Setup Guide (cont.)
6. The “key” icon will ash next (g), press ENTER and enter any four digit
password of your choice (to keep using the default “0000”, just press ENTER 4
times) by using the UP/DOWN buttons to change each digit and using ENTER to
step to the next digit (h). When nished, press ENTER if you want to return to the
date/time setup menu, or press and hold the MENU button at any time to exit all
setup menus and return to normal operation.
7. In normal operating mode, the display will only show the still photo or movie
clip icon in the lower left corner, the day or night mode icon, an SD card icon on
the lower right, and one or more digits that indicate how many photo or movie les have been stored on the card.
To test the camera operation, wave your hand in front of the lens and PIR (passive infrared/motion) detector,
while looking at the LCD display. Every time an “event” is detected, the display will indicate “Plr”, “EVNT”,
“rECd” in turn, and the event is recorded on the SD card as a new line in a text le, including the date and time
of the event. As long as events are being detected, a new still photo or movie clip (as set in the menu) will be
recorded every 30 seconds, indicated on the display by “Plr”, “SnAP”, then “SAVE”. Note: for movie clips, the
display will stay on “SnAP” for the 14 sec duration of each movie.
8. Thread the strap through the slots on the back of the Sentry and attach the buckles, then strap it onto a suitable
tree, making sure the strap is tight and the camera is aimed at the area you wish to observe. The red LED lamp
on the front of the camera can help you determine how large an area is covered, as it will ash when an “event”
is detected. Turn on the camera (make sure a new or empty SD card has been inserted) and leave the area-there is
a 60 second delay after power on before the rst photo is taken. The standard ash will re automatically at night
for still photos, but not movies, so they will be dark unless the area is well lit by the moon or another light source.
