• Switch the NatureView HD Cam to the SETUP mode.
• Make movements in front of the camera at several positions within
the area where you expect the wildlife or subjects to be. Try different
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 remote color viewer may also be used to accurately aim and position the
camera. See
pg. 29
for details.
The results of your testing will help you find the best placement when
mounting and aiming the NatureView HD 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 NatureView HD 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
and Sensor Level parameters. Please note, the PIR is strongly sensitive to
ambient temperature. The greater the temperature difference between the
environment and your subject, the farther the possible sensing distance. The
average sensing distance is about 45 ft.
Before leaving the camera unattended, please check for the following:
• Are the batteries or DC power supply inserted/connected with correct
polarity and is the power level is sufficient?
• Does the SD card have sufficient available space and is its write-
protection (lock) switch off?
• Is the Power switch in the ON position? (do not leave it in SETUP).
