Mounting Your Camera
1.
Mount camera between 3-4 feet off the ground; raise the camera up to as high as
8 feet off the ground if needed to avoid blowing grasses/branches.
2.
Face camera north if possible - Too much sun can cause false triggers and wash
out images.
3.
Use high-quality batteries – For best performance and longest battery lifespan, we
recommend Energizer ultimate lithium or Panasonic Eneloop rechargeable.
4.
Mount on a sturdy tree approximately waist height
5.
Tips for travel corridors
1.
Increase PIR sensitivity: PIR > Sensitivity > High
2.
Reduce exposure time: Cam > Night Mode >Min Blur
6.
Avoid
1.
Branches and grass blowing within 15 ft.
2.
Heat sources like lakes, big rocks, driveways
7.
Brighten Your Night-Time Photos - Try to have trees, grass, or other objects in the
background to reflect the infrared light produced by the camera to get brighter
photos.
8.
Stay undetected - Hang on a big tree to minimize “profile” visibility; wipe down
with a field wipe after handling; and minimize how often you visit your camera
9.
Make sure your SD card is formatted FAT32. All of our cameras some with a pre-
installed, pre-formatted SD card. This tip only applies if you replace our SD card
with one of your own.
