Note:
• Choose a solid tree that does not move in the wind, as the movement will cause false
detection.
• Make sure the area in front of your camera is free of branches or twigs that could be
moved away by the wind.
• The camera should be set at the same height of the animal’s mid-body.
5.Mount the Camera
You can use the adjustable Web Belt to mount the trail camera. Push one end of the belt
through the two brackets on the back of the camera. 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.
6. Sensing and Distance Test
To test whether the trail camera can eectively monitor the area you choose, this test is
recommended to check the sensing angle and monitoring distance of the trail camera.
To perform the test:
• Switch the trail camera to the ON mode.
• Make parallel movements in front of the camera at several positions within the area
where you expect the game or subjects to be. Try dierent distances and angles from
the camera.

7.Playback Pictures and Videos
All photos and videos taken by the iZEEKER trail camera can be viewed directly on the
built-in screen, also can be protected, unprotected and deleted directly on the camera.
• View Files on the LCD screen
Switch to ON mode →Press【MODE】button twice →Press【UP】or【DOWN】to check
your images and videos.
• If the motion indicator LED light blinks, it indicates that the position can be sensed. If it
does not blink, that position is outside of the sensing area.
• The results of your testing will help you find the best placement when mounting and
aiming the trail camera. The height away from the ground for placing the device
should vary with the animal size appropriately. In general, 3 to 6 feet is preferred. The
optimal distance away from the subject is about 10 meters. If you want to capture
small animals, we recommend placing the camera directly on the ground and making
it close to the subject.
• 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).

Note: Delete operations do not delete protected files. Formatting the card deletes
protected files.

When using a PC to view photos or video, First, put the power switch to the [ON] position,
then use a Mini USB Type A (included) to connect the camera USB port with the computer.
If the connection is done successfully, the camera screen will show “Connecting”. Then
