So I have had my camera for a couple of weeks.  I've been using it and having very little trouble. Just basic learning issues for placement and settings.  Tonight I have been having it lose its mind!  The camera has turned off motion detection on its own.  The scheduling is correct, the icon is just red.  So I manually went in and put it on as all on.  Nope it stayed red.  It isn't recording anything.  So I go outside and try it.  It records me walking in front of it, just not cars going past.  We have someone who is vandalizing property around here and suspect that he is going to strike this weekend.  It is about time for him.  We would love to catch him on camera, it would sure be nice if the camera was working!

 

Any suggestions?

If you mean the "running man" icon is RED, The Icon goes red on the screen when the camera is recording.

 

You can try and change the settings, but it will not change until complete ( to my knowledge ) so thats why nothing happen, esp if you turned them all on.

 

Easiest thing to do is reset the camera by opening the battery door and wait 10 secs, then reclose and allow it to sync back up to the base...
