Sensing Angle And Distance Test - Primos 65064M User Manual

MOUNTING AND AIMING THE CAMERA
Mounting
After the setting the camera's time/date and other options to your preferences, you're ready to take it
outside and begin capturing images of animals in the area you want to monitor. When setting up the
Primos Mug Shot Trail Camera for scouting game or other outdoor applications, you must be sure to
mount it in place correctly and securely.
There are two ways to mount the Primos Mug Shot Trail Camera: using the provided adjustable web belt,
or the tripod socket.
Using the adjustable web belt: Push one end of the belt through the two brackets on the back of the
Primos Mug Shot Trail Camera. Thread the end of the belt securely around the tree trunk by pulling the
end of the strap firmly so there is no slack left. Note: it is not possible to use a cable lock (in the upper
part of the bracket) and the web belt at the same time.
Using the tripod socket: The camera is equipped with a socket at the bottom end to enable mounting
on a tripod or other mounting accessories that use a standard 1/4-20 thread.

Sensing Angle and Distance Test

To test whether the Primos Mug Shot Trail Camera can effectively monitor the area you choose, this test
is recommended to check the sensing angle and monitoring distance of the Primos Mug Shot Trail Camera.
To perform the test:
l Switch the camera's Power Switch to AIM. You can ignore the Setup display, no need to change any
settings (provided you already set the time/date and other Setup Mode options in advance).
l Make movements in front of the camera as several positions within the area where you expect the
game or subjects to be.
Try different distances and angles from the camera.
l If the AIM/Status LED blinks, it indicates that position can be sensed. If it doesn't blink, that position
is outside of the sending area.
The results of your testing will help you find the best placement when mounting and aiming the Primos
Mug Shot Trail Camera. The vertical height away from the ground for placing the device should vary with
the animal size appropriately. In general, 3 to 6 feet is preferred.
You can avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances in front of the camera
by not aiming it at a heat source or nearly tree branches and brush (especially on windy days).
Switching On the camera
Once you move the Power Switch to ON, the AIM/Status LED will blink for several seconds (10 seconds
countdown). This gives you time to close and lock the front cover of the Primos Mug Shot Trail Camera
and then walk away. During this time, the AIM/Status LED will blink continuously. After it stops blinking,
the PIR sensor is active, and any motion that is detected by it will trigger the capture of photos or videos
