Default Moultrie Spy 4.0

Does anyone have a problem with the time changing on the camera after you set it up? Only had it 4 weeks and set it up on a feeder twice and got 250 images the first time and 180 the second time but each time it will have the right time for only about 2 days. The pictures are okay but the time is always off by like 5 hours each time.Gonna call Moultrie soon but was wondering anyone else had this problem.Some might like to know that a fresh set of batteries is down to 30% ,with that amount of pictures taken.Happy Hunting

mine had the same problem. i think it gradually fell behind. after a couple weeks I was getting pictures that were stamped with 4am and the sun was over the trees.

I sent my back to Moultrie because my camera was losing about 5 hours over a week's time and they gave me a new one and I'm crossing my fingers that this one does keep the time correct.Will keep everyone posted.

Hey Spencer the new Moutrie Spy 40 operates on D batteries and does not have a watch battery for the time. I think the older ones and maybe some of the others might but not this one. I really wish it did , seems like it would be an easier fix?!
