Video Length 

(only affects 

video clips in 

Video or Hybrid 

modes)

10S

 (second) 

default, with 60S 
to 5S possible 
range

Sets length per captured video 
clip. Settings begin with 10 second 
default when parameter is first 
selected. After stepping down to 
5S, video length settings start over 
at 60S. 

Interval

10S

 

(second) 

default, with a 

60M (minute) 

to1S (second) 

range of settings 

available.

(60M-1M are set 

in one minute 

increments, 

59S-1S are set 

in one second 

increments)

Selects the length of time that the 
camera will “wait” until it responds 
to any additional triggers from the 
PIR after an animal is first detected 
and remains within the sensor’s 
range. During this user set “ignore 
triggers” interval, the camera will not 
capture photos/videos. This prevents 
the card from filling up with too 
many redundant images. Settings 
begin with 10 second default when 
parameter is first selected. 

Note: after 

setting down past “1S”, settings start 

over at “60M”.
