My Verizon camera is only taking a photo of a scheduled pic.  Sensor doesn't seem to picking up.  Brand new batteries, Software up to date, Great signal.  Disk has been reformatted.  Pretty frustrating.  Not sure where to go from here.

Any help would be appreciated

  Which model camera? GC-what?

  Is the camera taking motion triggered photos and just not sending them? (They’re on the SD card.) Or is it not taking them at all?

  Have you tried resetting the camera to defaults?

  GC-V4Gb - GC-V4Gb/GoCam (Verizon 4G) Blackout

  Not taking any photos at all.   SD empty except for command photos which it does send via text as well.  Have reset it before and it would start working again but now it won't do anything at all.  It does take a command photo and send it.  Thinking sensor but not sure.  Sensor is set to high.   Not sure by what is meant by resetting.  Haven't tried to go back to factory setting and start over.

  Thank you

  Matt

  Sensitivity should normally be set to normal. 

  When you say command photo, do you mean manual photo? (Camera in setup, press OK to take photo, OK again to send)

  Default: Camera in setup, press Menu button, scroll to third tab, scroll down to Default.

  What are the specs of the SD card you are using? (Size, class, capacity, is there a speed like 80 MB/s?)

  Did factory reset to default. Fixed the issue. Command photo. I have it set to take a photo everyday at 11. That was the only thing that was stillworking at the time of resetting it. 

  Thank you

  Matt,

  Defaulting a camera often clears the cobwebs. I think what you are calling a command photo is a scheduled event photo. The original 3G cameras, you could command to take a photo, but that's something else entirely. That's why I was confused, because your model doesn't support that feature.
