PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor): Senses motion like a typical security motion

detector. Requires infrared energy (heat) in addition to motion to trigger

the sensor to help limit detection to live subjects (rather than leaves, etc).

Delay Time (Trigger Interval): Time elapsed between photos while

events are sensed and recorded. You should set this based on wildlife

activity in the area.

Moon Phase: The X-8 trail cam has a feature which imprints a moon

phase stamp on each photo for reference.

IR Flash: Also called IR LED Array. This is a “night vision” feature, which

emits a burst of infrared light, invisible to the human eye. Especially

useful for night photos when a visible flash may be undesirable.

Battery life: Time that camera will function in the field. Dependent on

ambient temperature, number of images taken and number of times the

IR flash fires.

When the battery voltage drops below 4.5v, the IR flash stops

firing. When battery voltage is below 3.5v, the camera stops working.

Single/Multi-Image Modes: The number of pictures the camera takes

per PIR trigger (still photo capture mode only).

1P: A single image is captured for each PIR trigger

3P: A three image sequence captured for each PIR trigger

FUll: When the SD card’s memory capacity is full, the LCD display

indicates “FULL

Mass Storage: Connect the camera with a USB cable to a computer,

press the “SETUP” button, and the computer can access the contents of

the SD card. The camera is automatically recognized as an “external drive”,

without the need to install special drivers. (Win 98 and older operating

systems are not supported. Mac OSX is also compatible-the camera will

appear on your desktop as an external storage device or “disk”).
