how do the solar panels work on the cuddlink? In the timber? I don't put cams in the timber much but when I do I really don't want to have to go back in there....

They are coming out with a smart charger that has alkaline and rechargeable so it will switch to alkaline if it’s not charged allowing it to charge.

Hey Guys,
I got my K cam plus 7 J cams an d I'm running into a couple issues... they don't seem to be described in the manuals at all...
1) K Cam Dual cell- I have everything set to run the cam as a stand alone camera. everything seems good to go.. then I go to arm the camera to test to see if it is taking pictures. I select arm as I would on any other camera. it counts down for 30 to 0 and then the screen says locked for a few seconds and then flashes "CELL TX" and does that for 5-7 minutes before it will let me go back into the setting or turn the camera off. It does not take any pictures while it does this... I emailed cuddeback, yet to receive a reply
2) Firmware update: Downloaded the firmware update and copied the folder to a blank SD card as instructed. I eject the card, stick it in the cams (tried multiple times in different cameras and used different chips) I go to update firmware and it says "check SD".
Any help would be greatly appreciated

If it’s the $200 version it will not work without a plan and activation

I had the same issue with the firmware. I have the 0607 version which unless I misunderstood the website is the latest version. So I'm not sure if that why it said check SD

So unless you activate a cell plan it wont function as a normal stand-alone t cam?

Correct, it won’t do anything without activation and a plan

At $10/month and not using 12 months a year the $200 is a no brainer. Why have a cell cam to use as a non cell? Rumor is they may unlock them after 1 year

Its a little more pricier than that ... im pretty sure with 8 cams i could easily go over 750 and even 2000 images

Okay $15 or $20 and if you use it 4-5 months it’s still worth it. Point is you’re paying for cell service regardless. Why buy a cell cam to use as a regular camera?

Depends on how many cams you’re running linked but the 2000 pic plan with overage checked is far more than needed. The pic count is an estimate also as I get more

Then just use the 3 j cameras and designate 1 as home. The other 2 will send pics to it and u can just check 1

Ya that was my next thought. I have 7 J cams, I'm going with the 2k pics with overage checked for now. Thanks for the help!
