2014 Covert 3G Trail Camera

[Silent Assassin]

Set up my spot with feeder, covert camera and it was working real well until around noon now I've not gotten any picture? Hmm? I set it to instant not end of the day to send report. I didn't want to go back and mess with it and booger up deer movement. Can anyone guess what's up with this?

Nothing triggering it? Do you have it set to shut down for parts of the day?

Does anyone else get bad quality pics? . I have sensitivity all the way down and it is still picking up the the grass blowing in the wind.

The pictures it sends to you are not supposed to be high quality. they can't text 8 mp images to you. The good pics are saved on the sd card. The ones you get via text are just meant to give you a preview.

If you have your camera mounted to a small tree that moves when the wind blows it could send lots of pictures. If you don't have a large tree you could always drive a T post to mount it to.

It could be the tree. Dang totally didn't think about that. I will be setting a fence post in the ground soon.

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.

This , I've done no problem, just call and they will give you a return number, send with $50.00 and you will get it back within a week

What setting do you have the sensitivity on? I think mine has Low, Normal ,High.

[Bowtech08]

It's set on low

I made these boxes out of 2x12's and they just wire right to, 2 t post and the hog panels. We move them around from feeder to feeder really easy. The solar panels are on top. They are 6 ft tall for better reception.

Cool idea

It's set on low

It seems backwards bet when the setting is on "Low" it takes the least amount of movement to trigger. Change it to high sensitivity and you should be good

It's set on low

Change it to high. The sensitivity settings are the opposite of what you think. They've always been that way on the Covert cameras and luckily the 3G cameras actually have temperatures listed out beside each setting. The "high" setting is recommended when temps are exceeding 80 degrees

I went back to the spot and I figured my sd card maxed so I formatted it. Now it works but dang, takes pictures so sensitive. I don't see high or low. I do see temperatures, though. I am getting bigger memory sd card so it last longer. Battery already shows used up. I may get solar charger and 12v box with battery with solar charger for it.

Turn on overwrite on your camera and it will just overwrite your pictures and never fill up the card. Also, turn off the SMS feature if you want your batteries to last.
