Title: Cell Cam Review.
Post by: hunter399 on January 10, 2023, 08:42:31 AM: I thought this guy does a darn good review of these cams.
I've only used moultrie ,and I thought is was junk.
After seeing this review I'm not shocked about moultrie.

Post by: zwickeyman on January 10, 2023, 01:52:30 PM: I have 2 Spypoint Flex and 2 Spypoint Micro

They have worked great and no issues at all and I cant believe how far they pick stuff up. The customer service is terrible though, spent hours on hold but once I did talk to someone they were very helpful

Super weird…..maybe I got lucky. Once I had to reset it but otherwise it’s been flawless. I have friends in Canada that love them. I use att….wonder if that makes a difference.

Anyone else using the Costco setup?

I bought a couple and couldn’t event get them through the set up phase on my mobile devise. After 3 phone calls to customer service (3 hours of hold), I took them back to Costco and bought a garmin inreach and a bottle of Woodford. Hope you have better luck

Post by: Bowhunter199 on January 27, 2023, 11:02:11 AM: I have had a total of 10 Spypoint cameras on my property in John Day OR. Out of those 10 cameras only 1 of them still works. 7 of them quit working in the 1st year. The last Spypoint camera I bought lasted 2 weeks.

I went to Tactacam over a year ago and all 6 of them are still working like new. You can also set the Tactacam to send a check in picture everyday while still in detection mode. Being 6 to 7 hours away from my hunting property it’s nice to get the daily pictures letting me know the camera is working like it should even if nothing walked in front of it.

Post by: kentrek on January 27, 2023, 12:51:34 PM: Nearly all my spy points are dead...use both spartan and tacticam and prefer the spartan...expensive upfront but worth it in the long run...esp when considering running cameras in multiple states

Post by: turkeyfeather on January 27, 2023, 01:41:40 PM: We've 10 Spypoint cams for a couple years. They work pretty good. Have had a couple issues with them but Spypoint has always replaced them with no problems.
