JK, You seem like the resident expert on trail cams so maybe you can help me out. The N4 i got doesnt seem to be taking pics. It will take them of you if you turn it on and move in front of it but my friend set it out for several days in a really active spot and returned with no pics. Do you have any hypotheses on what may be wrong or maybe some tests that he can do to see what may be wrong. Thanks, BEAST

Well im not J.K but have you tried setting it on a tree and walking infront of it where you hope the deer is going to be at ?

and was the camera aimed correctly?

im sure that J.K. will know allot more then me Smile

How close were you at the camera when it took pics of you? Mabey the sensor doesnt work unless somethings real close !

Did he have an SD card in it, and new batteries?How far away from the trail is it? How high was it set up? Did it have pics, but nothing in them or no pics at all? One thing he could do is take it home and set it up just like he would in the woods, then turn it on and let it set for 15-20 min. After 15-20min go and do some walk tests infront of it(Day & Night), and see if it takes pics of him. It is possible that once it goes into sleep mode that it doesn't wan't to come out of it. Cameras can also have dead spots in the sensing, my N6 doesn't sense well to the right side of the camera, but senses great to the left. Hope this helped some. If ya got anymore questions go ahead and ask Very Happy

The camera only takes blank white pics when tested. I might try emailing WGI to see what i should do.

I'll try to post a pic. Like i said it is not in my possesion but in my friends. I bought it for him. The good news is that WGI helped him out and it now takes fine pics. Something to do with the settings and the direction of the cam. And for the dark and light tests inside the white walls were no end of light reflection, hence the white pics. Thanks JK for all.

He said he got some nice pics but not enough to download them to the comp. I would've done it anyway it is not that big a deal but hey it is not my cam. He said he will get some to me the next time he checks it.
