Zeiss Secacam triggering on feeder

[PEM406]

I recently repositioned my Secacam 5 wide angle. First lesson learned: don’t point at open landscape or you get poor picture due to sunset or triggers from clouds (solved with adjusting sensitivity).

Question to anyone using these: anyone else had them triggering on a feeder like this? Plan is to move the camera again anyway so wondering, do I just avoid having the feeder in view at all, or is maybe because it’s so far away?

Thanks all

Is the feeder the thing in red box? If so, it's not triggered on the feeder but on the badger. It's just the AI thingy has detected something else in the photo an tried to identify it. The movement of the suns rays across the sensor can trigger them though so try and face North or be in shade if you can.

It’s also triggering when there’s nothing else there. I’ve found the AI flags in blue for one thing and red for the second. I will definitely move it to avoid sun, clouds and shadows

Side note it also doesn’t recognise muntjac. Had it tag them as fallow several times

I get what you mean. Something else triggered it then AI analysed it and tried to identify it. Sorry, didn’t think that through.

Yes, it always identifies Muntjac as Fallow
Never had it correctly identify a Muntjac.

Yes mines triggers off a strainer post a lot!

Looks so wrong
