Haven't installed this GoLive 3 yet (102 degrees today) but I have 3 GoLive 1's that have been performing flawlessly the past 2 years on Mike's solar power packs. I don't even put any batteries in them, they run entirely on the solar pack...being 3 hours away from them makes it handy. I just wish Spartan would make a camera on a turret or one like the Stealth Revolver (BTW Stealth Revolver sucks-got 1 will not buy another) with a spinning camera head. Called Spartan and they don't seem to be interested.
