There may be other issues but the original poster LIC64 has written that the PIR interval is min59 sec01 which I assume means that it will stay idle for nearly an hour before being able to be triggered again.

Try putting a much shorter PIR interval in, min05 sec01 then it will be available to catch new images much more regularly through the night.

Assuming the model bought accepts them I would always recommend that people getting into these types of cameras buy 2 sets of rechargeable batteries and enough chargers to recharge a full set while the other set is in use.

I have 2 chargers each taking 4 batteries each so I can charge a full camera’s worth of 8 batteries at a time. I now have 4 sets of 8 rechargeable batteries as I have 2 cameras though I’m doing less recordings with 2 at the same time now.
