2.5 Enter Live Mode
Switch to the ON position to enter the live mode. The Motion Indicator will
flash red for about 10 seconds and the camera starts working. When the
animal or human comes into the main PIR area, the camera takes pictures
or videos immediately. If the animal enters side PIR areas, the side PIR
sensor will be activated, if it keeps entering into main PIR area, the camera
will shoot, but if the animal left from the side PIR area, the camera will power
off and enter sleep mode.
2.6 Advantages of Prep PIR Sensors
In general, the Infra-Red camera is in “sleep” mode to save battery power
with only the PIR sensor working. When the animal is detected by the PIR
sensor, the camera will be powered on and prepare to shoot. The time
period from being activated to shooting picture is called trigger time. The
trigger time varies from different scouting camera brands on the market,
generally from 1 to 5 plus seconds. Our LTL ACORN Infra-Red scouting
camera has an impressive 0.8 seconds trigger time. If the animal passes
across very quickly, the slow speed camera (which trigger time is 1-5
seconds) may only capture the part of the body, or even nothing at all. So for
the trigger time: the shorter, the better.
With LTL ACORN unique side prep PIR sensors design, our LTL ACORN
Infra-red camera solves this problem ideally. The two side prep PIR sensors
and the main PIR sensor form a 100° angle of induction range which is far
over the 55 ° lens angle. When the animal first crosses the PIR area of the
side PIR sensor, the camera is activated and ready to shoot. If the animal
keeps entering the area of the main PIR sensor, the camera will take picture
immediately to catch the whole body of the animal. This process could be
short as 0.2 seconds.
If the animal enter into the area of the side PIR sensors only, such as
stopping to eat grass, the system is designed to work as following ways to
avoid the camera being powered constantly: If the animal does not enter the
