Installing Batteries And Sd Card; Setting Up; Attaching The Unit To A Tree - Cuddeback Ambush Operating Manual

Step 2 – Installing Batteries and SD Card
1) Turn the rotary knob to the OFF position.
2) Loosen the battery thumb screw and open the
battery compartment door. Install 8-AA alkaline or
8-AA lithium batteries. Lithium batteries will
provide longer battery life and better night IR images.
Make sure to observe correct polarity. Close the
door and tighten the thumb screw completely.
3) A series of numbers displayed. These are the Ambush
camera's hardware and software version numbers.
4) Wait until the LCD display goes blank and the
green and red LEDs are off.
5) Install your SD card. Be sure to observe the correct
polarity with clipped corner on the card to the right.

Step 4 – Attaching Ambush
1) We recommend you first try your Ambush
at home.
2) For optimum detection of deer-sized animals we
recommend mounting Ambush
off the ground (this is about waist high to slightly
higher).
3) For best image quality, install Ambush
15 feet from where animals are expected. Ambush
will detect animals at distances from directly in front
of the camera to about 25 feet. Note that detection
distance varies greatly with air temperature, animal
size, and the speed the animal is moving.
