with a K and solar you have two options , run it empty or use rechargeable D cells. the current two panels are designed for 4D cameras.
I am trying to find better antennas to use. The link level distance is not as strong or as far as it was advertised.
you cant do as you describe, the other output(yellow) is for use with the dual power bank-. you can add a second battery to the 3600 or the pw-003 sun shade panel is larger and has two batteries and it works in the shade or sun.
I assumed that would be the case. I was just hoping to find a way to upgrade the 3600s to be more like an 003. I figured if I picked up a couple PW003s that I could move the existing 3600s to other cameras to get similar low light performance or increase redundancy. I also have some existing 12v panel-batteries and wanted to make use of them.
you can add a second battery to the inside of the 3600, this is your best option to get then thruany cloudy or high draw periods
Below is the picture of the system. I have ran them for the past 2 years and only seem to have issues early fall due to the leaf cover is what I am assuming. The red camera is the home camera, location is not centralized due to cell coverage. I struggle with getting good link level between them all. When the system is up and working great there is nothing else on the market that can compete with it. Truly I guess it comes down to me just needing to buy more camera and just placing them in spots to make the system run smoother. I will take all the help I can get. Thank you!
Placing the home unit at the highest possible spot can help a bunch, . Sometimes that means turning the camera function off because you have it 20ft up a tree or in another spot it wont take pictures. You waste a camera in that instance, but it can make it work better , or you can buy a new cell home and Sell your current unit. The Cell home is less $ but doesnt have a camera in it. High humidity and leaf cover can restrict the distance as can any terrain features that block the signal. Also getting the cameras off trees and on a post mount or t post can also increase range. I would also make sure your channel is very random, this helps speed it up as well. It appears a couple cameras are under qtr mile and others are over or at that distance. What are your link levels?
The home camera is a cell/home camera. I believe it is a G series. And I am going to try a random rf channel. If I were to get the antennas farther up the tree would this help any? Links levels run all under 30 all the way down to below 10.
