    After you turn it on and it finds signal try pressing and holding the left arrow button down. It should ask you if you want to arm the camera, say yes to that and see what happens. What is the internal battery voltage on the last status report that it sent? Also, if you have any pending commands cancel them.

    Battery icon only shows green when connected to solar panel with sun.  I had lithium batteries but put energizers in here at the house.

    Your internal is pretty low so that might be the reason, also 2 bars of signal is really really low, was it always that low? Is it possible the antenna got damaged? Have you tried a different SD card? Can you post a pic of the one that you are using?

    New 32 SD Card now getting 12 new lithium batteries. How about the camera location any suggestions?

    That should be working again once the camera is back up and running. That internal battery is what powers the GPS. Make sure that locator and tracker are both turned on once the camera is sending pics again.

    Are you leaving the camera off? It may take several hours. Let the battery get up over 3.8 if possible. It will work below that, but the higher you let it charge, the better.

    Camera is armed takes picture then after 3 minutes goes into sleep mode and want activate.  I have to manually arm again.  Is that due to weak battery?

    After three minutes the screen should turn off and the camera should be armed. If after that the cameras still not working it very well could be the low internal battery.

    Have you checked the SD card and see if there's pictures on it that it's not sending or is it not even taking pictures?

    Up date!  Just checked the Spartan pictures.  The one outside I walked around 6 or so times, I believe it went into sleep mode and stopped.  Now the pictures apparently came in at least 20-30 minutes later.

    It sounds like batch sending might be on but they should have been on the SD card. Go into the cameras menu and default the camera

    After three minutes the screen should turn off and that's when the camera is armed and should take motion triggered pictures.
