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
