2014 Covert 3G Trail Camera

Is your sms switch on to receive commands? I would leave the sms off, it will chew thru your batteries fast. Just set the trigger to the minutes apart you want and let it go like that.

It's got twelve rechargeables and a covert solar panel w/battery pack.


I don't think it'll send a pic.

[Luck_of_the_Draw]

It sent this one. But nothing after that.

Are you sure you flipped the switch from set up to on after you sent that picture? I've made that mistake before.

Yep. Double checked that. I changed the time wrap as well

You only need 4 mm-hi rechargeable batteries! And there is a tiny switch over the top of the batteries you need to switch to mm-hi.
Try that see what happens.

Yep. It's on the recharge side.

I noticed in the tree picture your battery level is at 6. If this was the very first picture you took , maybe your new batteries are bad? I have had this happen before.
Mine won't send pictures after level 6 on the batteries

Been holding out on ordering a 3G because my 2G is still working. Are the 3G's working good?

[Abcdj]

Mine work good if i don't goof It up. The 2g will work till Jan. Then every provider is going 3g. Read early in the post or other post and I believe you can send your 2g camera to covert and for $50 they will convert it to 3g.

Brand new duracell batteries.

It's the signal I think. I can get two bars on my phone and 4G. The camera will fail to log in with the booster antenna. It'll login in with the short 3G antenna.

Is there a "2G" and 3G booster antenna?

I left it out with the short antenna and plugged onto the solar panel.

Just hoping...........

[Luck_of_the_Draw]

Which one?



I've got the shorter fatter one.

[Silent Assassin]

Why use booster antennas? For area that's got poor signal service?

Just got mine going this week. 10 min. At the AT&T store for the SIM card. The. Another 10 setting it up.

Don't forget to put 1 then area code and number. That was my only hiccup. Forgot the 1.
