Mounting and Positioning
Mounting
We recommend mounting cam on a sturdy tree with a
diameter of about 6 in. (15 cm). 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 fl ash range, no farther than 60‘ (19 m) and
no closer than 10‘ (3 m) from the camera.
There are two ways to mount cam: using the provided
adjustable strap or the tripod socket.
•
Using the adjustable strap:
Push one end of the strap through the two brackets on
the back of cam. Thread the end of the strap through
the buckle. Fasten the strap securely around the tree
trunk by pulling the end of the strap fi rmly so there is
no slack left.
•
Using the tripod socket:
The camera is equipped with a socket at the bottom end.
Sensing Angle and Distance Test
To test whether cam can eff ectively monitor the area you
choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing
angle and monitoring distance of cam. To perform the test:
• Switch cam to
SETUP mode
.
• Make movements in front of the camera at several
positions within the area where you expect game or
subjects to be. Try diff erent distances and angles from
camera.
• If emotion indicator LED light blinks, it indicates that
position can be sensed.
The results of your testing will help you fi nd the best place
where mounting and aiming the cam. The height from
the ground for placing the device should vary with animal
size appropriately. In general,3 to 6 feet is preferred. You
can avoid potential false triggers due to temperature
and motion disturbances in front of the camera by not
aiming it at a heat source or nearby tree branches or brush
(especially on windy days).
