I just replaced the batteries for the first time, and the battery reading is still at zero (no orange bars). It still takes pictures. Is there a way to reset it?

  What model camera and what batteries did you use?

  Ghost cam, Duracell optimum. They were the same brand batteries I had in it originally.

  What is the time and date of the last status report and what voltages are being shown?

  3.88 is low for the internal but if the camera batteries were dead that is recharging. Keep an eye on that and it should increase. Your externals (aa's) are fine, looks like they are over 1.7 volts each. That's a little higher than normal aa's so the camera thinks it has a very low 12v external rather than aa's that are new. Once they lose a little voltage they will show full. Based on those numbers your camera is fine. The ghost battery stuff does take a little getting used to.
