MOUNTING AND POSITIONING

Mounting

After you’ve set up the camera’s parameters to your personal preferences at home or in your truck, you’re ready to take it outside and slide the power switch to “ON”. When setting up the Trail Cam for scouting game or other outdoor applications, you must be sure to mount it in place correctly and securely. We recommend mounting the Trail Cam on a sturdy tree with a diameter of about 6 in. (15cm). To get the optimal picture quality, the tree should be about 16-17 ft. (5 meters) away from the place to be monitored, with the camera placed at a height of 5-6.5 ft. (1.5~2 m). Also, keep in mind that you will get the best results at night when the subject is within the ideal flash range, no farther than 45’ (14m) and no closer than 10’ (3m) from the camera.

There are two ways to mount the Trail Cam: using the provided adjustable web belt, or the tripod socket.

•Using the adjustable web belt: Fig. 5 illustrates using the web belt on the Trail Cam. Push one end of the belt through the two brackets on the back of the Trail Cam. Thread one plastic buckle part onto each end of the belt. Fasten the belt securely around the tree trunk by clicking the buckle ends together after tightening the belt so there is no slack left.

•Using the tripod socket: The camera is equipped with a socket on its back to enable mounting on a photo tripod or any mounting accessories with a standard1/4-20 thread.
