I have not tried that yet, but I did call tech support yesterday, the guy told me to take the camera out and take a pic manually and see if it clicks, see if the guard comes down for the color pic, he said that even tho the sun is out and its obviously bright sometimes the cameras dont sense it and I might have to move camera in a brighter place, I got to thinking, I have it in a lock box screwed to the tree, I wonder if the lock box might be blocking the sensor??????? I sure hope not, cause if it wasn't for that lock box I wouldn't have a camera, I have a 7ft black bear and two cubs that have already tried to damage it ;-(
