NO ANIMALS IN SOME OF MY PICTURES
1. Check to see if the camera is pointing at the rising or setting
sun which can trigger the sensor.
2. At night, the Motion Detector may sense animals beyond the
range of the IR illuminaton. Reduce the Distance setting.
3. Small animals may be triggering the unit. Reduce the
Distance setting and/or raise the height of the camera above
small animals.
4. The Motion Detector may sense animals through foliage.
Reduce the Distance setting.
5. If the animal moves quickly, it may have moved out of the
view of the camera before the picture was taken.
a. Move the camera further back.

move.
