Odd Sunday Only Issue
I have several events through the day. Photos at 8am 12pm 4pm 8pm and the 12am status. I was using these to make minor setup changes, but now they are mostly reassurance the camera is still working. Last Sunday my camera stopped sending event photos after around 4 pm. I drove to the camera and it did capture me arriving and sent those photos. I changed the batteries even though the P was still 5. Everything seemed fine. Till this past Sunday. Exactly one week. New camera, first two weeks in use. Once again it sent the photo at 4 pm but didn't send 8 pm or later. I waited till Monday to drive to the location but by the time I arrived the 8 am event had already been sent. The second week I also didn't get the midnight event. The first week I did, but remember I drove down and triggered the camera by arriving.
I have no events that are day of the week specific. I retrieved the settings today and can find nothing obvious.
I realize that this could be something unrelated to Sunday, but the timing has me wondering.
Thoughts?

You didn’t mention model. What’s the signal strength? Is firmware current?
Only thing I can suggest is to default the camera, which you must do from the camera, third menu tab. Take/send a manual photo, request setting update then take/send a manual photo to get camera to update settings.

It’s good that your firmware is current, but don’t make the mistake of assuming that a brand new camera will have the latest firmware. You buy a new phone or computer, and there are almost always updates for it as soon as you turn it on. Camera firmware updates are released less frequently, but it’s always a good idea to check, even with a brand new camera.
