SD Card
After opening the latch on the right side of the camera, you will see
that it has 6 battery slots. For maximum battery life, we recommend
using 6 lithium AA(non-rechargeable)or alkaline AA batteries.
Please be sure to insert each battery with correct polarity (negative
or“flat”end against the long spring of each battery slot).
Insert the SD card ( OFF mode ) before beginning to operate the
camera. We strongly recommend that you format the SD card at the
first time. SD card is supported up to maximum 256GB capacity.

We recommend mounting cam on a sturdy tree with a diameter of about 6 in. (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 strap or the tripod socket.
1. Using the adjustable strap: Push one end of the strap through the two brackets on the
back of cam. Thread the end of the strap through the buckle. Fasten the strap securely
around the tree trunk by pulling the end of the strap firmly so there is no slack left.
2. Using the Tree Nail: The camera is equipped with a socket at the bottom end.
MOUNTING

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:
1. Switch cam to ON mode.
2. 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.
3. 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).
Sensing Angle and Distance Test

The cam has two basic operational modes: 「OFF」and「ON」
●「OFF 」Mode
When cam in OFF mode, you can do the following:
• replacing the SD card or batteries
• connecting cam with other device by USB port
It will occur a little of power consumption under OFF mode. If you won't use it for a long
time, please take batteries off.
●「ON」Mode
When cam in ON mode, you can do the following:
• the cam will take photos or videos automatically (according to its current parameter
settings) when it is triggered by the PIR sensor′s detection of activity in the area it covers.
Operational Modes
