2016 Covert camera issue

It's always something with these cameras

I guess all bars are not created equal. Must be that camera at that spot for some reason.

Use to have a covert that did the same thing. What I did was kept pulling SIM card out and re-installing and it finally connected. Took 4 or 5 times.

Good Luck!

I've had to do this before.

Finally got it to work. I connected at the top of the hill and drove down to my blind. I drove it down with small antenna 500 yards away... couldn't tell if it was still working or not because phone signal sucks. Grabbed the whole booster antenna, solar and pipe configuration and took it up top again. Looked like a high power radio operator riding down the hill in the bed of the my buddy's truck[emoji23]. But that sucker works now[emoji23][emoji41]

Woohooo!

Good deal

Congratulations! I know that was frustrating!

Didn't I tell you to do that ? [emoji23]

Adapt and overcome! Nice work! :-)

I'm glad you got it to work, but that makes zero sense to me having to do that. I wonder if it's going to stay up and running. I hope it does, 5 hours is a long ways away.

Without pulling the SD card down the road, is there an easy way to tell if it's sending you all the pictures it's taking? Sending efficiency would be my main concern with the login issue.

Well I'm not getting all my pics so I'm assuming I'm
Having intermittent signal issues.

Notice all the corn gone between the 9 am pic and my next pic received after dark.




I'm assuming this is one of 213 pics on my SD card? And it was on zero when I put it in yesterday afternoon after formatting. I have received 10-12 pics since then. [emoji35]

Coverts can be a nightmare. It's terrifying when battery's die or you move the thing or pull a card. Just never know if its going to work when you turn it back on!

They are great when you have good signal and a pain in the azz when you don't

I just bought two antennas so I'll get them rwDy to attach on the next trip.

Has anyone looked at adding additional battery and panel?

Agreed on the low signal pain in the arse.. This has the booster antenna but its not really helping much
