  • The Flex-S is the latest evolution in SpyPoint's cellular trail camera line-up, combining the benefits of both performance and solar power. It uses the latest in cellular trail camera technology to offer better 4G coverage than ever - perfect for wireless monitoring projects

    The key feature of the Flex-S is its integrated solar panel, charging an internal lithium battery, ensuring your camera functions for extended periods in the field.

    The Flex-S also allows video transmission on request, for the first time ever on a SpyPoint camera. New to Flex-S as well is SpyPoint's instant mode, which allows you to prompt the camera to take a picture or video on demand via the SpyPoint app, as well as update settings instantly. Instant mode will drain the batteries faster, but it is a great optional feature for this camera.

    Unlike previous models the SpyPoint Flex-S is able to use almost any cellular network to transmit your photos and videos straight to your smartphone or tablet. The camera will automatically select the network with the best connectivity, and if for any reason this signal drops, the camera will automatically scan the network and switch to the next network with the strongest signal. This is all automatically sorted by the camera so you can be confident you won't miss out on any activity!

    The SpyPoint Flex-S comes with a pre-activated ready-to-go SIM card, and all settings/configurations can be set via the free SpyPoint app. The plans are affordable, with a free plan allowing 100 photos a month.

    The camera can be configured to take images, record video and operate on time-lapse, and unlike its predecessor's the SpyPoint Flex-S can transmit photos and videos over 4G.

    Photos are now taken in superb 36MP resolution and videos are 1080p with sound. Trigger speeds are good for a cellular camera, at only 0.3 seconds.

    There are a few other great new features that make the Flex-S easy to setup and keep updated. When firmware is released for the camera you can now push this to be wirelessly updated on your camera using the SpyPoint app; meaning you can leave the camera in the field. There is also a handy Format button that will restore the microSD card to factory settings, speeding up setup and any troubleshooting. Finally there is a Test button that will trigger the camera to take and transmit a photo, enabling you to ensure you have the perfect placement during setup

    All photos and videos taken by the camera are automatically uploaded to the cloud, and accessible via the mySpyPoint app (iOS and Android), or myspypoint.com.

    You can also set the app to ping your phone when something is uploaded – so you can be updated in real time.

  • Video Quality:

    Max res: 1080p (10fps)     Max length: 15 secs
    Trigger speed: about 0.3 seconds     Recovery time: approx 60 seconds 

    Unlike previous cellular cameras, the Flex-S can transmit videos as well as photos. The camera is designed to get your captures to you as fast as possible - so the transmitted videos are compressed and smaller, with the full-size clips saved onto the SD card. 


     

    Photo Quality:

    Max res: 36MP    Max photos per trigger: 3 photos
    Trigger speed: about 0.3 seconds    Recovery time: approx 60 seconds

    Photo quality is good on the Flex-S. As with all wildlife cameras, its using interpolation to boost the image sizes - we recommend choosing the lower resolution option as the higher interpolation can make the images a bit more grainy. 

  • Speed and detection

    Trigger speed: approx. 0.3s (photos), 0.3s (videos)    Recovery speed: Approx. 60 seconds on instant transmission mode
    Detection range: approx. 100ft    LED type: Low-glow LEDs

    Trigger speed for the SpyPoint Flex-S is quick for a cellular camera, at only 0.3s. 4G network speeds mean very fast transmission to the mySpyPoint cloud. With good signal, photos are transmitted within 10-20 seconds of them being taken.

    Recovery speeds will depend on the ‘motion delay’ selected. The Flex-S can transmit as soon as an image/video is taken, or can delay the next detection for anywhere between 10 seconds and an hour. 

  • Build quality & batteries

    Warranty: 2 years (through NatureSpy)
    Batteries: Built-in rechargeable battery

    The FLEX-S has an integrated solar panel, charging an internal lithium battery, ensuring your camera functions for extended periods in the field.

    The build quality of the Flex-S is good, with a slightly different design from previous cellular models such as the Link Micro LTE. Most noticeably the camera opens at the bottom rather than at the front in order to enhance the water resistance and durability.

  • Ease of use

    Please note that it can take between 30 minutes and 48 hours for the SpyPoint Flex-S wireless cameras to fully activate.

    Photos taken by the camera are automatically uploaded to the cloud, and accessible via the SpyPoint Link app (iOS and Android), or myspypoint.com. You can also set the app to ping your phone when a new photo is uploaded – so you get real-time updates. It transmits thumbnail-size images and saves hi-res images onto a microSD card (required – we supply a 16GB microSD with this camera unless you chose the 32GB upgrade).

    There is a free monthly option that allows you to view 100 pictures every month (no videos included). If you require more than 100 photos per month you’ll need to choose a paid plan – which are very affordable – especially bearing in mind that there is nothing to pay to any network provider like there is with other wireless cameras. 

    Photo transmission plan options are (prices are in US Dollars );

    • Free plan = 100 photos/month
    • $5 per month (or $4/month if paid annually) = 250 photos/month
    • $10 per month (or $7/month if paid annually) = 1000 photos/month
    • $15 per month (or $10/month if paid annually) = unlimited photos/month

    Video transmission packs are purchasable as an add-on for $5 for 20 videos.
