Using the tripod socket :
The camera is equipped with a socket at the bottom
end to enable mounting on a tripod or other mounting accessories with a
standard 1/4-20 thread.
Sensing Angle and Distance Test
To test whether the
KeepGuard Cam
can effectively monitor the area you
choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing angle and monitoring
distance of the
KeepGuard Cam
. To perform the test:
•
Switch the
KeepGuard Cam
to the
SETUP
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 blinks, it indicates that position can be
sensed. If it does not blink, that position is outside of the sensing area.
The results of your testing will help you find the best placement when mounting
and aiming the
KeepGuard Cam
. 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 heat source or nearby
tree branches or brush (especially on windy days).
Switching ON the Camera
Once you switch to the
ON
mode, the motion indicator LED (red) will blink for
about 10 seconds. This gives you time to close and lock the front cover of the
KeepGuard Cam
and then walk away. During this time, the motion indicator
LED will blink red continuously. After it stops blinking, the PIR is active, and
