Tasco Digital Trail Camera 119215C - Manuel (Page 16)

16
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 animals (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 activity level of some animals seems to be related to
the phases of the moon. The trail cam has 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.
Burst: The number of pictures the camera takes per PIR trigger.
1P: Single image captured for each PIR trigger
3P: Three image sequence captured for each PIR trigger
FULL: When memory capacity is full, the LCD display indicates “FuLL”
Mass Storage: Connect the 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 OS9 and OSX are also compatible-the camera will
appear on your desktop as an external storage device or “disk”).
