Tactacam question

[dlbleak]

I’m running 4 cams but one takes 30-40 pics of nothing every day. The sensitivity is turned down already. Unless there is a bird, mouse, squirrel or something in the pics, I can’t figure out was setting it off. It’s on a trail out of the wind so I don’t think that’s it. Any suggestions?

I put out my first Tactacam a few days ago and noticed it does that on occasion.

Have you checked the video footage? I noticed that with mine it will sometimes miss the animal, but If I request the video clip I will then see the animal walk by. Also, I had some coyote that would trigger the camera but be be on the corner of the area, like you could see his tail or something and that was it.

If it was just a few pics, I wouldn’t think anything of it. It’s taking dozens and dozens. Just counted, 40 since 10:30

Maybe you've got a lot of really fast deer?

I’ve got a Spartan doing the same, and I would bet yours is wind rustling grass. Unless you’re willing to mow everything behind the camera, I have no suggestions.

It has taken almost 100 more pics since my post at 11:57. I just got the low battery message too. It only does this from 11 am to about 3 or 4

Shadow maybe

Yup, I have 2 Tactacams and one of them does something similar.. What's weird it only does it for a couple of hours almost every day and only around 4-5pm. It usually only amounts to a dozen or so pics so I don't really worry about it. Other than that it works normally and fine. I thought maybe sunlight but it's mounted in a spot that gets no direct
sunlight.
