There may be situations where you might

that are nearby or maybe the camera is
triggering too easily. You can adjust the

temperatures, the HIGH setting might
help differentiate between the outside
temps and the body temps of the animal.

LOW option is best as the camera can
easily differentiate the outside temps
from the body temps of the subject. If you

would choose OFF to turn off the PIR.
