CAMERA DEPLOYMENT
Align the 1/4 by 20 threads of the T-Post mounting bracket to the camera
mounting port. Thread the mounting bracket no more than three complete
rotations into the camera mounting port. Then tighten using the adjusting
nut.
NOTE:
Forcing external threads to the bottom will damage the camera
mounting port and the camera housing.
WARNING!
Never mount the M.I.N.E.™ Cam on the same T post securing
a trap panel or severe damage may result. Always mount the M.I.N.E.™
Cam on a separate 8 foot long T post at least 12 to 24 inches outside the
trap enclosure. Lower the square collar at a diagonal over the T post spine
and studs, then lower into position between two studs. Insert the mounting
wedge between the T post spine and square collar. Install the thumbscrew
into the 1/4 by 20 threads on the mounting wedge. Tighten the thumbscrew
against the T post spine to secure the camera mount.
Users are able to receive a wider field of view by mounting the camera at a
higher elevation. Lower the square collar at a diagonal over the T post spine
and studs, then lower into position between two studs. Insert the mounting
wedge between the T post spine and square collar. Install the thumbscrew
into the 1/4 by 20 threads on the mounting wedge. Tighten the thumbscrew
against the T post spine to secure the camera mount.
When mounting using the higher elevation method, it is easier to attach the
booster antenna (if needed) to the camera while on the ground. Remove
the standard antenna from the camera’s antenna port. Carefully thread the
booster antenna cable to the antenna port and tighten. Slide the rubber
waterproof boot over the booster antenna cable connector.
Drive a second 7 foot long T post into the ground approximately 12 inches
to the right and rear of the camera T post to attach the antenna pole. Secure
the 8 foot long T post with camera to the 7 foot long T post using zip ties.
The higher camera elevation will allow the booster antenna to exceed 20 feet
by elevating and securing the telescoping pole to the T post with zip ties.
Standing on a step ladder, align the M.I.N.E.™ Cam by loosening the ball
head set screw and centering the camera’s view to the ground beneath the
feeder legs. Tighten the ball head set screw to secure the camera’s position.
If possible, set up the camera so that no large trees or objects are in the
main field of view of the camera. As it can adversely affect motion detection
as well as night time flash range.
