SpyPoint Solar Dark

Spypoint Solar-Dark

Compact yet capable, the Solar-Dark trail camera from Spypoint packs a punch and delivers lots of different functions to keep even the most discerning of users happy. It is easy to set up, competitively priced and developed by a manufacturer with a good reputation to back up its products.

Quick spec overview
Like many of Spypoint’s modern trail camera models, this unit opts for a 12-megapixel maximum image capture resolution, which is more than enough for most purposes. Its video capture tops out at 1080p, meaning that you can shoot in full HD and get great results whether it is bright daylight or after dark, thanks to the low glow infrared LEDs mounted around the lens.

Reviewing the snaps and clips the camera captures is simple thanks to the integrated 2-inch display, which also allows you to make changes to the settings and control the way in which the camera behaves when it is left to its own devices.

With a 0.07-second trigger speed, a motion sensor that can detect movement at up to 33.5 metres and an SD card reader that provides plenty of storage options for users, in all the Solar-Dark is able to provide plenty of compelling ingredients to tempt potential buyers.

Solar panel included means that any rechargeable batteries you use can be kept topped up by the sunlight alone. This is ideal if you want to leave the camera set up for longer periods without returning to check up on it.

Video: Full HD video recording from 10 to 90 seconds with sound with a photo first option.

More advantages
There are plenty of other reasons to recommend the Spypoint Solar-Dark to trail camera buyers, with its rugged design being a particularly important selling point. It is built to withstand adverse weather conditions and the unit comes with a mounting strap, which means that attaching it to a tree or a post is straightforward even if this is your first time using a trail camera.

Giving you plenty of control over how it performs, this rugged and capable device is also cost-effective because it avoids including any wireless connectivity capabilities, unlike its more expensive stablemates.
