With the Spypoint LINK-S Solar Cellular Trail Camera , your days of trekking into the field to pull memory cards and replace batteries are over. The LINK-S automatically sends the images it captures to your smartphone or tablet, and its built-in solar panel keeps the internal battery charged.
The LINK-S takes 12MP photos and 720p video with sound, and transmits them using a Spypoint data plan (monthly charges apply). You can also choose Spypoint's free plan, which transmits up to 100 photos per month at no charge. Either way, the camera comes with 30 days of free unlimited photos. A pre-activated SIM card is included for easy setup.
The camera's passive infrared motion detector has a range of 30.5 m, and its trigger speed is 0.7 seconds. The 42-LED, low-glow infrared flash has a 30.5 m range, yet won't spook game at night. Multi-shot mode offers three photos per detection, and the Photo-First feature takes a still image at the start of any video recording and sends it to your account. The time lapse mode affords big-picture, long-term observation. Your still images will have a time stamp with useful information including date, time, temperature, and moon phase. Video length can be set between 10 and 90 seconds.
Images and videos are saved on a user-supplied SD/SDHC memory card up to 32GB (only photos are transmitted via the data plan). Because the camera is designed to run on solar power, no user-supplied batteries are necessary, but you can use 8 AA batteries as an optional or backup power source. The camera comes with a tree mounting bracket and strap, and is equipped with a standard 1/4"-20 tripod mount.
