If an animal triggers the camera “in between” the 15 minute intervals,

it will be recorded, same as it would if you had setup the camera with

Time Lapse turned Off (T-Delay set to “OFF”). Note: Time Lapse settings of

frequent intervals and/or long periods between start and stop time can

reduce battery life.
When you’ve finished using the Setup Menu, and are ready to return the

camera to normal operating mode, so it will begin to capture photos or

videos for you, simply press the Setup button. After you exit the Setup

Menu, the display will go blank and the camera is in “sleep” mode. About

30 seconds later, the camera will begin taking photos or videos when

triggered, at intervals determined by the trigger delay time setting.

Once your camera has been setup, you are ready to begin using it to

capture photos of activity in the area you choose to locate it. Just follow

these steps:

It is recommended that you mount the camera about 4 or 5 feet (1.2~1.5

meters) off the ground, with the camera pointed at a slight downward

angle. It’s best to avoid mounting the camera facing east or west as

the rising and setting of the sun could produce false triggers and

overexposed images. Clear branches and other debris away from the

front of the camera so as not to block the camera lens or PIR sensor.

To mount the camera in place, insert the strap through the strap slots on
the rear housing. Wrap the strap around the mounting surface. Secure
the strap and tighten the buckle in order to secure the camera.

Make sure that both door latches are securely locked in place, to ensure

proper weather resistance.

2. Power On the Camera

Slide the Power switch to On. Press Setup to exit the Setup Menu if you

don’t need to adjust any settings. The display blanks out, and the camera
