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 6in. (15cm). To get the optimal
picture quality, the tree should be about 16-17ft. (5m) 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 75ft. (23m) and no closer than 10ft.
(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: In order to use the strap on the
camera, 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 18).
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).
