Odin is now 4G connected!

Now Odin can roam anywhere with a 4G connection

We’re excited to announce that Odin can now be connected to the world via 4G! 


This makes Odin free to be placed anywhere in the wilderness, and you'll still be able to enjoy your daily update emails to keep track of your project. Wherever you are, you can connect to your preferred mobile / cell network. Any 4G network. Remember, not all networks have equal coverage, so being able to choose the carrier with the best signal is vital for good communication.


This is an incredibly useful addition to the system, and a feature many potential owners have been waiting for! It also removes the previous restriction of having to place the camera near a local Wi-Fi network in order to receive your daily status updates. 


How does Odin do this? - Odin simply adds a 4G LTE dongle to its system to connect to the internet via the mobile / cell network and send its update to the user once a day. 



It’s very easy to set up - All you have to do is, purchase a pay-as-go Sim card, or subscribe to a monthly mobile mobile plan, then set up your 4G dongle. Once the 4G dongle is set up on your network, simply tell Odin to connect to that wifi network, and you’re done! 


You will not use more than 200mb / month for the email updates, so a low-cost sim card plan will be perfectly adequate. Also, no monthly subscription fees from Chronosys either! 


In the UK, you can use all the major networks with the unlocked 4G dongle that we supply:


  • O2
  • Vodafone 
  • Three
  • EE
  • You can also use “virtual networks”, like GiffGaff, Tesco, Utility Warehouse, Lebara etc


The 4G Dongle in situ


Our 4G dongle should work fine in Europe as it uses popular 4G bands (bands B1, B3, B5). You can also check if our dongle will work in your country by checking on this Frequency Checker website . If our dongle is not compatible with your country, simply buy a dongle that IS compatible from any online retailer. Just check with us to make sure it'll be compatible with Odin before you buy anything!


In keeping with our low-cost, open, modular philosophy behind the Odin, if you don’t want to buy a dongle from us, you are free to use your own dongle. Again, check with us first to make sure it will be suitable with Odin. 


See you in the Wild!

With so many different lenses out there, which one do you go for?
By Chronosys May 13, 2022
Oh, imagine all the possibilities!... Uniquely, Odin allows you to replace the supplied lens filter with any 67mm filter you want to use. Simply unscrew the old lens and then screw in your preferred lens, or combination of lenses, as desired. Include into the mix the ability to control the Odin's ISO and shutter speed and you have some very creative possibilities available to you. Possibilities that would normally only be the remit of much more expensive, high-end, digital cameras. One bit of advice from us is, if you intend to use your Odin for long-term, outside, projects we would recommend you check the supplied O-ring is in place and that it is fully firmly sealed against your new lens. Failure to check this seal might cause water to ingress into the camera and hamper your filming. We have several O-ring sizes available if you ever need a larger, or smaller, O-ring. Please do not use nitrile O-rings as these will perish and fail. The below lens guide is taken www.exposureguide.com . All rights reserved. Lens filters are transparent or translucent glass elements that attach to the front of a lens. They protect the camera lens, alter the characteristics of light passing through the lens or add special effects and colours to an image.
