USING THE CAMERA
Once	
  all	
  program	
  settings	
  have	
  been	
  setup	
  properly,	
  your	
  Stealth	
  Cam	
  
is	
  ready	
  for	
  field	
  use.	
  
	
  
Getting started
Listed	
  below	
  are	
  some	
  helpful	
  pointers	
  on	
  how	
  to	
  use	
  your	
  camera	
  to	
  
get	
  the	
  best	
  results.	
  
•
Mount the camera about 4-‐5 feet high with the camera pointed at
a slight downward angle.
•
Mount	
  the	
  camera	
  facing	
  north	
  or	
  south	
  NOT	
  east	
  or	
  west	
  due	
  to	
  
the	
  rising	
  and	
  setting	
  of	
  the	
  sun	
  could	
  produce	
  false	
  triggers	
  and	
  
overexposed images.
•
If you’re covering a trail, face the camera down or up the trail.
Most	
  commercial	
  cameras	
  take	
  1-‐3	
  seconds	
  to	
  sense	
  motion/heat	
  
and	
  take	
  a	
  picture.	
  
•
Clear out any brush or weeds in front of camera. This will cause
false pictures caused wind or high temperature days.
•
Double check battery before turning on the camera for use.
•
Make sure to insert the memory card after setting up the game
camera.
•
Make sure to turn the camera ON (or take out of Test Mode)
before you leave.
•
Verify time and date is correct.
