False Triggers

If you seem to be getting false triggers (i.e. the camera is taking pictures of

nothing); first put your camera back to the default settings and try your camera

again. This will ensure that you are running with known settings – with the

motion detector ON at HIGH sensitivity and with Time-Lapse OFF.

If after going back to the default settings and you still seem to be getting false

triggers, check the physical setup of your camera. The sun should not be shining

directly on the face of the camera, and the camera’s field of view should be

cleared of as much vegetation as possible. False triggers most often occur on

sunny, breezy days. Vegetation will soak up the sun’s energy and it will become

warmer than the ambient air temperature. Then, when the wind moves the

vegetation, the camera sees this and cannot distinguish it from a warm-blooded

animal moving in the scene. For this reason, careful placement and setup of

your camera helps prevent false triggers.

Only as a LAST resort should you turn down your camera’s motion sensitivity;

this reduces your ability to detect movement of warm-blooded animals, especially

during the summer.

Camera Not Triggering on Animals

First put the camera back to Default settings and try your camera again. This will

ensure that you are running with known settings – it will set the motion detector

ON at HIGH sensitivity. This is important, especially in the warmer months,

because as the background temperature approaches the temperature of the

animals, the strength of the signal decreases and the range goes down

accordingly.

If you are still having trouble, please refer to the “Mounting and Aiming Your

Camera” section for detailed information, as well as using the WalkTest mode.

Keep in mind that most animals are not 6 feet (2 meters) tall, so when you use

the WalkTest mode, do not just walk by the camera in a full upright stance. The

camera may be triggering on your upper torso or head and not on your legs

(where most animals are likely to be). There is an inactive zone that you need to

be aware of so that you don’t aim the inactive zone precisely on a trail – if you

do, you will not pick up animal activity on the trail.

It is important to keep in mind that there are other factors that can also affect the

ability of your camera to detect motion. Wind can have a detrimental effect.

Body heat from an animal can be quickly dispersed away from the animal on a
