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 turned
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
