Troubleshooting

The photos do not capture subject

  • Try to place the device in an area where no heat sources are in the camera’s field of view.
  • In some cases, if the camera is near a body of water, it will take photos without any subject. Try pointing the camera toward the earth.
  • Avoid placing the device on a fragile tree which may move in the event of strong wind.
  • Remove the branches that are in front of the camera lens.
  • Sunrise or sunset can trigger the PIR sensor. The device must be reoriented.
  • If an animal or person is moving quickly, he or she may move out of the camera’s field of view before the photo is taken. Move the device back or reorient it.

The camera stops taking images/videos or won’t take image/videos

  • Check that the memory card is not full. If the card is full, the device may stop taking photos/videos.
  • Check the battery status of the solar panel and make sure there is enough power left to operate the device.
  • Make sure that the device selector is in the ON position and not in the OFF position.
  • Format the memory card with the device before using it or when the device stops taking photos/videos.
