LOWER RESOLUTION FIRMWARE CHANGE (OPTIONAL)
In an effort to provide the customer with a more cost effective SD card
memory solution, we offer the ability to reduce the lowest resolution
setting from 3.0Mp to 1.3Mp, ultimately reducing the files size of the
image and allowing more images to be captured.
Please go to http://www.stealthcam.com under the
Support/Downloads for instructions on how to install this firmware
update.

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.
