I had a previous thread asking opinions of my setup. There were many good and valid points for me to consider. As such, I did a pretty intense study/experiment of my setup and I wanted to list the reasons WHY I like what I have going. The amazon link to the battery power bank I’m using is here. The…

Yea, the 12.6vdc input power pack also has built in overcharge and overvoltage protection. It also has a red light that turns green when the battery pack is fully charged. The company sells a 2a power pack on amazon, it’s a little pricey at $15, but it’s designed the same with the red/green light ma…

ssummerlin; just an FYI. I went ahead and bout the talentcell 12.6/2A charger for my 2 camera setup to use with the 3000mah backup UPS I posted earlier. Definitely a good purchase. With the existing 12.6/500ma charger wall wart, it definitely could charge the batteries and operate the single camera,…

[image] afacademydad: 12.6v/2A power pack Thanks for the update. That was an option in my list. Now it will be a personal requirement. I need this configuration for one of my backyard cams. Both of my frontyard cams are on UPS already.

cool. I am very happy with the setup now. Instant battery backup. Instant backup without any camera reset. Tonight, when I get home, I will be doing a quasi test to see how long the backup lasts. I’ll pull the power and let the cameras roll. I might even put them on continuous record just to see. Le…

I am quite satisfied with the setup. It’s been a few days and it’s working perfectly as I wanted. I have one in the house running a camera in the house and a 2nd camera with a window mount aimed at the back porch. That’s the one I use the 2 amp power adapter for. The other Talentcell 3000ma backup I…

[image] afacademydad: Works great. Great news. I was wondering how your final tests worked out. You convinced me. I plan to buy one for the v3 cam in my kitchen window looking out into the backyard and pool deck. I believe the 3,000 mAh should be all I need. Did you get a chance to see h…

I did do a time test, but it was taking too long. (That’s a good thing). After an hour and a half, it still had 4 bars. And that’s with 2 cameras connected. (Motion only, not continuous recording). So I figured, with 2 cameras, it will last at minimum around 6-8 hours. With one camera, closer to 10.…

[image] afacademydad: So for me, the 6-8-10 hours is more than enough. Personally, I think with one camera, it will last 10 hours easily. That is great news. Thanks for your testing and insight.
