STEALTH CAM Problem

[lemond33]

my cam is showing that it is taking pics. i never hear the film advance, but the number increases....is the noise from the cam that low. when i put the film in it advances, but i do not think that the motor is advancing when there is a movement caught. what can i do??? what might be the problem???

I would like to know the same thing... I just my StealthCam and after having it in the woods for three days I found out that you can't use Fuji film as the camera doesn't advance it. I found this out on the Cabela's website. WHen I brought the cam in to replace the film half the film was advanced and didn't want to come out of the cam! SO, I wasted whatever photos were on that film! Well, now I have Kodak (as they recommend) and we'll see what happens. By the way, even though I had half a roll of film exposed the counter was still on 1 - go figure......

The type of film could be the problem as others have stated but I have used non-Kodak film on more than one occasion without any problems. On the other hand, is the "counter" reading "0" after loading the film...or does it read "E"? If it reads "E" then it will still record events but will not advance the film. This can be simply corrected by attempting to reinstall the film until the teeth on the inside roller grab the film.

Hope this helps.
