Camera Review
This is
the big dog in the Spypoints mini cam line. This cam is available in their
great camo or in a flat black case. Looking at the standard Spypoint cameras
and shrink that same look down to 4 ½ X 7 X 3 inch box then you can imagine
what this camera looks like. This camera is not cheap $449.00 but is a full
featured camera tucked into a mini cam case. Things like view screen (3
inch), solar panel port, sound recording on video, and a whopping 12 MP
picture size. Just like its cheaper little brother this is a camera in a box
type configuration. The case can be mounted and aimed, and the camera
removed and held in your hand for programming and other operations. The
programming is joy stick driven and the PIR sensor is knob controlled for
distance. The IR array is in appearance the same as the large cameras from
this company and has a count of 46. This should provide plenty of down range
light. The video mode is a single 640X480 setting, which is the most
popular. A couple of extra things are printed on the picture after the
time/date. These are moon phase and temperature. There is a USB and TV out
ports on the side of the camera near the SD card slot. Internal memory is
limited to 32 MB. To power this small camera you will need 6 AA cells or 6
NIMH rechargeable cells to work in conjunction to the solar panel. The low
battery indicator is on the view screen. This being a 12 MP camera is a
giant over kill for scouting but some folks may find it as being a plus. My
take is I would tone it down and select one of the other settings like the 8
MP or the 5MP settings. Probably the 5 MP setting would get the most use.
For those who use the multi shot feature this camera will go up to 6
pictures in a row. Delay settings go down to 1 second and up to 30s, 1m, 5m.
This camera slipped into the system out of sequence and we went ahead and
did the trigger and sensing tests. We have two other cameras ahead of this
camera so it will have to wait its turn. The trigger time for with and
without flash came in at 2 and 1.5 seconds respectively while the sensing
range was out to 45 feet.
08-07-2009 update: While we are getting some cameras out of the way I will
go over some of the fit and feel items that this camera has. Absolutely
deluxe, this is one way I can describe the fit and feel. This little camera
is feature loaded as it should be for the price that it cost ($450). Items
like the sound on video, facilities for rechargeable lithium and solar
panel, large view screen (3”), down to 10 second delay), Multi-shot,
Adjustable PIR, and of course that miniature size. To get the camera ready
for rechargeable battery operation using NiMH/rechargeable AA lithium, there
is a small switch behind the second to the last battery that must be pushed
toward the top of the camera. For standard alkaline batteries the switch
should be pushed toward the bottom of the camera. The rear of the camera has
loops that may be use for a Python cable but I am going to have to figure a
route for the cable to make it effective. Feet the Python cable right to
left through the two loops on the back of the camera and then around the
tree and then from the rear through the lock loop on the door and across the
front of the camera between the flash and PIR lens, then through the lock
portion of the Python (see picture). This requires two trips around the tree
so it will only work as long as the Python is long enough or the tree to
big. Having that amount of money hanging on a tree un attended would make me
come up with some kind of good security. We think that the people over at
Custom1enterprises will solve this problem pretty quick once they find out
about this camera. The rest of the review will be up to this camera.
08-18-2009 update: We finally made a hole and this camera is now set out in
the picture mode. It was very hard to just have this camera waiting for the
space but to be fair to the ones that were in line ahead of this camera we
had to wait for a slot to put it to work. This is a premium little camera
with a world of features. It will take a while to get through everything. It
is out there now so we are just going to have to wait a day or so for our
first results so we can post some pictures.
08-21-2009 update: Wow, we pulled a card and started through what pictures
that we were able to capture. Other than a slight blur that is on moving
animals the day color pictures are very sharp clear and have very true
color. Most folks would be happy with these results. The night IR pictures
are exceptional when the subject is still but has that blur on the moving
animals. We did not have any whiteout issues at all so far with this camera.
I think that I would personally prefer the bright pictures with a slight
blur on movement than dark pictures with out the blur that would require
editing. I am very happy but some may need a more perfect picture for their
needs. This expensive little jewel has most everything together except that
moderate blur issue we found.
08-26-2009 update: A few more days and all we can say is that this camera
does everything very good. It is most definitely their best effort yet with
the introduction of this costly little camera. If the price was somewhat
less this camera would be a lot of competition for all of the higher cost
cameras. A bunch more pictures and no white out of other indications of
issues other than that slight blur on movement. Very good color and night
illumination.
08-30-2009 update: This little camera just kept taking videos and pictures
to the tune of 150 movies and 1543 pictures. The batteries lasted about two
weeks. Keep in mind it does have an external port for battery hookup for
those who want the cam to last longer.
