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 

Prime L20 Trail 

Camera 

for scouting game or other outdoor applications, you must 

be sure to mount it in place correctly and securely. We recommend 
mounting the 

Prime L20 Trail Camera

 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 3.5-5 ft. (1~1.5 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 100’ (30m) and no closer than 10’ 
(3m) from the camera.
There are two ways to mount the Prime L20 Trail Camera: using the 
provided adjustable web belt, or the tripod socket.
Using the adjustable web belt:

 illustrates using the web belt 

on the Prime Trail Camera. Push one end of the belt through the two 
brackets on the back of the Prime 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.

Restore Default Settings (initialize camera setup)

The display will show “dEFN”. To return the Interval, Capture Mode, and 
Camera ID# to their original, “factory default” settings, use UP/DOWN 
to change the “N” after “dEF_” to “Y” (Yes), then press OK to confirm. 
Note: your time and date settings and camera ID# will not be changed 
from their current settings to the original defaults, and your SD card will 
not be formatted. Only the Interval and Capture Mode settings will be 
restored to their defaults.
