Why can’t my computer read the SD card?
Any SD cards above 2G are called SDHC (High Capacity) card. Some old computers cannot read SDHC card directly.
Why is my change to the parameter not saved?
Make sure that you have pressed ok to save the changes that you make during the menu setup of the camera. If you forget to press ok to save these settings the camera will revert back to the default settings.

After you exchanged the SD cards and later on checked them on your computer you may have forgotten where those pictures were taken. The Serial No. parameter setting takes care of this issue. You can use the combination of 4 [...]
Do I have to always set the sided Prep Sensors on?
The default setting is on. The two side prep PIR sensors provide wider sensing angle and detect more potential triggers. In some situations, you only want to monitor a narrow spot. Too many irrelevant triggers by the side sensors outside of that spot will keep the camera on and off. This wastes the battery power [...]
Is it good always setting the sensor level to high?
This is not always necessary. The High setting suits indoors and environments with little interference, while the Normal/Low suits outdoors and environments with more interference. Temperature also affects the sensitivity. The High setting is suitable when the ambient temperature is warm, and the Low setting is helpful in cold weather.
Do I need to install the additional battery box?
For some expedient uses, you may only need 4 batteries without the additional battery box. To take full advantage of this camera and achieve longer field-life, we highly recommend you to always install the additional battery box.
The red LEDs lights stay on and the motion indicator keeps flashing blue?
When the red LEDs light up in the dark to work, they need to consume plenty of currency. If the battery power is low, the motion indicator will flash blue, and the camera will not take pictures or videos. This is crucial when the camera is set in video or cam+video mode where the LED [...]
Camera takes continuous pictures of no subject of interest?
Camera is triggered by the sudden change of ambient temperature. When placed in an environment where there is motion associated with tree limbs adjacent to the sensors or where there is high heat source in front of the camera, the camera can be “falsely” triggered constantly even if no subjects appear. Setting a camera up [...]
