Three of them belong to me. on the lookout for better solutions. The cost is as follows There will be an additional $5 charge per camera per month from Verizon. All you pay Verizon will be the $5 you will be out of pocket per month IF you ask to ONLY have the photos emailed to you. Please note that you do not have to use the Spartan Phone app (you can use email instead), but if you use the app, there will be a monthly fee per camera. After you run out of 'Credits,' the camera will still save pictures to the SD Card, but it will no longer send them to your phone and app even when you renew your 'Premium Credits'. A new set of photos will be sent, but the ones you've already seen won't. the photos are only being emailed to you, THEN you do not need to worry about paying for premium credits. Taking a look at the camera now. A power external to the operating system They now say if you want to power this with an external battery that you have to buy their battery box for $120 (which does not come with batteries). At the time I purchased the first two of these cameras, this battery box did not exist. There are 3 cameras in my possession All four of them are 4G LTE GoCams. Having only about $60 - $75 worth of battery box is a good deal I don't know. Considering the fact that the device comes without a battery, it is way overpriced. Despite the plastic battery box and wires, there is nothing that will keep squirrels and other insects from chewing I selected the following statements - #1 When the DC plug for the external battery is plugged into the camera, the door will not open - I don't think that's a good idea. Item #2 Furthermore, the DC power port is very close to the 1/4" mount, which makes mounting and swiveling more difficult.
#3 - The DC power port is very close to where the 1/4" mount is located. In my opinion, the worst thing about this camera is that it runs on 6V instead of If you want to purchase a solar panel and charge controller, and a battery to charge a battery externally, most of the solar panels and chargers are 12 volts. Currently, there is a "Spartan solar panel" available on Amazon. This particular solar panel turns off at no point, and it had no effect on our system. In #4, I wished the camera's delay between photos was a little less significant. Most often a UPS or post office truck pulls up and it takes a picture of the vehicle, but rarely is a picture taken of where the truck is parked. Despite setting the delay to five seconds, which is the shortest delay, in reality, the delay is much longer than that because I've moved around in front of the camera and it has been a while between pictures. It took some time to resolve an issue with the Customer Support. It seems that one of my cameras has broken down. Power was not being supplied to the device. When I contacted customer support, they never answered the phone, but if you left a voice mail, they would call you back. During our phone call, we discussed several issues. The two of us exchanged e-mails. It was a pleasure to speak to him and he was very The technician sent me an RMA form and I sent them the camera with a check to cover the costs of sending the camera back to me after it's been repaired. After testing the camera, they returned it, noting that it was working and they did not need to make any changes. My guess is that there is a short somewhere, but luckily, it is working again There's a very nice guy serving as a support fellow, a very helpful individual. When they call you back, you will be informed As far as I know, that's what I've experienced. Emailing them gets me a response within a short period of time. I have found support very helpful and easy to get in touch with It's just that you shouldn't expect anyone to pick up They will reach out to you if you send them a message.
I'm still looking for a better solution overall. A 12V camera with an external DC power plug would be great for me. According to Spartan Ghost Cam that just came out, it is supposed to be a 12V camera with a DC power plug, but it comes with a lithium battery in the body, and it is $400 to $450. I am going to wait and see how that goes.
On the back of our business property, I am going to use this as a burglar cam. The Wi-Fi was too far away so this option was the best choice. The cost was slightly higher than those without cell devices, but it was well worth it in the long run. The process of adding Verizon to my existing plan was simple. opted for an extra video plan with Spartan so I could receive videos through the app. It had been worth the 3$ a month to me. There is a possibility that I will purchase two There is only one negative the video can only be 10 seconds long. In my other cameras, 30 seconds is the maximum.
My only complaint is that it costs money to get pictures in real time. Only reason it did not get a full 5 star rating is the credits you must buy to get your pictures. If you have it billed to your wireless plan, you'll be on the hook for a lot of money. Is it kind of like dipping your toes in both sauces?.
Our family has purchased four of these in the last few years to view wildlife. Here are some of the problems we have had with them If an animal brushes up against an antenna, it may cause the antenna to break. There are still problems with the SD cards, even if you use the recommended products The battery eats If you request HD photos, you not only will not get that photo in HD, but it will also be deleted from the server (a new problem). In terms of positive aspects, the 8MP photos are high quality and the wireless function is useful. Given all the significant problems with them, they are overpriced.
It was only a few weeks after the camera was installed that the lens developed condensation inside, which caused It had been 33 days since I purchased the product when I contacted Amazon to arrange an exchange or return. I was not able to return it through Amazon because Spartan has a 30 day return policy. There were a lot of frustrations in working with Spartan. For the return shipping, there is a check for 95 cents). This "repair" was not pleasant for me given the trouble of making a brand new camera work. Despite the fact that their repair department checked it, they replaced it with another camera despite its malfunction. Aside from being pretty durable, this camera also takes good pictures when it is functioning properly. I also have no trouble setting it up on my iPhone and get the pictures reliably through the app. The replacement camera has now been in use for a few weeks now, and so far it seems to be working well. The fact that the lens developed a problem so soon after I bought it and Spartan was not very accommodating when it came to the replacement was disappointing to me. After working with Spartan, I decided to use CreativeXP for the additional three cameras as I've found them to be reliable. The outcome won't be known for a while.
This camera replaced a SPYPOINT Link Micro that I had been using because the SPYPOINT couldn't get pics to me from the swamp bottom it was located. Despite its small size, the Spartan performs admirably! Despite the fact that I am my first Spartan customer, I will return once more. I found the setup process to be easy as well! There were some reviews that say the set-up is terrible, but I did not encounter it. It's impressive how well the Spartan did! This camera takes great pictures and the app is very user friendly (using it on my Due to the fact that I have never had to contact Spartan customer support, I cannot comment on their support. There are some things in life that are expensive - this is one of them. The quality of what you get is determined by the price!.
Christmas was the perfect time to give my husband a new camera. There is no better way to spend an afternoon! I'm really impressed with the quality of the picture. trail cams now include a text message feature that makes leaving a message and receiving pictures the coolest feature The deer watching camera is even set up in the front yard so we can watch their patterns.
Cameras such as this are fantastic. I really like these The quality of photos taken at night is usually poorer than that of those taken during the day. There are no ducts in the unit, so it is quite My location has poor cell service, so I particularly appreciate that it comes with an antenna. I had a SmartScouter camera that was very problematic and took very poor It was even worse when it came to customer service. They should have ceased to exist, and I'm glad they did. After being directed to look for options, I found the Spartan to be a very good option.
