Night Vision Flash Range Does Not Meet Expectation 
 
1. Check to make sure that batteries are fully charged, or left power is 
enough. 
 
2. “Max Range” offers better IR flash range. Given IR flash range values 
are based on Max Range setting, so adjust “Night Mode” to Max Range 
for better night vision flash range. 
 
3. High-quality 1.2V NiMH rechargeable AA batteries can also offer much 
better IR flash range; alkaline batteries cannot deliver enough amperage 
to power the illuminator consistently at night. 
 
4. To ensure accuracy and quality of nighttime image, mount camera to 
dark environment without any obvious light sources. 
 
5. Certain surroundings (like trees, walls, ground, etc.) within flash range 
can get you better nighttime images. Do not aim camera to total open 
field where there is nothing within IR flash range to reflect flash back. It is 
like shinning a flashlight into sky in night, you just can’t see anything, 
same does camera. 
 
 
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 set the sensor for “Low”. 
 
2. Try to set your camera up in an area where there is not a heat source 
in the camera’s line of sight. 
 
3. In some cases, set the camera near water will make the camera take 
images with no subject in them. Try aiming the camera over ground. 
 
4. Try to avoid setting the camera up on small trees that are prone to 
being moved by strong winds. 
 
5. Remove any limbs which are right in front of the camera lens.
