Hey Jake I have the same setup. I'm going on two years with the same rechargeable batteries and solar panels. I did get the cable so I was able to connect my k camera to a 12 volt deep cycle. The k camera was going dead in about 30 days. The solar panels are a game changer.
Can you explain to me what mode 1 and mode 2? I may have mine set up incorrectly. 4 total cameras all of them have solar panels. 2/4 cameras shows it is not connected to external battery. Great video
In the cam setup he chooses whatever the back is…so if it’s a 12AA cam, then chooses that. If it’s a 4D cam, then chooses that. With the 12AA back, he needs to use either no batteries in the camera or rechargeable batteries in the camera. With the 4D back, he needs to use alkaline batteries in the camera or no batteries in the camera.
Good news sir! The only downside I found is when they get covered up with snow in the great White north they usually can’t keep up. Up here it is best to pull them after the new year and put them back out in April if you so choose.
guys I got a question... do anybody use a solar panel on a strictly home receiver unit ? the only function is to record pics only .. maybe they don't use mush battery power for let say 5 remote cameras ? does anybody have a answer for me.. Thanks
It is possible. You have to decide if it's a secure area as the solar panel does draw a bit of attention. You don't want your cell cam in a place where it's easily stolen. All Cuddelink cams use lots of battery so you need the solar or the power bank option.

Happy to do it! That’s what this channel is all about.

Set to battery out. I think it’s gray. Not the yellow one from what I remember.
You need to set the camera voltage to 4d because the voltage in the battery panel is only 9v.
Here’s the feedback from the VP of Cuddeback on battery settings when using a solar panel. Hope it helps!

So how long does it last?
I run cameras all year on full solar with no batteries in the camera.
@@HabitatProLLC nice.
I know someone who has a PW-3600 panel on a camera they haven't touched since October 4th, 2019...
