TROUBLESHOOTING / FAQ : BASIC CAMERA FUNCTIONS
Camera takes continuous images of no subject
A camera has what is known as a "false trigger" if the PIR sensor thinks that
there is motion and heat in front of the camera lens when there is no subject
in the image. These "False Triggers" are the result of placing the camera in an
environment where there is motion associated with tree branches creating
motion in front of the camera or an area where there is high heat in the
foreground and any motion from wind could set off the camera. Setting
a camera up over water is also a potential cause for this issue. To remedy
this situation:
1. Try moving the camera to an area that does not have any of these issues
or try changing the sensor level on the menu settings.
2. If the camera continues to take images when there is no subject in them,
try placing the camera in an inside environment and aiming at a location
where there is no motion.
3. If the camera continues to show issues, then there is probably an
electronic component issue. If this is the case, please contact our
customer service to send the camera back for repair.
Battery life is shorter than expected
1. Battery life will vary with operating temperature and the number of
images taken over time. Typically, the WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD will
be able to capture several thousand images before the batteries die.
2. Check to make sure you have used new alkaline or lithium batteries.
Bushnell recommends using a full set of 12 Energizer
batteries in your WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD model to obtain maximum
battery life.
3. Make sure that the power switch was turned to the "On" position and
that the camera was not left in "Setup" mode while in the field.
4. Make sure that you are using a good quality name brand SD card in
your camera. Bushnell recommends SanDisk
32GB (Class 6 or higher for HD video). Our experience indicates that poor
quality SD cards can sometimes reduce your WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD
battery life.
5. See pg. 30 regarding the use of "Wake" mode vs "Eco" mode. The default
Eco mode extends battery life.
