Barn Owl: Camera Settings
Trigger Settings:
Your camera settings determine how and when photos are taken. Click the 3 dots
on your camera to update settings–pictured on the right. Barn Owl cameras can
capture images via motion, periodically, or on-demand. For the best experience, we
recommend updating settings via Barn Owl HQ and not on the camera body.
Types of Triggers:
• Motion Trigger:
When “ON”, camera automatically triggers on motion.
• Trigger Delay:
Time delay between motion-triggers.
Displayed as: HH:MM:SS
• Periodic Trigger:
Time delay between automatically-recurring triggers, regardless of motion.
Displayed as: HH:MM
• Trigger Window:
Time window where the camera will operate, according to the camera’s clock.
Displayed as: HH:MM-HH:MM
Example:
You want 3 scheduled images per day at 8am, 12pm, and 4pm.
Example Settings:
1. Set Your Periodic Trigger to: 04:00.
- The camera will trigger every 4 hours.
2. Turn Trigger Window to ON and set for: 08:00-16:00.
- The camera will trigger between 8am and 4pm.
Pro Tip:
Increase your image quality with the “Photo Size” option in the app.
Note: Higher quality images use more data.
Pro-Tip:
To avoid false motion triggers, make sure to minimize the amount of unnecessary
moving objects, like tree branches, directly in front of the camera lens.
