BEST PRACTICES
CAMERA STOPS TAKING IMAGES OR WON'T TAKE IMAGES
1. Please make sure that the SD card is not full. If the SD card is full,
the camera will stop taking images. Users can turn on SD Loop to
avoid such problems.
2. Make sure that alkaline or NiMH-AA batteries have enough power
for the camera to work.
3. Make sure that the camera power switch is in the "On" position and
not in the "Off" or "Setup" mode.
4. Format the SD card with the camera before using or when the
camera stops taking images.
NIGHT VISION FLASH RANGE DOESN'T MEET EXPECTATION
1. Please check to make sure that batteries are fully charged
2. "Max Range" offers better IR flash range. Given IR flash range
values are based on max range setting; so please adjust Night
Mode to Max Range for better night vision flash range
3. High quality 1.2V NiMH rechargeable AA batteries can also offer
improved IR flash range. Alkaline batteries cannot deliver enough
wattage to power the illuminator consistently at night.
4. Certain surroundings (like trees, walls, ground, etc.) within flash
range can deliver you better night time images; to improve night
images do not aim camera in an open field where there is nothing to
reflect the IR flash back; its like shining a flashlight into the sky at
night, you can't see anything.
