Covert camera wireless App?

Covert camera wireless App?

In mobile settings the factory default is probably "download only when wifi is available." You just need to change that from on to off so it will download on cell data too. Data usage on the typical cell plan is usually pretty negligible.

I had one of the members that was going to the lease to take my 2016 camera and set it up for me. I've had 60 pictures of nothing since 11:00 this morning. I assume the heat is causing it to false trigger. My 2015 in the same spot didn't have that problem. Anyway, I went into the app and put a start and stop time of 4 pm and 10 pm on the first timer and start and stop time of 5 am and 10 am on the second timer. I'm still getting blanks. Will those settings not work until it gets to the first timer setting this afternoon?

It seems like I remember somebody saying that setting those didn't actually work with the app like it should. You had to have the camera in hand and do something to get those settings to load.

I wish the state would hurry up and take drastic measures on these *******s! So tired of these things

I read they are working on a poison? Sure wonder what can be done.

I think that was me and I am dealing with the same issues now.

You have to set the Start/stop time on the camera. The app will tell you the times are not right. I want mine off in the middle of the day from 10am-6pm so I think you have to put START 1 at 18:00 and STOP 1 at 10:00. The app will tell you the times are wrong, but they really arent

I think I set it on my camera a few days ago and SNYCed it to the app portal but it didn't work. I will check again tomorrow.

I tried setting the start time for 4 pm and stop time for 10 am the first time and it would not allow it. That's why I set it the way I did with 2 different timers and it let me do it but I was still getting pictures. I'm hoping it works starting tomorrow because I got over 100 pictures of nothing between noon and 5 this evening. I wish I had just sent my 2015 model to use there. I'm 7 hours away.

Not related to my issues but check out this picture from it from last night. I have another Covert camera on my pen and they both flashed at the same time.

Yeah it won't work. I tried it today. When the app lets you do it, its not right.

I will have to look back at this thread when I did this, but think you have to set it on the camera itself and either synconize it or DON'T sycronize it. But then you can't change the timer on the app

Haha yeah that is cool. Have it happen also when I place 2 cameras at same spot

Looks the be a game changer. Best trigger, detection circuit, most IR's and flash range and battery life maybe better then a HCO or Covert. Regardless I would only run it with a battery pack

I love my 2 Bushnell Aggresor cameras

Here is how I set mine. I'm not sure what you mean by "synchronize". My app just has a button that says save.

[gingib]

so you want it on only during 4-10pm and 5-10am?

You will prolly need to synchronize the app to the camera. This is done on the camera as by pressing one of the arrows on the camera while on the homescreen. This syncs the changes you put on the camera to the portal

[gingib]

another thing: The start-stop on the app itself is not working. I manually did it on the camera and SYNCED it to the app/portal from the camera and it is working.

I wanted my camera off from 12-5PM to save batteries and wasted pics of squirrels.

SO I put it on START1 17:00 and STOP 1 at 12:00. SO the camera turns on at 5pm and off at 12 noon

It sounds wrong but it is right. I learned it has to be opposite from my 2015 model. If you put those times in on the app it will tell you that won't work as the start time has to be before the end time.

I still wish the START_STOP issue would be resolved.

I got it set to START(COME ON) at 6pm and STOP(turn off) at 11am. it is working perfectly but the app tells me the times don't work, so I can't edit them unless I do it on the camera.

Here is what I went back and saw. I am going today to work on it and put it back as these times as middle of day I don't get pics anyways besides blanks or squirrels

My camera is 7 hours away so I can't do anything. I started getting blanks again about 11 today so I just changed my picture delay from 3 to 30 minutes. Very frustrating.

I figured mine out and got both my 2016's set on a timer.

So you have to manually set the start/stop times on the camera and then synchronize it before you leave which will make the changes to the app.

I set both mine at 18:00 to start and 10:00 to stop. Which means the camera is coming on at 6 pm and staying on until 10am.

When I called about warranty work on my 2015 I told her I would rather have another 2015 because of the complaints with the app. She said the app is 100 percent fixed now. It's pretty useless to have an app for settings that still require you to have your camera. Lol. Maybe they will fix it before my next lease trip. If not I'll just keep changing to a long delay during the heat of the day.
