Duane, how much light do you have to have for this camera to see colors when recording? I can put the camera under a light and see things in color, but I move the camera from under the light and it goes to black and white. It's daytime and it's in black and white.

Can you toggel the flash on and off on this camera?

4k video + 120 deg camera view is very tempting for me to buy one of these except, it doesn't look like you are able to lock the front panel. I prefer trail cams that you can lock so that they can't be tampered with. Just saying...Love the content MB!!!!

April 16, 2024, Hi, I just found you channel looking for useful help with my new trail cam. Hopefully you might can help me. I purchased a "no name" trail camera off Amazon with good reviews. The box just says "4K HUNTING CAMERA 4K UHD Made in China" no manufacturer or model number. It does work and I managed to take a video of a bob cat near the chicken coop last night. However, there are several settings that I'm unsure of and to what level they should be set. It has a manual but it only says what the possible setting are but not why you would want them. The settings are 1) Motion Filter - on or off 2) Fill Light Distance - near, middle or far 3) PIR - High, Medium, or Low 4) Detection Delay - 5 sec to 1 hour The manual says it has a trigger time of .05s Does that in anyway interact with Detection Delay? The camera does work and I'm satisfied with it but if I'm able to get more/better results that would be an added bonus. Thanks!

@mountainbuck

2 ай бұрын

Hey I’d be happy to help! 1. I’m not sure what the motion filtering is about, so I would just leave it off for now. 2. It depends on where your target is for night shots. If your chicken coop is pretty close, I would put the fill light (basically the infrared flash) on near and see how the photos/videos look at night. 3. This is your night time flash (most likely infrared lights). If your photos are coming out and lit well at night, I would leave it as is. If they are dark, bump it up! 4. I’d set the detection delay between 5-10 seconds. This is how quickly the camera will take another photo if the subject is still in front of it. If you have it set to an hour, you’ll see a bob cat, but then have no idea what it did because it wouldn’t take another photo for an hour. This isn’t related to trigger speed. Trigger speed is how quickly the camera can take a photo when the subject enters the frame. A fast trigger speed will capture an animal running past the camera. A slow trigger will miss it. Best of luck with your trail cam! 👍🏻

Hey Duane. I set this camera up just like you said. I set the record time for 20 seconds, and it records for 20 seconds. No color. And after that 20 seconds it does nothing. Ive tried it half a dozen times. Nothing different happens. It will record for the amount of time I tell it to record, but then stops and nothing else will happen. It's kind of like a test video or something, just won't do any recording after the first video. I've set it up for about 45 minutes but the only thing it recorded was the video time I had it set to. Nothing else. Tell me what you think is wrong. And no color at all when recording.

Hey Steven. Are you walking in front of the camera after you’ve turned it on? Here’s a way you can tell if your camera is recording… take it to a dark room (no light like a bathroom) and turn off the lights. Turn on the camera (make sure it’s in video mode) and stay in front of it until you see the infrared lights come on. If you have it set to record for 20 seconds, those red lights will be on for 20 seconds. Give it a few and then go to play mode and review your video.
