I also have a stealth cam and dont have ne problems w/ it. the 99 reading on ur LED screen is a counting feature that the stealth cam has. After the 24 or 27 or w/e pics are taken thecamera rewinds and goes back to 0. then everytime the camera is tripped, it counts iti've had it goas high as 35 after i had afull roll of film. As for yits not going off idk u saidu have it set up only a few feet away... is there any way to set it up farther? i usually set mine about 7 or 8 ft from my target area and about 2 1/2 ft off the ground. hope this helps
