In SETUP mode :

The light flashes when motion is detected. It also allows the user to

verify that the targeted detection distance is adequate during installation.

the installation, without being photographed. When the light turns off, the camera is

ready for use.

installation

Recommended installation height

The camera should be installed at the same height as the animal's mid-body.

Ideal installation for quality images and videos

The targeted animal should be 7.5 m (25 ft.) away from the camera for a better field of view.
To achieve brighter pictures at night, there should be elements in the background that

can reflect the camera's infrared light. Take note that the camera should not be facing

directly toward the sun as this may create back-lighting and trigger false detections.
Make sure the front of the camera is free of any obstruction. The installation area must

be clear of branches or bushes as they could trigger false detections when combined

with heat, reflections, and/or wind. If the camera's sensitivity is set to High, this could also

trigger false detections.
