Quick Start Setup
For normal operation, Poacher Catcher requires no adjustment or settings to be altered.
Poacher Catcher should be positioned about
1,5M (5ft) above the ground so that the front
face is within line-of-site of the area to be
covered. The detector must be able to ‘see’ the
area to be monitored with no obstructions or
coverings over the sensor tube.
The typical operating range of the detector is up to about 10 meters with a viewing angle of
approximately 12 degrees.
1. Position Poacher Catcher about 1.5M above the ground. You may mount Poacher
Catcher horizontally or vertically: whichever gives the best result in your specific
situation.
2.
Make sure that the sensor tube is clear of obstruction and is aligned in the direction that
you want to monitor.
3.
Poacher Catcher can detect intruders up to 10M away but keep in mind that sensitivity
depends on the size of the ‘body’ and speed of movement. Poacher Catcher is most
sensitive to bodies moving ACROSS the field of view rather than towards or away.
4.
Even if Poacher Catcher detects an intruder, it can only send you an alert of there is a
mobile network signal present. Make sure that there is a reliable signal for your chosen
network in the area you are going to use the detector.
5.
When you turn Poacher Catcher on there is a 2 minute delay before the system
becomes active. This is to allow you ample time to escape from the detection area
without causing an alert.
6.
Poacher Catcher is NOT waterproof. If you are going to use Poacher Catcher
outdoors, make sure that it is protected from rain, snow or spray from adverse
weather conditions. We recommend mounting Poacher Catcher inside an open-
fronted bird-box or similar, to both disguise the device and give appropriate
protection.
