Tasco 119234 instruction manual Glossary

GLOSSARY

PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor): Senses motion like a typical security motion detector. Requires infrared energy (heat) in addition to motion to trigger the sensor to help limit detection to live subjects (rather than leaves, etc).

Camera Delay: Time elapsed between photos while events are sensed and recorded. You should set this based on wildlife activity in the area.

Moon Phase: The trail cams have a feature which imprints a moon phase stamp on each photo for reference.

IR Flash: Also called IR LED Array. This is a “night vision” feature, which emits a burst of infrared light, invisible to the human eye. Especially useful for night photos when a visible flash may be undesirable.

Battery Life: Time that camera will function in the field. Dependent on ambient temperature, number of images taken and number of times the IR flash fires.When the battery voltage drops below 4.5v, the IR flash stops firing. When battery voltage is below 3.5v, the camera stops working.

Single/Multi-Image Modes: The number of pictures the camera takes per PIR trigger (still photo capture mode only).

1P: A single image is captured for each PIR trigger

3P: A three image sequence captured for each PIR trigger

FULL: When the SD card’s memory capacity is full, the LCD display indicates “FULL”

Mass Storage: Connect the camera with a USB cable to a computer, press the “SETUP” button, and the computer can access the contents of the SD card. The camera is automatically recognized as an “external drive”, without the need to install special drivers. (Win 98 and older operating systems are not supported. Mac OSX is also compatible-the camera will appear on your desktop as an external storage device or “disk”).
