help with trail camera

[crsides]

My trail camera quit on me. I got a new SDHC card but it is not working. Do you have to format these cards before using in a trail cam?

I've got about 48 trail cams. Never had one that I had to format the memory card to use with the camera.

What brand and model camera are you using?

You might want to look the camera you have up on line if you no longer have the manual...some of these cameras have a reset button or otherwise can be reset. That said, if you have a Primos...throw it in the trash can and go buy a different brand. Primos is junk with a capital J.

I will check the brand this week. Both were left on the property by a fellow hunter that passed away two yrs ago. We have used them successfully until recently.

I live in a damp climate and every once in a while I have to bring one in and let it dry out for a few days and then it works just fine. I use the Bushnell Trophy cams and about half of them go bad after 4 years.

Check the manual. What is the capacity of the new SD card? Some of the older cameras only accept a 2 or 4 GB card.
