8.1 Photos Do Not Capture Subject of Interest

1. Check the "Sensor Level" (PIR sensitivity) parameter setting. For warm environmental
conditions, set the Sensor Level to "High" and for cold weather use, set the sensor
for "Low".
2. Try to set your camera up in an area where no heat resources are in the camera's
field of view.
3. In some cases, set the camera near water will make the camera take images with no
subject in them. Try to aim the camera over ground.
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.

taking images. Or user can turn on Cycle Recording to avoid such problem.

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. Please format the SD card with camera before using or when camera stops taking
images.
