9. MOUNTING AND POSITIONING THE CAMERA
9.1. MOUNTING
After you've set up the camera's parameters to your personal
preferences at home, you're ready to take it outside and slide the
power switch to "ON". When setting up the camera for scouting
game or other outdoor applications, you must be sure to mount
it in place correctly and securely. We recommend mounting the
camera on a sturdy tree with a diameter of about 6 in. (15cm).
To get the optimal picture quality, the tree should be about
16-17ft. (5 meters) away from the place to be monitored, with
the camera placed at a height of 2.5-3.5ft. (0.75-1m). Also, keep
in mind that you will get the best results at night when the
subject is within the ideal flash range, no farther than 65' (20m)
and no closer than 10' (3m) from the camera.
There are two ways to mount the camera: using the provided
adjustable web belt, or the tripod socket.
Using the adjustable strap: Use the strap on the camera as
illustrated. Push one end of the strap through the two brackets
on the back of the camera. Thread the end of the strap through
the buckle. Fasten the strap securely around the tree trunk by
pulling the end of the strap firmly so there is no slack left
(Figure 8). Note: it is not possible to use a cable lock (in the
upper part of the bracket) and the strap at the same time.
Using the tripod socket: The camera is equipped with a socket
at the bottom end to enable mounting on a tripod or other
mounting accessories with a standard UNC 1/4-20 thread screw
(user supplied).
