DELAY
The BirdCam uses this setting to avoid taking too many images of
one bird, depleting battery power quickly, and/or consuming memory
capacity quickly.
In AUTO mode, use this setting to control how often the BirdCam looks
for activity. When the BirdCam ‘wakes’ from a delay in AUTO mode, it
will look for animal movement until either movement is detected or the
photocell forces it into NIGHT mode.
In TIMELAPSE mode (WSCA02 only), use this setting to adjust the time
interval between photos (or videos). When the BirdCam ‘wakes’ from a
delay in TIMELAPSE mode, it will immediately take photos (or videos)
and then re-enter a delay.
Notes about DELAY:
• NO DELAY option – This specialized option is intended for
advanced users. It will drain batteries faster and possibly result
in an increased number of empty images without birds.
• Long delays settings – Long delays (4HR, 6HR, DAILY) may not
produce good results when used to photograph birds. These
values are most appropriate for TIMELAPSE* photography of
weather, plants, or other subjects that change over time. The
DAILY value activates the BirdCam 1.5 hours after dawn
each morning.
