Title: help with trail cam
Post by: adkmountainken on November 03, 2008, 08:11:00 AM
i have the $99 Wally world trail cam that worked great the first few weeks i used it, took nice, large pic's. latly when i want to use it the most to conduct a scrape experiment it is taking smaller pictures. i adjust the setting to hig quality and they are coming out small, can't seem to resize them without losing clearity. when i first used it i was using picture mode only and it worked great. now i have it set on video which it automaticly switchyes to still shots at night, could this be the problem? i will show you what i mean, the first 2 pic's were taken a month ago, the next 2 were 2 days ago. please help me if you can.

No clue.  I have trouble with mine during the day.  If I have auto flash on, then it does not flash during lowlight and I don't get the shot.  If I have flash on all the time it white outs the day shots!  It is a stealth cam wildview I got at Sam's Club.

This is what the day pics come out like if I use the flash on all the time.  This was me getting busted by my own camera.  Nice!

This is a night pic with the flash, works great.  Just can't get day pics to work well.  This little guy has been flirting with me at this stand all season.

if your cam is a wildview, check to see if there is a resolution switch.  I have one and it does'nt change the quality just the size.  And unless you have an infared camera, most that i know of dont take video at night because the flash just flashes. by the way, hi resolution is the bigger pics on mine.
