Setting  up  the  camera  in  the  field:  

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  to  Preset  or  Manual  mode  (or  take  out  of  
Test  Mode)  before  you  leave.  

Verify  time  and  date  is  correct.
