Covert Wireless. If it’s a cellular service issue you may need to purchase a booster antenna from Covert Scouting Cameras to help boost the signal. These can be very effective in boosting the signal to your camera in a poor signal area.
Cannot access the SET-UP menu: Reasons for issue: 1) SD card not inserted 2) SD card is corrupted 3) Batteries are low Suggestions to remedy 1) Install new SD card 2) Replace batteries Tricks and Tips on Field Setup: • For best results, mount the camera approximately 3 feet off the ground facing straight forward, as level as possible.
• Use the Covert Tree60 mounting system to mount the camera up higher pointing down on them for a better look. Works great when you don’t have a straight tree to attach to.
