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

Camera Setting
We suggest the following Sony
• 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.
