Sensing Angle and Distance Test
To test whether the Trophy Cam can effectively monitor the area you choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing angle and monitoring distance of the Trophy Cam. To perform the test:
•Switch the Trophy Cam to the SETUP mode.
•Make movements in front of the camera at several positions within the area where you expect the game or subjects to be. Try different distances and angles from the camera.
•If the motion indicator LED light blinks, it indicates that position can be sensed. If it does not blink, that position is outside of the sensing area.
The results of your testing will help you find the best placement when mounting and aiming the Trophy Cam. The height away from the ground for placing the device should vary with the animal size appropriately. In general, 3 to 6 feet is preferred.
You can avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances in front of the camera by not aiming it at a heat source or nearby tree branches or brush (especially on windy days).
Switching ON the Camera
Once you switch to the ON mode, the motion indicator LED (red) will blink for about 10 seconds. This gives you time to close and lock the front cover of the Trophy Cam and then walk away. During this time, the motion indicator LED will blink red continuously. After it stops blinking, the PIR is active, and any motion that is detected by it will trigger the capture of photos or videos as programmed in the SETUP Menu.
