we had one quit on us in ky, wont do anything had the owner put new batteries in it even tho it still showed 100%, moved the cam for better signal nothing has helped might have to update it. it shows its making connection to app but not taking or sending pics. we know there are deer around it we were getting 100 pics a day then all of a sudden nothing.

Well.....probably will. I have mine placed off to the side & up so they won't see it. My Moutlrie X6000's have the same flash & just last night it appears a doe got spooked & ran back. Just the same, that's the 1st time that has happened after a ton of nite time pics. Years ago, when i had a # of Scoutguard cams, there was one nice buck that loved my low glows so it seemed,so go figure.

Update on about a year with mine. I’m getting some issues with the eating a battery or two out of the bank. Not sure why but of the 8 new energizer lithium’s I put in I will get a dead cam(low voltage) and when I test my batteries I get 6 good batteries and two dead ones. This has happened on 3 cams and not sure I’m going to tolerate much more nonsense from them. I have a friend that has two of these and he gets a year out of his but they aren’t over a feeder. Not sure what I have going on but it’s SPYPOINT and I’m not sure why I keep thinking they got stuff turned around

I have 2 sitting on my workbench. One with about a year's use, the other with a couple of months. Their customer service was terrible.

I'll make someone a deal if you wanna try to get them operational 😂

I’m not sure what I will try next. Covert came out with a neat system I might try? I like the base concept as it lets me put cams in places I don’t have signal but again, covert can be squirrelly as well

Here is an example
Batteries on the left, 2 stone ass dead ...
Batteries in the middle - lower voltage... 1.45 Volts
batteries on the right? Excellent ... 1.7 volt.
90 % of people would throw all these out. Almost every cam ends up this way. There is about 6 weeks in these batteries in a good signal location.. by the time I go through batteries and data plans I will have 300 or more in them per camera.. F-that

My Link DARK and Link EVO cams have the ability to run on only 4 of the 8 batteries. Are the Micro cams the same way? Could it be that the camera is only drawing power from one bank of batteries until they're dead?

No idea but as soon as I drop 2 it’s stone dead. You can watch it on the app and it gets to about 89% battery and boom gone... we need less Epstein batteries And more Bruce Willis batteries
