each picture in my case a doe & fawn in one day a matter of a few hours this is a piece of junk I spent $68 and can't give it away nobody wants it

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

I had issues as well when I deployed them out in the field. I returned them and got a credit for a Mirco Lte camera, which works great for me. The picture quality sucks, but I know not to purchase Spy Point cameras anymore.

[@melvinmarquess3950]

That's a camera setting, not a cell link issue.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

👍🏼
