The recordings can be viewed with the help of a laptop or PC. You
have 2 options for this:
1. Connect the camera directly to the computer using an optional
USB-C data cable. To do this, plug the USB-C data cable into the
USB-C socket (14) of the camera and connect it to the USB port
of your computer.
2. Remove the memory card from the camera and read it out with
an external card reader (optionally available).
10 | MOUNTING / DIRECTING / ACTIVATING
10.1 Mounting and directing the camera
Pull the supplied mounting strap (20) through the eyelet (17) on the
backside of the camera. Mount the camera to a tree, pole or any other
suitable object. Do not fix the belt finally at this stage.
We recommend placing the camera at a height of 0.75 m to 1.00 m.
The optimal distance to the subject is between 3 and 10 m. Larger
distances are possible as well, but then the reliability of the motion
sensor is no longer given. The camera lens (04) should now point to
where the object is expected to show-up.
To verify your camera is hung up in a correct angle, we recommend
taking a view test photos (see chapter 09). The camera should be di-
rected in a way that the object will appear in the centre of the picture.
You may have to re-adjust the camera and take another test shot.
▶ NOTICE
To change the camera angle you can use e.g. a small wooden wedge
between camera and trunk. Please also note chapter 11 with our ex-
tensive range of accessories for installation and anti-theft protec-
tion.
Once the camera position is correct, the mounting belt (20) can be
tightened to hold the camera firmly. After successful assembly and
test recording, switch the camera o (11 = OFF).
10.2 Turn on camera and start surveillance
In order to get the camera ready to work, move the slide control (11)
to the position ON and close the camera housing. After approx. 10
seconds, the camera will be active. In case of movements detected, it
takes pictures according to your settings.

10.3 Notes for mounting the camera
10.3.1 PIR sensor
The PIR sensor triggers only under specific circumstances within a
certain range. The capturing of objects strongly depends on tem-
perature, vegetal cover, reflecting surfaces etc. Under perfect con-
ditions the recognition range can be up to 20m. Usually, you may
expect a range of 15 m. It may take a few attempts to find a good
position for the camera. During photo test, be aware that animals
are usually remarkably smaller than human beings. Animals might
be below the PIR sensor detection range and not be captured.
10.3.2 Light conditions
Avoid direct backlight when mounting the camera. The lens should
not point directly into the sun and camera should not be placed in
shadow.
10.3.3 Weather protection
Although the camera is weatherproof and well-suited for outdoor
use (dust and jet water protected according to IP66 protection
class) we recommend mounting the camera in a secured place not
facing the weather exposed side. Prevent the camera from driving
