9. Recording interval
   Preset for 1 minute, can be set from 5 seconds to 60 minutes. Select the amount of time the camera should wait before taking a picture/recording of the object that activated the PIR sensor. During the selected interval, the camera does not record any photos or videos. This prevents the memory card from filling up with unnecessary images.

Remark:
In the playback mode of saved files, a long press of the “MENU” button takes you to the settings where you can delete a frame, erase all recordings, activate the diashow or write-protect.

Setting the field of view of the photo trap
The test mode (SETUP mode) is suitable for determining the best possible detection angle and range of the motion sensor. To do this, mount the camera at a height of approximately 1-2 m to a tree and set the camera in the desired direction. Slowly move from one side of the area to be monitored to the other, moving parallel to the camera. Try different angles and distances.

The indicator LED on the front of the camera lights up to indicate that you have been detected by the PIR sensor. This way you can test and adjust whether the photo trap is occupying the space you want. This mode is automatically activated if you select SETUP mode for the photo trap.

Photo trap in ON mode
In this mode, photos and videos are taken either by the motion sensor or at intervals according to the appropriate settings. It takes approximately 5 seconds before the camera automatically starts working and enters standby mode.

Night mode
During nighttime recording, infrared LEDs (940 nm) on the front of the photo trap provide the light needed to capture images. This allows night recording at distances of 3 to 20 m without overexposing the subject. Objects with high reflectivity can cause overexposure in this range (e.g. traffic signs). This mode takes black and white images.

Connecting to a computer
The photo trap can be connected to a computer using the included USB cable.

System requirements for connection:

Screen resolution 1.024 x 768 or higher

Available USB connection| Available USB connection

Alternatively, you can insert the memory card into the card reader on your computer.
Note: On Macs, the desktop displays the “Unknown” drive. Clicking on this drive automatically launches iPhoto.

Solar panel power supply
The photo trap has a built-in lithium battery, which is continuously recharged by a solar panel in sufficient sunlight. Subsequently, the photo trap is powered from this battery. When the capacity of the built-in battery drops below 10%, the photo trap switches to power from the inserted AA batteries. The lifetime of the photo trap on one set of batteries depends on the availability of sunlight and on the number of switches during the day. Therefore, it will be different if the photo trap is placed in a sunny location and the frequency of switching will be lower than if the photo trap is placed in the shade and triggered very frequently. Therefore, look for a location where the light intensity will be highest, this will ensure the highest possible intensity of charging from the solar panel.

PROBLEM-SOLVING
