MOUNTING and POSITIONING the TROPHY
CAM HD
Mounting
After you've set up the camera's parameters to your personal preferences
at home or in your truck, you're ready to take it outside and slide the power
switch to "ON". When setting up the Trophy Cam HD for scouting game or
other outdoor applications, you must be sure to mount it in place correctly
and securely. We recommend mounting the Trophy Cam HD on a sturdy
tree with a diameter of about 6 in. (15cm). To get the optimal picture quality,
the tree should be about 16-17 ft. (5 meters) away from the place to be
monitored, with the camera placed at a height of 5-6.5 ft. (1.5~2 m). Also,
keep in mind that you will get the best results at night when the subject is
within the ideal flash range, no farther than 60' (19m) and no closer than 10'
(3m) from the camera.
There are two ways to mount the Trophy Cam HD: using the provided
adjustable web belt, or the tripod socket.
Using the adjustable web belt: Fig. 5 illustrates using the web belt on
the Trophy Cam HD. Push one end of the belt through the two brackets
on the back of the Trophy Cam HD. Thread one plastic buckle part onto
each end of the belt. Fasten the belt securely around the tree trunk by
clicking the buckle ends together after tightening the belt so there is no
slack left.
Using the tripod socket: The camera is equipped with a socket at the
bottom end to enable mounting on a tripod or other mounting accessories
with a standard1/4-20 thread.
