call CS asap. Have them take a look at the cam.
when I set mine (i have multiples of all the Edge Gens), to only send bucks, I still get a few does. but it does cut way back on pics sent.
I've had two cams in the field for 11 months on Alkaline and I'm still above 50% on battary. veryfew pics from Dec -May because no deer there but still got random weeds blowing, birds wind, so operational the whole time. Hundreds of pics over that time so you've got something wrong. They'll help you if you call. Maybe even warranty a bad cam.
I think somethings wrong with yours, Let us know.
