Sensing Angle and Distance Test
To perform the sensing angle and monitoring distance of the camera test:
•
T
oggle the power switch to SETUP
and you will notice that the front-facing lens will show you what the camera lens is
'seeing'. This will assist you in aiming the camera.
•
Make movements in front of the camera at several positions within the area where you expect the object will be. Try
different distances and angles from the camera.
•
If the red indicator LED light blinks, it indicates that your position can be sensed.
•
If it does not blink, your position is outside of the sensing area. The results of your testing will help you find the best
placement when mounting the camera.
7 Mounting tips
Mount the camera approximately 1.4m off the ground
facing straight forward as level as possible. For instance,
place the camera
7m-10m from a field edge facing the
woods. If positioning the camera in a bushy area,
position it facing a thicket approximately 7m-10m away.
Don’t face directly towards light sources as
this may result in
'white-out' / over-exposed footage.
In some instances, using the forest for reflection can
add more light to your target area.
Recording short video clips is a good way of
minimising the effect of night-time 'motion-blur'
images if the subject is moving briskly past
the camera. It provides a constant light
source.
