CAMERA DEPLOYMENT
Align the ¼” by 20 threads of the T
-Post mounting bracket to the camera mounting port. Thread the mounting
bracket no more than three complete rotations into the camera mounting port. Then tighten using the adjusting
nut.
Note:
Forcing external threads to the bottom will damage the camera mounting port and the camera
housing.
Warning:
Never mount the camera on the same T post securing a trap panel or severe damage may result.
Always mount the camera on a separate 8 foot long T post at least 12 to 24 inches outside the trap enclosure.
Lower the square collar at a diagonal over the T post spine and studs, then lower into position between two
studs. Insert the mounting wedge between the T post spine and square collar. Install the thumbscrew into the ¼”
by 20 threads on the mounting wedge. Tighten the thumbscrew against the T post spine to secure the camera
mount.
Users are able to receive a wider field of view by mounting the camera at a higher elevation. Lower the square
collar at a diagonal over the T post spine and studs, then lower into position between two studs. Insert the
mounting wedge between the T post spine and square collar. Install the thumbscrew into the ¼” by 20 threads
on the mounting wedge. Tighten the thumbscrew against the T post spine to secure the camera mount.
When mounting using the higher elevation method, it is easier to attach the booster antenna (if needed) to the
camera while on the ground. Remove the standard antenna from the camera’s antenna port. Carefully thread
the booster antenna cable to the antenna port and tighten. Slide the rubber waterproof boot over the booster
antenna cable connector.
Drive a second 7 foot long T post into the ground approximately 12 inches to the right and rear of the camera T
post to attach the antenna pole. Secure the 8 foot long T post with camera to the 7 foot long T post using zip ties.
The higher camera elevation will allow the booster antenna to exceed 20 feet by elevating and securing the
telescoping pole to the T post with zip ties.
Standing on a step ladder, align the camera by loosening the ball head set screw and centering the camera’s view
to the ground beneath the feeder legs. Tighten the ball head set screw to secure the camera’s position. If
possible, set up the camera so that no large trees or objects are in the main field of view of the camera, as it can
adversely affect motion detection as well as night time flash range.
Move the selector switch from OFF to SETUP. The screen will display “Searching Network”. The camera has
successfully acquired a cellular signal when the service provider’s initials appear on the display and signal
strength is showing 1 bar or more. Conduct a test photo to ensure all settings are correct, after you receive the
test photo, move the selector switch from SETUP to ON. Close and latch the camera within 30 seconds before
the Ambient Light Sensor LED stops blinking green and the PIR triggers a photo. The camera is now operational
and active.
(Optional) Secure the 6 volt external power supply to the camera mount with the battery bracket. Open the
camera DC external battery port and insert the battery cable plug into the camera for extended, long-term
operation.

Send a picture to your cell phone to ensure the camera is positioned and programmed correctly, the feeder is
centered and the entire gate opening is visible.
