My dad and I have a cuddeback camera and every once in awhile in goes alittle haywire. It does take a little time to get used to it and once you figured it out its a piece of cake. We mostly had our problems when it was very cold outside in late season when the batteries wouldn't function right. Also are there any branches in the way if so cut them because the wind blows the branches and sets off the camera leading to nothing in the picture.
