(see pg. 6 for camera status
indicator guide)
a scouting camera for hunters:
photo mode at 2MP resolution,
with a 10 second interval between
photos, and “Medium” LED flash
power output. These settings may
be easily changed to suit your
individual preferences or application
(for example, if you would rather
capture videos, or photos at a
different resolution, spaced further
apart), using the app on your
smartphone or home computer.
8. Prior to closing the camera,
ensure the camera has acquired
cellular signal by checking the
camera status indicator lights and
guide. Lower signal strength can
cause interruptions in service and
shorten battery life. Mount the
camera using the provided tree
strap or 1/4”-20 mounting socket. A
leveling arm to adjust the camera’s
angle is provided near the lower rear
of the camera.

(Check your app for these settings)
SETTINGS MENU
IMG. TYPE - Selects type of image files that are stored/
transmitted (note: see “Hybrid” under Video submenu).
PHOTO - Still images will be captured by the camera at
settings made in the PHOTO menu.
VIDEO - Video clips will be captured at settings made in the
VIDEO menu. NOTE: your full HD video files will be stored on
the SD card, but they cannot be transmitted wirelessly due to
the file size/cell carrier bandwidth.
HYBRID- Captures a single image followed by a video clip.
IMAGE SIZE - Selects resolution (in megapixels) for still
photos. Higher resolution provides more pixels for increased
detail, but creates larger files that take up more of the SD
card capacity (fills up faster). Available settings are: 2, 8 and
20 (megapixels). 2 is the default setting, which will deliver
excellent detail while still keeping the file size per image
reasonable for most users.
CAPTURE NUMBER - Selects the number of photos captured
per trigger event, with settings from 1 to 5 (default is 1 photo
per trigger).
VIDEO SIZE - Selects resolution for video clips. Choice of
1280x720 (720p), or 960x544 (544p).
VIDEO LENGTH - Selects duration of each video clip captured
per trigger. The default setting is 5S (five seconds per video).
From the 10 SEC setting up, length settings are in 5 second
increments. Maximum video length is 20 Seconds.
CAMERA NAME - Allows you to enter up to 12 characters

10
of your choice to identify this camera. Especially useful for
multi-camera setups. This will be imprinted on each photo.
Default name is “CORE CAM”.
PIR DELAY - Selects the length of time that the camera will
ignore additional triggers from the PIR after an animal is
first detected and remains within the sensor’s range. During
this user set interval, the camera will not capture photos
or videos. For example, if a second trigger event occurs
7 seconds after the first, but the delay time is set to 10
seconds, the second trigger will be ignored and a new image
will not be captured until the 10 seconds has elapsed. Only
the next trigger that occurs after 10 seconds will take a new
photo/video, and so on. This prevents the card from filling up
with too many redundant images. The default setting is 10
SEC (a ten second delay). From the 10 SEC setting up, delay
settings are in 5 second increments. After scrolling past “59
SEC”, settings go from “1 MIN” to “10 MIN” and then progress
to 60 MIN at five-minute increments (15 MIN, 20MIN, etc.).
WORK MODE - Determines when the PIR (passive infrared)
sensor will activate the camera and capture images.
DAY - 6:00 A.M. - 6:00 P.M.
NIGHT - 6:00 P.M. - 6:00 A.M.
24HRS – PIR Sensor triggers 24 hours a day.
Flash Mode:
SHORT RANGE – This is Medium LED output and fast shutter
speed that is designed to capture good images of animals up
close. This setting will provide the longest battery life but the
shortest flash range.
