Activating the Camera
Slide the power switch to
On
. The screen will display 4 dashes
(
119326C
),
or the PIR test countdown
(
119318C
)
, then go blank. The camera is now
in “sleep” status. When the PIR sensor is triggered by motion and heat,
it will take the first photo (or video). As long as the animal stays within
the PIR sensor’s detection zone
(see diagram)
and generates additional
triggers, the camera will continue to capture images, with the frequency
determined by the trigger delay time you have set. After the last trigger
event, the camera will return to sleep mode.
Testing the Coverage Area
One of your trail camera’s most useful features is the ability to test the
coverage area. This can be done with the camera in the Setup Menu.
After mounting the camera, open the front housing and turn the
•
power on. Press the
Setup
button to enter the Setup Menu .
Set the PIR sensitivity switch (H/M/L) to your preference, based on
•
ambient temperatures in the area.
The PIR indicator light below the LED array (
•
119326C
) or within the
LED array (
119318C
) will blink when you have entered the sensor’s
detection zone (coverage area).
Adjust the camera position as needed and repeat the test until the
•
desired coverage area is achieved.
Exit the Setup Menu by pressing
•
Setup
when you are finished using
the test mode-the camera will be “sleeping” and waiting for the PIR
sensor to trigger the first photo or video capture.
