Link-S-Dark

The Spypoint Link-S-Dark is designed for the scout who needs maximum stealth and extended battery life, especially in areas where light is available for charging. This camera combines Spypoint’s reliable cellular transmission with an integrated solar panel and a 'dark' or no-glow flash, making it incredibly discreet at night. The solar panel continuously charges the internal lithium battery, providing exceptionally long deployment times, potentially months without needing a battery change if positioned correctly in adequate sunlight. This minimizes human presence and disturbance, which is critical for wary game or in security applications. The no-glow IR flash is a significant advantage, rendering the camera virtually invisible to both animals and humans at night, without the tell-tale red glow of standard IR flashes. While no-glow images are generally not as bright or detailed as low-glow options, the Link-S-Dark does a commendable job, providing usable images for identification. Daytime image quality is solid, and trigger speed is effective. However, the solar panel does add to the camera's overall size, making it less compact than other models. For situations demanding ultimate stealth and very long battery life through solar power, the Link-S-Dark is a specialized tool that excels at its mission. **Highlights** * Integrated solar panel for extended, hands-off battery life. * 'Dark' (no-glow) IR flash for ultimate nighttime stealth. * Long-term deployment capability with minimal disturbance. * Reliable cellular connectivity. * Good daytime image quality and effective trigger speed. * Built-in internal rechargeable battery. **Watch-outs** * No-glow night images are generally less bright than low-glow. * Larger physical footprint due to the solar panel. * Solar charging effectiveness depends on sun availability. * Higher price point than non-solar models.
