Cameras Worked Flawlessly, now have stopped or intermentent
I have three cameras that all worked flawlessly for most of the Summer and early Fall. Now two of them have either stopped for periods of time or only send every now and then.
I have checked my credits, data plan, have P5 on the pictures, 3 bars of signal strength and all have current firmware. Battery is an external battery on solar panel and is at 5.7V.
One camera is a ATTxb and the other is an ATTI. I have another camera at the property these are located that seems to be working properly. This camera is an ATTxb, but has 5 bars signal strength.
When these cams do send pictures the numbers are indicating gaps, so the cam is taking pictures just not sending them all.
Anything I can do remotely to kick these things back to working full time for me?

If the firmware and everything is up to date then I would say either it's a signal problem or possibly something with the solar setup. Do you notice any pattern to the pictures being sent time wise? If you would like to email me your portal log in information I can take a look for you. My email address is johnny.lockburner@spartancamera.com

I'm running ScanDisk 32G cards, not sure the exact model, but they are high end for DSLR photography, really fast cards. They have worked great up until about a month ago or a little longer.
I sent you an email or two.
No pattern to when the pictures were sent that I have picked up on.
Solar set up has worked great, I have the voltage regulated down to 5.7V, maybe I need to crank it up to 5.9V, I don't want to get to 6V and burn the cameras up...
Right now one of the cameras is not even connecting, so it has to be a signal issue, I'll be back in January and will move the cameras to see if I can get a better signal. Will also try a better antennae to see if that helps as well.
