MOUNTING AND POSITIONING THE
Trophy Cam HD
Mounting
After you've set up the camera's parameters to your personal preferences at
home or in your truck, you're ready to take it outside and slide the power switch to
"ON". When setting up the Trophy Cam HD for scouting game or other outdoor
applications, you must be sure to mount it in place correctly and securely. We
recommend mounting the Trophy Cam HD on a sturdy tree with a diameter of
about 6 in. (15cm). To get the optimal picture quality, the tree should be about
16-17 ft. (5 meters) away from the place to be monitored, with the camera placed
at a height of 2.5-3.5 ft. (0.75~1 m). Also, keep in mind that you will get the best
results at night when the subject is within the ideal flash range, no farther than 45'
(14m) and no closer than 10' (3m) from the camera.
There are two ways to mount the Trophy Cam HD: using the provided adjustable
web belt, or the tripod socket.
Using the adjustable web belt: Fig. 5 illustrates using the web belt on the
Trophy Cam HD. Push one end of the belt through the two brackets on the
back of the Trophy Cam HD. Thread the end of the strap through the buckle.
Fasten 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 with a
standard1/4-20 thread.
