For the first month, the camera seemed to work fine, and recorded quite a number of videos for me. shortly there after it stopped recording videos of the deer that I am trying to capture, and even though everything was correctly set in the camera, it would never record any more wildlife. after many repeated attempts at readjustment of all of the features, and, including making sure the batteries were good, and the SD card was formatted, the only thing it would record is me walking in front of it. The infrared sensor had nothing to do with it, because it would record me at night, but none of the deer that I had seen out there and there are a lot. I wrote to the manufacturer in China and they gave me a number of suggestions on how to make it work, but I had already done those things about three times. They finally relented, And gave me a refund. I must say that their customer service stands behind their product. Unfortunately, I was looking for a camera that would work for more than one month, And now I have to start shopping again.
