How many would you recommend, I am thinking just the one but I could be completely wrong here? My questions might indicate my complete blank about the use of this product. I know that you plug the camera, mount, roof and computer into it but that is all I know or think I know. |
I used a cat5 cable to my router to set the wifi up 1st time, after that its wifi operation. I have 2 so I can reset everything seperately, its worth it (eg, I can turn off the rotator for a week to image one object without the stupid time consuming homeing routine everytime it powers up) and seperate outputs for dew heaters etc.. It has a built in web interface, so you can address it directly via yr router rather than the obs PC. The web interface is very easy to use and intuative and has powerful auto timing on-off features. Theres also a seperate simple desktop app just to turn stuff on and off.
Really, once its set up, its a no brainer to use. Instructions are provided for set up, its not hard. Its just a remotely controlable power board for anything with a 240v plug.
