PS. Attached is a shot from noon today.
PPS. Camera currently looks out at an angle through a double glazed window[1], which doesn’t help the ‘flare’…
[1] Yeh. I know it’s an outdoor camera, but I don’t trust IPX4 with our weather so it will be getting a box of some sort before it really goes outside… 
Thanks for the feedback. Had me scratching my head for a while when you said you had it pointing south and the sun crossed your field of view - then the penny dropped - you’re in the northern hemisphere #-o. It’s the opposite down under of course. Your case is probably worse than mine as I only see the early morning sun before it fairly rapidly swings around to the north - in pre Copernicus speak of course :).
Luckily I don’t have to worry about the cold end of the spectrum where I am as my temp doesn’t fall below 5 deg C, but it does get up to 40 odd in summer. I note that the max temp rating is 50 deg C, so it will be close to the limit in mid summer. You definitely don’t want the sun shining on it midday!
Just wondering if this is really the case in that you don’t have any options between 1 min and 1 hour - like every 10 minutes? Looking at the instructions setting the upload (Image Buffer Freq) - it would be set at 1 hour and 6 images to get you an image every 10 minutes or 1 hour and 20 images if wanted something every 5 mintues and so on…or am I reading this wrong? I like the camera - but frequency and bandwidth is an issue right now…
Thanks!
Any word on if the CMOS sensor on this camera will burn if exposed to direct sunlight… Thanks!
The sun has been tracking across the field of view of mine for nearly 3 months now. The noon sun is still less than half way up the field of view. There are of course often clouds about (certainly the case today!) but on other days the sun has been in full view right across the observed angle (taking about 4 hours from side to side).
I’m sure the sun would be stronger in other places and at other times, and my camera also happens to be behind a window, but I’ve not observed any deterioration here so far.
Thanks - we both hang in two different forums - here and Metoehub! Mine would only be in the summer afternoons and sunset times as it will face NW and also would be behind some glass! Thanks!

I have now had a chance to try this and you are correct, it does work that way, my original post was wrong.
What a strange way they have of describing things!
My initial reading was the same as your’s niko. After AMAFlyer’s post I took another look (but didn’t do a test) and still thought it was as you wrote, assuming that the role of the “buffer” was either for recent “history” or maybe as a guard against if a particular upload hadn’t finished before the next snap was due.
Well spotted AMAFlyer!
Doubly confirmed. I’m now uploading direct from the BL-C140 at 5 minute intervals.
The settings to achieve that are:
Image Buffer Frequency
Every 1hr, buffer 12 images.
Strange, but true. :roll:
Thanks for confirming 
- mine just arrived last Friday although it will still be several weeks before I can get it up and running - this will be used at a remote solar powered location!
The whole buffer thing is actually pretty cool, it appears to queue the images (up to a limit) until it gets a good connection to upload.
Finally got my C140 up and running… I built a little wood enclosure with a 2" overhang over the front/sides and the entire back is covered/protected - but it can still get wet on the front from a driving rain/snow storm but should be fine…we are in a pretty dry climate in Denver… Here is a recent shot from this morning - setting is 640x480 favoring clarity…
The site is our RC Model Airpark and is completely run by wireless internet service and the whole station is run off of a solar power!
Looking good!
Link to the above station and camera - 100% solar powered!
Nice colors and good definition. Great camera shot too!

The problem is that I have to put it in enclosure.
The electrical box I`ve purchased is small and doesnt fit, bigger box is way too big…
Is it a good rain protection the photo shelter ?
Any other idea?
No? so, done it this way(photo), the only problem is the bracket, its not stable , its gonna be changed…
Camera have to go lower, but with this bracket its not possible(it has steps but the lower step shows more land/houses).
Lovely natural colours and very little image distortion at the edges. A nice clean shot! Does it blur the image on windy days?
Thanks, when I saw the distortion, I believed it was camera`s problem, but a friend told me that its usual…
About the blur, didnt noticed yet.
Positive is the good quality of the picture(for that money) and the power plug which is driven by the same cat5(image+ac power),
instead , negative is the very poor image at night…
I just had a look at the nighttime shot and it looked great - the light on the houses in the near foreground was good and clear and I do not see distortion - it looks very straight and true to me!! Well done! A nice camera.
