I have this camera, it turns off every night. No specific time then comes back on in the morning at different times. Does anyone have a solution? T

It must be defective because mine works all of the time. Since I have had the camera I only had one incident. I unplugged the camera and restarted it and have never had another problem.

Got rid of mine after about 2 months of owerships for problems like you describe. Would never buy another. Replaced it with a Sharx model.

You need to go into setup for the camera, I think you have the scheduler turned on. Go into email/FTP Alarm, then click Alarm Service Settings, uncheck scheduler.

Hi the camera is recording all the time !! When it sees an alarm it keeps a time before and after alarm !! If it's been disabled it will not work if you lost Internet its lost the time it go's off till the time it gos back on !! The best you can do is have a back up eg with a card and a E M P S ( emergency power supply) but it is a good system !!!!

I am having problems with my S6500 also, but my problem is the camera somehow is depleting the battery when it is not even on. I purchased the Square Trade repair replacement policy for it through Amazon and they have had it twice within the past month and it still is not working right. I will give them one more try to repair and if it still does not work properly, I will requests a replacement or refund per the contract. I ended up having to purchase another camera to take on a vacation just to make sure I had one.

Yes, there is no setting for it to only run at night. I was very happy with the way the camera worked though, and I had the camera up for a month and a half and the batteries weren't down any more than 50%.

I had a similar problem. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. You must have your camera set in Timer mode for it to work. Point at the front of the camera where the sensor is. Kind of worthless to be honest.... Luckily it didn't cost much. Probably should have returned it. I bought one for myself & my son. Never of us use it... Timer on my camera works better.

First I'd make sure I don't have bad batteries . Then I'd check the Iram that is for infrared aiming if that don't work then cam locater is bad. I have mine set to every 1 minute and HI res and on auto. Good luck can't believe all the Awsome pic I have got with cam!!!!!

As you know the date and time is a function of the camera itself not the battery box. Do you lose the date and time using the batteries inside the camera? If you do then I suggest a call to Moultrie Customer Service. Also be sure you have the camera programmed correctly to show date and time. Good luck, you will get it figured out.

I think that may have something to do with the camera switching to night mode (black and white) when there is not enough light and then the DVR not recognizing that the camera is still sending a picture-you probably want to leave the setting on AUTO or EXT if possible.

it's a 24 hr clock not am pm make sure you're setting the right time. can only record one camera at a time.

If you have not purchased this camera yet I would advise not to do this. It has been servicing for 1 week. As other customer wrote, after batteries discharged and were replaced with new ones the camera didn't switch on and doesn't react on any action. My request to the shop remained unanswered.Regards

I had the same problem and then the camera stop working all together. Had it for just one week and stopped working.

I agree with JR, check/swap your wiring/power supply. If it still doesn't work send it back. Quality control on this camera is not good, Ordered 2, one was bad right out of the box.

Dont know if its too late to answer this to you... but I did fix it myself just sticking a piece of dark tape on the lateral... just over the round mirror found bellow the on/off switch. I did realize that it was sending some signals to the camera saying it was not night. Maybe some reflex from the white wall. So, I did tape it and now its working fine!

Thanks but what I'd like to understand is how it can be working perfectly one day, shut off while not in use, then the next time I turn it on, the image on the LCD screen is blurred, I haven't even pressed the shutter release yet, (and wouldn't due to the blurred and dark image). How can that happen? Why is there a need to adjust ISO settings when they haven't been touched?!

Sounds like you got a bad timer from Aputure. I would send it back because the LCD should be on all the time as mine is even when it is unplugged from the camera.

The camera, when in video mode, turns itself off after about 25 minutes when connected either to this power supply , or on battery... not aware of a work around or hack to change that .... good luck ... let me know if you find a work around
