MOUNTING & POSITIONING
After you’ve set up the camera’s settings to your
preferences, you’re ready start capturing images.
We recommend mounting the camera on a sturdy tree or
post with a diameter of about 6”. To get the optimal picture
quality, the camera should be about 16-17 ft. away from the
place to be monitored, with the camera placed at a height of
3.5’ to 5’. 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 60’ and no closer than 10’ from the camera.
The height away from the ground for placing the device
should vary with the 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).
There are two ways to mount the camera:
•
Using the provided adjustable belt
: Push one end of the belt
through the two slots on the back of the trail camera. Thread
the end of the strap through the buckle. Fasten the belt
securely around the tree trunk by pulling the end of the strap
firmly so there is no slack left.
