(in addition to posting summary of these in the group spreadsheet dedicated to the topic) I recently published a longer form version of trail cameras failure symptoms, root causes and fixes on our blog.

Failures covered include:

  1. Stuck IR filter
  2. Run-on triggering
  3. Loss of focus
  4. Early battery draining
  5. Flash failure
  6. No photos taken
