of time by pressing the DOWN key to select "B" (Step 4), then press OK and
follow the same process to set Start and Stop times for Field Scan block "B"
(Step 5). As an example of how you might use these two available time blocks,
you could setup Field Scan time block "A" for the dawn hours from 6 AM to 8
AM, and block "B" to capture images between 5:30 and 7 PM. No Field Scan
recording would occur from 8AM to 5:30PM, or from 7PM to 6AM.
6. After setting Start/Stop times to define Field Scan block "A" and/or "B", press
OK, then press the UP or DOWN key to select "Interval" and press OK (Step
6). The Field Scan "Interval" setting lets you control how often a photo or video
clip is recorded during the block(s) of time you defined with the Start and Stop
settings. Your options are 60 minutes, 30 minutes, 15 minutes, 5 minutes (this
is the default), or 1 minute (still photo mode only). Use the UP/DOWN keys to
select your preference, then press OK to save it (Step 7). Note that for videos,
"Interval" is independent of the Length of each video recording-it's how often
videos are recorded, not how long each one lasts.
7. Here's an example of how the camera would operate, based on the following
Field Scan settings:
Field Scan: On
Field Scan A:
[Start]: 6:00
[Stop]: 8:00
Field Scan B:
[Start]: 17:30
[Stop]: 19:00
Interval: 15M
These settings would cause the camera to capture a photo (or video, if the
camera is set to that mode) once every 15 minutes, beginning at 6 AM, until the
Field Scan "A" recording block stops at 8:00 AM. Later that day, the camera
would again take a photo or video every 15 minutes between 5:30 PM and
7:00 PM (during Field Scan time block "B"). The next day, the camera would
again record an image or video once every 15 minutes between 6:00 and 8:00
AM, and between 5:30 and 7:00 PM. No Field Scan recording would occur
from 8AM to 5:30PM, or from 7PM to 6AM. Remember, Field Scan recording
is independent of normal triggers due to animal activity–even if no animals enter
the IR sensor coverage zone, an image or video will still be captured every 15
Note: avoid any "overlap" of Field Scan A & B
recording blocks when setting their start and stop
times, to assure correct operation. Also-if the "Camera
Mode" menu parameter is set to "Day" or "Night"
operation only, that will take priority over your Field
Scan settings. Set the Camera Model to "24 HR" if
you are setting both day and night start and/or stop
times in Field Scan.
