Practical help

Common problems

Camera takes continuous images of no subject (false triggers)

Move the camera to an area without heat sources or wind-blown branches, or adjust the sensor level in the menu.

Battery life is shorter than expected

Use new lithium AA batteries, avoid the 0.6s interval setting, and ensure the camera is not left in SETUP mode.

Camera stops taking images

Check if the SD card is full, ensure it is not write-protected (locked), or format the card using the SETUP menu.

Night photos/videos appear too dark

Ensure batteries are full, subject is within the ideal flash range (up to 100ft/30m), and LED Control is set to High.

Before use

  • Install 6 new AA lithium or alkaline batteries.
  • Insert a high-quality SD card (up to 32GB, Class 6 or faster).
  • Ensure the SD card write-protect switch is in the OFF position.
  • Set the date and time in the SETUP menu.
  • Test the sensing angle and distance in SETUP mode before final mounting.
