Motion Sensor Test Mode
Learning to use the WalkTest mode
is critical to being as successful as
possible with your RECONYX®
camera. The WalkTest mode allows
you to precisely determine your
camera's active motion detection
zones – ensuring your camera is
aimed exactly where you want to
capture animal activity.
1) Secure the camera to a tree or
other object aiming the camera
toward where you want it to
capture pictures.
2) Put camera in Motion Sensor Test mode, and close the camera.
3) Walk in front of the camera where you expect to capture pictures. Every time
the red WalkTest light blinks it indicates that a motion event is taking place. If
the WalkTest light does not blink where you expect it to, adjust the aim or
location of the camera.
4) If possible, set up the camera so that no large trees or objects are in the main
field of view of the camera, as they can adversely affect motion detection as
well as night time flash range.
NOTE: All RECONYX™ cameras will self-arm from the WalkTest mode after a
two minute period during which it does not detect any motion events.
TIP: When setting the camera up it's best to position the camera so it is not in
the normal line of sight for the subject you are trying to capture photos of so
it is not visibly detected. If possible set the camera up behind or
perpendicular to the normal direction of travel.
Be sure to use the Motion Sensor Test mode to be sure the camera is
aimed correctly.
