Cuddelink L series Q & A

[West_Fork]

I spent part of day resetting some cameras and updating what I could to the new firmware. Not sure what happened, I downloaded the update to a SD card and started working my way through a few cameras. I was shocked when I realized I was flashing cdy_l_1_7_0. I was confident I had downloaded the latest right before I left the house. I saw that all of the cameras already had cdy_l_1_7_0. I know some were a few updates behind.
Are OTA updates now working? Seems like some of mine updated on their own to the latest GEN2.

I now have the latest and will be back next week to do the Gen3 updates. The Gen3 caught me off guard when I went up the mtn last weekend and suddenly my app changed and I was ham strung without good service.

you wont get over the air updates until gen 3 is installed , the exception is tracks stand alone cell cameras already get over the air updates. There likely wont be any over the air updates pushed until after hunting season

Does the L series cell home do OTA updates before Gen3? Seems like it is, I thought mine was on 8 and now its showing 10, but then again it looks like my memory isn't real great.

My cell home is the one I cannot do right now because I am crippled and its way high up in a tree. I am going to have to recruit someone young.

L homes did but you need ot do the first gen 3 update manually- all cameras need to be on gen 3 for them to work together so dont update your remotes until you can also do the home unit, current gen 3 firmware is 3.1 on L series and 9.1 on J,G, K

If we're on 9.0 and 3.0, will we get OTA updates? What time line does that happen on? Is a G series home capable of pushing L series firmware to L series remotes?

G series or K homes will need to be updated manually one more time later this year in order for OTA updates to work,(this is all in the notes on the website) and after that G will be able to update L remotes.
L series on 3.0 will not need another update for OTA to work -
Updates take a few hours depending on what the network size is , im not sure when they will push updates out but likely not during hunting season.

Recently updated my L cameras and cell home to 3.1. I cannot get to the "command" line now. How do I fix this

You have turn on advanced menu from the app. The ones I had on advanced menu before flashing stayed that way after flashing gen3.

your in the new simple user interface which new firmware switches your cameras to , you can switch back to the old interface by powering down the camera, then pressing and holding the more button down before powering it back up , it will then que you to confirm the old interface. You can make any changes not available on the simple user interface in the app.

When I download the Gen3 updates for my G and L series cameras, can I put them on the same SD card, or do I have to use 1 card per type of camera?

you can put both on the same card, i'd load at least two cards with it, since at times, cards can be finicky

I think I read something about this earlier, but issues with the new app?

So far:

Names do not stick, renamed cameras three times. Now try CAMP.
Pause only works on some cameras, will not stick, while using the app and after saving.

The sheep are driving me nuts.

disabling camera would work but its not instant - naming also should work - pm me your log in email

John, any plans to add a share (Android) button to Camp? Occasionally, I'd like to text/email an image without having to screenshot it.

Camp will eventually sync with the app so i assume at that point you will be able to use both

Sorry, I didn't mean CAMP. I meant the app. Will there be a share picture button coming to the Android version ?

I was able to rename a pause cameras from the CAMP last night. PM coming.

I don't want to share all the pictures with some people. Just a random one here and there. The share button is good for that.

Just learned that the Sun and Shade Solar Panel is not compatible with the dual power banks. Can I use alkaline batteries in one or both banks of the dual bank or am I just out of luck? Out of curiosity, what is the difference between the yellow connector(missing on the big solar panel) and the brown connector on the smaller panel?
