ADVANTAGES OF MOTION SENSORS
As soon as the motion detector has registered movement, the trail camera is activated and begins to record images. The period of time
between activation and the start of the recording is called the shutter release time. However, when wild animals pass by very quickly, it
is possible that only the rear part of the body or possibly nothing at all can be seen in the image. With a detection angle of approx. 50°
and a shutter speed of 0.6 seconds, this problem is almost completely solved.
RECORDING IMAGES (LIVE MODE)
The trail camera is typically used in the so-called Live Mode. In this mode, recordings are either triggered by the motion sensor as
required or periodically in accordance with a fixed schedule (depending on the setting in the app).
To activate the Live Mode, push the mode switch to ON. The red status LEDs on the front of the camera will blink for approximately 30
seconds, after which the trail camera will enter the Live Mode.
SETTING UP YOUR TRAIL CAMERA
The Test Mode (switch at SETUP) is very helpful when determining the optimal image area and motion sensor range for the scene at a
particular location.
• Push the mode switch to SETUP.
• Mount your trail camera at a height of approx. 1–2 m on a tree and aim it in the desired direction.
• Close the camera.
• From a short distance away and within the motion sensor's range, slowly move from one side of the camera to the other.
• Remain parallel to the camera and try various angles and distances.
• If the red LED on the front of the camera lights up, the motion sensor has been activated.
• In this way, you can determine the best position and direction of the trail camera.
When in Live Mode, the LED does not light up. To avoid false signals that will lead to unnecessary recordings, be sure to observe the
instructions concerning the location of your trail camera in the chapter "FASTENING THE MOUNTING STRAP". The best direction to
mount your trail camera is to the north or the south. The detection angles of the motion sensor and the camera lens is approximately
50°.
You will achieve the best results with your MINOX DTC 1200 at a distance of about 5 m. The focus of the camera has been set to this
distance.
Also make sure that the trail camera has been mounted at an appropriate height in relation to the area to be observed. If necessary, the
trail camera should be tilted slightly in order to achieve optimum alignment.
The trail camera complies with IP protection class 54. The trail camera is dust and splash-proof, and can be used regardless of the
weather.

FILE FORMATS

The trail camera stores photos and videos in a folder called "\DCIM" on the memory card. The file format for photos is .JPG (example:
"IMAGE_0010.JPG") and for videos, the ending is ".AVI".
While in the Setup Mode, you can transfer your files to a computer. Alternatively, you can insert your memory card into a card reader
and connect this with your PC to transfer your files. The video files can be played using a standard application such as Windows Media
Player, Quick-Time etc.
