NOTE: after deleting a picture or a video file, the deleted files can’t be restored!
It is also possible to delete all files from the card by using the Format parameter.
DOWNLOADING THE PHOTOS/VIDEOS
To download your photos/videos to a PC or Mac*, first make sure the Trail
Cam power switch is in the OFF position. Connect the supplied cable to the
camera’s USB port, then directly to a main USB port on your computer-do
not use front panel/keyboard USB ports or unpowered “hubs”.
The Trail Cam will be recognized as a standard “USB Mass Storage” device
(this may take several seconds the first time you connect it). If you would
rather leave your camera in the woods and just pull its SD card out, an SD
card reader works the same way as described in this section once the card
is inserted and the reader is connected to your computer.
With Windows XP or later, you can then simply use the options in the pop-up
window to copy, view, or print your photos (right).
On all Windows OS, the Trail Cam will also be listed
as a “Removable Disk” if you open the “My Computer”
window (on Macs, an icon will appear on your desktop).
The Trail Cam’s photo files are named “PICT0001.
JPG” etc, and are located in the “DCIM\100EK113”
folder on this “Removable Disk”. Video file names will
end with “.avi”. You may copy the photos/videos to your
hard drive as you would any file-just copy/paste or drag
the file names or icons to your drive or desktop.
After the photos are copied to your hard drive, you can disconnect the
Trail Cam. (On Mac computers, drag the “disk” that appeared on your
desktop when the camera was connected into your Trash to “eject” it before
disconnecting.) The .jpg standard files from the Trail Cam may be viewed
and edited with any photo software you choose to use. The .avi video files
may be viewed with Windows Media Player (version 7 or later) as well as
other video playback programs that may have been supplied with your
computer, or are available online.
* “.avi” video files may require additional software for viewing on a Mac.
