Sensing Angle and Distance Test
To test whether the Trophy Cam can eectively monitor the area
you choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing angle and
monitoring distance of the Trophy Cam. To perform the test:
• Switch the Trophy Cam to the SETUP mode.
• Make movements in front of the camera at several positions within
the area where you expect the game or subjects to be. Try dierent
distances and angles from the camera.
• If the motion indicator LED light blinks, it indicates that position can
be sensed. If it does not blink, that position is outside of the sensing
area.
The results of your testing will help you nd the best placement when
mounting and aiming the Trophy Cam. The height away from the ground
for placing the device should vary with the animal size appropriately. In
general, 3 to 6 feet is preferred.
You can avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and motion
disturbances in front of the camera by not aiming it at a heat source or
nearby tree branches or brush (especially on windy days).
Switching ON the Camera
Once you switch to the ON mode, the motion indicator LED (red) will blink
for about 10 seconds. This gives you time to close and lock the front cover
of the Trophy Cam and then walk away. During this time, the motion
indicator LED will blink red continuously. After it stops blinking, the PIR
is active, and any motion that is detected by it will trigger the capture
of photos or videos as programmed in the SETUP Menu. Be sure you
have read the descriptions of the Capture Number, Video Length, Interval
