It's a wireless wildlife camera we have set up in a hedgehog box in the garden that's the problem. The picture keeps rolling and the camera supplier has suggested we try changing the channel, he says it could be picking up interference from other wi fi connections.
OH has suggested we leave well alone as he's worried that we'll end up regretting it. Neither of us are all that clued up on technology. :o(
The supplier has sent instructions on how to change the channel and it doesn't read particularly easy to do but I am tempted to give it a go.

Changing the channel is pretty straight forward, but you could download and install netstumbler on your laptop, run it and it will tell you what channels all the surrounding networks are using (take the laptop for a walk and check by the camera too) then you can pick a channel that is not used.
