Are not all sd cards made the same way? Never had any problems switching different brands back and forth.

Here is another interesting note. On tests performed, this unit tends to work better with duracells instead of energizers. Conclusion, duracells are recommended.

RE: Scout Guard SG 550. Next Best Camera?
I had a sg 550 for 5 days now and it takes great pics during the day but after dark shots are not good at all. I have it set on 3 pics per shoot and one out of 3 are great but the other 2 are as if the flash is not going off. I have a white water bucket about 5 ft from the cam and most pics the bucket is not viewable. I contacted my seller and he told me to raise the cam higher. I will try tonight but will see. First night a had it I put it on the dresser. Apparntly I like to kick my feet and throuw the blankets off alot during the night. The last pic s was about 2 hours after it was setup and it too was black as if the flash didn't go off. In the morning I got up and walked by it several times and no pics were taken. As soon as the unit was moved to the kitchen the cam started to work welll again.
Any ideas. |

RE: Scout Guard SG 550. Next Best Camera?
do you have the camo version or the green? Something with the chemical in the camo dip might have been released in the packageing and fried a few things on the cuircuts. Call HCO and tell them and they will probly have you send it in and send you a new one or fix yours. Its worth a try.

RE: Scout Guard SG 550. Next Best Camera?
You probably will not have to send the unit in. A firmware is coming out sometime during the week which should correct about 90% of the issues and video.:)
By the way, I have these at 199.00 for the solid greens and 209.95 all with free shipping ;) Stay tuned for that firmware............. Joe |
RE: Scout Guard SG 550. Next Best Camera?
Ok, the new firmware is in!:) It is version 2.0 and will fix glitches previously noticed in these units. You can download it here:
http://www.huntingcamonline.com/services Orders placed for this will have this version in it so it should be trouble free. This will be the cam to beat! Joe BBO And the award goes too......................[8D] |
