Tricks and Tips on Field Setup
●
For the best results, mount the camera approximately 3 (three) feet off the
ground facing straight forward as level as possible. Keep in mind that you
may need to adjust for uneven terrain.
●
To enhance the flash, we recommend positioning the camera in an area with
a backdrop to reflect the maximum amount of light. For instance, place the
camera 20-30’ from a field edge facing the woods. For the inside of timber,
positioning the camera facing a thicket approximately 20-30’ away.
●
Clear brush away from the front of the camera to avoid false movement
triggers.
●
When covering a game trail, face the camera looking down the trail instead
of directly at it.
●
Try to set the camera facing North or South to avoid overexposure from the
sun in the morning or the evening when game movement is at its peak.
●
Use one of the Covert mounting systems to mount the camera up higher
pointing down on them for a better look. These also work great when you
do not have a straight tree to attach to. You can find our line of
mounting systems at:

When turning the camera from AIM to the ON position, there will be a 10
second countdown followed by the screen going blank. It is supposed to do
this.
Quick Tip
Format the SD card and then Default the camera. This will set the camera
back to the manufacturer’s settings.
