Received this camera as a replacement for a Flex S in late December 2025 Charged it for 24hr then installed it in the field. The camera is paired with a SPLB-22 Lithium solar panel as well as a LIT-22 Lithium battery. The camera and the solar panel get full sun all day. With the SPLB-22 panel this camera should almost run forever as according to the information about the panel states that this panel will run the camera unless it is discharged and the the internal batteries will then run the camera. Unfortunately the internal solar battery will fully discharge within about 7 days. The camera averages 2 pictures a day. I have retrieved the camera half a dozen times and recharged it the results are the same every time as the internal solar battery goes dead in about 7 days. On the status display on the app it shows the 12 Volt panel in use which should mean it is powering the camera and the internal batteries should not be in use or drawing any power. I had a Flex-S running the same solar panel and battery setup fail in a similar manner immediately after updating the firmware??? I also have another Flex-S with the same setup running the factory original firmware and it has been running flawlessly for over a year
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love being able to take instant photos, camera quality is good as well. Solar is nice, if you get good exposure. If not getting good sun (where I live sunlight isn't plentiful in winter at least), it seems to really kill the backup batteries fast. I was hoping the regular batteries would hold up just as long as the original Flex camera, but that seems to not be the case.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello there, thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We’re happy to hear you’re enjoying the instant photo feature and our overall camera quality. Solar performance can depend greatly on sunlight exposure, and during seasons or in locations with limited sun, the camera may rely more on the backup batteries. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience.
