Camera configurator
Tune the camera for your application.
Battery life is determined by battery size, the number of wake-ups/uploads per day and the cost of the wakeups. Solar power extends battery life, possibly indefinitely, depending on position. The configurator gives indicative lifetimes depending on your scenario.
