Troubleshooting FAQ

The photos do not capture subject of interest
– Check the PIR sensitivity parameter setting. In warm environmental conditions, set the sensor sensitivity to “High” and in cold weather use, set the sensor sensitivity to “Low”.
– Try to set your camera up in an area where no heat sources are in the camera’s field of view.
– In some cases, setting the camera near water will make it take images with no subject in them. Try aiming the camera over ground.
– Avoid setting the camera up on small trees that are prone to move in strong winds.
Try to set the camera on stable and immovable objects, i.e. large trees.
– Remove any tree branches which are right in front of the camera lens.
– At night, the PIR sensor may detect beyond the range of the infrared flash. Reduce the detection distance by adjusting the PIR sensor sensitivity.
– Rising sun or sunset can trigger the PIR sensor. The camera must be reoriented.
– If a subject moves quickly, it may move out of the camera’s field of view before the photo has been taken. Move the camera further back or redirect it.
Battery life is shorter than expected
– Battery life will vary with operating temperature and the number of images taken over time. Typically, the camera will be able to capture several thousand images before the batteries die.
– Check to make sure you have used new batteries.
– Make sure that the power switch was in the ON position and not in the TEST position.
The camera stops taking images/videos or won’t take images/videos
– Make sure the SD card is not full. If the memory card is full, the camera will stop taking photos/videos. To avoid such problem, check that the “Cycle recording” feature in activated (ON).
– Check the batteries to make sure that there is enough power left for the camera to work.
– Make sure the camera power switch is in the “ON” position and not in the “OFF” or “TEST” position.
– Please format the SD card with the camera before using it (especially if the card has been used in other devices) or when the camera stops taking images/videos.
– Please make sure that the write-protect switch on the side of the SD card is not in the LOCK position.
The camera won’t power up
– Make sure the batteries are installed correctly (follow polarity indicated in the battery compartment).
– After moving the switch from OFF to TEST or ON, make sure the switch is in the correct position to ensure the proper mode.
– Do not move the switch directly from ON to TEST, always move the switch all the way to OFF first, then back to TEST.

Still photo and/or video quality problems
– Night photos or videos appear too dark
– Check the battery level icon to see if battery power is full. The flash will stop operating near the end of battery life.
– You will get the best results when the subject is within ideal flash range, no farther than 20m.
– Please note that when the multi-shot parameter is set to 2 o 3 photos or when the PIR interval is very short, some images may appear darker than others due to the quick response and rapid re-triggering of the camera, allowing less time for the flash to fully recharge before firing again.
– Night photos or videos appear too bright
– Subjects may appear too bright at closer distances.
– Daytime photos or videos appear too dark
– Make sure the camera is not aimed at the sun or other light sources during the day.
– Daytime photos or videos appear too bright
– Make sure the camera is not aimed at the sun or other light sources during the day.
– Photos with streaked subject
– In some cases with low lighting conditions and fast moving objects, the 8MP, 12MP or 16MP resolution settings may not perform as well as the 5MP setting.
– If you have multiple images where fast moving subjects produce streaks, try using the 5MP setting.
– Short video clips – Not recording to the video length set
– Check to make sure the SD card is not full.
– Make sure the camera has batteries with good level of charge in it. Near the end of the battery life, the camera may choose to record shorter video clips to conserve power.
The night vision flash range doesn’t meet expectations
– Please check to make sure the batteries are fully charged or have enough power left.
– To ensure accuracy and quality of the night time images, please mount the camera in a dark environment without any obvious light sources.
– Certain surroundings (like trees, walls, ground, etc.) within flash range can get you better night time images. Please do not aim the camera to total open field where there is nothing within the IR flash range to reflect the flash back.
The date/time stamp is not appearing on the photos
– Make sure the time stamp parameter is set to “Time & date” or “Date”.

The PIR sensor indicator light flashes/doesn’t flash
– When the camera is in the TEST mode, a red indicator light on the front of the camera flashes when the PIR sensor detects motion. This is for setup purposes only and will help you aim the camera.
– During use, the indicator light doesn’t flash when the PIR sensor detects motion. This helps keep the camera discreet.
The camera doesn’t retain settings
– Make sure you have been saving the changes to any parameter settings that you made while in TEST mode, by pressing OK after changing the setting.
Moisture or ants inside the camera
– To ensure humidity or rain is kept out of the camera, secure the DC port rubber plug firmly in place.
– Ants can be attracted by low level electronic vibrations, and enter through any gaps between the exterior and interior of the camera. Make sure the DC port rubber plug is firmly in place.
