Bought 6 of these cameras and 3 of them don't turn on when fully charged. Anyone else have this issue?

I purchase one and the camera will not charge or turn on to work. Never used it. Purchase for a graduation gift and or course I cannot return it for exchange or refund. I hope this helps. Thanks

No, I do not have a problem but I only bought it recently. I've been perfectly satisfied with it. We also use Olympus cameras for our office. We've never had a problem.

I've only had mine for about a month but no problem so far. I would definitely contact Olympus support. I had a question about the camera when I first received it and they could not have been any nicer. If that doesn't resolve the issue, I would then contact Amazon for an exchange.

Don't have that problem, but sometimes I can not get closed unless I remove the battery and re-install.

I'm sorry to hear that your having problems with yours that must be frustrating, I didn't have any problems with mine it works great. Good luck with it!

Hello Craig. Not sure I have any suggestions for you on this. I have had mine installed for almost a year now and have never had a problem. Maybe you got a lemon and hopefully you can return it for a replacement? It would be worth trying in my opinion because it's the best camera I have used thus far! I have 2 other cheaper Swan models installed on my system and plan to swap them out for this model as soon as I get the $$ to do it. This one beats the other Swan cameras I have 10 fold on overall picture and especially on night vision distance/clarity! Good luck Buddy

You probably have a bad battery. Same thing happened to me. I ordered two new batteries. Charged them and the Camera works perfect. If you purchased this item refurbished contact the seller and Amazon and have them refund the cost of the new purchased batteries. They refunded the cost for me.

Getting the same issue on mine. Red light never goes off while charging (overnight), and then won't ever turn on using the power button. I've used this model of a friend's, so I know how they work. But these are simply broken, as near as I can tell.

Hi Emily, it could be you need a new battery or to take it to camera store that fixes them.and have them check it for you. Good luck

I'm having the same problem I think these cameras are faulty. I am clearly not impressed with mine.

Unfortunately I have never had to reset my camera. Is it fully charged? Is it turning on? I will totally try & help you out the best I can :)

Mine's worked perfectly since day one. On one occasion several months ago the camera didn't recognize the second battery, but unplugging and reinstalling the battery pack cured that. Actually, I think I forgot to turn off the camera when changing batteries. Just make sure the camera is turned off when removing or reinstalling the battery pack. I'm very happy with this unit. I'll admit I do use ONLY Nikon brand batteries, though. I've learned over the years to be a bit skittish about third party brand batteries in my Nikon DSLR's.

I had this problem. Bought a new battery on ebay and charged and the blinking went away. I thought the problem was solved but after shooting 10 minutes of video the camera is dead. Neither battery works so I think the camera is defective.

I purchased and are using 4 of these cameras without issues. I would first check to confirm that your power source is constant. It is recommended that the cameras should have a static addressed and not be assigned a new one by the router. Even if you were to get a new ip address, that should prompt the camera to reboot. My understanding is the camera only reboot by 1) power on/off 2) from the software to reboot device.

I waited and waited tried different outlets never did charge. Sent it back and they sent me another after a month or so. That didn't charge either. Had to buy a generic from Amazon. Finally got to use my camera.

You camera sounds like it is defective. I use lithium batteries and, although, I have never counted I believe I have gotten several hundred photos and/or several minutes of movies on one set of batteries (but I always carry spares, just in case).

Haven't had any problems with my unit. Maybe going over the instructions again, making sure you have the correct model for your camera, batteries are good, and making sure cords are fully inserted would help. Also you could look at the reviews to see comments made that may help you.

I think we all have that problem. It only works when plugged in. They are notorious for not holding a charge.
