New SPYPOINT FLEX-S Solar Trail Camera
The FLEX-S from SPYPOINT harnesses the sun’s power with an integrated solar panel charging an internal lithium battery. Season-long autonomy is within reach, which means fewer trips and less disturbance, paving the way for the best hunting season of your life.
“We’ve been pioneers in a lot of ways, but perhaps no innovation has meant more to consumers than our integrated solar technology,” Alexandre McElhaw, SPYPOINT General Manager, offered. “We’ve saved our customers untold thousands of dollars with our affordable cameras and class-leading photo transmission plans but saving on batteries with our solar technology is such an obvious and quantifiable benefit, we wanted to extend it to users of the FLEX-series of cameras as well.”
The FLEX-S has an internal lithium battery, but also allows for eight AA backups, or the addition of the LIT-22 battery pack. When the internal battery percentage dips to a certain point, the FLEX-S will toggle over to the backup batteries until the solar panel has recharged the internal battery to a suitable level. At that time, the camera will toggle back to the internal battery. This toggle feature optimizes battery life and performance for both battery options.
FLEX users have been raving about the quality of the 33MP photos and 1080p videos with sound, and how good both look in the app. The FLEX-S will continue delivering the same brilliant photo and video quality as well as the easy-to-use features SPYPOINT users have come to rely on, like test and format buttons, GPS functionality, and the ability to update firmware remotely.
The SPYPOINT FLEX-S will use the same true dual-SIM configuration to connect to the best network regardless of the service provider, but with some connectivity improvements. It comes with two preactivated SIM cards already installed, so when the camera is in use, it will automatically connect to the network with the strongest, most reliable signal available. Hunters can deploy the FLEX-S without worrying about carrier model selection. Getting into the field and receiving photos and videos has never been easier.
“The FLEX-S builds on a camera that has already seen a great deal of success and that has wowed customers with incredible photos and videos. But this isn’t just adding a solar option to an existing camera,” added McElhaw. “This is in many ways a new FLEX, an even better FLEX that hundreds of thousands of customers are already thrilled with. We got here by pushing the envelope and bringing new, exciting ideas and products to the marketplace, and we aren’t going to stop doing that now,” he concluded.
