Mounting
Important
When mounting to a tree, first
latch the 2 bungee cords
through the mounting holes on
the left or right side of the
camera. Then, stretch the cords
around the tree and latch the
other ends of the bungee cords
through the mounting holes on
the opposite side of the camera.
1.
Once you connect the camera to your computer via the
USB cable/ports, the camera will then draw power from
the computer. When completing the viewing, transferring,
copying or deletion of images, please make sure that you
DISCONNECT THE USB CABLE FROM BOTH THE CAMERA
AND THE COMPUTER, as you will not be able to power the
camera OFF until you do so.
The directions as contained herein assume that you are
using a Microsoft operating system and not Linux or a
Mac-based operating system. Even said, there may be
slight variations in your process based on the specific
version of the operation system that you are using as well
as the predefined user preference for each computer. The
below listed steps are to serve as a guideline and may
have to be slightly modified based on the specific
operating system and preference as on your personal
computer.
TIPS:
Recommended distance from target area is 25-30 feet
for optimal imaging quality.
To improve the quality of your images, try not to mount
the unit facing the rising or the setting sun in order to
avoid direct sunlight into the camera lens.
If mounting to a feeder unit or dusty environment, be
sure to clean the camera lens cover, incandescent flash
cover, and the PIR sensor cover on a regular basis.
Periodically check the mounting of the camera to insure
it is not loose.
Make sure that you securely latch the door closed each
and every time you use the unit, as the moisture seal will
not be activated unless closed properly.
Check batteries frequently to insure no corrosive
build-up, as this may cause harm to the camera.
Retrieving Images
(SD Card in Camera)
Method 1: Leave SD card in camera
A.
First, make sure that the camera is
powered OFF. Next, plug the USB cable into
the camera and then into the USB port on
your computer. Once this is complete (in
this order only), then power the camera ON.
B.
Once complete, your computer may
automatically launch “AutoPlay”, a window
recognizing a new Removable disk (the
camera).
C.
If so, it should give you three selections:
1.
Import pictures
2.
View pictures
3.
Open folder to view files
D.
Select the method from the list provided
that best suits your requirements. Once a
selection is made, you can then view the
images located on the SD Card and manipu-
late them as needed.
E.
If your computer does not automatically
launch the AutoPlay window recognizing
the Removable Disk (the camera), then you
will need to go to the “Start Menu” at the
bottom left of your screen and select “Com-
puter”. The summary view will then be
illustrated on the right hand side of the
window where the “Devices with Remov-
able Storage” will be listed. The computer
will recognize the camera as Removable
Disk. Please select Removable Disk
from this menu (or double click on the
graphical icon).
F.
This will then direct you into the SD
Card file folder. Images are in the MEDIA
folder.
G.
Once open, you will then see all of
the photo files that are located on the SD
Card. Select each image individually to
view. The default viewing browser for
your computer will then automatically
launch.
H.
Repeat for viewing all or other
photos.
I.
If you determine that you want to
delete the image, select the image by
placing your cursor on it and clicking
your mouse only once. Right click on
your mouse and select delete. This will
delete the image permanently, so be
absolutely sure you want to do this
before selecting delete.
TIP:
The software drivers necessary to
use and view the camera are automati-
cally downloaded to the computer when
you connect your camera to the
computer via the included USB cable.
