8.2. SENSING ANGLE AND DISTANCE TEST
To test whether the camera can effectively monitor the area you
choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing angle and
monitoring distance of the camera
.
To perform the test:
Switch the camera to the
SET
mode.
Make movements in front of the camera at several positions
within the area where you expect the game or subjects to be.
Try different distances and angles from the camera.
If the motion indicator LED light (RED light) blinks, it
indicates that position can be sensed. If it does not blink, that
position is outside of the sensing area.
NOTES: RED light for
PIR monitoring, BLUE light for taking photos or videos.
The results of your testing will help you find the best placement
when mounting and aiming the camera
.
The height away from the
ground for placing the device should vary with the animal size
appropriately. In general, 3 to 6 feet is preferred.
You can avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and
motion disturbances in front of the camera by not aiming it at a
