@@fishfarmhunt I'm not understanding how I up date it. Is there something I have to download? Can you please help me out. I have 2 that just stop working and customer service is bad
@@alfonsoquinonez5895 So you need to download the latest firmware for your camera if it's a link-micro you go to this site www.spypoint.com/en/support/cellular-trail-camera/product-link-micro.html And download and unzip the files to you sd card then turn off you camera insert your sd card and the camera does the rest
You should use a better battery in that camera. Lithiums are great and last about 3 times longer as the ones you got in there. Cheers on the video!
Thank u soooo much!
