5stars…if you are diligent
Bought multiple of these cameras for our ranch, and use the app for remote monitoring. The most frustrating thing early in the learning curve is understanding that you have to keep the batteries charged…I mean, really charged! Early on, I was using the most expensive batteries, Everready lithium, and taking a single picture, not video, every 15 seconds. Some cameras, this did fine for two or three weeks. Other cameras with more activity, such as deer that fed all night, my camera would shut down within a week. Unfortunately, the last picture would often transmit with one or two bars of battery life, and make me wonder why all of a sudden the “cameras” would die?!? It was actually the batteries. I have learned that a better choice is to use rechargeable batteries, hi baby and solar chargers. Both are even more expensive than Everready lithium, but it is the best way to keep the cameras from shutting down. The solar chargers breakdown, sometimes in only six months to a year, but even when they do the rechargeable batteries can be taken home and recharged. I keep two full sets, and trade out the old ones every two to 6 weeks, depending on whether the solar charger is working at that particular camera or not.
