- Here we review the SPYPOINT Link Micro S Solar trail camera. This is SPYPOINT's solar powered version of the Link Micro. If you are in the market for a new trail and game camera, and are tired of spending too much money on endless disposable batteries, watch this before you buy!
This has the ability to be a game changer for your deer, hog, elk, or other game hunting areas! This camera combines the the benefits of a cellular camera and solar capabilities to make it ideal for any backcountry or remote hunting areas.
Here is what the SPYPOINT website says about it:
The LINK-MICRO-S-LTE from SPYPOINT gives you the incredible battery life of our integrated solar panel technology and free LIT-10 rechargeable lithium battery pack, with the value you would expect from our LINK-MICRO family. Save money by making fewer trips to your hunting property to change batteries, check cards, and by never buying batteries again.
The LINK-MICRO-S-LTE connects to the LTE cellular network, ensuring that the camera can provide years of service in the ever-evolving landscape of cellular network technology.
• 10 megapixels
• 80-foot detection and flash range
• 0.4 second trigger speed
The LINK-MICRO-S-LTE comes with the new LIT-10 rechargeable lithium battery pack included, a $49.99 value, which is charged directly by the integrated solar panel. The LIT-10 battery pack replaces the standard battery tray of the LINK-MICRO design, for foolproof installation.

Dang, only getting a month on the batteries? What settings are you running? I could usually get 2-3, but I just had it on a trail not a feeder. I did a video on the setup as well and like the camera a lot. Have you checked out the Tactacam reveals? I did a comparison video on my channel and actually lean towards the Tactacam. It seems more reliable, but is missing some features the spypoint has. Good review though, and I’m so happy they are making cell cameras that are budget friendly now!
Ya- ours are set at medium sensitivity and 1x per day transmission. They are on pretty high traffic feeders though! We get 100-200+ pictures per day. Solar as been a life saver!
Just a quick question since you guys have much experience with all of these cameras...i have tresspasers on my land regulary and i was thinking of using these cameras to catch them...is there an no-flash option on them? My house is in the middle of forrest with no electricity so hence my question (i live in europe btw).And if you have any other good advice on using these types of camera for catching trespassers?Standard surveillance cameras are big,ugly and easy to see so i like these hunting ones...was thinking of buying Spypoint Solar Dark.
Thanks for this review........it was quite helpful. Since there is no charger for the lithium battery (like I get when I purchase new landscape photography mirrorless cameras) do you just put the battery in the camera then charge it from there. (This is probably a dumb question.)
Great camera and features. Seems like it’s worth it for long term use and battery costs.
100%!!!!
The solar sounds good. I have the non solar option. Lithium batteries are the only way to go without solar. It also depends how often you want the camera to transmit photos. Good review.
No doubt! Great input- thanks!!!
great review WTHG's. have you noticed any of your older deer picking up where the camera is located? I hunt heavy pressured deer in SW Michigan and now put my camera's up about 10' or so to avoid discovery by deer or camera thieves. thank you.
We haven’t noticed that specifically, but those older deer are smart ones, so you never know!
Does the sun change the solar up
Awesome! Hoping they release the lunar powered version soon!!!
Right?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣
Where I live there are cougars, coyotes and other creatures running around at night. How clear is the night vision? Just showing SOMETHING, or can you see what it is? And can you only see something if there is movement or can you access the camera at any time from your phone?
This one does have pretty solid night vision. There are definitely other cameras that have a little better clarity, but for a cellular camera this one does pretty good. Yes - it only works with movement. Those cougars won’t be able to sneak up on you!
Great review! Im in need of a good cell cam this year! I might grab one to try!
Thanks man!
Need an update for after a year or two. Seems most SPYPOINT , at least from a lot of folks, stop working after a year. I’ve got 1 that has started to act up after 11 months. Regular Link, not the included solar. I put a solar charger on it though.
Those are great cameras. Depending on where you hunt, some people may need to get the signal booster. We hunt in throckmorton and have the boosters on both cameras
That’s a great call! Thanks for adding that!
Great review!!!
Thanks man!!!👊🏼
Good stuff! Thanks for the info!
Thanks for watching!!!
Any follow to this camera?
Love it, been wanting to order a few for Hallettsville!!
They definitely make it easier!!
You got a ranch? Or where do people go to hunt around that area…moving to Victoria soon.
Just bought same model . . i will not activate it..i use it right out of the box...i bought it for its solar charger feature... i dont need a cell plan not will i need the HD picture that are an optional fee.. im done with paying fee . . . save it for Carn'are'dah'
Nice!
Real nice....
Had 2 and both died fast. You would think a camera that was out in the open could withstand rain. These both had their internals die due to rain soaked electronics.
We love ours!!! SKT1518.
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 We love not ALWAYS replacing batteries!
They cannot handle rain. I had 2 solar, and they both leaked and shorted out. Non-solar can handle the rain, but not the solar ones.
We’ve found some of that as well since then. Thanks for watching!
Nice man!
Thanks!
Please ignore my previous question. I see what I was missing.
I purchased five of this cameras two of them not working properly customer service it's not the best I bought this cameras because I wash you videos I'm sorry they're not worth it the downloaded the software and the software monster trigger something on those cameras that are not working properly
Guys I bought one and it didnt work right out of the box, I contact customer service they send me another and it didnt work out of the box, even bought new sd cards and then I got a 3rd. That one doesnt work. Boys the quality in these suck is all I can say!!!
We’ve since switched to the Tactacam Reveal solars and have been WAY happier.
I have a link eve and a link micro that I used last year and now this year it won't link up and I was told I needed to upgrade my camera program for substantual fee more than twice I paid for the camera plus you want me to pay to chat to an expert first ridicules what a racket I have several other cell cameras that don't have to be reprogramed after the first year what a crock
Worst camera on the market. Complete junk. Firmware issue very common.
After a month all of my cameras were leaking and shorting out. Complete garbage.
That’s crazy. We never had any problems with them leaking or shorting, we did have problems ultimately with poor battery life.
This is the worst camera I’ve ever had I had to send it back!
