Aiming Your Camera

PIR Motion Detector
The Passive Infrared Motion Detector on your HyperFire™ camera is
precisely aligned with the camera lens to give you the best chance of
capturing subjects that come into the field of view of the camera, while not
capturing pictures of anything that is not in the view of the camera.
The motion detector can detect movement up to 100 feet away. However,
the detection range is dependent on the temperature of the source in relation
to the ambient air temperature.
The HyperFire™ Motion Detector consists of two horizontal detection bands,
as well as six different zones that cover the detection area.
For the camera to take a picture two things need to happen:
1) An object (typically an animal) with a temperature different from the
background temperature must be present within one of the detection
bands.
(i.e. something warmer or colder than the ambient temperature).
2) That object must be moving into or out of at least one of the six
motion detection zones.
NOTE: In the photo above... the deer to the far right and the deer in the
middle would each trigger the camera. The deer to the far left would not
trigger the camera since it is above the top detection band.
