Under the test mode, one useful function you would like is testing the work area of the
Pyroelectric Infrared Radial (PIR) sensor, specifically the sensing angle and distance. To perform
the test:
First strap the camera on a tree aiming the region of interest (ROI).
Walk slowly from one side of the ROI to the other parallel to the camera. Try different
distances and angles from the camera.
If the Motion Indicator flashes red, it indicates the position you located is detected by
the right PIR sensor. If the Motion Indicator flashes blue, it indicates the position you
located is detected by the left PIR sensor. When Motion Indicator both flashes red and
blue ,it indicates the position you located is detected by overlapping area of left and
right PIR sensors, it is the region where camera is ready to shoot.
Through the test, you can find the best place to mount the LTL ACORN camera. In general, it is
recommended to place the camera 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) above the ground.
To avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances, please do not aim
the camera at a heat source (i.e. the sun) or nearby tree branches and limbs. The ideal direction to
aim at is North or South. Also, remove any limbs close to the front of the camera.
