My cams just showed up. went to eject the Dominion to install batteries and it will not come out. Push eject and it releases but will not come out. Has to be something simple that this old fart cant figure out. Help

Press and hold while you grab to pull out.  I had one that was a little tight at first and I had to use my knife to give a little assistance as a pry bar.  It will loosen up.  Also.....when you go to release them after the batteries are in them, you need to hold the button till the light turns green.  You push the button and you will hear a click, hold it till the light turns green and you hear another click...that is the unit releasing.

One think I really like about these cameras is they are tough.  I was super afraid the failure point would be the in / out of the brain and the connections failing....but I have ran 2 of them now for 2 years and they still work amazing.  I run mine 365 days a year so they are out in all weather conditions.  I have since bought 10 more...so I have 100% faith in this camera and love the quality and ease of use.

Picked up two after seeing this post… set them up overnight on the front porch and caught some critters moving around… pictures look good… headed out this weekend to check some other sets…I’m gonna put these guys out too… cautiously optimistic but feeling good about these cams… I like how you can view the screen in the field and edit the photos…
Thanks for the heads up…

If you set these cams to video mode you better check every 6-8 weeks depending on animal traffic. They are terrible in video mode on batteries. Be cool if you could use an external battery.

That’s good to know.  How long are your videos?   I’ve ran them for two years and just this spring set one on video.  Gonna get the cards tomorrow.   

When on camera mode the batteries last forever.  Easily 8-12 months depending on activity.

Well retrieved the camera and thought the video's were pretty amazing.  It was up for 6 week and took over 100 10 second video's and used 15% battery life.  I can imagine if it was in a heavily traveled area, it would burn batteries pretty fast....but to have to look at hundreds or thousands of video's would make me crazy so I will use camera mode in areas that don't get heavily traveled and picture mode everywhere else.   :chuckle: :chuckle:  Just going through the 100 or so videos took forever. 

Here are a couple videos.

Anyone want to make their money back on their bog camera deal?
I bought three, thinking that would be enough…well, I need one more as I walked up on 4 critters I really want to keep an eye on over the next month.

Has anyone had any issues with the bog cameras not working well in rain and snow?
Specifically west side blowing rain and snow. Reason I ask is I don’t see a way to adjust the sensitivity, the blowing rain and snow triggers it.also the rain and snow blurs the pictures, the only solution I can think of is to put a half a plastic jug over the top to keep the rain from hitting the lens. All my other cameras have a larger camera lens hole so it doesn’t grab the water as easy.
Wonder if anyone else has had this problem.
Any suggestions?
Love the cameras other than that.
