CAMERA OPERATION
Once your camera has been setup, you are ready to begin using it to capture photos of wildlife activity in the area you choose to locate it. Just follow these steps:
1. Mount the Camera
It is recommended that you mount the camera about 4 or 5 feet (1.2~1.5 meters) off the ground, with the camera pointed at a slight downward angle. It’s best to avoid mounting the camera facing east or west as the rising and setting of the sun could produce false triggers and overexposed images. Clear branches and other debris away from the front of the camera so as not to block the camera lens or PIR sensor.
To mount the camera in place, insert the strap through the strap slots on the rear housing. Wrap the strap around the mounting surface. Aim the camera at the area you wish to observe. Secure the strap and tighten the buckle in order to secure the camera.
Make sure that both door latches are securely locked in place, to ensure proper weather resistance.
2. Test the Camera
To test the camera operation, power on the camera and wave your hand in front of the lens and PIR (passive infrared/motion) detector, while looking at the LCD display. As long as events are being detected, a new still photo or movie clip (as set in the menu) will be recorded every 30 seconds, indicated on the display by “SnAP”, then “SLP” (Sleep).
Note: in Video Mode, the display will stay on “SnAP” for the duration of each video clip.
The red LED lamp (PIR Indicator) on the front of the camera can help you determine how large an area is covered, as it will flash anytime an “event” is detected while the camera is in MENU mode. To check the coverage
