I bought a couple of their smaller truth cams last year and one didn't work right out of the box. They ended up replacing it with the blackout. It did seem to eat the batteries faster than my little ones. My blackout is way too sensitive though. It takes thousands of pictures of nothing even though I have the sensitivity supposedly turned down to least sensitive. I would send yours back and get something different. I don't think they will take mine back.That is the same complaint I have about the Bushnell trophy cams. I have 3 and love them but they are almost to sensitive.

However, something is wrong with your camera if it drops to 50% in one week. I have a Truth Cam 35 and a 46, and based on that I would expect they you should be getting at least 6 weeks out of a set of batteries, and possibly up to 12 weeks.
I would definitely send it back. If you bought it at Wal Mart or Cabelas they are both good at accepting returns. Let us know how it works out.

I have ran my new Primos camera for 3 weeks now. It is the 7.0 megapixal truth cam blackout. I have now put 2 sets of 4 NEW "D" batteries. They last one week and then when it gets to about 50% my batteries go dead and the cam shuts off. :bash: :bash: I used Duracell, this time Energizer. I am about to call Primos, but wanted to check to see if I am doing something wrong, has anyone else had the same issue? Am I doing something wrong?
I had one do the same thing. Took it back and bought a moultrie

Are your setting set up where your draining the battery more becasue its taking its max pics or videos. I have a wildgame innovation that did the same thng so i changed the settings from snapping 4 or 5 pics at once to only taking 2 pics at a time when its set off, and not letting it take video cause that will drain the batteries quick. Also i read if most of your pics are at night with the IR lens, that wioll drain your battery faster to cause it takes alot to make those IR lens to perform at its max. :twocents:

Oh, and the only thing I can think of that you might try before sending it back, is to try a different sd card. Some cameras are picky and certain brands or types of cards can cause issues like you are having.
New batteries and SD card purchased and installed yesterday. I will wait a week and see what happens. *Fingers crossed*

Matty- No I have the settings on cam only, no vid. Most pics were during the day. I have it set to take the least amount of pics per trigger. I think its 3. Everything as low as possible.
:sry: :dunno:

Dont be. At least you tried.
Did you contact Primos yet or are you gonna wait and see what the new card does?
Going off of Bobcat's suggestion, Im going to wait and monitor for a week. Should I send them an email?
