Search on my phone app?

I've never had an issue getting an HD picture with my app, although it take a few hours sometimes. I do know this, my lithium AA batteries that didn't last but about a month last year are lasting much longer now for some reason. I changed out the first batch after 34 days and when I checked them with a volt meter they read the same as new ones (over 1.7volts). I just changed out the second set after 45 days and they read 1.62volts. I was going to get a external battery set up, glad I didn't now.

Time on batteries, especially with the cellular camera, it’s usually irrelevant. Most of the battery power is spent transmitting pictures, so number of pictures is key not time.

If you’re doing a stationary set up like over a feeder with your camera, an external battery is the way to go. Get yourself something big like a 42 ah 6 V battery on that sucker and it will last a long time without needing to be charged. Put a good solar panel on the battery and conceivably it’ll last forever.

Mine is going on 2 years without touching it and I get a few hundred pictures a day. My external set up has paid for itself many times over.

No problem. I do beta testing for them and I try to help out folks when I see them having issues.

I knew that's how the app has always worked but didn't know that was by design. It's annoying. Lol

It’s not that way by design, it’s just the way the iPhone version is working. The android version of the app will notify and download pics w/o having to open the app.

Now I'm no longer getting my pictures via email. I don't know what the heck is going on.

I just logged back on to the Spartan website and it now shows that both cameras have the 08/02/2017 FW. So I guess they updated last night sometime. I requested a HD picture about 10 minutes ago and never got it though. Maybe it will start working soon.

Ok, after further investigation I found that one of my cameras did not have the email recipient box checked for some reason. I checked that box so hopefully my emailed pictures will start working again. Otherwise I have to click on the app to know if there are new pictures. Fingers crossed that the HD request starts working again though.

Understood. Just saying I'm probably getting about same amount of pics as last year I would guess

There has been something going on where some users are having the email recipient(s) become unchecked. Keep an eye on it to see if it happens again. It’s been investigated to try and replicate the problem.

As for notifications, on your phone open up settings and then notifications. Scroll down to “Spartan” and turn on notifications and edit how you would like them to work. That way if the email thing goes south again you’ll know it.

Trying to find a number to call them on but not having any luck. I'm sure I'm overlooking it somewhere but it sure is hiding from me.
