Trail camera - Added wifi

[Foxyboy43]

Anyone using the wifi plug-in (name escapes me!) for a trail camera please? If so how has it turned out? Thanks.

No idea, is it the spy-point one? Cellular? I’m looking at trail cams at the moment, don’t think I can justify the cellular versions tbh, memory card will need to be retrieved…… but cost diff is significant.

And I won’t cry so much if some toe-rag nicks it

I use WIFI AVIN on the thermal, probably work on trail cams too

Spy point cell link. Have got it working but a bit of a pain to set up. So much so, I'm not using it . You plug it into a standard trail cam.

Another vote for the spypoint less than £200 when I bought mine so not a huge investment picture quality is not the best at night better during the day.

I had the spy point add on - worked for a month or so then packed in. Refunded through Amazon so got the micro lite lte complete camera. Got 2 of them now and picture quality not great but I’m on the free package (100 images per month free) rather than the paid for HD plan). Good enough for ID though.

Here’s one from tonight that just came through:




Be aware cellular and WiFi are different though - WiFi just allows you to connect your phone to the camera when you’re in range (20m or so). Cellular transmits images over mobile network so you get them to your phone anywhere.

I’ve gone for a couple of the campark Wi-Fi 20mp ones……. I’ll put them near two highseats then I can see what’s there, just under £60 from eBay.

A couple of retailers have the cellular spypoint ones for £169 now I see ( Amazon had one with a voucher to apply af checkout)…..

I’ll see how I get on with the Wi-Fi versions, if they tell me useful things I may splash out later on the spypoint…..

Looks good, what’s the free package - no subs at all?? Do you get any video with that?

Just images and 100 free per month, no subscription. Prices are in canadian $ I seem to recall:

I would be interested in the range of the WiFi Bluetooth. If it was 30 yards it might be useful.
I just use the cheapest simplest "victure," and put quite a few out. Not too expensive if they get stolen.
The spypoint cellular will send a still Photo through the network, I think I get 50 free, but they keep emailing you to subscribe. I've only tried mine experimentally but I'll set it up in the field and see the results.

 

[Andy seatrout]

I’ll see, with Bluetooth it isn’t going to work that far out…. But I’m placing them to be very near two highseats- so once you’re up there, turn on the Wi-Fi and download……. That’s the theory anyway.

At the very least it’ll tell me if the deer are there, or as Eric Morecambe didn’t say; all the right deer, at the right place, at the wrong time

I've just bought a Campark. The camera works fine for my purposes, but connecting to any app using wifi is a nightmare. Loads of reviews saying the same, interested if anyone has any solutions.

Cheers

I bought the campark x2, not taken it out to the estate yet ( tomorrow) but activating the blue tooth was straightforward, read instructions, downloaded app from QR code on my iPhone, held down the up arrow, found the camera on settings/ Bluetooth, typed in the password, connected ……..

I’ll trial the distance it works today when I’m walking/ flying the spaniels at lunchtime

Good luck, mine was a wifi only model T75 I think. Would connect to the phone, but not the app.

 

[Andy seatrout]

I’d have to look at the box, out at the moment - was eBay from a uk stockist, two days postage and it connected to the app….

I've been personally using a Spypoint Micro LTE for monitoring foxes and woodland deer for a year now. Photo quality is good and I've only just replaced the second set of batteries. Won't work if you've got no phone signal at the site or if batteries drop to less than 25%. We have loads of keepers using them to monitor foxes and for security. One customer has 12 about the place. Plenty in stock if you want one. Phone if you fancy a chat. Cheers, Glenn
