PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor): Senses motion like a typical security motion
detector. Requires infrared energy (heat) in addition to motion to trigger
the sensor to help limit detection to live animals (rather than leaves, etc).
Xenon Flash: This is a standard electronic flash tube, which fires
automatically in low light conditions to provide adequate illumination.
Battery Life: Time that camera will function in the field. Dependent on
ambient temperature, number of images taken and number of times the
flash fires.
When the battery voltage drops below 4.5v, the flash stops
firing. When battery voltage is below 3.5v, the camera stops working.
FULL: When memory capacity (SD Card) is full, the LCD display indicates
“
FuLL
”
Mass Storage: Connect the USB cable to a computer, press the “MENU”
button, and the computer can access the contents of the SD card. The
camera is automatically recognized as an “external drive”, without the
need to install special drivers. (Win 98 and older operating systems are
not supported. Mac OS9 and OSX are also compatible-the camera will
appear on your desktop as an external storage device or “disk”).
