3. LASER POINTER (Models 119935/119905 Only)
The 119935/119905 trail Scout camera has a Laser pointer. When you mount the unit on a tree or any
other fixed surface and cannot sight from behind the Game Camera, you can use the Laser Pointer to align
the unit.
NOTE: LASER LIGHT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO THE EYES.
THE LASER POINTER IS ACTIVATED IN THE SET-UP MODE.
DO NOT PERMIT THE LASER POINTER TO BE DIRECTED
TOWARD ANYONE’S EYES TO AVOID POTENTIAL EYE INJURY.
4. AUTO DAY/NIGHT IR FILTER SWITCH (Models 119935/119905 Only)
The Model 119935/119905 trail Scout camera has an automatic function which activates a filter in the
camera’s lens system during the time period you define as “Day” (see “Set Day time” in the Setup Guide).
The purpose of this filter is to block infrared light, so that photos taken by daylight or with the standard
(xenon) flash tube (in heavy shade or late in the day) will have a normal appearance. This infrared filter is
found in virtually all digital cameras, as their image sensors are sensitive to infrared light as well as visible
light wavelengths. However, during the time period defined as “Night” (from Day end time to Day start
time), the infrared blocking filter is automatically deactivated, or removed from the lens path. This allows
the LED lamp array, which emits invisible infrared light, to be able to create an image on the camera’s CMOS
sensor when the iR light illuminates a subject in front of the lens. Because the infrared filter is activated
during the Day time period, the combination of “DAY Only” operating mode and “LED” flash mode is not
recommended, as the filter will prevent the infrared light from the LED from reaching the sensor, resulting
in dark photos. The standard flash may be selected along with “NiGHt Only” mode, however, photos may be
slightly pink or reddish in color due to the deactivated infrared filter. Refer to the following chart:
