INSERT THE MEMORY CARD
Before inserting or removing a memory card, always turn o the camera
to prevent loss or damage of the photos already recorded. Insert an SD/
SDHC memory card (up to 32 GB capacity) in the card slot, gold con-
tacts facing up. The card is inserted correctly when a click is heard.
We suggest to format your SD card if it's been in another electronic
device to make sure you will have the maximum capacity of your
memory card.
REMOVE CAMERA FROM THE MOUNTING BRACKET
A. Push the tab to release the camera from
the mounting bracket.
B. Remove the camera.
CHOOSE A POWER SOURCE
In order to get best results and longer battery life, we recommend
the use of an external 12V source. For easier access to the 12V jack,
remove the camera from the mounting bracket before plugging a 12V
cable. Then, the camera can be reinstalled in the mounting bracket.

To ensure maximum performance of the came-
ra and prevent battery leak, we recommend
the use of new batteries. Make sure to insert

recommended as the lower voltage they
produce can cause operational issues.

3.INSTALLATION OF THE CAMERA
INSTALL THE CAMERA WITH THE SUPPLIED STRAP
Recommended installation height:
The camera should be installed at the same height as the animal’s
mid-body.
Ideal installation for quality pictures & videos:
The targeted animal should be 25 feet / 7.5m away from the camera for
a better eld of view.
To get brighter pictures at night , you should have elements in the
background to reect back the IR ash to the camera.
Note that the camera should not directly be facing the sun to avoid
back lighting and false detection.
TEST THE DETECTION OF THE CAMERA
When the DETECTION TEST mode is se-
lected, no photo or video is recorded.
Pass in front of the camera from left to
right. When the camera detects motion,
the test light blinks to indicate that the
camera would normally have saved a
photo or video. If the system does not
detect the movement, increase the
detection sensitivity using the
SENSITIVITY option in the GENERAL
SETTINGS menu or realign the system
dierently.
VERIFY THE CELLULAR SIGNAL
To test the cellular signal, go to the
NETWORK TEST in the home menu.
Run the test and note it can take a few
minutes.
Once the test will be completed, it will display
that the test was performed with success.
You will then see the signal strengh being
displayed on the top right corner with signal
bars and in “dBm”.
High <-75 / Normal -75 to -95 / Low >-95
If the Network Test was unsuccessful, move outside or get near a window
and re-run it a few times if need be to get all the information from the cell
network.
START THE CAMERA
Select the desired operating mode(photo, time lapse or video) on the
main mode by pressing OK.
When the mode is selected, the test light in front of the camera will
ash for 60 seconds to allow the user to leave the area without being
photographed or recorded.

Note: The signal bars on a LINK might not be equal to your other
cellular devices. There’s no industry standard and practice to label
dBm values to a specic number of bars. dBm is more accurate
than a number of bars. In the end, -50 is a great signal while -120
is a very poor signal.
Note: If you start the camera in Video mode, make sure that you
have enabled the Photo First setting.
