Lotsa Fun
Pretty easy to set up and install on my pole feeder. Easy refill. The small solar panel keeps the device charged, even with a series of near-zero, cloudy, days. (be sure the plug is VERY firmly inserted for the solar panel (or wall charger) to operate properly) It's right on the edge of my router range, so sometimes I get videos and most times not. I don't mind, since the small number of stills I get from each non-video capture are much easier than having to try to use a video editor to grab frames. Someday I'll upgrade my router. Until then, this thing is great. Also, the resolution upgrade that was recently pushed out really gives you sharp images. Friends enjoy my shares.
