STEP 3 – Setting up Capture
Turn the Rotary Switch to:
1.
Time
position, press A to set hour and B to set minutes.
Time is AM/PM format.
2.
Date
position, press A to set month and B to set date.
3.
Year
position, press A to go back and B to go forward.
STEP 4 – Attaching Capture to a tree
1.
Attach Capture to a tree with the supplied strap.
2.
We recommend mounting Capture about 3 feet off the ground.
3.
Best image quality will be obtained if you position Capture about
10 to 15 feet from where animals are expected.
4. Capture can detect animals that are right in front of it out to 50
feet or more. Detection range will vary greatly with air temperature,
animal size and movement speed.
5. Remove any vegetation and obstructions from the Capture’s field
of view that may interfere with the motion sensor or camera.
6. Aim and align the Capture as required. The Capture’s TEST feature,
as explained next, can assist in this process.
STEP 5 – Test mode is used to check
Capture’s detection zone
1.
Turn the rotary switch to
TEST
.
2.
Close the cover and completely tighten the thumb screw.
Detection range will be very short if the cover is left open.
3.
Walk in front of Capture. The RED LED will illuminate when
you are detected.
4.
When you are satisfied that Capture is aimed correctly, proceed
to Step 6.
STEP 6 – Arming Capture
1. You must arm Capture before it will record any images. Turn the
Rotary Switch to one of the 5 ARMED settings.
2. These settings represent the amount of time Capture will idle after
taking a picture before it will rearm itself to be ready for the
next picture.
a.
30 Seconds – game trails
d.
15 Minutes – feed stations
b.
1 Minute – scrapes
e.
30 Minutes – feed stations
c.
5 Minutes – food plots and feed stations
3. When Capture is initially armed, the delay
setting will be displayed on the LCD.
4. After 5 seconds, a countdown will be
displayed, starting at 40 and counting down
toward 0. When this counter reaches 0,
Capture is armed. This gives you time to
leave the area without triggering an image.
5. After an image is taken, Capture will display a
Countdown timer that represents your
armed setting. This allows you to determine
if the Capture is armed and how long before
it will be rearmed if it is idle.
STEP 7 – Checking Capture
To retrieve Capture images
1. Loosen the thumb screw (and remove padlock if installed).
2. Open the cover (numbers may or may not be displayed on the LCD).
3. Press the A key.
4. The number of images saved will be displayed on the LCD.
5. Wait until the green LED goes off before removing the SD card!
To rearm Capture
There are 3 ways to rearm Capture:
1. If the Rotary Switch is still in one of the
armed positions, you can close the cover
and leave. Capture will automatically
rearm itself within 10 minutes.
2. If the Rotary Switch is not in one of the armed positions, turn the
rotary switch to one of the armed positions to rearm the camera.
3. If the Rotary Switch is in one of the Armed positions and the
camera is not armed, you can arm Capture immediately by
pressing the A key until the delay setting is displayed.
STEP 8 – Viewing images
There are various methods of viewing Capture images.
CuddeView Field Viewer:
Cuddeback’s CuddeView 4-in-1 viewer will allow
you to view images, copy the images to a CF card, erase the images from
the SD card, and then put the original SD card back into Capture. CuddeView
allows you to use one CF card to record images from multiple cameras.
See www.cuddeback.com for more information on CuddeView.
Personal Computer (PC or MAC):
Replace the SD card with a fresh SD card
and take the original SD card with you to view on your PC or other device.
Digital Camera:
You can view the images with an optional viewer or a point-
and-shoot camera that is able to read Capture images (NOTE: not all SD-based
cameras can view Capture images, please test any camera before purchasing).
Using Capture without SD card
When Capture is used without an SD card, images are stored in Capture’s
internal image memory. Capture features an internal memory of about 30 MB.
This may allow storage of up to 100 images. Images can be transferred from
internal memory to an SD card.
If you use the Capture without an SD card, follow these steps to transfer the
images from the internal memory to an SD card.
1.
Turn the Rotary Switch to OFF, and wait until the LCD goes blank.
2.
Wait until the green LED turns off and then install an SD card.
3.
Turn the Rotary Switch to any other setting, such as Set Time.
The green LED will turn on.
4.
When the green LED turns off, (NOTE: You may need to wait up to 3 minutes)
the images have been copied from the internal memory to the SD card.
DO NOT REMOVE or INSTALL the SD CARD WHEN THE GREEN LED IS ON.
6. Remove the SD card and/or press the A key to see additional data.
Here is a list of additional data that will be displayed as you press
the A key:
