If you haven't done so, test your batteries with a digital meter. Any battery testing 1.0 to 1.2 volt, the camera will not function properly, or not at all. Even new batteries, fresh out of the package may contain a faulty one. When you checked your camera, the batteries may have recovered enough power to take a picture or two. Colder temperatures also effect batteries as they will not put out full power. If your camera takes AA (I'm not familiar with that brand of camera) going to Ultimate Lithium are expensive but good for cold weather. These test 1.79 to 1.83 volt. Another good brand is the Duracell Copper Top. These test 1.5 to 1.6 volt. Lithium does make "C" batteries which can be found doing a search on the Internet. I would not advise these in a trail camera as they are advertised at 3.6 volt each. The best of luck.
