That's certainly strange and I offer no explanation. Did you walk in front of the cameras after you checked them, to determine if they're still detecting motion?

Cam angle maybe? sensor pointing above potential animals, a mistake ive made before.

i walked in fornt of them and it didnt take pics when i checked it on the 1st.. but the angle is good cuz its straight away from feed and only 4 ft high. and was takin good pics the 16th.... aliens are to blame i think haha

Just curious, How far apart in locations are the camera's and how camouflaged are they?

[Bucksnort73]

each one is about 2000 yrds aprt. private property. they are in hard places to find. i dont think anyone found them.

I was gonna say maybe someone walked up on one, and took it upon themselves to turn the cameras off or erase everything.   Maybe went on alittle scavenger hunt for the rest of them.

[Bucksnort73]

nope they were all ON. and most people would take the SD card rather than delete all the pics except the day i was there... or even steal the cams.. 

[huntnnw]

ive had many cams in cooler weather not take pics of moose,bear and deer standing right in front of them

[Bucksnort73]

ya maybe all the rain up there got to them or something

I see your from the north east could be you had some wolves in the area. that ran out all the game happened a lot to me when I hunted elk in Idaho.

Maybe the batteries are not as good as you think?

Well if you walked up to the camera and it didn't take a picture its the camera. Whats the duration between shots set to?

[Bucksnort73]

takes 1 picture every minute.. if it woulda been 1 camera i would understand the camera might be going tits up but 4 is alittle crazy

What has the temperatures been at?
 warmer temperatures tend to give poor performance.
the sensor is looking for a temperature change in motion as in a 60 degree day trip easily as a 85 degree animal passes by but when its 85 out it only picks up night time picture when the temp drop.
I'm not saying thats whats going on with yours but I get dead spell every year as it warms. I would try setting a few in shaded areas to see if you can get back on them or find places you expect them in the early morning / late evening.

I'm not  camera guy at all so don't slam me if I'm way off but 4 feet off the ground seems high. Unless a deer had his head up wouldn't it just pass under?
