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.
7. Rising sun or sunset can trigger sensor. Camera must be reoriented.
8. 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.
5.2 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. 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.
5.3 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 or Lithium 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;
