The best choice of battery depends on your individual needs. Typically, we
recommend alkaline batteries with the highest milliampere hour (mAh) rating
possible. mAh is a measurement of how much power a battery contains, whereas the
volt (V) measurement is a measure of how much of that power it will release at a time.
All AA batteries are around 1.5V, regardless of their mAh rating. If you're planning
to keep using the OutbackCam on a regular basis, then rechargeable batteries will
prove the most economical choice in the long term.
If the batteries in the OutbackCam are nearly exhausted, the IR LEDs won't be as bright -
this can lead to capturing dark (or completely black) images at night.
How do I know my OutbackCam won't be stolen?
The short answer: That's just the chance you take.
The longer answer: Sure, you (and we) can't guarantee that someone with light
fingers won't find the camera and pilfer it - but there are some things you can do to
minimise the chances of this happening. Here are some suggestions.
• Mount the OutbackCam somewhere out of sight, or at least somewhere which
isn't obvious. People can't take what they don't know is there.
• Make use of the padlock clasp, and use as sturdy a padlock as will fit. Locks are
great deterrents.
• If you're really need to secure the OutbackCam, then you can consider using a
security lock and chain, like those typically employed as bicycle locks. If the chain
is too thick to fit through the padlock socket, try attaching it to the padlock itself.
How many images/videos can I fit on my SD card?
Short answer: Depends how big your SD card is.
Long answer: Individual 15 second video recordings range from between 15 to
30MB a piece, depending on the complexity of the images and the speed of motion
within the scene. So, for arguments sake (and for ease of math) we'll say that the
"average" size of a video is 25MB. Thus, 40 videos will make 1GB. So, if you exploit the
maximum capacity of the OutbackCam and use a 32GB card, you'll be able to store
1200 or more video recordings. That's one recording per hour for 53 days!
Still images at high quality are typically require about a megabyte (500KB) and at low
quality approximately half that amount (500KB). Which means you'll get a little over
30, 000 images to our aforementioned 32GB SD card (assuming it's not already full of
video, of course). Which is one picture every ten minutes for about 7 months. If that's
not enough, then try low quality pictures - you'll get somewhere in the vicinity of 60,
000 pictures on the card.
What are the best kind of batteries to use?
Always replace the batteries regularly!
