A LOOK AT THE NEW LIONEL THEATER CAR

Alex,

I was curious how you managed to remove the glare from the interior light (looks like you applied tape to the glass?). I like the camera but the glare and reflection of the interior diminishes the view, any suggestions? thanks

Hi Brian, 

 The car i had was the prototype which i didn't do anything to, If i remember correctly i shut off the interior lighting while i was videoing. I didn't add anything to the glass.

I removed the plexiglass and the reflexion from a light disappear also the two verticle "smears", I have not tackled the bar across the bottom which remains.  The camera gets it power I believe from the metal sheet running the length of the car, I did not try to adjust the camera upward yet.  Seems to me that it would have been an easy design fix to not have 20% of the bottom of the screen unavailable because of the camera angle.

Alex,  There is one thing I have not figured out.  How do I save/download recordings and snapshots to my camera roll?  When in recordings tab I see download arrows at the top of the page but I was unable to initiate download (the camera was off line at the time).

thanks!

Please, WHAT ICON????????????? This is driving me nuts!!

Obviously, someone has figured this out because there are videos posted on YouTube. I spent more than two hours messing with this and still can figure it out. The manual is worthless when it comes to play-back and downloading videos.

Someone, please. How in the heck do you do this?

Taking videos and pictures isn’t difficult as you mentioned but I can’t figure out how to share them.

Ok hopefully this helps this is only for Apple iPhone, I have no experience with android, and haven’t messed with the computer program much. The manual and app have much to be desired but it’s functional. What I have been doing is holding down on said video clip then a menu comes up with a “share” option. Here is a short clip, like I said hope this helps. 

I'd never heard of theater cars before.  They look like modern day versions of observation cars that allow a lot of people to look out the back window.  Are they used nationwide now?

They are  modified passenger cars to allow railroad officials and guests, often shipping customers, to view the railroad, or inspect track.  They run on office car, executive trains. Norfolk Southern, CSX, Union Pacific, and I believe BNSF all have versions of this car.

Thanks this was helpful.   Will it let you send your videos and photos in text messages.   I’m getting error messages when I try to do so.   

Canadian National has theater type cars.

Thank you! How in the heck was a fat gray haired old man supposed to figure that out???? I'm a Microsoft guy. I find 99% of Apple product operations to be completely counter intuitive...

I did have issues trying this at the train show today. Might for one make sure your not still connected to the Car WiFi. If that doesn’t help, might have to save the clip to your phone then send it as a text.

So I’ve been able to share a photo via text but no such luck with video 

My buddy Kanawha got this thing figured out.

Wrong assumption #1 on my part, I was trying to treat this thing like a digital camera. What I assumed was that pictures/videos were stored on internal memory in the car. They are not. The images recorded are saved to your smart phone.

Here's a cut/paste of Kanawha's email:
