3. Troubleshooting
3.1 The camera does not take photos/record video when
motion is detected
17. Check the PIR sensor for damage and ensure that it is not obstructed by a leaf, for
example.
18. Test the camera in spaces where there are not hot surfaces. The PIR sensor detects
motion based on the temperature difference; if the surroundings of the camera are
overheated, the sensor will not be activated.
19. In some cases, the water surface may activate the PIR sensor; in that case, turn the
camera away from the water.
20. Adjust the camera so that it does not point directly at the ground.
21. Install the camera so that it does not move and ensure that there are no large moving
objects in front of it, such as a large tree.
22. At night the device can detect movement outside of the IR night illumination range, so
there may be no moving objects captured in the photos.
23. Sunset or sunrise may activate the recording – change the position of the camera.
24. If the animal/person in front of the camera is moving fast, the camera may not detect
them – move the camera away from, for example, the path where animals walk.
3.2 The camera does not take any photos
9. Make sure that there is free space on the inserted SD card. If you turn off the function
of overwriting old files, the device will no longer take photos/record videos after the SD
card is full.
10. Make sure that the alkaline AA batteries have enough power to operate the camera
trap.
11. Make sure that the switch is in the “ON” position and not in the “OFF” position.
12. Before using the device for the first time, format the card to the FAT32 format in your
computer.
