Using the camera
Advantages of PIR sensors (Passive
Infrared Sensors)
In order to save on battery power, an infrared camera is
normally in Standby mode in which only the main sensor
is active. As soon as the central sensor zone detects wild
animals, the camera is switched on and starts taking photos.
The time between the activation and the start of shooting is
referred to as triggering time.
Where wild animals do, however, move past the camera
swiftly, it is possible that the photo only shows the rear part
of the body or possibly nothing at all. The MAGINON WK 3 HD
solves this problem due to the unique design of the lateral PIR
sensor zone. The combination of the two lateral sensor zones
and central sensor zone produces a 100°-120° induction
angle, by far exceeding the angle of an individual sensor.
Where wild animals first pass through the detection range of
the side PIR sensor zone, the camera is activated and is ready
to start shooting after 1.0 seconds. Where the wild animal
then slowly enters the detection range of the central sensor,
the camera starts shooting and thus records the entire body
of the animal. This process takes approx. 0.2 seconds.
Where the wild animal remains only within the detection
range of the side sensor zones, the system is designed as
follows to prevent the permanent supply of power to the
camera:
Where the wild animal does not enter the detection range of
the central sensor zone and thus does not trigger the sensor,
the camera returns to the Standby mode after 5 minutes.
Where triggering incidents occur twice in succession only
within the detection range of the side sensor zone, the
camera is not activated by the side sensor zone but only
by the central sensor zone. At a later stage when the wild
