7.In normal operating mode, the display will only show the still photo or movie clip icon in the lower left corner, the day or night mode icon, an SD card icon on
the lower right, and one or more digits that indicate how many photo or movie files have been stored on the card.
To test the camera operation, wave your hand in front of the lens and PIR (passive infrared/motion) detector, while looking at the LCD display. Every time an “event” is detected, the display will indicate “Plr”, “EVNT”,
“rECd” in turn, and the event is recorded on the SD card as a new line in a text file, including the date and time of the event. 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 “Plr”, “SnAP”, then “SAVE”. Note: for movie clips, the display will stay on “SnAP” for the 14 sec duration of each movie.
8.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
60second 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.
