I take it you, as do I, use G-0 (or new L Home) . Yeah, without a camera, that info not available.

I have a question about "motion sense" under the advanced camera settings. When I set it to any level using the app or the camp it will showing pending for sometime, but once it goes current I check the settings and motion sense is back to "optimal."
Why does it not seem to me that the motion sense settings are sticking and it defaults back to optimal?

they are working on adding it to camp but its not in there completely yet , you should be able to change it on the app or the camera. it should be fully functional on both Camp and the app soon.
I misspoke when I said camp. When I do it in the app, it shows the pending change, but once it updates it still shows "optimal" under "motiion sense" instead of the level I selected. It may be changing, but I dont see it reflected in the photos either.

ill know more monday but it may be turned off while they are working to add that command to camp, there are several more remote command features in the works and they sometimes have to disable some while working on others.
Hey, if they can make it make coffee, that would be great.
I will look forward to the update.

Cuddeback offers 22 choices of cellphone carriers. I went down the list trying the set-up with each one for a day. After awhile he called me says he's getting pics. The one that's working shows as xxx-xxx-xxxx@mypixmessages.com. So, I don't know which network that is. So, went through the list again trying each one, and it's XFinity that uses that messaging thingie. Like, you select XFinity, but then the list of text addresses shows the mypix thing. So his Walmart phone is on XFinity.
He is really enjoying the pics. Right now it's only one camera on my only game patch. Deer and turkey every single day, and this week our first ever bear sighting. Life is good. As soon as I can get over there again I'll be adding 3 remotes and a couple solar panels.

I have an older K that wasn't being used for two years. Put new batteries into it and activated the cell data plan. I am getting an Error 03 message, which I understand to be related to power management. I tried three sets of brand new batteries, as well as a fully charged solar charger and still am getting the Error 03 message. I have cleared the internal battery between each step.
Any other recommendations before contacting support for servicing, @john volkman et al?

if you let the screen completely die , didnt use energizer batteries, and it still gave you that error multiple times it may not be fixable,Thats is a power error and the board might be done. they can move your plan to another cell unit but they wont be able to do that until tuesday.

Yes, Rayovacs. I think I'll have to have it serviced. Thanks John!

L series uses a different firmware but will link with 8.3 right out of the box. There is a update for the L on the website , it improves daytime color images but not a requirement to use with your cams on 8.3.

"BATTERY LEVEL: EXTERNAL LOW" I"ve been running my G 5109 for a year and the 5064 has been deployed occasionally. Last weekend I set up both with new PW-3600 panels. The report on the remote 5064 says "external low". Does that mean the rechargeable battery on the solar panel is low? and I can expect it to come up after a few sunny days? and, if this indicator is for the power panel, is there any way to see the condition of the 4 Ds in the camera?

Curious to see Johns answer. I have several cameras that have been showing the PW-3600 "external low", but they continue to work.
Did you let them fully charge before installing them?
I have a couple running off of homebrew solar batteries, which are not working well and they go dead with just one cloudy day. I have yet to get a report saying they are low; they go from ok to dead and then back to ok once the sun hits it. Not a single issue with my PW3600s, even the ones that are often shaded.

I have some that show this after a few cloudy days and a bunch of photos taken. Otherwise, I think they recharge and go back to "OK"

not an exact time - but if you set it on the camera it will be based closely on the time you set it - if you set it online it can likely be within a couple hours or less.
john volkman

correct. the internal solar battery is low, it should charge and switch to ext ok once it gets some sun. Its a good idea to set it out a day or two before deploying . There isnt a way to check your internal remotely.

I didn't charge them ahead of time. I didn't open the box till I was way hey out in the woods, then I saw the instructions it might need charging if it's been stored awhile. But it will be months before I make another trip, so I put it up in hopes that it would catch up. We're getting those first brilliant clear fall days this week. I hope that's enough.
