User manual TASCO 119215C

[. . . ] Congratulations on your purchase of one of the best trail cameras on the market!Tasco is very proud of this little unit and we are sure you will be pleased with it as well. We appreciate your business and want to earn your trust. Please refer to the notes below and the instructions in this manual to ensure that you are completely satisfied with this product. [. . . ] Once your camera has been setup, you are ready to begin using it to capture photos of wildlife activity in the area you choose to locate it. It is recommended that you mount the camera about 4 or 5 feet (1. 5 meters) off the ground, with the camera pointed at a slight downward angle. It's best to avoid mounting the camera facing east or west as the rising and setting of the sun could produce false triggers and overexposed images. Clear branches and other debris away from the front of the camera so as not to block the camera lens or PIR sensor. Make sure that both door latches are securely locked in place, to ensure proper weather resistance. When the PIR sensor is triggered, it will start to take photos immediately after the delay time (as set) has passed. After mounting the camera, open the front housing and slide the "Power" switch to the "ON" position. The PIR indicator light below the lens will blink when you have entered the coverage area. Adjust the camera position as needed and repeat the test until the desired coverage area is achieved. Press the SETUP button again when you are finished using the test modethe camera will be "sleeping" and waiting for the PIR sensor to trigger the first photo or video capture. A standard padlock may be used in the camera's lock hole to secure it and prevent theft. After your camera has been operating for awhile, you will of course want to review the photos and/or videos it has been capturing. This can be done by either of two methods, according to your preference or the availability of accessory equipment: using an SD Card Reader Push the SD card in slightly to release it then pull it out gently. Put the SD card into any of the widely available SD card readers (either a dedicated SD card reader or "multi-card reader" that features slots for several different memory cards, including SD cards. Follow the card reader supplier's directions to view or download the photo and/or video files on the SD card. connect the Camera to PC directly Slide the "Power" switch to the "On" position , then press the "SETUP" button. Connect your camera to a PC with the provided USB cable. The PC will recognize the camera as an external storage device, using the "USB Mass Storage" standard (no driver installation necessary-not compatible with Windows 98 or earlier). The PC will display a new disk symbol under "My Computer" or in Windows Explorer, and you will see a dialog window on your desktop with several options to view, move, or copy the photo and video files that are stored on the SD card. Requires infrared energy (heat) in addition to motion to trigger the sensor to help limit detection to live animals (rather than leaves, etc). Camera Delay: Time elapsed between photos while events are sensed and recorded. [. . . ] When the camera is in the "Setup" mode, the PIR Indicator LED on the front of the camera will flash when it senses motion. This is for setup purposes only and will help the user aim the camera. During use, the LED will not flash when the camera takes an image. This is to help keep the camera hidden from game. [. . . ]
