Custom Camera Setup - Leupold RCX Trail Camera System User Manual

Custom Camera Setup

Use the custom mode to refine settings.
Night & day settings are modified
seperately, so be sure to set them both.
Automatic Camera Type Detection:
The controller will automatically detect
the type of camera and will only offer
settings that are available with that
model. If there is no camera connected,
RCX-1 or RCX-2 can be chosen on the
opening screen.
Video/Picture: Select whether the
camera will take video or still images.
Resolution:
.3 MP* to 10 MP for RCX-2,
.3 MP* to 8 MP for RCX-1.
18
Video: 320x240* or 640x480
Video settings
Video FPS: 15* or 30 Video frames
per second determines how smoothly
the video runs. The higher the number,
the better the video, but the greater the
file size.
Video Length: 5* to 60 seconds
*Lower values are recommended for smaller
SD cards and for quick field downloads.
Dual Sensor Technology (DST)
Only the RCX-2 has DST, which uses
both a 45° sensor and a 10° sensor.
The 10° sensor provides the longest 45°
range and the 45° sensor provides a
more forgiving wide sensor angle that
nearly covers the 54° field of view of
the camera. The camera can be setup
to use either of the sensors or both
in combination. Activate both when
you want to maximize the number of
pictures.
The RCX-1 is equipped with only a 45 degree
sensor
Sensitivity
Auto: Adjusts to higher sensitivity
in hot weather when the air temp
is closer to that of a deer's body. It
automatically sets to lower sensitivity
when it is cooler to avoid small target
triggers, like birds and squirrels.
Manual: Super high, high, medium
and low.
• Set to super high sensitivity for
maximum image count. 32 GB
SD cards and efficient power
consumption can take more than
10,000 10 MP images. While taking
many pictures is possible, it will
make field downloading slower.
In instances where the SD card is
nearly full, it may make more sense
to change cards rather than to
download.
• Set to a lower setting if you are
getting false triggers or pictures of
animals farther away than you want.
Operation Hours
The camera can be set to run for a
specific period of time to save batteries
