Troubleshooting

6.1 Photos Do Not Capture Subject of Interest
1. Check the “Sensor Level” (PIR sensitivity) parameter setting. For warm environmental
conditions, set the Sensor Level to “High” and for cold weather use, set the sensor to
“Low”.
2. Try to set up your camera in an area where no heat sources are in the camera’s eld
of view.
3. In some cases, setting the camera near water will make the camera take images with
no subject in them (because of reections). Try to aim the camera towards the ground.
4. Try to set the camera on stable and secure objects (i.e.: large trees).
5. Try to avoid setting the camera up on small trees that are prone to be moved by
strong winds.
6. Remove any limbs, which are right in front of the camera lens.
7. At night, the motion detector may detect beyond the range of the IR illumination.
Reduce the distance setting by adjusting sensor sensitivity.
8. The sunrise or sunset can trigger the sensor. The camera must be reoriented.
9. If person/animal moves quickly, it may move out of the camera’s eld of view before
photo is taken. Move the camera further back or redirect the camera.
6.2 Camera Stops Taking Images or Won’t Take Images
1. Please make sure that the SD card is not full. If the card is full, the camera will stop
taking images. Or the user can turn on Cycle Recording (Loop Recording) to avoid
such a problem.
2. Check batteries to make sure that alkaline or NiMH AA batteries have enough
power for the camera to work.
3. Make sure that the camera power switch is in the “On” position and not in the
“Off” or “Setup” modes.
