Frequently Asked Questions
How much data do I need per month on my SIM plan?
For example 5GB per month would generally be enough for approximately 1 photo per 15 mins, 10 hours per day, 5 days per week at full resolution upload. Our Time Lapse Calculator can be used to help determine the ideal interval between photos as determined by the variables important to your project and the resultant data requirements.
Is there a video for the UpBlink setup process?
Below is a full setup video for UpBlink with our outdoor enclosures. You can also view other helpful instructional videos in the “Support” section.
Is an internet connection required to use UpBlink?
Internet is required to support CloudX features, including the upload of footage for remote viewing on the CloudX server. However, programming schedules to capture footage does not require the internet. UpBlink's capture schedules are programmed via a local WiFi Access Point using a smartphone or computer.
How does UpBlink connect to the internet?
UpBlink can receive the internet signal from a modem such as on this page, a 2.4GHz WiFi network or from a "USB Ethernet device" connected to the USB-A port of UpBlink. You just select the type of device or wifi connection information into the Upload Schedule in the UpBlink web UI.
If using a USB modem such as on this page, plug the compatible modem into the USB-A port of UpBlink (see below) and select "Internet via USB" in the UpBlink web UI.
How is the USB modem powered?
UpBlink can control power to the modem via the USB-A port incorporated, therefore only turning on the modem when upload is scheduled to conserve power. A USB modem with an internal battery should not be powered from UpBlink's port since the modem's battery will only charge when an upload schedule is active. We have some suggested modems listed here but generally any 3G or 4G USB stick hotspot that creates a wifi network or presents as an ethernet device will work.
Can UpBlink connect to the internet from an Ethernet cable?
UpBlink does not have an Ethernet port to directly connect the cable. However, a USB to Ethernet adapter can be used to provide an internet signal from an Ethernet cable via UpBlink's USB port.
Does someone require a subscription to use the file upload feature (in addition to unit purchase?)
Yes, CloudX Pro.
What is the benefit to buying UpBlink?
UpBlink with CloudX Pro provides status email notifications + image upload. Images can be viewed through the CloudX Pro web portal.
