@@fishfarmhunt I'm not understanding how I up date it. Is there something I have to download? Can you please help me out. I have 2 that just stop working and customer service is bad
@@alfonsoquinonez5895 So you need to download the latest firmware for your camera if it's a link-micro you go to this site www.spypoint.com/en/support/cellular-trail-camera/product-link-micro.html And download and unzip the files to you sd card then turn off you camera insert your sd card and the camera does the rest
You should use a better battery in that camera. Lithiums are great and last about 3 times longer as the ones you got in there. Cheers on the video!

You should be able to download the update file to your phone all you would need is an SD card reader to transfer the file to the camera
Not teaching anything just shows how he thinks he is a computer guru. PITIFUL
