BEST PRACTICES
Motion sensors (PIR sensors) are actually heat and motion sensors.
This is why on a hot and windy day, people get false triggers. People
and animals are not the only objects that will trigger your camera;
vegetation and precipitation can act as a moving target as well.
1. Be sure to clear any low hanging tree branches, brush, and weeds
from the field of view, 5-10 yards in front of the camera.
2. Motion sensitivity recommendations:
• Set to High to start, and decrease sensitivity if you’re getting too
many false triggers.
1. Location and placement are critical for best camera performance.
2. Avoid hanging the camera on small trees that are prone to moving
with the wind.
3. Place the camera about waist height (3.5-4 feet) on the tree or post.
4. Use small sticks to adjust the angle of the camera, about 7 to 15
degrees pointing down
5. To achieve the best lighting conditions, face your camera north.
Always avoid facing your camera toward the sun.
6.
If the camera is placed too high on a tree and angled down, the field
of view “window” becomes much smaller, so this is only a good
plan if you have a spot they are going to come to like mineral or a
scrape.
