Put Batteries in , cards ( formatted cards ) , SIM cards , let them initialize, Got the App , created account/ paid for service…. Cams are taking pics but not sending them ? ( I can manually check cards and see pics ) …. Any ideas? I’m gonna call em tomorrow but didn’t know if y’all had any advice

Did you pay for the Premium Service per camera e.g. $3 per camera per month? If yes, assume you registered them and received a 5 digit code when setting them up? Did you set them to transmit?

Always format the cards in the camera by the way. Ask me how I know.

Their tech folks are pretty good, if you can get one of them on the phone.

Do I have to receive status report so often ?

What do you mean?

It sends a status report notification before every 3 rd pic ? Seems like that would eat batteries?

I had the exact same experience as you (had to order new SD card, status reports, etc.), and yes the status report will drain the batteries very fast.

Go into your App from your phone, click on Settings in the bottom right corner, then tap Notifications, then slide "Status Report" to Off

My cams sent status reports once a day (very small text file btw). You don't need to do that to pull the pics, just swipe down. Like refresh.

Been on Spartans for 7 years. Solid product.

Thanks …. These cameras were a purchase made by a great friend ( outta my league ) but they are nice
