I've been having bad luck with the new exodus app and firmware on my cams. One of my renders updated (but has the multi-year battery issues) but two others and a lift are giving me fits. I've been trouble shooting the one working cam at home and stumbled on some possible causes of my battery issues.
Cam one I deployed two weeks ago and as happens all the time, the battery went dead in a day (also connected to and sp18). I cam back the next week, put new new batteries in and then went about doing other work in the swamp and when I came back 30 or40 minutes later to the cam, I see this blue flashing led (video #1).
Took the cam home and have been testing and noticed sometimes the external power supply bugging out. (video #2) and also a strange ticking noise (video #3) Recording that video I noticed the IR flash is visible on the phone, so I tested the other two Renders and found one of them where ir array keeps flashing constantly (video #4).
Getting through to support has been bad the past two weeks, which is a real drag since I'm SOL on all my cams. I do expect exodus to resolve it, but don't expect to have any cams out this season. Certainly not by opener, which is about a month away.
