6. Trouble Shooting
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 for
"Low".
2. Try to set your camera up in an area where no heat resources are in the camera's
field of view.
3. In some cases, set the camera near water will make the camera take images with no
subject in them. Try to aim the camera over ground.
4. Try to set camera on stable and immovable objects, i.e.: large trees.
5. At night, motion detector may detect beyond range of the IR illumination. Reduce
distance setting by adjusting sensor sensitivity.
6. Rising sun or sunset can trigger sensor. Camera must be reoriented.
7. If person/animal moves quickly, it may move out of the camera's field of view before
photo is taken. Move camera further back or redirect 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, camera will stop taking
images. Or user can turn on Cycle Recording to avoid such problem.
2. Check batteries to make sure that alkaline, NiMH or lithium 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 "Test" modes.
4. 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. 6 or 12 pcs AA batteries;
2. Please check to make sure that batteries are fully charged or left power is enough;
3. To ensure accuracy and quality of night time image, please mount camera to dark
environment without any obvious light sources;
4. 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;
