Putt Putt -- Thanks for the advice on the soldering. Will make life much easier when the second EZ-B kit arrives later this week!

What about replacing the existing battery with your own more reliable power source? You could simply cut out the small battery the camera comes with and replace it with 3 AA eneloops or something.

Just run it off of the EZ-B

There's nothing wrong with the battery, please read the whole thread.

Yeah so after like 20 mins of playing around my camera also locked up. LED light is stuck on. Is there anyway to fix it other then letting it drain all its power?

It is comforting when you search for something and find others had similar issues (thus I am not alone) but I do waffle between starting a new post and continuing an old one. Anyhow

I can confirm that the wireless camera from the kit will "lock up" into a quasi on state when the voltage drops to low... not enough power to run the camera OR the "shutoff" circuit. @Putt_Putt and @bean341 assuming you still need an answer, I think you have a couple of solutions:

A) Like @Choyster suggested... a more reliable battery source might allow enough "end" voltage to shut down properly, and still give you full wireless (albeit a bit more bulky).

B) Solder (with tinning of course) a micro-switch to one of the battery leads (a momentary disconnect button switch would work), giving you a physical shutoff thus allowing a full recharge right away.

Hope this confirmation and idea helps someone out there

@Gunner,

Thanks, when I started this thread I thought there was some problem with the camera, I discovered that it's just the nature of the beast and I use and do what it wants.
