I have had this happen to me and all I had to do was adjust the angle some of the mount of the camera. If it is only triggering at 4-5 feet I would think in is pointed to much down. Try to angle it up some. Just a thought.
The biggest issue with the plot watcher is no night time pictures. And I have to replace batteries every 4 days, and if the deer is moving across the food plot the pictures are blurry.
I do not think the perfect camera is developed yet.
