Question 8

The service is for the cloud use as well so your camera must be active to view the cloud. Make sure you save any pics you want to keep before suspending your device.

Question 9

Do I pay my Covert Wireless plan monthly or is it auto renew?

Accepted Answer

The plans automatically renew unless you suspend the device before the renewal date.

Question 10

My Covert Wireless account says it is SUSPENDED and I am not getting pictures.

Accepted Answer

Most often, you need to update your credit card information. You will need to contact support at 877-462-1799 or support@dlccovert.com and we will look into the issue.

Question 11

What happens if I go over the data allowed on my account?

Accepted Answer

If you reach your photo limit before the monthly allotment, you will need to replenish your account by clicking the replenish button on the app or web-portal.

Question 12

The battery life on my wireless cameras are not lasting as long as I'd like.

Accepted Answer

Put your cameras on at least a 4-hour delay under the remote control setting. This allows the wireless module to enter a “sleep-mode” for a longer period of time. (We run our cameras on a 24-hour delay here at Covert and they've been out in the field for over two months.) You will continue to receive pictures when the camera is triggered by heat or motion, you just will only be able to do the settings changes or real-time control every 4-hours (or every 24 hours if you choose the 24-hour delay, etc.)

Question 13

How do I stop service during off season?

Accepted Answer

Click suspend next to the camera you are wanting to shut off, or click the red X to take it off the account completely. You are able to stop the wireless service by logging into https://secure.covert-wireless.com/login.php and choosing one of two options under My Services and Equipment.
1. Click the word ACTIVE to SUSPEND the line to the camera.
2. Click the red X next to the camera's ID number to DEACTIVATE the camera from the account. When you are ready to use the wireless feature of the camera again, you simply login to your existing account and re-add the device under My Services and Equipment.
