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, camera will stop taking
images. Or user can turn on Cycle Recording to avoid such problem.
2) Check batteries to make sure that alkaline, or NiMH AA batteries left power is enough for
camera to work.
3) Make sure that the camera power switch is in the “On” position and not in the “Off” or “Setup”
modes.
4) When GPRS function is on, there will be around 1 minute interval for camera to send out
photo before camera shooting the next photo. Turn off the GPRS, camera can shoot photos
continuously.
5) Please format the SD card with camera before using or when camera stops taking images.
6.3 Night Vision Flash Range Doesn’t Meet Expectation
1) 4pcs AA batteries is not able to support camera night vision ability; please install 8 pcs AA
batteries;
2) Please check to make sure that batteries are fully charged or left power is enough;
3) “Max Range” offers better IR flash range. Given IR flash range values are based on Max
Range setting; so please adjust Night Mode to Max Range for better night vision flash range;
4) High-quality 1.5V 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;
5) To ensure accuracy and quality of night time image, please mount camera to dark
environment without any obvious light sources;
6) A certain surroundings (like trees, walls, ground, etc.) within flash range can get you better
night time images; please do not aim camera to total open field where there is nothing within
IR flash range to reflect flash back; it’s like shinning a flashlight into sky in night, you just
can’t see anything; same does camera.
6.4 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 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.
