Ghost cam won’t stop taking pics

My ghost cam has been taking pictures non stop every 30 seconds for days. This isn’t the first time either. Very frustrating. Just did automatic data renewal because it took so many.

    Is there and M or T at the bottom of the pictures?

    Have you tried changing the delay?

    Can you post a photo or two so we can see what the camera is seeing? One day and one night would be good.

    The best way to test the camera is to put it in a drawer or closet where there is no chance of movement. If it’s still taking pictures non-stop, then you’ll want to get in touch with tech support. support@spartancamera.com or 770-582-0004.

    Have you requested a video to see what might be moving? That stalk that looks like it's really close to the camera may be causing problems and the stalks in the background are also suspicious. If it's not on photo + video, please change it to that and request a video or two. That should tell you whether there's movement or not.

    I'd definitely test it in a drawer or closet.

    My Verizon cam is doing the same every 30 seconds and has a M on the info bar

    Mine has done this 3-4 times this year, all in different locations. It’s got to be a malfunction of some sort, it will stop and act ok for a day or 2 then go back to a pic every 30 seconds.

    I have 26 Spartan cams and I’m constantly having to reset them. Super frustrating. Covert cams sounding better and better

    Ronald and Michael,

    Have you run the camera in photo + video and requested a couple of videos to see if there is movement. Have you put the camera in a drawer or closet to see if it continues to take motion pics? If you do the drawer/closet test and the camera continues to take pics, you need to contact suppor@spartancamera.com or call 770-582-0004.
