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.
