Part of my problem with the Hik is using Duracell batteries,I found using Aerocell from Lidl(I understand that they are made by Varta) battery life is much improved which is an opinion shared by several others when I researched it.Yep they’re very good. Decent batteries are a must though.
I found a site that said to avoid Duracell as there were issues with some trailcams. I’d been using them for a while and on my Zeiss they were lasting a couple of weeks. Have swapped to Energizer Ultimate Lithium on the Spypoint and after 3 weeks they are still reporting 100%. For the Zeiss with more traffic and videos I’ve rigged up a 12v battery I used for a pigeon magnet in a waterproof box (with some ventilation) and so far so good.Part of my problem with the Hik is using Duracell batteries,I found using Aerocell from Lidl(I understand that they are made by Varta) battery life is much improved which is an opinion shared by several others when I researched it.
The time will correct it self eventually but it may take a week or two.My first one was two hours fast for a while.i have a Zeiss Secacam 5 any tips on the best settings also i cant alter the time its a hour fast
I had the same issue with the Secacam 3 I bought last month.i have a Zeiss Secacam 5 any tips on the best settings also i cant alter the time its a hour fast
thanks for the info much Appreciated it actualy states the factory reset wont alter the time in The manual . time adjustment is currently disabled on my seacam 5 as you have statedI had the same issue with the Secacam 3 I bought last month.
I contacted Zeiss and this is the response I got from them:
You can try resetting the camera to factory settings, which may help with the time issue. Please note, however, that we are already aware of this problem in the system and are working on a solution. The manual time adjustment is currently disabled due to this.
We appreciate your patience while we resolve this issue.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
