Why doesn't my camera send night pictures? Why do night videos break off after a short time?

In general, neither case should happen. In exceptional cases, however, problems may occur with night videos or pictures if the batteries are no longer fully charged. The battery status is stored under the image/video on the right-hand side of each recording.

The background to this problem in both cases is that the battery voltage is too low. Since night pictures draw more than 1A (ampere - unit of amperage) because of the strong infrared LED illumination, the photo release may be aborted if the batteries are bad and/or almost empty.

If you use AA batteries, this problem is exacerbated by the lower output voltage.
