Why? Sensitive to sensitivity.

I am not sure where I am going with this, but.....

I had a stealthcam deceptor covering a road and it was about as good as I could ask for. Very little was missed while also very little garbage. Well it got zapped by lightning or something, burned up inside. Replaced it with a Reactor. Well the reactor is just that, reacts to everything, nothing but garbage. It is only running three hours a day with an hour pause between detection. Might as well be off.

So I get a new Deceptor max 2.0 whatever. It behaves a lot like the reactor. 90% garbage photos. It clicked off 100 photos between the time I put it up and got to checking it in the app.

But stealth is not alone. After my gen 3 update I have 3 L series cuddes out of 20 that are now just clicking away at the slightest breeze. Did some trimming which seemed to help, but they do seem more sensitive after the update. These just so happen to be my most critical cameras.

I'm am thing of making masks for IR sensors that narrows the FOV?
 
A lot of the cams I've had have a sensitivity setting. I'm guessing you've played with that?

Yes, I need to play with it on the cuddes since the gen3 though. I learned not to touch on the gen2, and never needed to.

I turned the stealth Deceptor to low, and it's much improved but nothing like my first Deceptor. There is a branch that needs to come down on that one, hopefully it helps. But the reactor has nothing in front of it but road. It's never been worth a crap. I think it's design for wide open fields with bare ground.


Well sob, I just checked one of the problem cuddes and it was set to high1. I thought everything was set to optimal.

So cudde is off the hook and I can focus on stealths.

The "deceptor" seems to be shaping up. I seem to be getting less garbage now. I am not sure if maybe just the wind is less or if it has some sort of adaptive sensitivity or delay like cuddebacks.

The reactor is still a pile of hud during the daytime. I guess the name fits.
