The LM2 is true to the legacy of affordable, reliable, and easy-to-use cellular trail cameras that has made SPYPOINT an industry leader.

NOTE
We suggest using a SPYPOINT #LIT-10 rechargeable lithium battery pack with your camera. It offers a longer battery life than AA batteries, and saves money over the life of the camera.
If you choose to plug an external 12 V battery (#KIT-12V, sold separately) into your camera, it becomes your camera's new primary power source. The AA batteries will only be used once the 12 V battery is depleted.
You can check the battery level of your device:
The use of a memory card is necessary for the operation of the camera. It is used to save pictures and other camera status files. Note that photos in their original format are kept on the memory card. The photos sent to your application are lighter versions. You can retrieve your photos at any time by removing the card from the device and transferring the contents to another device (e.g.: computer).
Your camera requires a microSD memory card, with a maximum capacity of 32 GB, sold separately. Here is a table showing the approximate quantity of photos that can be recorded on the card, according to different memory card capacities.
MEMORY | 4 GB | 8 GB | 16 GB | 32 GB |
PHOTOS 20 MP | 190 | 380 | 760 | 1 520 |
Before inserting the microSD card into your camera, it must be formatted via a computer to ensure proper operations. Visit www.spypoint.com/en/support if you need help formatting your microSD card.
The antenna doesn't come installed. Please insert as shown in the photo.
Before you can use your camera, you must activate it. To do so, you will need the activation code.
The activation code is located inside the LM2's battery compartment.
On your mobile device or a computer, use the web browser and navigate to www.spypoint.com, select "LOGIN" in the top navigation menu. On the displayed "SPYPOINT" page, select "CREATE AN ACCOUNT", fill out the required fields, then log in. Once your account is created you can either continue to use the web version of the application or you can switch to the mobile application.
If you choose to use the SPYPOINT app to activate your device, follow these steps:

IMPORTANT VERIFICATIONS BEFORE STARTING YOUR CAMERA:
You can use the following test to make sure everything works as it should:
NOTE
Inside your camera's door is a small checklist to guide you through the different steps to start your device.
Use the SPYPOINT app to configure your camera.
MODE Photos only | Allows you to start the device in Photo mode. The Video mode and the Time-lapse mode are not offered for this camera model. |
DELAY Instant; 10 seconds; 1 minute; 3 minutes; 5 minutes; 10 minutes; 15 minutes; 30 minutes | Allows you to choose the period of time to wait before the camera detects again and records the next picture. A longer delay minimizes the number of photos taken and therefore maximizes battery life. A shorter delay maximizes surveillance in the area but consumes more power. Shorter delays are recommended when the camera is used for security purposes. |
MULTI-SHOT 1; 2 | Allows you to take 2 consecutive photos at each detection, with a 5-second delay between each photo. |
SENSIBILITY Low; medium; high | Allows you to choose the detection sensitivity of the device. A higher sensitivity allows you to detect movement in front of the camera more effectively, so the camera will take more pictures. |
CAMERA NAME All possible values | Allows you to name the camera for easy identification. This function is very useful for users with more than one camera. |
FIRST TRANSFER TIME All possible combinations | Allows you to choose the time when the camera makes its first transfer of the day. Note: the camera transfers are configured by default with 4-hour intervals, determined from the time you activated your camera. For example, if your camera was activated at 1:42 p.m., the next transfer will be at 5:42 p.m. |
TRANSFER FREQUENCY 1; 2; 6; 12; each detection | Allows you to choose the number of transfers the device performs each day. |
DATE FORMAT MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY | Allows you to choose the date format displayed. |
TIME FORMAT 12 h or 24 h | Allows you to choose the time format displayed. |
TEMPERATURE UNIT °C/°F | Allows you to choose the temperature unit format displayed. |
OPERATING PERIOD 24 h/7 days | Allows you to choose the hours of operation of the camera, for each day, over a 1-week period. The selected start and stop times will determine the times during which the camera will be on and take pictures. For a 24-hour operation, the start and stop times should both be 00:00 or 12:00. NOTE: You can adjust the hour format to 12 or 24 hours. Refer to the "Time Format" option. |
TRIGGER SPEED Optimal/fast | Allows you to choose the trigger speed of the image sensor. The "optimal" trigger speed provides better image quality but may cause you to miss a fast-moving subject. On the other hand, a fast trigger speed ensures that the fast-moving subject will be photographed, but the picture may be of poorer quality. |
PHOTO QUALITY High/normal | Allows you to determine the quality of the photos saved on your microSD card. High quality: 20 MP (6,144 X 3,456) or normal quality: 2 MP (1,920 X 1,080). |
CELLULAR MODE Activated/not activated | Allows you to activate or deactivate the cellular mode. Note that this setting will only take effect the next time the camera makes a transfer. |
RESET TO DEFAULT SETTINGS Activated/not activated | Allows you to reset the camera to its original state. |
Different tools are available to help you check the status of your LM2 and to inform you of any problems that may occur during its operation. In this section, we will see 3 tools:
The camera was designed to send notifications to your SPYPOINT app. This is to help you stay informed of the status of your camera.
You will receive a notification on your smartphone at the next transfer when a photo is received or important notification is sent:
Here are the different indicators of the LM2 status you have access to. They are accessible on your app or on the SPYPOINT website. What appears in this page is a reflection of the camera at the last communication.
SIGNAL Strength of the cellular signal | 1 - 5 bars |
BATTERY Charge level | 0 - 100% (LIT-10/12 V) |
MEMORY CARD Used space | 0 - 100% |
LAST COMMUNICATION The date and time of the last device transfer | Date and time |
TEMPERATURE | °C or °F |
MODEL | LM2 |
VERSION Displays the software version | VX.XX.XX |
LAST INSTALLATION Last time your camera was turned ON | Date and time |
SIM Number on your SIM card | 89...... |
ACTIVATION CODE | XXXX-XXX-XXXX |
Those two lights are another tool giving you clues on your camera status. The following table shows you what these lights indicate when the camera starts up and during normal operations. The fact that they are flashing or fixed, and their different colors are significant.
