    Not sure, sometimes it happens. You can try logging out and back in but I see this reply so things must be good. Just post it again.

    Have you checked the batteries to make sure that they are low? Also make sure power saving is still turned on in the camera settings. Hopefully hooking the 12 volts up to a 6v camera didn't cause any damage.

    Gotcha. If you don't have a multi meter I would get one and check the batteries to make sure they are all dead

    I do have one of those, if they are dead what would cause this after only a handful of pictures

    Something may be shorting out from the 12v power supply. Did you check power save in the settings on the app? What kind of batteries.

    Energizer max, not sure what the 12v power supply you’re referring to is

    The 12v power supply I'm talking about is the 12 volt battery you said you connected to the camera.

    Okay gotcha, I may have caused a short. I assume this is something that can’t be fixed

    The camera is still working so I'd say there is a chance

    Hooked up the battery pack today, took a little while to power up. Fingers crossed the 12v battery holds its charge.
