Troubleshooting

The camera is not taking pictures or is only taking pictures some of the
time.
1. Connect the controller to the camera and and look at the camera status window.
This shows the camera's battery status and SD capacity remaining. Replace
batteries if needed. Empty, format, or replace SD card if needed.
2. If the custom mode was used to set up the camera, make sure both day and
night settings have been set for the menu items that allow this.
3. Ensure the hours of operation are set to 24hr.
4. Try a different SD card. A faulty SD card will cause either the controller or the
camera to not function properly. See our web site for a list of approved SD card
models. It is possible for an approved SD card model to fail. Try reformatting the
SD card as well, using the controller setup menu. Format SD card is at the bottom
of this menu.
5. Try new batteries. It is possible (though unlikely) for new batteries to be faulty.

The controller does not recognize the camera when the USB cable is
plugged in.

2. If the batteries are not fresh, replace the batteries.
3. Verify that all batteries are installed in the correct orientation. The flat,
negative end of the batteries should all be placed against the coil spring side in
4. the battery cartridge.
5. Verify that all batteries are of the same type.
6. Be sure the battery cartridge is completely installed and the latch is snapped
into place. The bottom door should be securely closed to ensure good contact.
My pictures are foggy.
1. Check to make sure the sun is not shining directly into the camera lens. Realign
as needed.

the controller to the camera and select the "View Camera" icon to activate
