Mounting Tips:

  • Recommended 25′-30′ mounting distance from target are for best image quality.
  • For improved image clarity, if possible, avoid mounting facing towards rising or setting sun to reduce direct sunlight on the lens.

Retrieving images
To view images, first power down the camera before removing the SD card. Once camera is powered down, press the SD card into the camera to release it from the camera and the SD card will eject.
Next, insert the SD card into the computer or external SD card viewing device. If your device automatically launches a viewing program or the device recognizes the external device a, follow the device recommendations to view and sort images. If the program does not launch automatically you will need to open the “Start Menu” at the bottom of the screen and select the computer. Locate the removable device in the left-hand navigation. This will direct you towards the SD Card folder, typically named “DCIM”. Select this folder and then the subfolder “100Media”. The photos will be sorted in order and will each start with the prefix “TSC_” followed by the number of the image that will also be on the image stamp.
