Using An External Power Source - Leupold RCX Trail Camera System User Manual

and to avoid triggers during periods
where there is a lot of activity that you
don't want to capture. For example,
people and pets in your yard during
the day when you are trying to capture
night activity. The camera can be set to
run during only daylight hours to avoid
the power consumption of night pictures
that require the IR LED flash.
Night Pictures
The camera automatically activates
night mode when the light sensor tells
it that there is not enough light for
pictures without the IR flash. It will then
activate the IR LEDs and take black and
white night images. Set different night
settings for your camera by selecting
the night tab in the custom menu, and
selecting settings to be applied during
20
these night shots only. For ease of
operation, some settings cannot be
customized separately for night shots.
Time Lapse
The Time Lapse feature allows the
camera to automatically take a picture
at intervals you select in the "input"
menu. This allows movement to be
captured beyond the trigger range. In
addition, the very long intervals can
be used for documenting changes
like a plant growing, or the change of
seasons. Time Lapse is great for food
plots where there is constant activity
and you don't want to miss far targets
or take multiple pictures of the same
animal.
Event Delay
The Event Delay feature sets the camera
to ignore triggers for a time after a
picture is triggered. This is to avoid
taking too many pictures of one animal.
Tip: use with multi-picture mode to snap a
couple of pictures to make sure you get a
good one, then wait for the next animal. Time
Lapse and Event Delay cannot be used at the
same time.
