SPYPOINT question

[Bonefreak]

SPYPOINT pretty much sucks…& I have gone to Reveal….but I am still running SPYPOINT til end of monthly subscription. 
 

I want to make sure the camera is working cuz it’s been slow at a scrape….so I been setting it to take a pic at the next time sync….& it doesn’t. I can’t believe this company is still in business since Reveal came out!!

If Spypoints are up to current format they work great. I’m running over 20 trouble free  , having issue just with 1 that’s eating batteries 

 

joining the insider club you get 250 free pics a month  per camera , or go to the next level at a cheaper rate .

‘if using cameras on pinch points you can run the spypoints for just the price of the camera .

 

reveals pics were way better resolution than they are now . IMO picture quality over 15 yards sucks .

‘if you try and zoom in they lose detail fast , and you have to purchase a picture plan to use them .

and reveal cams miss way more of what’s going on than any other camera I have used .

You have to hit save after what you sent . It should respond after 9 am if you did that .

U do have on each detection so is it possible there's nothing activating it.  It won't communicate until it's triggered

That is what I thought it supposed to do whether it’s activated by a movement or not

I was a big fan of spypoint. Used them for over 5 seasons. Never a issue. 

This year I buy 4 more new ones. Activate 2. Other 2 still in box. 

Long format sd cards. Both cameras have newest software version. Brand new batteries. 

In my backyard works great. 

Put in woods, turn it on, it finds a signal and I force a pic. Everything is fine, so I think. That's the last time the camera  had communication. Stars doesn't change. Pull camera. Replace with the other new camera ( same new l9ng format sd, batteries, works in backyard ) 

Put in same exact spot as first camera. Same issue. No communication. 

I check the sd card from first camera I pulled. Has 12673 pics. 

As soon as I turned camera on in woods it just started taking pics every second till battery ran out 3 days later. 

Texted spypoint. They reset camera from their side. Check software. Everything good. Set up camera in backyard. They see it works. 

Then they say Put camera in a different spot in woods. I said what's the deal with a wireless camera that can't take pics in the woods. I got the run around. 

The spot the camera is in has very heavy vine like canopy. 

My next step is to ask the deer to move the trail 20yrds so I can get better reception. 

So I just bought 4 moultrie edge  cameras. Cheap! Good plans. Much less than spypoint  and tatacam.
