CAMERA PROGRAMMING

The G45NGMAX features six distinct modes of operation: OFF / Q1 / Q2 / Q3 / CUSTOM / TEST. Each setting is activated based upon the position of the switch on the inside of the unit.

OFF – This position completely powers down the unit.
Q1 – This is the first Quick Set programming mode. When the camera is changed to the this mode, the display screen will give a digital read out of how the camera is preprogrammed. It will scroll across the display as follows:
PHOTO...8.0MP...30 S DELAY...3 PHOTO BURST
With this setting the camera is preprogrammed to take photos at 8.0MP resolution, a 30 second timeout delay between activations and takes a burst of 3 photos every trigger activation.
Q2 – This is the second Quick Set programming mode. This setting is preprogrammed to take photos as 8.0MP resolution, 30- ‐second timeout delay and take a single photo per trigger activation.
Q3 – This is the third Quick Set programming mode. This setting the camera is preprogrammed to take a 720P HD Video with audio, have a 30 second timeout delay between activations, and each video will be 10 seconds in length.
CUSTOM – This is the fifth setting and is defined by the user. When the camera is changed to this mode, the display screen will reflect the last program setting: Number of images on the memory card, Countdown timer and Battery percentage.

PHOTO	00000
00:30	100%

The system default programming is set to 8.0MP, 5-second timeout delay and 1 Photo Burst. The 30- ‐second timer on the lower left of the display will count down towards 0 showing how much time is left to enter the Custom configuration mode. Should no change be made, the system will give an additional 30 seconds for the operator to move out of the coverage area before the camera becomes active.
To make changes to the programming, press the MENU button to enter the configuration menu before the countdown reaches zero. When in the MENU configuration, pressing the DOWN arrow button will move the configuration to the next setting option. Pressing the ENTER button on the listed configuration option will cause the option to blink and allow it to be changed.

To reinsert the battery tray; position the tray so the base of the tray matches with the opening at the bottom of the camera. The tray is notched so that incorrect insertion of the battery tray is not possible. With the orientation correct simply slide the battery tray into its final locked position. Should the battery tray not willingly slide into it destination, remove the tray and examine the area of possible debris that may be causing the issue.
NOTE: Replacing the batteries will not reset the cameras current configurations.

Do not mix new and old batteries.
Remove batteries from the tray if the unit will not be in use for extended period of time.

VIEW & DELETING IMAGES

The camera allows for two (2) ways to view your images. First is the direct connection for the camera to the computer via a USB cable (not included). This is a USB mini to standard USB (type A/B) cable. By simply turning the unit to the OFF position, and plugging the USB mini end into the camera and the standard USB end into the computer, the computer will register the camera as a card reading device. Once connection with the computer has been established the files may be review based upon the software installed on the computer. Please refer to the software's Owner's Manual for exact viewing of images.
NOTE: Support for this operation is limited to but not exclusive to the Windows Vista operating system and above, and also the Mac OS 10.6 and above. Any operating systems below the above- ‐mentioned are not guaranteed to be compatible and may result in system errors.
The second option is to remove the SD memory card from the camera, and using a card reading device to view the images. Please refer to the Owner's Manual for the particular device in use for viewing the files.
NOTE: SD memory card viewers not manufactured by Stealth Cam may create conflicts on the memory card. Should this occur and the card is no longer working properly with the unit, the SD memory card will need to be reformatted.

DEFINITIONS

MATRIX (Blur Reduction Technology) – Advanced blur reduction dramatically reduces blur effects resulting in sharper, clearer images.

RETINA (Sub 14 Second Trigger) – Superior low light performance for extended nighttime range.

MULTI4 ZONE DETECTION * Provides for more accurate coverage at angle & distance, maximizing the cameras triggering capability.

TRIAD (34 in4 1 Technology)

• Hi4 Res still images: The basis upon which scouting cameras were designed, today's Stealth Cam's shoot highresolution still images (day & night) with unmatched clarity and detail. Coupled with Burst Mode (multiple exposures per triggering).
• HD Video: Stealth Cam's ability to shoot HD video with audio brings a whole new dimension to scouting by giving the user a true glimpse into the animal's behavior and vocalizations.
• Time Lapse: The option to set the camera to take images at predetermined intervals over a selected time periods (day or night) is the cornerstone behind Stealth Cam's Time Lapse function.
  Motion Sensor Override – if a subject matter enters the cameras coverage zone between time- lapse shots the sensor will override the setting, trigger & capture the image when TL delay is greater than or equal to 1 min.

BURST (Rapid Fire Mode) - Multiple exposures per triggering delivers a sequence of images capturing subject movement.

BURST INVETVAL - Delay between image captures on multiple burst mode.

QUICK SET (Fast, Simple Setup) - Pre-programmed setting switches which allows the user to literally set their trail cam up in a matter of seconds.

SECURE LOCK (Digital Protection) – Secure Lock offers password protection rendering the camera access nearly impossible.

GEO-TAG (GPS Meta-Tagging) - Allows the entry of GPS coordinates into the camera. These coordinates do not appear on the time date stamp but rather in the background image data. When GPS tagged image is opened with a location enabled program such as iPhoto or Picasa images are plotted on a map.

Smart Illumination Technology - The Camera constantly monitors light conditions during the dusk & dawn transition periods adjusting the IR illumination to provide the best possible color images before switching in and out of night mode. While Smart IR is ON, Photo Burst is limited to (1) image per triggering.

Motion Active Video - (MAV) The Camera will continue to record video if the subject(s) re-trigger the PIR sensor. this allows the camera to capture the entire event without ending prematurely.
