Thanks guys. I appreciate it. I guess the manual rewind really isn't manual then. I'll try putting the camera in the test mode, replace the batteries, and hit the rewind button if needed. I really doubt if the battereis will be any good after four weeks. Actually, I did read the instructions, butinstructions are not always written in my language.
We went with this camera as a trial type thing. I am most concerned of having the cameras ripped off. It's on my land, and the land is posted. Only problem is that I don't live there. And if the camera goes off on someone walking by, I really doubt if it will be there long, even if it is locked on to the tree.
