Page 11: False Triggers & How To Avoid Them
False Triggers & How to Avoid Them The PIR sensor is not infallible. It has been designed to use the absolute minimum amount of power possible, which does lead to false triggers occurring in some locations. False triggers occur whenever the PIR sensor “thinks” it detects motion when, in fact, there is no motion to be detected (or, at least, no movement you want to be detected). -
Page 12: Tips & Tricks
Tips and Tricks What can I use the OutbackCam for? The short answer: How many things can you think of? The longer answer: With the exceptions of illegal activity (such as recording people in certain environments without their knowledge - check the law in your locality!) or exposure to extreme environments (such as strapping it to a submarine or space shuttle or filming a roast dinner from inside the oven) just about anything. - Page 13 What are the best kind of batteries to use? The best choice of battery depends on your individual needs. Typically, we recommend alkaline batteries with the highest milliampere hour (mAh) rating possible. mAh is a measurement of how much power a battery contains, whereas the volt (V) measurement is a measure of how much of that power it will release at a time.
