PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor): Senses motion like a typical security motion
detector. Requires infrared energy (heat) in addition to motion to trigger
the sensor to help limit detection to live subjects (rather than leaves, etc).
Camera Delay: Time elapsed between photos while events are sensed
and recorded. You should set this based on wildlife activity in the area.
Moon Phase: The WhiteTail trail cams have a feature which imprints a
moon phase stamp on each photo for reference.
IR Flash: Also called IR LED Array. This is a “night vision” feature, which
emits a burst of infrared light, invisible to the human eye. Especially
useful for night photos when a visible flash may be undesirable.
Battery Life: Time that camera will function in the field. Dependent on
ambient temperature, number of images taken and number of times the
IR flash fires.
When the battery voltage drops below 4.5v, the IR flash stops
firing. When battery voltage is below 3.5v, the camera stops working.
Single/Multi-Image Modes: The number of pictures the camera takes
per PIR trigger
(still photo capture mode only)
.
1P: A single image is captured for each PIR trigger
3P: A three image sequence captured for each PIR trigger
FULL: When the SD card’s memory capacity is full, the LCD display
indicates “
FULL
”
Mass Storage: Connect the camera with a USB cable to a computer,
press the “SETUP” button, and the computer can access the contents of
the SD card. The camera is automatically recognized as an “external drive”,
without the need to install special drivers. (
Win 98 and older operating
systems are not supported. Mac OSX is also compatible-the camera will
appear on your desktop as an external storage device or “disk”
).
