Spypoint Flex Review

You may have seen the Spypoint Flex in the advertisement or the Amazon-sponsored bar. And question yourself: Is it really worth the price among the TactaCam, Browning, Moultrie, and others?

With my field test, I must say that this is a reliable and high-performing trail camera for outdoor enthusiasts and hunters. It outperforms other trail cameras in its price range. Features include a fine-tuned network chip, dual SIM configuration, GPS tracker, AI-based animal tracker, inbuilt microphone, and accurate moon phase readings.

The product design of the Flex series is sleek and user-friendly, with easy access to ports and buttons

Why Spypoint Flex is better than others

The SPYPOINT FLEX (G-36) builds on the features and performance of the FLEX while offering adaptability and customization to start the season at its best. Photos jump to 36 megapixels, but you can also receive 1080p video with sound. Sharing the same dual SIM configuration, the FLEX G-36 is easy to use and set up, so you can spend more time exploring the camera than fiddling with it.

Network enhancement

Its fine-tuned network chip connects the optimal network around the device. It’s hybridized with AT&T and Verizon. So, there is no way of discontinuing your data transmission. 

GPS Tracker

It also offers GPS. So, any time you can locate your camera. These features also protect your camera from being stolen. Because you can track your device through the app. You can use all the hiding tactics to hide your camera from humans. But this kind of extra feature will permanently save you in many ways.

The global positioning system also helps you get an accurate temperature. To understand your location.

AI-based animal tracker

This feature makes Spypoint stand out. It’s an additional feature for the Spypoint Insider Club member through its app. But, it helps to categorize all the animals through the ADVANCED BUCKTRACKER AI.

Say, after having your office or work, you opened its app to view your pictures. Usually, it takes a long time to see and identify all of your photos. But the BUCKTRACKER AI will automatically scan your data and navigate you to make a proper investigation.

Because it knows the difference between bucks and does. This feature also helps you to understand the animal types around your spot. 

Inbuilt microphone

Spypoint Flex also comes with an inbuilt microphone. On my test, I got a decent job. Sometimes, it can help to spot your device in the right place by hearing the sound.

Moon Phase

Lots of expensive camera offers moon phase, but I found Flex’s reading is sharp enough. You can get this data in the app and photo time stamp.

Spypoint offers a free starter plan.

Another cool feature is its free stater plan of 100 photos for the regular consumer or 250 pictures for the Insider Club member. They should increase this number, and every cell-cam company should follow this step.

Picture and Video quality

Firstly, you must spellbound by its photo and video quality. It produces 36 megapixels of photos and 1080p videos. As a result, images are sharper & crisper. In a word, it performed tremendously both at night and in the daytime. Its images are sharp and crisp. The dynamic range is well-balanced, so you won’t face overexposed photos or videos.

Detection and Trigger Speed

Flex’s detection range is 100ft, straight before the camera. It detects animals with accuracy. I’ve got only 4 false detections among my 574 image test results. That way less than 1%. So it won’t be a big deal.

It uses white flash in the nighttime. So, the trigger speed is blazingly fast. And that’s only 0.3 seconds. But don’t expect color images at night.

Design and Build Quality

Its design is robotic but clean. You won’t find any overwhelming excessive shape on the exterior. And in hand, feel is also good.

All the sensors are fixed to the main housing. And you can access all the buttons and ports covered at the lower portion. The battery compartment is underneath those buttons.

And you can attach the camera by the strap or any standard mounting system. 

Ports and Buttons

This camera is so user-friendly. It powers up with the ON-OFF toggle switch, and you can quickly get the battery level by the 4-step LEDs. 

On the left, it has a storage format button, which is essential. As you know, sometimes Trail camera misbehaves with the SD Card or storage. A dedicated button for formatting the storage is always a timesaver.

After that, it has a dedicated Test button. It also helps you to get the proper position and framing for your trail camera.

Final Thoughts

Spypoint Flex definitely offers the best features in its price range for outdoor enthusiasts and hunters alike. Its new network diagnosis system, 36MP sharp photos, and 1080p video are worth the money.
