I would say you have the batch or CC Rate set to 5. This sets the number images needed to before transmission. I don’t think image size has any bearing on the transmit frequency. All transmissions are thumbnails.
Cuddelink general Q&A recommendations
- Thread starter john volkman
- Start date
In Solo mode, you can transmit high res pictures. But, I also do not think that is the issue. May be Time-Lapse related. Time Lapse may may override the hourly setting. Ill check if he attaches picture.
Thanks for the response. So the batch or CC Rate is different from whatever it's called where you have it set to send every hour or how many hours you want them sent? Will get to the manual later this week but thought I'd ask here first.
I have it set at 1mp for the pictures. Picture coming shortly

The manual doesn't address the issue Tamarack is asking about. Why doesn't anyone believe JoeS?I do, but I've never had a stand-alone on anything other than Batch 1 so I can't verify.
I apologize if I missed the issue discussed somewhere. Did real a LOT of that Yuge thread but this just came up for me recently.
It says 225kb on my pic there though..hmmm. That does remind me of something that bugs me. Get the 2000 picture plan and it fills up after less than 250 pictures. I realize it goes by file size but something isn't adding up especially if it's 225kb. Still waiting for a response from them on that.
Looked up a daytime one..still only 267kb.

Oops..completely missed your post. Sorry! And thank you.
Missed this one too. I'll banish myself from here for a month.
Attached the picture...and yep, just the Dual Cell at the moment.
The little “yearling.... with promise” tag next to my name must give people the impression I know nothing about the system even though I have 51 cuddelink units. Not saying I know everything there is to know, just not a novice at this point.The manual doesn't address the issue Tamarack is asking about. Why doesn't anyone believe JoeS?
Dang! And here I am waiting for a sale on just a few to add to mine. Few hundred if I win the lottery.
51!! Wow, am I jealous. You definitely should have seen it all by now. I only ran solo very briefly when it first arrived. I do not remember mine doing that, but I cannot remember my name sometimes either lol. So I'm going with you Joe.
Here is your Metadata. Only thing to add aside JoeS post, is you battery voltage is low.

Thanks. Yeah I got the warnings for that. Moved the cam to avoid the snow blowing into and blocking it. Now things are blocking the sun(have a solar panel for it). Plan to put some regular Rayovac D's in it for the last month or so I have it out. Put it back out late summer.

if you are running a dual cell in solo mode and have your image size anything larger than "small" you will not get the ave amount of images sent on a plan unless its unlimited. The dual cell has a max amount of data it can hold in que to be sent so when it hits that level it sends it. When running it at 1 mp that is about 5 images. If you move your image size to "small" it will wait until it hits 20 if you have you batch set that way and you also will have a much harder time filling up your data allowance.
Thanks for the info. But even if each picture were sent individually the 2000 picture plan should cover much more than 250 pictures...?? But that is another thing I asked them and waiting a response on...maybe you know the answer- how many pictures then can one expect to be able to get with the unlimitted if 1mp pictures?
I would have loved to switch it to "small" but was two hours away. Can't wait for the new update to be able to do that.
They should at least be a little more specific, or transparent, about what to expect with each plan- on their website etc. Even 1000 1mp pictures is quite a slash from 2000. I can't even get 250.....

i copied and pasted below from the cuddeback website, it details exactly what the data amounts translate to and i think its very transparent. The factor that is unknown is how many images are daytime or nighttime and if they are black and white or color as that can effect the data per image used.
* Each image is estimated to use about 50KB of data. Data is allocated in megabytes (MB). Most users will get more images than stated, but it is possible to get fewer. 750 image plan is allocated 40MB, 2000 image plan is allocated 100MB.
* Unlimited data does not apply to Sole Mode. Solo Mode is enabled when the cell camera is not part of the CuddeLink network. With Solo Mode you can send small, medium or full size images with sizes from approximately 50KB (small) to 1MB (full). Unlimited data plan is allocated 2GB which is 2000 full size images or 40,000 small images.
Yes, I've seen that. It even says "each image is estimated to use about 50KB of data". Telling people that would be the "small" pictures would be transparent. Then give an estimate for the 1mp and 5mp. "Most users will get more images than stated". Again, only with the "small".
My pictures all look to be well under 300kb each. Day and night.

And what is the middle one, in kb? And how many pictures should one expect in the 2000 and 750 plan? Having that information, and outside of the "* Unlimited data does not..." would also be helpful, and transparent. I didn't even bother reading that since I had no interest in the unlimited plan at the time.
Still trying to figure out why one wouldn't get more than 237 pictures of 1MP pictures in the 2000 picture plan though.
Edit: I thought it was "small", 1MP, and then 5MP(Full)?? Too late for this number crunching. Have a good night and thanks for the help so far.
Edit2:..That wasn't to you, Fred. Was to John...seems his post is gone.
