My camera stopped sending pictures last Sunday. I haven't had time to check it out until today. It says on my phone that the camera has 30% battery and the card is 66% full. I get to the camera and there are no lights on. I turn it off, remove the SD card, insert a new SD card and turn it back on. It won't come on. No light, no nothing. So, are the batteries dead, or did the camera die? With the camera off, when I look at my phone, it still says 30% battery and 66% full SD card. I don't have enough double A batteries in the house to put new ones in to find out. Will have to wait until tomorrow.

Batteries could be dead. Mine send a text starting at 20% battery life. Try new batteries.

Batteries are dead. Mine do that all the time. Once they get below 40% the battery meter isn’t very accurate. I’ve had em quit at 30 and had to all the way to 1. Doesn’t make sense. But I’d bet good money it’s just the battery.

Batteries are probably dead
. Some of mine will die when they get to 30 percent. I had one randomly quit that won’t do anything so it’s going back to Tactacam

The solar chargers are worth their weight in gold. I put one out in September and the batteries are still at 100% and that camera has taken 1000s of pictures.

Had similar issue with one of mine. Finally had time to go check on it and picked up deer at processor. Anyway mine I had gotten there with new batteries and a new SD card. Had to end up pulling the cell card and reinstall per customer service started right back to working.

I was told this weekend that when batteries get to 50% you should change them.

Yep, battery issue. I’ve got 9 in the woods. Overwhelming majority of the time when they quit sending pics it’s a battery issue.

I was/am having battery issues with one so i hooked up a solar panel, PLUS added new batteries, and it still quit working. Installed new batteries and she fired up back up. I went back in 3 weeks later to feed up and figured I'd go ahead and ad some fresh batteries because it only seemed to want to work for 3 to 4 weeks, well added new batteries and i be damned if it didn't quit 3 days later 🤣 Right in the middle of the rut 🤷🏾‍♂️ Seasons over now so i reckon i need to get in touch with 'em about it.

Mine are on external battery. Put them out 1st of October and pulled them last weekend. No issues with battery life or camera. I may look into solar if these batteries ever go out.
