Before getting started, turn your camera off. Then, follow the steps below. One of these steps may be the reason your camera s has never communicated or sent photos.
STEP 1 - SD CARD
Make sure your SD or microSD card (memory cards) have the following specifications:
- Your SD or MicroSD card must be class 10, SDHC, between 2GB-32GB.
- Always long-format before use or reuse.
- Always use the size of card intended for the device. MicroSD to standard SD adapters should only be used when reviewing files on a computer and NOT in the device.
- Always keep extra formatted cards with you to avoid a wasted trip.
Watch this video to understand how to select the right SD or MicroSD card.
STEP 2 - BATTERIES
Make sure to select the correct batteries. This step is crucial to ensure your device functions properly.
- Be sure to install 8 X new non-rechargeable, premium-brand AA alkaline/lithium batteries or fully charge your battery pack.
- Selecting the correct Battery Type in the app will allow you to receive the most accurate battery life reading. Select your device in the Cameras tab > Settings > Advanced Configuration > Power Source. Please note that you will not see 0% once the batteries are dead. The % will reflect the battery life at the last communication before your batteries ran out.
- It is possible for one of the batteries of a brand-new package to be dead. This would stop your device from sending photos. Therefore, we recommend having a multimeter that could measure the voltage of the batteries to determine the accurate battery percentage.

STEP 3 - FIRMWARE
Make sure your device always has an up-to-date firmware. Check out the most recent firmware version and instructions for your device by visiting your device’s support webpage. Go to All About my Device > Select your device > Scroll down to the Firmware Update section.
*When proceeding with a firmware update, make sure you have full battery life (70% or higher).
