Camera is sending pictures about ever 60-80 seconds, non-stop for hours one end.  What would cause this?  There is nothing in front of the camera to trigger it.

  Steve is there a T or M on the bottom of the picture?

  There is an M at the bottom of the picture.  Its odd because there are times when it will do it for a couple of hours straight, then it will stop.  Is there a space for ants or small bugs to get in behind the lens over the sensor?

  They shouldn't be able to get in anywhere as long as the plugs are in the bottom. I have one spot where twice a year it triggers at certain times of the day. I use start/stop times to extend the delay during that time frame. If you have a camera that does video you can request some videos and see if you can see the ants on the lens or maybe even something blowing in front of the camera or birds or chipmonks. If it continues the best thing to do is put the camera face down in a closet and see if it still continues to trigger.

  Thank you John.  That is good feedback.  I will pull it and see if I can work through a process of elimination to solve this problem.
