STRIKING PHOTO QUALITY

The LM2 is a 20MP camera, so every image is clear and useful for your scouting. The photo quality is easily seen in the app in both the compressed thumbnail, and HD photos. Don’t miss a detail in any photo with the LM2.

RELIABLE CONNECTIVTY

The LM2 antenna maximizes available signal and helps maintain continuity of service and reliable photo transmissions. With your photos received safely in the SPYPOINT app, you can plan for your hunt like never before.

POWERFUL MONITORING

With flash and detection range of 90 feet, the LM2 monitors a big area. What does this mean for you? Fewer deer are able to avoid the ever-watchful PIR sensor of the LM2. More area monitored means less area that big buck can sneak through without being seen.

COMMITMENT TO VALUE

The LM2 is evolution of the LINK-MICRO revolution. For all the new and improved functionality, the most important hallmark the LM2 brings from its LINK-MICRO roots is the steadfast dedication to delivering value to the hunter.

CELLULAR TRAIL CAMERA - Receive photos right on your phone, tablet or computer via the SPYPOINT app thanks to cellular trail camera technology. Without needing to go into the woods to pull an SD card to see what has been happening in the woods, you can keep an eye on your property, scout for the coming hunting season, or just enjoy watching wildlife from your home, office, or virtually anywhere else you can use your phone.
20MP PHOTOS - The LM2 takes 20MP photos so you can see the details of every photo that may mean the difference between success and failure in the field. Photos are sent to the SPYPOINT app so you can view them on your phone or tablet, or even on the SPYPOINT web app to be viewed on your computer.
OPTIMIZED ANTENNA - Maximizing the available cellular signal in the area is critical to long-term performance of a cellular trail camera. The optimized design of the the LM2 antenna means the available signal in the area is maximized for the most reliable transmission and performance possible.
COMPACT DESIGN - The LM2 is compact, which means suspicious eyes from two or four-legged creatures have to work even harder to find it. Load your backpack up and set out to make the rounds on your hunting property and get your cameras set. You can carry more than enough cameras to get the property covered so you know exactly what's going on.
EASY TO USE - The LM2 settings are all managed in the SPYPOINT app, so the user interface is incredibly simple. The on/off switch and a single LED lets you get the camera up and going, communicates the quality of cellular signal in the area, and all the rest is done with settings in the app that are straightforward and intuitive.

Title: Good camera
Review: Good camera for the money. Picture quality leaves something to be desired. The 100 free pictures a month makes up for that. Until you want to upgrade to more photos. I also get decent signal reception from this camera when my covert camera gets nothing in the even with an upgraded antenna.

Title: Budget Cellular Camera for Public Land
Review: TLDR: Good budget cell cam for public land scouting.Utilized 3 of the LM2 cameras to aid in public land scouting. $70 for camera, spent another $30 for SD card, batteries and a 4 digit combo wire lock for $100 total/camera. Picked spypoint due to equipment cost and subscription program provided a free plan with lower cost upgrades only planning to operate a few months. I had cameras out in low animal density areas so was between 50-250 pictures/month. My strategy was to only download the HD version of photos (pictured in review) when I detected something worth looking at more closely. Low resolution pictures delivered daily are good enough for screening. I picked up the $5 for 50 HD photo downloads as well. I did upgrade from free (100 photo/month) to a paid plan (250 photos/month) for cell uploads on 1 camera. You can easily change subscription per device on a monthly basis to optimize.I did not have any issues getting cameras operating and updated, do this at home with good service. If you are in areas with poor cell service you will have a hard time getting uploads, or adjusting camera settings (have to do with camera when camera is in good service....) If you have 2 bars on same cell provider you should be good. If you are getting a ton of false triggers adjust the detection sensitivity down and interval between photos, or change camera placement to a sturdier location. On windy days 20-40 mph winds I would get a bunch of false triggers.Battery life: I think camera upload frequency + cell service impacts battery life the most. I placed one camera in a ravine with no service with settings still set on 6x daily uploads and it died in 20 days. Other 2 cameras got 300 pics over 2 months with 2x daily uploads and were only at 60-70% battery. Used energizer max AAs.Overall happy with the quality of these cameras for the price.

Title: Spy point cellular trail camera
Review: This camera was supposed to be brand new and when I received it, it had spider webs in it. Behind the battery compartment is supposed to be a QR code so you can set the camera up. It was not there. There’s a slot where a SIM card is supposed to come with the camera it was also missing. The battery compartment has rust and corrosion on it. I’m pretty upset about this order. To expensive of a camera to not come right especially when it’s supposed to be brand new.

Title: Hardly connects
Review: It works sometimes. Doesnt matter location my house or in the field. They just don't get signal. Rough thing to figure out after half of a a long hike.

Title: Pictures blurry, slow reset
Review: I bought the LM 2 camera with the SPYPOINT rechargeable lithium battery and SPYPOINT 32 GB MICRO SD card. I do not have a computer to “format the SD card” which was the first step in set up. I called SPYPOINT customer service for help. Within 5 minutes I was talking with a lady who helped me get the camera set up and sending pictures. I give their customer support an A for that experience.I set the camera up in my house and it began sending pictures to my phone. I periodically walked in front of the camera or stood in front of it. The pictures taken were blurry, sometimes ghostly. The camera did not ‘reset’ so that many times when someone walked or stood in front of it no picture was taken.
