Building a trail camera

In the photos below, Figure 7 and Figure 8 we show a completed trail camera system using a camo dipped Pelican 1020 case (note: Pelican will be selling Pelican 1020 and 1040 camo dipped cases in a Mossy Oak pattern in 2006). In this example we are using a PixController LE board with the LE II PIC chip in Sony S40 mode. The Sony S40 board setting are the same for the Sony DSC-S600 (both in the LE and Universal PixController boards). This layout uses a 9V battery holder w/ on-off switch, which can be purchased from the www.pixcontroller.com web site.

Camera Setting

We suggest the following Sony DSC-S600 setting for maximum trail camera performance:

• Red Eye Reduction: Off		• Setup Camera in “Program Mode”
•	AF Illuminator: Off	•	ISO 1000 (brightest night photos)
•	Auto Review: Off	•	Picture Quality: Fine

•Beep: Off

•Set your Date/Time

The shutter time from PIR motion event is under 2 seconds for this camera, and if setup in ISO 1000 mode you will get a flash range beyond 40 feet.
