Default Too Cold?

My cam doesnt seem to work when temps go below about 32 degrees. I suspect its the batterys are failing because of the cold, but not sure. I can bring it inside and let everything warm up and everything starts working fine again. Anyone else have this trouble?

Sounds like my Wildview , put a 12 volt on it and that helped some but when it gets below 30 I pull it in .

That is common with non rechargeable batteries. The internal ingredentsare slowed by temperatures when it gets cold. When they warm up such as in the afternoon they recoverthe strength. I use NIMH batteries they are made up different an last a lot longer in the cold weather.
