CAMERA OPERATION
Once your camera has been setup, you are ready to begin using it to
capture photos of wildlife activity in the area you choose to locate it. Just
follow these steps:
Mounting the Camera
It is recommended that you mount the camera about 4 or 5 feet
•
(1.2~1.5 meters) off the ground, with the camera pointed at a slight
downward angle. It’s best to avoid mounting the camera facing
east or west as the rising and setting of the sun could produce false
triggers and overexposed images. Clear branches and other debris
away from the front of the camera so as not to block the camera
lens or PIR sensor.
To mount the camera in place, insert the strap through the strap
•
slots on the rear housing. Wrap the strap around the mounting
surface. Secure the strap and tighten the buckle in order to secure
the camera.
Make sure that both door latches are securely locked in place, to
•
ensure proper weather resistance.
Activating the Camera
Press the
POWER
button
(119233C)
or slide the switch to
ON
(119225C)
.
The camera will be in “sleep” status after it has been powered on. When
the PIR sensor is triggered, it will start to take photos immediately after
the delay time (as set) has passed. When the camera is triggered and
captures a new image, the display will indicate “SnAP”
(119233C)
or the
total number of photos now stored on the card
(119225C)
. It will return
to sleep mode soon afterwards
(display indicates “SLP” on model 119233C)
waiting for the next trigger.
On model 119233C, the trigger delay time is fixed at 30 seconds (no
images will be captured more frequently, even if sensor is triggered). On
model 119225C, the trigger interval can be adjusted from 5 seconds to 10
minutes in the Setup Menu.
