I have 3 Spartans that work fine. Bought a fourth cam and troubles.The new cam is a model GLMLTEb . Worked fine for a month or so and quit taking pics. I will put it side by side with one of my original cams and walk around in front of cams. With both cams set at 15 seconds my old cam will take 20 photos and this model will take 2. Tried new batteries, different sd cards (actually put one of the sd cards from other cam in as a last resort and nothing).  I have it under warranty but not what I expected after spending  350.00. Was going to buy 3 or 4 more but not so sure now. Any ideas before I send it back.  THANKS!

  Is it taking the pictures and saving them to the SD card and just not sending them or not even taking the pictures are all? Have you tried going into the cameras menu and defaulting the camera and formatting the SD card?

  I will pull the sd card and put in reader to see if it is taking pics or not. When I walk in front of cam the green light flashes 15 times or so, then I move again and it flashes  15 times and on and on. Old cams don't do that. Not sure if it is just this model or why it flashes when sensing motion?  Thanks for your response I will check sd card and get back.

  You can hit the playback button on the camera (arrow button) and look at the pics on the card. If the green light is flashing the camera is still in set up. GoLives you have to wait three minutes for them to arm themselves or press and hold the left arrow button and the arm camera option will pop up on the screen. Then just press ok.
