camera so as not to block the camera lens or PIR sensor.
To mount the camera in place, insert the strap through the strap slots on
the rear housing. Wrap the strap around the mounting surface. Secure
the strap and tighten the buckle in order to secure the camera.
Make sure that both of the camera's latches are securely locked in place,
to ensure proper weather resistance.
2. Power On the Camera
If both SD card and batteries are good, the camera will begin taking
photos 10 seconds after you move the switch to "ON", whenever it is
triggered by the PIR sensor's heat/motion detection. Each time the PIR
sensor is triggered, the camera will take a new photo following a 10
second delay. For the first three minute of operation, the PIR indicator will
glow for about 3 seconds when it senses animal or human activity within
the PIR coverage area. See "Test the Coverage Area" below.
3. Test the Coverage Area
One of the Trail Camera's most useful features is the ability to test the
coverage area.
• After mounting the camera, open the front housing and slide the
Power switch to the "ON" position.
• The PIR indicator LED below the lens will glow for 3 seconds when
you trigger the PIR by entering the coverage area.
• Adjust the camera position as needed and repeat the test until the
desired coverage area is achieved.
• After three minutes, the PIR indicator will not glow when you are
in the coverage area (to avoid being seen by animals or potential
thieves. The camera is now "sleeping" and waiting for the PIR sensor
to trigger the an image capture.
• Maximum PIR sensor range is approx. 13 meters (42 ft).
