Connecting To A Computer - Minox DTC 1200 Mode D'emploi

Setting up your trail camera
The Test Mode (switch at SETUP) is very helpful when determi-
ning the optimal image area and motion sensor range for the
scene at a particular location.
Push the mode switch to SETUP.
Mount your trail camera at a height of approx. 1–2 m on a
tree and aim it in the desired direction.
Close the camera.
From a short distance away and within the motion sensor's
range, slowly move from one side of the camera to the other.
Remain parallel to the camera and try various angles and
distances.
If the red LED on the front of the camera lights up, the moti-
on sensor has been activated.
In this way, you can determine the best position and directi-
on of the trail camera.
When in Live Mode, the LED does not light up. To avoid fal-
se signals that will lead to unnecessary recordings, be sure to
observe the instructions concerning the location of your trail
camera in the chapter "FASTENING THE MOUNTING STRAP".
The best direction to mount your trail camera is to the north or
the south. The detection angles of the motion sensor and the
camera lens is approximately 50°.
You will achieve the best results with your MINOX DTC 1200 at
a distance of about 5 m. The focus of the camera has been set
to this distance.

Also make sure that the trail camera has been mounted at an
appropriate height in relation to the area to be observed. If
necessary, the trail camera should be tilted slightly in order to
achieve optimum alignment.
The trail camera complies with IP protection class 54. The trail
camera is dust and splash-proof, and can be used regardless
of the weather.
File formats
The trail camera stores photos and videos in a folder called "\
DCIM" on the memory card. The file format for photos is .JPG
(example: "IMAGE_0010.JPG") and for videos, the ending is ".AVI".
While in the Setup Mode, you can transfer your files to a com-
puter. Alternatively, you can insert your memory card into a card
reader and connect this with your PC to transfer your files. The
video files can be played using a standard application such as
Windows Media Player, Quick-Time etc.

CONNECTING TO A COMPUTER

You can connect your trail camera directly to a computer using
a USB cable.
Switch the camera to Setup Mode.
Connect a standard micro-USB cable to the camera's micro-
USB port and then connect the standard USB end to the
computer.
The trail camera will automatically switch to USB mode
("Mass Storage").
The trail camera will then install itself as an additional drive
and will be labelled "SD".
Double click on this drive; you will find the "DCIM" folder
there.
The photos and videos will be found in the "DCIM" subfolder.
You can now copy or move your photo and video files to
your computer.
On Mac computers, a new drive will appear on the desktop. If
you click on this drive, the Finder will start.
