False Triggers
If you seem to be getting false triggers (i.e. the camera is taking pictures of nothing);
first put your camera back to the default settings and try your camera again. This will
ensure that you are running with known settings.
If the camera continues to false trigger, check the physical setup of your camera. The
sun should not be shining directly on the face of the camera and t
he camera’s field of
view should be cleared of vegetation. False triggers most often occur on sunny,
breezy days. Vegetation will soak up the sun’s energy and become warmer than the
ambient air temperature. When the wind moves the vegetation, the camera senses
this as motion. Careful placement of your camera helps prevent false triggers.
Only as a last resort should you turn down your camera’s motion sensitivity. This
reduces the ability to detect motion, especially during the summer.
Camera Not Triggering Consistently
First, put the camera back to Default settings and try your camera again. This will
ensure that you are running with known settings
– it will set the motion detector ON at
HIGH sensitivity. This is important, especially in the warmer months, because as the
background temperature approaches the temperature of the subject, the strength of
the signal decreases and the range goes down accordingly.
If you are still having trouble, please refer to the “Mounting and Aiming Your Camera”
section for detailed information, as well as using the WalkTest mode
It is important to keep in mind that there are other factors that can also affect the
ability of your camera to detect motion. Wind can have a detrimental effect. Body
heat can be quickly dispersed away on a breezy day, making it more difficult for the
camera to detect motion. Also, movement directly toward and away from the camera
is less likely to trigger the camera than side-to-side movement. And, finally, if the
subject is moving very slowly, it will sometimes not produce a strong enough signal
within the sensor to trigger the camera.
