They do this for sure. The two wires running from the controls to the batterys will come loose on one side due to it being to short. I have tried resoldering with no luck. However.... they still work with an auxillary battery. And I have come to love the auxillary batteries. No changing the entire season using a typical 12volt corn feeder batteryIve had 3 the last two years. I like the pic quality, but they are all in the trash can now. They would not power up. One was replaced while under warrenty. Replacement and other cameras caught the same death. I would not recommend.
I bought 2 of those same cameras at Dicks back in the summer when they were half off for $49.00.I was really impressed with the quality night pics for a cheap cam.They have the 01's(green) at Dicks for 30 dollars after the mail in rebate.
