  • Page 3: Camera Overview

    Camera Overview Congratulations on purchasing a RECONYX® camera. RECONYX® has been the leader in digital wildlife cameras since 2002. Your MicroFire™ camera is a state-of-the-art digital camera, Passive Infrared (PIR) motion detector and a night time illuminator, all contained in a secure, rugged and weather-resistant case.

    In addition to camera locations, you can add food plots, tree stands and more. The RECONYX® Mobile App also enables you to easily upload and share your RECONYX® photos to Facebook® and Twitter®.

  • Page 5: Batteries & Memory Cards

    Batteries & Memory Cards Your RECONYX® MicroFire™ camera runs on six AA-cell batteries. We highly recommend using either Energizer Ultimate Lithium™ batteries or high-quality ® NiMH Rechargeable batteries in your camera. Alkaline batteries do not provide as much power as Lithium or NiMH batteries, they are adversely affected by both hot and cold weather and are not recommended.
  • Page 6 A Micro Secure Digital (SD/SDHC) card is used to store the pictures your camera captures. These images may be transmitted to your mobile device using the RECONYX Mobile App. Inserting and Removing memory cards Make sure the orientation is correct and that the card is aligned properly. Push gently on the memory card as shown below until it clicks into place.
  • Page 7 Memory Card - File System Requirements Secure Digital cards have various speeds and capacities. Larger capacity cards are capable of storing more images. Your MicroFire™ camera can accept cards up to 32GB. Cards with higher speed ratings (Class 10 or Higher) are recommended for reading and writing images faster.

    Mount (shown below). Simply screw the mount into a tree or post and then install the camera using the threaded insert. Loosen the ball mount to adjust the camera aim. For added security, our MicroFire™ Security Enclosure can be used with a Python™ Cable Lock by MasterLock®.

    1) Secure the camera to a tree or other object aiming the camera toward where you want it to capture pictures. 2) Using the RECONYX® Mobile App, select “CHECK AIM” to put camera in Motion Sensor Test mode. 3) Walk in front of the camera where you expect to capture pictures. Every time the green WalkTest light blinks it indicates that a motion event is taking place.

  • Page 11: Image Data Information

    Image Data Information Your RECONYX® MicroFire™ camera stores Image Data in every picture it takes. Some of this information is displayed on the Image Data bands above and below the image.  An M or T in the top data band indicates a “motion” or “time-lapse” event.

    1-866-493-6064. Firmware Updates You may see updates available in the RECONYX® Mobile App to update your camera’s firmware. We periodically release firmware updates with new features and/or performance enhancements. Updating firmware on the MicroFire™ Series cameras takes just a few seconds and is well worth the effort to ensure your camera is performing at the highest level possible.

  • Page 14 If you have issues, you may want to try a different brand of memory card. We have found that some of the less expensive memory cards are very slow and do not always run well (even if they are advertised as fast). RECONYX® certified memory cards are available at www.reconyx.com...
