Detection Range

e motion sensor detects the temperature dierence

between the air and the animal. e range at which

an animal will be detected varies with animal size,

movement speed, air temperature and the heat of

the animal.

1. Detection range will be reduced in hot

(over 80˚ F) temperatures.

2. Animals walking directly towards the camera

may not be detected until they are very close

(10 feet) to the camera.

3. Animals with thick hair (deer in winter) will

be harder to detect than animals with a thin

summer coat. is can result in reduced

detection range in winter.

4. e larger the animal the further away it can

be detected. For example, a deer may be detected

beyond 50 feet, but a fox may only be detected

to 25 feet.

5. A moving animal is detected better than

stationary animals. A small ying bird can be

detected because of the wing movement

and speed.

6. Stationary animals may not be detected.

An animal standing in front of the camera

may not be detected until it moves.

Using the camera in cold conditions

Be aware of these things if you use your camera

in extreme cold (below 0˚C or 32˚F).

1. Battery life may be reduced by as much

as 50% or more.

2. Night illumination range may be reduced

because cold batteries typically cannot

deliver the same amount of power to the

LEDs as warm batteries.

3. Flash cameras are not as aected by cold

as much LED based cameras are.

4. Lithium batteries operate much better in

cold conditions and will allow the night

illumination to be about as good as during

warm conditions.
