How does blinkx work

Can I switch the SD card in the middle of a time lapse schedule? Yes, the SD card is "hot swappable". If an interval occurs when the SD card is out of the GoPro, BlinkX will continue the shooting schedule by triggering the camera to turn on and off, however, no image will be taken since there is no SD card to save the image to. How do I change BlinkX's shooting schedule in the middle of a project?

BlinkX's WiFi only remains active for 15 minutes to program the new settings before the WiFi is automatically turned off to conserve power. If the camera is not easily accessible, we offer a Wired Remote that can be attached to BlinkX's 2.

What can I connect to the circular jacks on my BlinkX? Please connect only CamDo-approved accessories to these jacks unless you are experienced. Do not connect other equipment, especially voltage sources such as your solar panel or battery, to these jacks.

Doing so could damage your BlinkX or camera. Please read our series of blog posts to understand how to connect custom hardware or interface a microcontroller such as an Arduino or Raspberry Pi. Does BlinkX work with your Battery Eliminators? BlinkX does not require a Battery Eliminator and it is not compatible with our Battery Eliminators which are for earlier generation cameras.

What does BlinkX weigh? BlinkX weighs 19g. My Account. Postage and packaging. This item will post to Germany , but the seller hasn't specified postage options. Contact the seller - opens in a new window or tab and request a postage method to your location.

BlinkX is typically used with our Outdoor Enclosures to also house extra batteries and come with two power options, a 9Watt solar panel , or without a solar panel that is normally used for shorter deployments when you can return regularly to recharge the batteries.

The Outdoor Enclosures have space to fit up to two of our V44 44watt-hour battery packs. How long will the battery last if I shoot some number of photos per hour? Calculating battery life is non-trivial. It depends on the camera model, firmware version, SD card speed, lighting conditions, battery size, age of the battery, ambient temperature, and more.

To help you understand the issues and to calculate estimated battery life, consult the Camera Power Consumption Study and our Time Lapse Calculator. If I know approximately how long my project is, how do I determine the ideal interval between triggers? The ideal shooting interval is normally determined by the length of the final time lapse video clip, capacity of the SD card or battery capacity available. Our Time Lapse Calculator can be used to help determine the ideal interval between photos as determined by these variables.

Why is "Always On" mode for batteries important? Since BlinkX turns the camera off between triggers to conserve power, Always On mode is important to prevent the battery from automatically turning off due to periods of inactivity. Most of the USB battery packs on the market have an automatic power saving feature which turns off the battery if the battery is not constantly supplying power to a device.

If the GoPro is turned off for more than a few minutes between triggers, the external battery might automatically shutdown due to inactivity. The Always On mode prevents the battery from automatically turning off when insufficient current is being drawn due to the camera being turned off by BlinkX to conserve power.

Does BlinkX retain the shooting schedule when power is removed or lost? When all power is removed, BlinkX will retain the programmed shooting schedule as well as the clock time and date settings. If there is no activity for 5 minutes, WiFi will automatically turn off to save power. If prompted for a password, the default password to connect is: You will be presented with the following interface. Modify a schedule to suit your capture requirements. In this example, we will create a schedule to take an image every 5 minutes, Monday through Friday, 8am till 5pm.

Once any schedules have been modified, be sure to click the ' Enable Schedule' button for each new schedule. A quick way to tell if a schedule is enabled is by the dark blue colour of the drop-down box. The alarm clock icon will also have a tick in the middle of it. Click ' Save All'.
