7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your XTU Trail Camera.

7.1 Camera Not Turning On

• Check Batteries: Ensure 8 AA batteries are inserted correctly with proper polarity and are not depleted.
• Mode Switch: Verify the mode switch is set to 'ON' or 'TEST'.

7.2 Poor Image/Video Quality

• Lens Cleanliness: Clean the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth.
• Lighting Conditions: Ensure sufficient lighting during the day. For night vision, ensure no obstructions block the IR LEDs.
• Distance: Objects too close or too far may appear overexposed or too dark in night vision. Optimal night vision range is up to 15 meters.

7.3 Motion Detection Issues (Too Sensitive/Not Triggering)

• PIR Sensitivity: Adjust PIR sensitivity settings in the app or camera menu (TEST mode). High sensitivity may trigger on small movements like leaves.
• Obstructions: Ensure no branches or tall grass are directly in front of the PIR sensors, which can cause false triggers.
• Placement: Position the camera to capture movement across the detection zone rather than directly towards it for optimal triggering.

7.4 WiFi/App Connection Problems

• Camera Mode: Ensure the camera is in 'ON' or 'TEST' mode.
• Bluetooth/WiFi On: Verify Bluetooth and WiFi are enabled on your smartphone.
• Proximity: Be within 20 meters of the camera for a stable connection.
• App Permissions: Check if the "TrailCam Go" app has necessary permissions (e.g., location, Bluetooth, WiFi) on your phone.
• Not Home WiFi: Remember the camera connects directly to your phone's WiFi, not your home network.

7.5 Excessive Battery Consumption

• Battery Quality: Use high-quality alkaline or rechargeable lithium AA batteries.
• PIR Sensitivity: Reduce PIR sensitivity if the camera is triggering too frequently due to inanimate objects.
• Recording Settings: Shorter video clips or fewer burst photos can conserve battery life.
• Temperature: Cold temperatures can significantly reduce battery performance.
