Dual power bank allows you to run 12 alkaline batteries in two banks or 1 bank rechargeable and the other alkaline . Dpb would give you the longest possible battery life without going to the camera . The new solar bank is just a solar panel with internal rechargeables and can be used on its own plugged directly into a camera or used as the solar charging panel for the dpb
I would love to have both if it’s an option.
scheduled for around feb 1st as of now but that can change a bit.
its not an app but basically does the same thing. you log into your cell management page/camp site and can change everything on your page. Very simple and fast. you can do it with your phone or computer. apps are not very stable and downtime is common. our current format on the site is very stable and as of yet we have had zero down time.
yes you could do that, but considering the cost of rechargeable D's and the 6 d pack you may be better off buying the new solar bank and selling your other one or switching the 4 d cell j back to AA and using the old panel. Im sure there are a bunch of guys on here with AA battery packs laying around they arent using.Soooo - hearing the old solar panels cannot be used with the 4x D-cell J-1521's...
(6v vs 9v)
Can the 4x D-cell back be swapped for the 6x D-cell #3495 J series replacement back?
Thus allowing use of the old solar panels?
I am a little bit confused with this, exactly which Gen 2 features will we be able to use with a "Home Plus 1385" ? If I understood the previous explanations, the remote features MUST be accessed via the website and a cell enabled camera set to "Home". A current 1385 is not cell enabled and will ONLY be useful as a repeater in this situation. Maybe you were referring to the previously available "Cell Home"?
I think this topic ran a little off point, If I’m not mistaken it originated with a future feature request about remotely commanding any given camera to select a specific image it had already taken. While I’m not a programmer nor do I have the source code I’ll bet heavily that the technology and capability to do this is already there in the existing hardware. To understand why I say this we only need to examine the known facts. 1. The owner obviously already received the thumbnail and knows which camera sent the image and which pic it was so Camera ID and Picture ID are known facts. 2. If the Gen 2 remote functions can drill through menus and change settings on any specific camera, it will be no more difficult to access a folder and select a known image. 3. To transmit a thumbnail the full resolution image that was initially captured and saved to the SD card must first be downscaled to the thumbnail size. That takes more processing power than not doing so. 4. If any single camera can send hundreds of thumbnails in a run-away situation like we know they can, then it should also handle a high resolution image sent over a similar timeframe and data rate. The programming to do this is not likely to be that hard; however, with all things bigger it will obviously come with a cost. That cost would be tying up the whole network during transfer of a single hi res image, and … increased power consumption by every unit involved in transferring that image. Conclusions, would this be a valuable option to users? Personally I say that’s a resounding YES even though I may never get an image that I deem worthy of the costs. On the other hand, we already know some users will definitely welcome such a capability and find the costs most worth it.
That’s a good idea. I have always though if you wanted high res pics it would have to send all pictures in high res, but if you could pick and choose which pics you want sent in high res, that would be great. I found myself going in to pull cards on 4 different occasions because I couldn’t tell if the new bucks that showed up on my property were shooters or not. I had one deer with a split brows and a double main beam and through the low res I couldn’t tell if it was motion blur or what was going on.
yes that is what i was referring to. Gen 2 is only useful for the most part when you re running a cellular home unit. i must have missed the part where you asked about the SD home unit(what it is now called)
i asked the engineers about this the first go around. It would require a huge amount of effort and cost to accomplish it if it was possible to do without compromising the system to a point that was unacceptable to the majority of users. And although im sure some would welcome the ability to do so, it would further complicate the system/menu options and most likely throw more wrenches into a system that already challenges the average consumer. If you knew the volume and time currently spent from both an engineering standpoint and a customer service standpoint to get the system to work for the vast majority of users you would understand that this type of challenge currently isnt worth the effort or the issues it would cause to the system. ONe day of answering the consumer line phones at cuddeback would convince you of this!
As Mr Volkman stated above, the 3495 can be installed on the 1521's but I'm not sure if the 4D pack can be installed on the J1415's & J1422's
all the J series battery packs are interchangeable , eventually we will have the 4 d pack for sale as an accessory but it will be a while before that happens.
Maybe I missed it but how are the J cameras with 4 D batteries supposed to be better than the J's that have 6 D battery pack?
running the 4 d pack with a 6 d booster allows the camera to recognize the differences in voltage and thus you see status on the report and know which pack is in use and the battery level. When running the AA pack or a 6 d pack with a booster the voltage is the same on all so the camera runs all the batteries at the same time.
