Setup Guide (cont.)

9. Thread the strap through the slots on the back of the Sentry and attach the buckles, then strap it onto a suitable tree, making sure the strap is tight and the camera is aimed at the area you wish to observe. The red LED lamp on the front of the camera can help you determine how large an area is covered, as it will flash when an “event” is detected. Turn on the camera (make sure a new or empty SD card has been inserted) and leave the area-there is a 60 second delay after power on before the first photo is taken. Batteries typically last 30 days or more, depending on how often the Sentry is activated by events, how often the flash fires, ambient temperature, etc. The red LED lamp will stay on continually to

indicate a low battery condition.

10. Pressing the Up/Down buttons during normal operation will switch the display between showing # of photos stored (j) and # of events recorded (k). To view your captured photos, make sure the power is off, and remove the SD card by pushing down lightly on the top edge of the card-it will pop up for removal. Insert it into an SD card reader (available

at most computer, photo, or electronics dealers) connected via USB to your PC or Mac to view, copy, or delete the

photos (standard JPG files) and movies (AVI files) inside the “DCIM/100MEDIA”

 

 

folder on the card. Double click on an individual file to see it, or open the files using

 

 

the photo software of your choice. The event log is the .TXT file, just double click

j

 

to view with your default software that opens standard plain text files. If you do

 

 

 

not have a computer, or would like to more easily view your photos in the field, we

 

 

recommend the Bushnell Trail Scout Viewer. It is battery powered, and features 2

 

 

 

 

SD card slots, allowing you to easily copy photos to a larger capacity card, or delete

k

 

unwanted photos, as well as view your Sentry photos on its large color LCD display.

 

 

 

The Trail Scout Viewer also has a USB port, so it can function as a card reader for a

 

 

computer as well.

 

 

 

 

Note: (Night Vision models only): setting the date and time on your camera is imperative for the unit to function properly, so that images captured in both day and night will have the best possible appearance. If the date and time are not set up correctly, the automatic IR (infrared) filter will remain in the “off” position until the date and time are set, causing daytime images to appear somewhat pink.
