WildlifeCam User Guide

The key to taking great photos and videos 
is proper mounting and placement of the 
WildlifeCam. One reason the WildlifeCam 
captures such unique images is that it can be 
positioned very close to wild animals without
frightening them. Most WildlifeCam photos 
are taken within three feet of their subjects. 
We designed the WildlifeCam so that it can 
be mounted many different ways. Take a 
moment to learn more about mounting your 
WildlifeCam properly, and you will quickly see 
improvement in your images.

Basic Principles

1. Stability -

 Mount the WildlifeCam securely 

so that it does not move. It should never be 
hung from above or mounted to an object 
that moves in the wind. If the WildlifeCam is 
moving, it will cause the motion sensor to 
trigger incorrectly.

2. Lighting - 

As with all cameras, it is best to 

avoid aiming the WildlifeCam at the source of
light (for instance, the sun). Ideally during 
daytime, position the WildlifeCam so it is 
facing its target, e.g. a bird feeder, but facing 
away from the sun.

On the Ground

Set up is simple, even on the ground. Just 
position your WildlifeCam directly on the 
ground. If you’re concerned about it falling 
over, use the included Stretch Cords to secure 
the WildlifeCam to the base of a tree, a post, 
or other solid feature (a brick works great).
