The directions as contained herein assume that you are using a Microsoft operat-
ing system and not Linux or a Mac-based operating system. Even said, there may
be slight variations in your process based on the specific version of the operation
system that you are using as well as the predefined user preference for each
computer. The below listed steps are to serve as a guideline and may have to be
slightly modified based on the specific operating system and preference as on
your personal computer.
TIPS:
Recommended distance from target area is 25-30 feet for optimal imaging
quality.
To improve the quality of your images, try not to mount the unit facing the rising
or the setting sun in order to avoid direct sunlight into the camera lens.
If mounting to a feeder unit or dusty environment, be sure to clean the cam-
era lens cover, incandescent flash cover, and the PIR sensor cover on a regular
basis.
Periodically check the mounting of the camera to insure it is not loose.
Make sure that you securely latch the door closed each and every time you use
the unit, as the moisture seal will not be activated unless closed properly.
Check batteries frequently to insure no corrosive build-up, as this may cause
harm to the camera.

Method 1: Remove SD card and use card
reader
A. First, remove the SD Card from the cam-
era unit itself by pressing on it to where it
automatically ejects.
B. Next, insert the SD card into your SD
card reader.
C. Once inserted into your computer it may
automatically launch “AutoPlay”, a window
recognizing a new Secure Digital Storage
Device (the SD Card).
D. If so, it should list several options for
the next steps (not limited to the following):
1. Picture Options
a. Import pictures
b. View pictures
c. Copy Disc
d. Transfer pictures
2. General Options
a. Open folder to view files
E. Select the method from the list provided
that best suits your requirements. If the se-
lection is made to “View pictures”, you can
then view the images located on the SD Card
and manipulate them as needed.
F. If your computer does not automatically
launch the AutoPlay window recognizing the
Removable Disk (the SD Card), then you will
need to go to the “Start Menu” at the bottom
left of your screen and select “Computer”.
The summary view will then be illustrated
on the right hand side of the window where
by the “Devices with Removable Storage”
will be listed. The computer will recognize
the reader as “Secure Digital Storage De-
vice”. Please select “Secure Digital Storage
Device” from this menu (or double click on
the graphical icon).
G. This will then direct you into the SD Card
file folder. Images are in the MEDIA folder.
H. Once open, you will then see all of the
photo files that are located on the SD Card.
Select each image individually to view. The
default viewing browser for your computer
will then automatically launch.
I. Repeat for viewing all or other photos.
J. If you determine that you want to delete
the image, select the image by placing your
cursor on it and clicking your mouse only
once. Right click on your mouse and select
delete. This will delete the image perma-
nently, so be absolutely sure you want to do
this before selecting delete.

Having trouble with your SD card? Try this.
1. Connect the SD card to your computer. If
your computer has an SD card slot you can insert the SD card directly into the port.

use an external USB card reader that plugs into any USB port
on your computer.
2. Click the Start or Windows menu and select Computer (Windows Vista/7) or My
Computer (Windows XP). For Windows 8 users, type “computer” and click the Computer
icon in the Apps search results.
3. Right-click the drive letter associated with your memory device, then select “Format”
4. Ensure FAT32 is selected under “File System”
5. Ensure ”Quick Format” is checked
6. Click “Start”
