After 30 seconds, the camera is armed and ready to take pictures. The camera will arm itself in 90 seconds with no activity and in the camera menu.
CAMERA CARE: Moisture, vibration, and extreme temperature can cause severe damage to your trail camera and should be avoided. Keeping your camera free from moisture and vibration and using in the correct temperatures will assure you many years of maintenance free service and operation. MOISTURE: Although the Pro-Cam trail camera has a very durable waterproof membrane inside the molded ABS material shell, care must be taken to prevent water damage.

This will help determine whether the problem is the SDHC card or the camera. We do NOT recommend using cards that have been used in cameras from different manufactures and/or different styles of cameras unless a Full Format on a PC is done to those cards.
