The main difference between Stick Up Cam Battery, Stick Up Cam Plug-In, Stick Up Cam Solar and Stick Up Cam Elite is how they receive power.

Stick Up Cam Battery is powered by the Quick-Release Battery Pack. You can also purchase the Indoor/Outdoor Power Adapter (sold separately) to connect Stick Up Cam Battery to standard outlets for nonstop power. Or you can connect it to a Solar Panel (sold separately) to keep your camera charged with direct sunlight.

Stick Up Cam Plug-In is powered by an AC adapter that plugs into standard power outlets. You can also purchase a Quick-Release Battery Pack (sold separately) for backup power.

Stick Up Cam Solar comes with a Solar Panel as well as a Quick-Release Battery Pack. The Solar Panel requires direct sunlight to keep your device charged. But with the Quick-Release Battery Pack, your camera will have backup power in case you don’t have enough sunlight.

Stick Up Cam Elite uses Power over Ethernet for nonstop power and a reliable connection. It comes with a PoE Adapter that must be placed indoors and plugged into your router in order to power up and connect your Stick Up Cam to the internet.

Another difference between the Stick Up Cams is the mounting bracket. Stick Up Cam Battery, Stick Up Cam Plug-In and Stick Up Cam Solar can be placed on flat surfaces or mounted to a wall, but you will need to purchase a Mount for Stick Up Cam (sold separately) if you’d like to install them on your ceiling or eaves. Stick Up Cam Elite, however, comes with a mounting bracket that lets you place it on walls, ceilings and flat surfaces like a table or shelf without the need to purchase any additional accessories.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides a more reliable and consistent power andconnection to your Stick Up Cam Elite. With PoE, you’ll never have to worry about charging a battery, and it connects to your router via an ethernet cable so you neverhave to worry about Wi-Fi dead spots or wireless interference. It’s our most reliableway to keep your device powered and connected to the internet.

Yes. Just be sure to enable the “Rotate Video” feature in the app while setting up yourStick Up Cam Elite to align your camera to the upside-down position.

Stick Up Cam is weather-resistant and can go anywhere indoors or out. However, thePoE adapter is not weather-resistant and must be placed indoors and connected to arouter for power and internet.
