iPhone
Although the library catalog lists one camera model for iPhones, there are actually two in circulation: Generation 2 and Generation 3. The iPhone camera compatibilities are virtually interchangeable and most are Generation 3. If you need the Generation 2 iPhone camera to attach to a 5 or 5s, contact energyactionfairfax@fairfaxcounty.gov.
- Generation 2 – compatible with SE, 7, 7 Plus, 6, 6 Plus, 5, 5s, iPad, and iPad Mini
- Generation 3 – compatible with SE, 7, 7 Plus, 6, 6 Plus, iPad, and iPad Mini
Android
Although the library catalog lists one camera model for Androids, there are actually two in circulation: Generation 2 and Generation 3. Generation 2 cameras require a micro-USB connection, while Generation 3 cameras require a USB-C connection. However, adapters are provided in each case that should make every camera compatible with both USB-C and micro-USB connections. If you need to exchange one camera model for another, contact energyactionfairfax@fairfaxcounty.gov.
