Spypoint Flex-Plus

Spypoint Flex-Plus

The Spypoint Flex-Plus is the newest model of Spypoint (2024) with excellent 4G coverage. With this it is possible to use a SIM card anywhere in the world to send camera images (both photos and videos) to the Spypoint App on your smartphone or to a special online environment on the computer. The sensor sensitivity of the camera can be set to your own preference (low, medium, high). For example, you can choose a high sensitivity in order to get smaller animals on camera more easily. If the focus is on larger animals, or to reduce the number of 'false triggers' (i.e. photos in which no animal is present), a lower sensitivity can be chosen. Unlike Spypoint's standard model, this model features dual battery capacity to enable Instant Mode and on-demand requests. The Spypoint Flex-Plus features Instant Mode, which allows you to change settings and instantly request on-demand or high-definition photos and videos via the SPYPOINT app. The wildlife camera is equipped with an invisible infrared flash, which ensures that animals will not be disturbed! Additional noteworthy specifications of the Spypoint Flex-Plus are:

• Detection range of 30 meter
• Flash range of 30 meter
• Maximum photo resolution of 36MP (interpolated)
• 1080p Full HD video resolution
• Time-lapse

The housing has one locking clip at the bottom, where the control buttons are located and where AA batteries and the Micro-SD card should be inserted.

Spypoint Flex-Plus | Data tarieven

The Spypoint Flex-Plus has an internal built-in 4G SIM card. This wildlife camera has a simlock, and therefore it is not possible to insert another sim card yourself. You have to use the international SIM card included in the camera, which automatically selects the best available network at the location where the camera is placed. This works within the Netherlands, but also in the rest of Europe. Each month you get the first 100 images for free, once you have reached this limit, the camera will no longer send images to the app that month (it will of course still record and store them locally on the memory card). For a monthly fee, you can arrange to forward more images per month. This monthly fee is paid directly to Spypoint, and so we are not in the middle of this. The rates for the various packages are shown below. For more info on Spypoint data bundles, we would like to refer you to Spypoint.

Compared to a regular prepaid SIM card and the associated fees for forwarding images, these rates are very much in line with the market. For example, if you choose the "Standard package", you pay €10 per month (or even just €7 per month if you pay in 1x for a whole year) in exchange for 1,000 photos. That means you pay about 1 cent per forwarded photo. When using a regular KPN Prepaid SIM card, the rate per photo is also about 1 cent. You can change or stop the tariff plan at any time and go back to the free version.

Spypoint Flex-Plus | Recommended accessories

The Spypoint Flex-Plus is only delivered with the necessary SIM-cards and a nylon strap. However, to get started with your cameratrap right away, you need at least a set of batteries and an SDHC memory card. For this model, this is a MICRO-SD memory card of at least Class 10, such as the Sandisk Ultra cards. Additionally, we recommend to use the Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries (not rechargeable), or the Panasonic Eneloop and Eneloop PRO rechargeable NiMH batteries. The advantage of the lithium batteries over the rechargeable Eneloop batteries is that the former are more resistant to winter temperatures. The disadvantage however, is that they are non-rechargeable. If you choose rechargeable batteries, think of the Everactive battery charger, in case you don't have a good battery charger in your house! A very good alternative for powering this camera is the Spypoint LIT-22 battery. It was developed specifically for this model and without a doubt provides the longest battery life! This camera has dual battery capacity, so can accommodate two LIT-22 rechargeable batteries or 16 AA batteries if needed.

In addition to batteries and a memory card, there is a variety of other accessories available for this cameramodel. There are all kinds of special mounting materials such as tree forks and supports, but also accessories that ensure that the camera is placed more securely, such as a security enclosures or a python cable lock. You can select these accessories directly above and place your order as a bundle, but you can also view the complete overview of accessories here.
