Mounting
1. To mount the camera to an object in the field, locate the strap
that came supplied with the camera.
2. Remove the clip from one end of the strap and slide that end
through the two slats on the back of the camera.
3. Once the camera is attached, place the clip back on the strap.
4. Wrap the strap around the object at the appropriate height
and connect both ends of the clip. Pull any excess material on
the strap so the camera attaches to the object tightly.

page 20
Once you connect the camera to your computer via the USB cable/ports, the camera will
then draw power from the computer. When completing the viewing, transferring, copying or
deletion of images, please make sure that you DISCONNECT THE USB CABLE FROM BOTH
THE CAMERA AND THE COMPUTER, as you will not be able to power the camera OFF until
you do so.
The directions as contained herein assume that you are using a Microsoft operating 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 in the Field
-Place the camera 25-30 feet from your target area for optimal image quality.
-Try to avoid mounting the camera directly facing the rising or setting sun so sunlight isn’t
directly hitting the lenses.
-If mounting to a dusty environment (such as a feeder), regularly clean the camera lens cov-
ers, incandescent flash cover and PIR sensor cover.
-Periodically check the camera mounting to ensure it doesn’t become loose.
-To keep any water from damaging the unit, the camera door must remain closed with the
latch secured tightly while the camera is in use.
-Regularly remove the battery compartment cover to inspect the batters for any corrosive
build-up, as this may harm the camera.
