Another socket, on the back of the camera, is also provided for accessory
mounting devices.
Two optional accessories are also available: a Deluxe Tree Bracket (#119652C)
that attaches to the tripod socket, and a Solar Panel (#119656C) supplemental
power source that connects to the "DC In" jack.
Sensing Angle and Distance Test
To test whether the WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD can effectively monitor the
area you choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing angle and
monitoring distance of the WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD. To perform the test:
• Switch the WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD to the SETUP mode.
• Make movements in front of the camera at several positions within
the area where you expect the game or subjects to be. Try different
distances and angles from the camera.
• If the motion indicator LED light blinks, it indicates that position can be
sensed. If it does not blink, that position is outside of the sensing area.
The results of your testing will help you find the best placement when
mounting and aiming the WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD. 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).
Switching ON the Camera
Once you switch to the ON mode, the motion indicator LED (red) will blink for
about 10 seconds. This gives you time to close and lock the front cover of the
WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD and then walk away. During this time, the motion
indicator LED will blink red continuously. After it stops blinking, the PIR is
active, and any motion that is detected by it will trigger the capture of photos
or videos as programmed in the SETUP Menu. Be sure you have read the
descriptions of the Capture Number, Video Length, Interval and Sensor Level
parameters. Please note, the PIR is strongly sensitive to ambient temperature.
The greater the temperature difference between the environment and your
subject, the farther the possible sensing distance. The average sensing
distance is about 45 ft.
