verify that the targeted detection distance is adequate during installation.

installation
Recommended installation height
The camera should be installed at the same height as the animal's mid-body.
Ideal installation for quality images and videos
The targeted animal should be 7.5 m (25 ft.) away from the camera for a better field of view.
To achieve brighter pictures at night, there should be elements in the background that
can reflect the camera's infrared light. Take note that the camera should not be facing
directly toward the sun as this may create back-lighting and trigger false detections.
Make sure the front of the camera is free of any obstruction. The installation area must
be clear of branches or bushes as they could trigger false detections when combined
with heat, reflections, and/or wind. If the camera's sensitivity is set to High, this could also
trigger false detections.
