The key to taking great photos and videos
is proper mounting and placement of the
WildlifeCam. One reason the WildlifeCam
captures such unique images is that it can be
positioned very close to wild animals without
frightening them. Most WildlifeCam photos
are taken within three feet of their subjects.
We designed the WildlifeCam so that it can
be mounted many different ways. Take a
moment to learn more about mounting your
WildlifeCam properly, and you will quickly see
improvement in your images.
Basic Principles
1. Stability - Mount the WildlifeCam securely
so that it does not move. It should never be
hung from above or mounted to an object
that moves in the wind. If the WildlifeCam is
moving, it will cause the motion sensor to
trigger incorrectly.
2. Lighting - As with all cameras, it is best to
avoid aiming the WildlifeCam at the source of
light (for instance, the sun). Ideally during
daytime, position the WildlifeCam so it is
facing its target, e.g. a bird feeder, but facing
away from the sun.
On the Ground
Set up is simple, even on the ground. Just
position your WildlifeCam directly on the
ground. If you’re concerned about it falling
over, use the included Stretch Cords to secure
the WildlifeCam to the base of a tree, a post,
or other solid feature (a brick works great).
