4. INSTALL THE CAMERA WITH THE SUPPLIED STRAP

When installed with the mounting bracket, the camera can be removed to access the battery case without affecting the installation.

Recommended installation height:The camera should be installed at the same height as the animal’s mid-body.

Ideal installation for quality pictures & videos:The targeted animal should be 25 feet / 7.5m away from the camera for a better field of view. To get brighter pictures at night , you should have elements in the background to reflect back the IR flash to the camera. Note that the camera should not directly be facing the sun to avoid back lighting and false detection.

1. Insérez l’extrémité de la courroie dans la fente qui se trouve au dos du mécanisme.

2. Insérez la courroie dans la fente sous le levier et faites-la ressortir en arrière.

3. Créer une tension sur la courroie en la tirant vers la droite, puis rabattez vers la gauche le levier pour maintenir la position.

PRO TIPS: Solar panel & internal rechargeable battery

● You need at least 50% of the solar panel cleared for maximum performance.● Make sure that there are no objects obstructing the solar panel, that it is not shaded by unwanted obstacles and/or foreign material.● If the power of the internal battery becomes insufficient, the camera will shut down. Once the battery has been charged sufficiently by the solar panel, the camera will automatically turn on leaving the settings untouched.● An optional power source can be added as a backup to the internal rechargeable battery for maximum protection.

NOTE: PERFORM STEPS 3 AND 4 DURING THE FINAL INSTALLATION OF THE CAMERA.
