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
evening when game movement is at its peak.
Use one of the Covert mounting systems to mount the camera up higher pointing down on them for a better
look. This also works great when you do not have a straight tree to attach to. You can find our line of mounting
systems at: www.covertscoutingcameras.com.
The FW version is reference to our engineers to ensure a speed and efficient warranty repair should the need
arise.
