On my old bushnell cams i could set it to timelapse for about 30 minutes before sun up to 2 hours after sun up, and the same thing for the evening.  It would still take pics if triggered throughout the day.

 

Is that an option. I tried to get something similar with the spartan, but if I set the 2 time lapse intervals, then the camera doesn't work outside those times.

 

Any ideas?

    Unfortunately, no. Several of us have asked to have two start-stop times and an option for regular settings during the other times but it’s not a feature at this time.

    Is this still how this is operating?  I am using an older 3G Gocam and currently have it set up as follows:

    Under Trigger Settings I have "trigger Interval = 5m", Timelapse Interval = Off

    Under Trigger Settings: Start-Stop-1:  I have Start Time = 0600, Stop Time=0900, Trigger Interval = 5m, Timelapse Interval = 15m

    Under Trigger Settings: Start-Stop-2:  I have Start Time = 1400, Stop Time=1700, Trigger Interval = 5m, Timelapse Interval = 15m

    I thought this setup would give me motion sensed photos at all times over 5m intervals, as well as timelapse photos every 15m between 0600 - 0900 and 1400 - 1700.  Unfortunately, I seem to be getting timelapse photos all day and all night.

     

    Is there something I can do to at least only get the timelapse photos for 3hours in the morning and evening?

    You should be getting photos only between 6 and 9 AM and 2 and 5 PM and nothing the rest of the time. Are you sure you requested a setting update? Does the command history show that it went through?

    Yes; I will do so again to see if anything changes.  I did the earlier setup from the app.

    When you set any start stop time, you don't have an option under regular settings except for sensitivity. There are no options for either trigger interval or time lapse. If you are seeing those under trigger settings, start-stop times aren't set.

    What does it look like from the app? (Regardless of whether you can see the trigger setting info or not, the camera should not pay any attention to those settings if there is even one start-stop setting used because once you set even one start-stop, it should pay attention only to start-stop.)

    From the app you only see the sensitivity in the Trigger Settings.  For the Trigger Settings: Start-Stop I have the start and stop times set, and the trigger interval is 5m and the timelapse interval is 15m.  However, the camera takes pictures every 15m, regardless of the times.

    You may want to check with support (support@spartancamera.com, 770-582-0004). I don’t have a 3G camera to test with and I doubt anything will change with settings or the app since 3G cameras won’t be around much longer.

    Thanks, will do.  I didn't expect them to work this long.  However, in some areas where I hunt only my 3G camera gets a signal.  Any idea when Verizon will really shut it down?

    Official date is 12/31/2022. I had one working until a couple of months ago but it started running away so I retired it.

    Make sure that your time zone is set in the camera settings in the app
