Swift Enduro 4.0PCG-R
A 4G camera trap that uploads photos over FTPS and sends a daily health report. For the hardware itself, see the product page.
Where to buy
Four Australian shops sell it, at around 490 AUD.
- Outdoor Cameras Australia, Toowoomba
- After Dark Surveillance, Adelaide
- Western Trapping Supplies
- Raneye Systems
Make sure you get the Swift Enduro 4G. The same shops also sell a plain Swift Enduro without 4G, and that one cannot upload anything, so it does not work here.
Setup
Register the camera in Camera Management with its IMEI as the Camera ID, then point it at your server with the standard FTPS settings.
This camera writes no serial number into the EXIF data. It puts the IMEI in the filename instead, as a 15 digit number, and that is what the system reads. Both filename styles work, with or without the camera name in front.
The same IMEI is on the IMEI line of the daily report, so one registered Camera ID covers both.
What it sends
- Photos as JPEG, with GPS and the timestamp in the EXIF data. Both are required. A photo missing either one is rejected. It shows up as a rejected file on that camera in the Cameras page, and on the
File managementpage, which server admins can reach from the hamburger menu. - A daily report with signal strength, temperature, battery percentage, SD card usage, GPS, images taken and images sent. These fill the camera health page.
The report carries an extra CamID field that the Willfine reports do not have. It is often empty, and nothing depends on it. The camera is always matched on the IMEI.
