I bought this camera for my husband for christmas. He is still trying to mess with it. Is there a trick to get it set up right?

I did the same thing and my husband has had success with it. I will ask him about it tonight and get back to you. :)

A lot of messing with it! Set it up with like 5 minute intervals, it'll take a lot of pics but you can shorten the interval and it only needs to be off ground for deer of maybe 3' seems to shoot a bit high good luck

Just put ours outside. Just followed instructions for setting it up. We will see if it works. (It took one of the dogs in the garage! LOL)

Sorry no. Make sure you are inputting the proper login and password. If nothing works you might try to reset the camera "Server" to default and begin your setup again

Double check to make sure it's not on "no flash" (lightning bolt with circle and slash through it) which youcan change by pressing the circle with the ok in the middle. If that doesn't work, turn the camera off, take the battery out,and then put back in and turn on. also make sure your camera is well charged. Otherwise, get service.

Like William stated make sure your settings in the camera are correct. Also make sure that there is no battery tape in the remote. Some come with it to keep the battery from discharging until you recieve it.

make sure you activate the "remote commander" control, situated in the main menu on the camera.hope that works

I ordered this for my daughter and simply can't figure it out. Are there some better instructions out there. It seems to work for a bit but isn't the record button supposed to blink all the time while recording? I changed batteries twice but it seems to just stop? Any suggestions for a very technically challenged mom?

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.

On the top of the camera do I leave the switch kept on the Green Camera? I don't know which setting that should be on either. Do I use the flash with the flower button? Need more light? I don't know what my image quality should be set on or my image size, should it be set on portair, number of pixels to use. Sorry so much, but this camera is new and I can't figure it out. So frustrating. Thanks for answering.

So I just bought and received this camera a couple of days ago. I am literally setting it up right now while I am writing this review. I've installed about 20 wireless ip cameras from various manufacturers (I have an IT business.) So I went about installing in the usual manner. Connect camera to router, check the DHCP table to get the ip address, log in via the ip address (the CDs are worthless), and change the settings from there. It usually take me 10 minutes. This camera went about the same until I tried to log in via the ip address in my web browser. My router found the camera, but I couldn't log in. I've been troubleshooting for about half an hour and I found the culprit, which is probably why people have had trouble with set-up on this camera. THE DEFAULT PORT SETTING IS 81 (not 80)!!! After that - set-up was per every other ip camera I've done. I've finished the set-up before finishing this post. Hope that helps!

I bought it a month ago and am frustrated. I need to spend some time going through the manual and really learn how to use it. It is a point and shoot camera but not really as far as ease of use. I was at an indoor christmas party and couldn't get the flash to work. 2 other people tried as well and we gave up. But its not the camera's fault...just need to really read the manual and learn how to use it. If you aren't willing to spend the time, don't get it. If so, it looks like a really great camera and takes beautiful pictures. The videos are crisp and clear, good sound. I also love the zoom. I can't wait to find out what this camera can really do!

I haven't even been able to get the darn thing to record. The directions are pretty much non-existent. Any tips?

I had the same problem. I too am frustrated trying to learn this camera - in the past all I had was a very basic digital camera. My issue was having the burst feature on. If you hit menu, and next to picture burst if it does not day "off" the flast will not work.

I'm not sure I never got mine to work. Wish I was more help. the camera may be ok but they sent it with third party software that didn't work. I googled for an answer and found lots of issues with the same problem and other people. I downloaded it from the mfg site and installed it. Still didn't work and after investigation it is a cloud type software that I felt was a security risk. I would buy from a reputable company.

I thought I had the same problem but it seems that this particular type of camera is just a piece of junk. Sorry you got stuck with this!!

Unfortunetly I haven't figured that out myself. I only installed the camera 2 days ago and am working out the details right now. I am going to have a friend translate the on screen menu so I can figure out how to use it better
