MOUNTING AND POSITIONING THE
Prime Trail Camera
Mounting
After you’ve set up the camera’s parameters to your personal preferences at home or
in your truck, you’re ready to take it outside and slide the power switch to “ON”. When
setting up the Prime Trail Camera for scouting game or other outdoor applications, you
must be sure to mount it in place correctly and securely. We recommend mounting the
Prime Trail Camera on a sturdy tree with a diameter of about 6 in. (15cm). To get the
optimal picture quality, the tree should be about 16-17 ft. (5 meters) away from the
place to be monitored, with the camera placed at a height of 3.5-5 ft. (1~1.5 m). Also,
keep in mind that you will get the best results at night when the subject is within the
ideal flash range, no farther than 100’ (30m) and no closer than 10’ (3m) from the
camera.
There are two ways to mount the Prime Trail Camera: using the provided adjustable
web belt, or the tripod socket.
Using the adjustable web belt: Fig. 7 illustrates using the web belt on the Prime Trail
Camera. Push one end of the belt through the two brackets on the back of the Prime
Trail Camera. Thread the end of the strap through the buckle. Fasten the belt securely
around the tree trunk by pulling the end of the strap firmly so there is no slack left.
