Mounting
We recommend mounting cam on a sturdy tree with a diameter of about
6 inch (15cm). To get the optimal picture quality,the tree should
be about 16-17 ft(5 meters) away from the place to be monitored,
with the camera placed at a height of 5-6.5 ft. (1.5~2 m). Also,
keep in mind that you will get the best results at night when the
subject is within the ideal flash range, no farther than 60' (19m)
and no closer than 10'(3m) from the camera.
There are two ways to mount cam: using the provided adjustable web
belt, or the tripod socket.
•Using the adjustable web belt: Push one end of the belt through
the two brackets on the back of cam. Thread the end of the strap
through the buckle. Fasten the belt securely around the tree trunk
by pulling the end of the strap firmly so there is no slack left.
•Using the tripod socket:The camera is equipped with a socket at
the bottom end.
Sensing Angle and Distance
Test To test whether cam can effectively monitor the area you
choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing angle and
monitoring distance of cam. To perform the test:
•Switch cam to SETUP mode.
• Make movements in front of the camera at several positions within
the area where you expect game or subjects to be. Try different
distances and angles from camera.
• If emotion indicator LED light blinks, it indicates that position
can be sensed.The results of your testing will help you find the
best place where mounting and aiming the cam. The height from the
ground for placing the device should vary with animal size
appropriately. In general,3 to 6 feet is preferred. You can avoid
potential false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances
in front of the camera by not aiming it at a heat source or nearby
tree branches or brush (especially on windy days).
