Sensitivity
There may be situations where you
might
feel the camera is not catching animals
that are nearby or maybe the camera is
triggering too easily. You can adjust the
sensitivity of your camera to help with
this. Under most conditions, NORMAL
option will work the best. In high
temperatures, the HIGH setting might
help differentiate between the outside
temps and the body temps of the animal.
In cold conditions, you may find that the
LOW option is best as the camera can
easily differentiate the outside temps from
the body temps of the subject. If you are
using the time lapse function, you would
choose OFF to turn off the PIR.
Trigger
Interval
Allows you to customize how often the
camera can be allowed to take a photo.

records/captures automatically every
preset time period (5seconds~8hours),
