Page 5: What You Will Need To Set Up Your Camera
What You Will Need to Set Up Your Camera Installing the Batteries Your WC30 can function short term on 6AA batteries. To function on 6 batteries, one full side of the battery case must have all 6 batteries installed, either the front or back of the case. Improved battery life on 8AA, but we suggest you use 12AA batteries to get the most out of your camera’s battery life. To remove the battery tray, open the front case of the camera and press the button in the bottom right corner, and the battery case will pop out the bottom of the camera. Install batteries by sliding the top battery into the sleeve, then depressing the spring with the other battery and snapping down in place. Pay attention to the (+) of (‐) molded into each sleeve to determine if you insert the positive or negative end into the sleeve first. The negative battery terminal (the flat end) always contacts the spring. Installing the SD Card Now that you have activated your plan, you will need to install an SD card in the right side of the camera. We recommend a Covert SD card. Other SD cards may work, but also use an encryption that may not be compatible with your camera. See below for card orientation. Push the card in until it clicks and release. To remove, repeat that process, the card will pop out enough to remove. You can use any SD card up to 32 GB.

Page 8: Work Period
Work Period Allows you to set multiple work periods (A/B) for your camera. When off the camera will function all the time. When ON, the camera will only function during the designated time periods. Time Lapse Set the work period and interval of your time scan. Set your work period to when you want your camera to function. Set your interval to how often you would like your camera to take an image. Interval options are: 1 min.‐ 59 min., 1 hour – 6 hours. Night Image On the night image screen, you will have three options to choose from Short Range, Fast, and Long Range. Short Range: The camera will dim the brightness of the LED’s when a picture is taken so the reflection off of the subject is not overly bright. Long Range: The camera will increase the brightness of the LED’s when a picture is taken so you can clearly see the subject of the image from a distance. Fast Mode: This mode will optimize the camera for when the subject of the image is moving at a quick pace. When in the mode, the camera will adjust the shutter speed to minimize motion blur. Sensor Level Adjust the sensitivity of your PIR sensor. Four options: Low, Normal, High, Auto. Low: The camera will only trigger from major movements Normal: The camera will trigger at a normal rate. High: The camera will take pictures whenever movement is detected. Auto: The camera will dynamically change the sensitivity based on the temperature around the unit. In cold temperatures, the unit will increase the sensitivity to optimize captures. In warm temperatures, the camera will decrease sensitivity to decrease the number of false triggers. As the temperature around the camera changes, warms up throughout the day, your sensitivity will change as well. Auto is our recommended setting. Password The password screen allows you to set a pin code to be able to change the settings of your camera. To set the password, select ON, then change the four‐digit PIN to a unique password that you will use to open the camera. Once the password is set, each time you go to the camera, you will be prompted to enter the PIN before opening the menu. If you forget your password, please contact Covert Scouting Cameras at support@dlccovert.com, call 270‐743‐1515 or use our online chat option to request an RA #. We require warranty registration to verify your camera. This must be completed within 10 days after your purchase. Proof of purchase will be required. 7 ... -
Page 9: Overwrite
Overwrite When overwrite is ON, the camera will delete the oldest pictures on the SD card when the SD card has reached its maximum storage capacity. Images that are recycled from the SD card that have already been transmitted to the app, will not be deleted from the app. If there are images you would like to keep that are sitting on your SD card, you will need to pull the SD card, and download them to your computer before they are recycled. Once an image is recycled from the SD card, they cannot be recovered. Wireless When you reach this screen, select ON to allow the camera to transmit images wirelessly. In the Covert Wireless App, you will also be able to turn off the transmission of images. This is useful if you have a branch or weeds that are continually triggering an image capture. Turn off the wireless transmission until you can go cut or trim what is causing your camera to take and send images. This is to help prevent the area around your camera from chewing up battery life or wasting your images. Send Mode Here you will find the ability to set when you would like your photos to be transmitted to the Covert Wireless App. When immediately is selected, when a photo is taken it will immediately be sent to the app. If daily or weekly is selected, your images from that day or week will all be transmitted at the same time to the app. Your daily or weekly transmission will be during the systems daily check in to the camera, usually around 2 AM central time. Format Formatting your SD card clears everything off the card. (It will delete any pictures that are stored on the card!) We recommend formatting your SD card every time before using your camera. Even if you have a new SD card, you should always format the card before you use it in the camera. Default This will return the camera to its factory default settings. Tricks and Tips on Field Setup For best results, mount the camera approximately three (3) feet off the ground facing straight forward, as level as possible. Be sure to adjust for uneven terrain. To enhance the flash, we recommend positioning the camera in an area with a backdrop to reflect the maximum amount of light. For instance, place the camera 20‐30’ from a field edge facing the woods. For inside of timber, positioning the camera facing a thicket approximately 20‐30’ away. Clear brush away from the front of the camera to avoid false triggers. Face the camera down a game trail, rather than directly at it, to cover more of the animal’s path. Try to set the camera up facing North or South to avoid overexposure from the sun in the morning or the ... -
