Have you calibrated it to the light in the room you are using? We had a similar problem. We had everything working and we went out into one of the hallways in our school to test it and it wouldn't work. We brought out a work light from home depot and turned it on. This made the camera recognize the vision tetra. Basically, what I am saying is, try to keep lighting conditions at a constant, this could be why it isn't working
