Troubleshooting 

 

1.  The LED Light head does not move. 

This may occur when an event causes the head to move out of alignment or obstructs the movement of the light head. 

Remedy:

  Turn the mains power off for about 10 seconds and then turn back on. The light should go through its set 

up routine and adjust the head for proper operation.  

2.  The Night Watcher has stopped recording to the SD Card 

Remedy:

 The date needs to be set correctly for the Night Watcher to record. If there has been a prolonged power 

outage, the date may need to be reset. Check the LED beside the camera lens. It should be GREEN when it is 
recording.  If it is RED press the reset button on top of the unit. If it remains RED check that the SD card is installed 
correctly. 

3.  There are no recorded files on the SD card 

The SD card may have been removed incorrectly and the files may be corrupted, or the SD card may be in the wrong 
format. Remedy: Format the SD card (FAT format for SD and FAT32 format for SDHC). 

4.    The computer is unable to open the files on the micro SD card 

You may need to update your computer’s drivers for your card reader, or use a USB card reader. 

5.  The camera LED indicator is flashing red or staying red. 

This may occur when a power failure occurs during recording.  This may be caused by either of 3 issues:
