Outdoor enthusiast Melissa Bachman takes you through a high-level guide on SpyPoint's Trail Cameras and how to use them for scouting success.
Welcome, fellow outdoor enthusiasts! I’m Melissa Bachman, host of the Sportsman Channel’s Winchester Deadly Passion. Today, I’m excited to share with you my personal insights on how SpyPoint cellular trail cameras can take your scouting game to the next level. With their cutting-edge features and exceptional performance, SpyPoint cameras are the ultimate tool for capturing and analyzing wildlife activity. Join me as we explore the reasons why SpyPoint cameras are a game-changer in the hunting world and I’ll share some pro tips on how to optimize their performance. Let’s dive in!
When it comes to cellular trail cameras, reception is everything. SpyPoint understands this crucial aspect and offers some unmatched benefits that will make scouting less stressful. With the SpyPoint FLEX cameras, the dual SIM cards will pick up the strongest signal available, no matter where your camera is placed. Some areas have better service than others, so with other cameras you’re stuck trying to determine which one would be best to bring. SpyPoint’s cameras allow you to bring any FLEX camera, and the dual SIM feature does the hard work for you, connecting to the best signal automatically. This saves you time and makes getting prepared for your scouting a little more stress-free.
As hunters, we know that scouting needs vary throughout the year. What sets SpyPoint apart is the ability to adapt your plan to match your hunting schedule. No more committing to an annual subscription when you only need it during specific seasons. SpyPoint allows you to shut down your plan during the off-season and reactivate it month-by-month. This isn’t very common in trail cameras, so that is a huge bonus. It provides the ultimate flexibility for the modern hunter.
SpyPoint offers adjustable plans to accommodate different scouting needs. Whether you require fewer photos or want to capture every moment, SpyPoint has a plan that suits your preferences. For example, you could start off with the base-level 100 free photos per month, and if you find yourself needing more, you can at any time add an additional plan to allow for more. SpyPoint even offers an unlimited photo plan, so even in the busiest area, you’ll get every single image and never worry about running out of bandwidth. With SpyPoint, you can stay connected and informed with their affordable options, ensuring you never miss a crucial scouting opportunity.
Gone are the days of limited photo sharing through text messages. SpyPoint’s dedicated app revolutionizes how you and your hunting partners share and view photos. With app login access, both you and your team can conveniently see all the captures from your SpyPoint cameras in one centralized location. It’s teamwork made easy!
Sorting through hundreds of photos can be time-consuming. With images being sent directly to your phone, you can save time by checking your camera wherever you are and not have to physically check cards, which could potentially disturb your hunting area. Plus, with the ability to favorite and mark standout captures, you can save time and focus on analyzing the most significant moments. This allows you to streamline your scouting process and gain a competitive edge.
Staying up to date with camera firmware is essential for optimal performance. SpyPoint makes this task effortless by allowing you to update firmware remotely through the app. No more SD card swapping in the field. With just a few clicks, you can ensure your camera is always running the latest firmware for enhanced functionality.
Along with the remote updates, SpyPoint’s battery flexibility is another great hassle-free feature. The LM2 gives you the option to use a LIT-10 battery pack, so you don’t need to use as many AA batteries. This could also help reduce any unnecessary trips to your camera to exchange batteries. You also have the option to use batteries if you prefer that, making this a great adaptable option for any hunter.
Analyzing wildlife behavior requires clear and detailed photos. SpyPoint cameras deliver high-definition images, capturing every intricate detail. The LM2 camera captures 20 MP photos, which can be very helpful when it comes to scouting. While photos are initially sent to the app in a lower resolution for efficiency, the HD option allows you to request the high-resolution version of a specific photo. This can be useful in times when a buck is deep in the background of an image. High resolution images will allow you to zoom in and still get a vivid picture of what is going on. If you’re using a camera with lower-res images, this would not be possible. High-quality images allow you to enjoy enhanced visibility and the ability to dive deep into the details that matter most.
The speed at which your camera takes pictures makes a huge difference as well. The LM2 has a lightning-quick 0.5-second trigger speed, which is great especially for capturing images of bucks during the rut. While a buck is chasing a doe and running fast, the LM2 captures those quick images, giving you a perfectly framed view compared to a blank or blurry image from slower cameras.
As hunters, we cherish the memorable moments that unfold in the field. SpyPoint’s FLEX cameras offer high-quality video recording with sound, allowing you to capture those extraordinary encounters in full motion. And, the high-definition videos make for great content to share with the entire family.
Kids and non-hunters especially love to view your best shots and see what’s coming by your area year-round. Immerse yourself in the action and relive those adrenaline-filled moments whenever you want with SpyPoint’s app. However, not every SpyPoint camera captures video, so if that is something you are looking for in your camera, you will want to stick with their FLEX cameras.
Effective camera placement is critical to successful scouting. SpyPoint’s cameras are very small and easy to transport and place in the best spot possible. Once you’ve picked your spot, all you need to do is ensure the camera has a battery fully charged, and an empty SD card. From there, just make sure it’s turned on, and you’re ready to control everything else right from the app. Plus, with SpyPoint’s affordable cameras like the LM2, you can have multiple out in the field, giving you the option to have double the scouting compared to other brands.
Utilize SpyPoint cameras to their fullest potential by following these strategic placement tips:
SpyPoint cameras excel in capturing the movements and behavior of turkey and deer. These cameras provide a ton of helpful information like specific dates and times that game is in your area. But the tricks go even further than that. You can also tell what direction they’re coming from, and how long they stay in an area. Plus, with the LM2’s 90-foot detection range, you can cover a larger amount of land to ensure you’ll capture anything that comes within the area of your camera.
The camera also provides intel on temperatures and moon phases. All of this is very important when you are trying to pattern your game. This will enhance your scouting and increase your chances of a successful hunt.
SpyPoint cameras provide more than just hunting advantages. They are perfect for monitoring water tanks, ensuring wildlife access while preventing cattle intrusion. You can also employ these cameras for property security, tracking vehicles entering your premises, or deterring potential thefts. Your safety and peace of mind will be well kept with SpyPoint’s cameras.
For avid hunters and land managers, SpyPoint cameras are indispensable tools when monitoring food plots and bait sites. You can utilize the time-lapse mode to observe deer entry and exit points, helping you make informed decisions for your hunting strategy. Stay one step ahead of your game.
