INTRODUCTION

About the Tasco Trail Camera

Your new Tasco® Trail Camera is a digital scouting camera. It tin can be triggered by any movement of live animals in a location, detected by a highly sensitive Passive Infra-Red (PIR) motion sensor, so take high quality photos (6MP
or 8MP resolution, depending on model), or video clips (720p, x seconds length).

The Tasco Trail Camera consumes very piffling power (< 0.5mA) in a stand-by (surveillance) state. This means it can deliver up to half dozen months stand-by operation time when the device is powered by eight AA alkaline metal batteries, and upwardly to twelve months utilizing eight lithium AA batteries (thirty images per mean solar day, fifteen west/flash).

One time motion in the monitored surface area is detected, the digital photographic camera unit of measurement will exist triggered at once (typically less than 1 second) and then automatically take photos or videos (your pick). The Tasco Trail Camera is equipped with congenital-in infrared (IR) LEDs that part as a flash, so that information technology delivers articulate photos or videos (in black & white) even in the nighttime, and it tin have color photos or videos nether sufficient daylight. The Tasco Trail Photographic camera is designed for outdoor use and is h2o resistant.

PARTS and CONTROLS

Release the two latches on the right side of the photographic camera and swing the front cover over to the left to access the controls. A three-fashion ability/mode switch is used to select the main operating modes: OFF, AIM, and ON (Fig. 1)

When the power switch is set to the AIM center position, the camera is in Setup Mode. The AIM position can besides be used to verify the area the camera will monitor. The LCD Brandish volition show the camera's current settings in Setup Way. The Up, Downwards and OK keys are used to set the date and time (to be imprinted on each photo/video), change the interval or "detection delay" time between images while an animate being remains in range of the camera's sensor, select Photo or Video capture mode, set a camera ID number for your reference, and format the SD card (erase all files). Once you setup the camera, switch it to ON for normal operation.

INSTALLING BATTERIES and SD Card

Before you begin to utilise your Tasco Trail Camera, you volition commencement need to install a set of batteries and insert an SD card. Although that may only take you a minute, there are some important notes about both batteries and SD cards you should be aware
of, and then please take the time to read the following directions and cautions:

Loading Batteries

Press the Battery Tray Eject Push button to release the battery tray and pull it out for loading (Fig. 2). Switch the camera'southward power OFF when loading/unloading batteries. Be sure to insert each bombardment so its polarity (+/- direction) matches the polarity
indications at the lesser of the battery tray.

The camera is capable of operating with only 4 batteries installed if necessary, but a total fix of 8 batteries should commonly be used to ensure the longest operating time. Tasco recommends using eight new lithium AA (Energizer® brand) or alkaline AA batteries. NiMh Rechargeable batteries can also be used, simply they might have a shorter life span due to their reduced efficiency over time and at low temperature.

Inserting the SD Card

The Tasco Trail Camera uses a standard SD (Secure Digital) retentivity carte du jour to save your photos (.jpg format) or videos (.avi format). SD and SDHC (High Capacity) course iv or college speed cards, up to a maximum 32GB are supported.

Brand sure that the write-protect switch on the side of the carte is "off" (NOT in the "Lock" position). With the power switch in the OFF position, insert the SD carte du jour in the slot on the lower right side of the photographic camera (Fig. 3) until it clicks
in place. If the wrong side of the card is facing upwards, you will not be able to insert it without forcefulness-there is only 1 correct way to insert cards.
If the SD card is non inserted correctly, or no carte du jour is in the slot, "Card" will appear on the LCD Display, and the photographic camera will non operate (Fig. four, next folio). Other bill of fare status display letters: "Full" indicates the card's
memory is full, with no remaining room to store files (meet below). "Err" ways there is a card reading mistake (endeavor a different SD carte du jour).
Formatting the SD card before using it for the outset time is recommended, specially when a menu has been used in other devices. This tin be done using the camera's "Format" part (pg. viii, "SD Card Format"). Make sure
y'all have backed upward (saved to your calculator) any files yous want to keep on a previously used carte du jour, as formatting erases ALL files.
To take out the SD bill of fare, merely gently push in the card (do not try to pull it out without pushing in outset). The card is released from the slot and ready to be removed when you lot hear the click. Be sure the camera's power is switched OFF before removing or inserting SD cards.

SETUP MODE

One time batteries are installed and an SD card is inserted, you're ready to go into the Setup Mode to get the camera ready to use, with all options set up to your preferences. While this tin can exist done in the field (no calculator or internet access is needed), almost
users will likely want to setup the camera at abode, in advance. In that location are only a few settings to make, and then the process is quick and like shooting fish in a barrel. To kickoff setting up your Tasco Trail Camera:

To enter Setup Style, movement the Power Switch to the eye (AIM) position (Fig. 1). The display will come on and prove the initial Setup screen (Fig. 5). Note: Don't worry if you notice the Condition LED flashing during the
Setup process-this is normal, as the AIM position of the switch has a second function that will be covered later in this manual.
Printing the OK central to brainstorm. When the display flashes, you lot can use the Up and Downwards keys to change the setting of the currently selected selection or item.
When yous finish changing a setting (or leaving it set "as is"), printing OK to lock in the setting and movement on to the next option/detail. If there is a setting that you don't need or want to change from the default or current setting, simply
press OK to confirm and skip to the side by side item/option. Once you get through the Setup Way items and change a few settings, you'll quickly see how this works.

SETUP Fashion

Setting Time and Date (Fig. vi)

Afterward the Initial Setup screen, the next few display screens will allow y'all to prepare the current fourth dimension and engagement, and so the time/date stamp imprinted on all your photos and videos volition be authentic when captured by the camera. To modify the Time and Appointment to be current, starting at the default "12 : 00" screen (meet Fig. half dozen):

Press OK and apply Upwardly/Downwards to prepare the hour (24 hr/ military time format). Press OK to ostend.

Setting Interval (Detection Delay) Time (Fig. 7)

The Interval or Detection Delay choice lets you set the time between captured images when an animal remains within the camera'southward sensor range after it is first detected and the camera is triggered. Utilize UP/Downwards to select 5 sec (brandish shows "00:05"), 15 sec (default value), 30 sec, ane min (display shows "01:00") or 5 min. Press OK after setting.

Setting Capture Manner (one photo, 3 photos, or video) (Fig. 8)

Utilize Upward/Down to select your preferred epitome capture way: Unmarried Photo per trigger (brandish shows 1 + a still photographic camera icon), Rapid Sequence of 3 Photos per trigger (display shows a even so camera icon + three) or Video Clips that are 10 seconds long at 720p resolution (display shows a movie photographic camera icon). Printing OK after setting.

Setting Camera ID# (if using multiple cameras) (Fig. 9)

Use Upward/Downwardly to select a reference ID# (from "01" to "99") for this camera, which volition be imprinted on all photos/videos along with the time & date. If you are only using a unmarried camera to monitor an expanse, only leave it set up to the default "Id : 01". Set a second camera that volition exist used in a group of multiple cameras
to "02", etc. Press OK after setting.

SD Card Format (delete all files) (Fig. 10)

The display will testify "FOrN" (see Fig. 11). Circumspection: be sure to backup and salve whatever/all files you lot want to keep first, as formatting will clear the card completely of all files-they will then be difficult or impossible to recover from the card.

If you are sure you desire to format a previously used menu, apply Up/DOWN to change the "N" afterward "FOr_" to "Y" (Aye), so printing OK to confirm and delete all files from the card.

MOUNTING AND AIMING THE Camera

Mounting

After setting the camera'south time/engagement and other options to your preferences, you're ready to accept it outside and begin capturing images of animals in the area you want to monitor. When setting up the Tasco Trail Camera for scouting game or other
outdoor applications, you must be sure to mount it in place correctly and securely. We recommend mounting the Tasco Trail Camera on a sturdy tree with a diameter of almost 6 inches. To become the optimal picture quality, the tree should be nearly 16-17 ft. away from the place to be monitored, with the camera placed at a superlative of 2.v-
iii.5 ft. Also, keep in mind that you volition become the best results at dark when the
bailiwick is inside the platonic flash range, no further than 40 ft. and no closer than 10 ft. from the photographic camera.

At that place are two ways to mountain the Tasco Trail Photographic camera: using the provided adjustable spider web belt, or the tripod socket.

Using the adaptable web belt: Push one finish of the belt through the ii brackets on the back of the Tasco Trail Photographic camera (Fig. 12). Thread the finish of the strap through the buckle. Spike the belt securely around the tree trunk by
pulling the end of the strap firmly so there is no slack left.

Note: information technology is not possible to utilize a cable lock (in the upper part of the bracket) and the web belt at the aforementioned time.

Using the tripod socket: The photographic camera is equipped with a socket at the bottom cease to enable mounting on a tripod or other mounting accessories that use a standard1/iv-20 thread.

Sensing Angle and Distance Test

To test whether the Tasco Trail Camera tin can effectively monitor the expanse you choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing angle and monitoring distance of the Tasco Trail Camera. To perform the test:

Switch the camera'south Power Switch to AIM. You can ignore the Setup display, no need to change whatsoever settings (provided you already gear up the time/date and other Setup Mode options in accelerate).
Make movements in front of the camera at several positions within the area where you lot expect the game or subjects to be. Try different distances and angles from the photographic camera.
If the AIM/Status LED (Fig. 1) blinks, information technology indicates that position tin be sensed. If information technology does not glimmer, that position is exterior of the sensing expanse.

The results of your testing will help you find the best placement when mounting and aiming the Tasco Trail Camera. The vertical acme away from the basis for placing the device should vary with the animal size appropriately. In general, 3 to vi feet is preferred.

Yous tin avoid potential simulated triggers due to temperature and move disturbances in front of the camera past not aiming it at a rut source or nearby tree branches and brush (especially on windy days).

Switching ON the Camera

One time yous movement the Power Switch to ON, the AIM/Status LED volition blink for several seconds. This gives you lot time to shut and lock the front encompass of the Tasco Trail Camera and then walk abroad. During this time, the AIM/Status LED will blink
continuously.

After it stops blinking, the PIR sensor is active, and whatsoever move that is detected past it will trigger the capture of photos or videos as programmed in Setup Style. Be certain you have read the photographic camera Setup Style department. Delight note, the PIR is strongly sensitive to ambience temperature. The greater the temperature divergence between the surround and your subject, the further the possible sensing distance.

Before leaving the camera unattended, delight bank check for the following:

Are the batteries inserted with correct polarity and is their ability level sufficient?
Does the SD carte have sufficient available infinite and is its write-protection (lock) switch off?
Is the Power switch in the ON position? (do non leave it set to AIM).

SAVING/VIEWING THE FILES ON YOUR COMPUTER

After you lot have setup, mounted and activated your Tasco Trail Camera, y'all will of course exist eager to return later and review the images it has captured for you. The best way to exercise this is to switch the photographic camera OFF and remove the SD card so you can take information technology home to download and review your photos/videos at leisure.

To go along using the camera, only insert another SD card (format information technology first in the Setup Mode menu if necessary, later on making sure you have backed up any files you lot want to keep that are left on a previously used carte du jour) and switch the camera dorsum ON. The time/appointment and other settings made in Setup Mode volition remain unchanged as long as the batteries remain in the camera and provide adequate power for it to operate.

Downloading and Reviewing Files From the SD Card

Insert the SD card y'all removed from your camera into the SD carte slot of your computer if it has one, or the SD slot of a USB card reader accessory (follow the directions provided by the manufacturer).

Depending on the computer's operating organisation, the SD card's icon and proper noun will then be visible on your desktop, nether "Devices with Removable Storage" in "My Computer" or in a list of drives and connected devices. Double click the SD card or card reader's icon to open it and view the file names (you may demand to open an boosted folder or two inside the start level).

Notation: some computers and operating systems may automatically launch a popular-upwards window that lets you lot view or save the photos/videos on the card soon after it's inserted.

Alternatively, you tin can connect a uniform USB cable (not included) to the USB port on the right side of the camera (Fig. 13) to your figurer-this is less convenient every bit it requires removing the camera from the tree. The camera then effectively becomes an SD card reader (USB "mass storage device") and can exist used as described in a higher place.

If the SD card is non recognized by the reckoner after 30 seconds (with the card in the photographic camera), try switching the camera to ON or using a unlike USB port on the computer (not an unpowered USB hub). Notation: the mini plug jack side by side to the USB port is for manufactory service and diagnostic usage just. Do not connect any device to it.

Each new image or video will be numbered incrementally in club of the time it was captured. For instance, you will meet file names such as "00000001.JPG" or "00000001.AVI". Through the file format suffix you tin distinguish whether the file is a still photo (with suffix .jpg) or a video (with suffix .avi).

Your computer should have the option of allowing you to view the files equally preview images instead of file names/types (Windows: More Options>Small to Large Icons, Mac: View>as Icons). Double clicking whatsoever individual file volition let you view the photo or video total screen within whatever awarding is associated with that file format.

Select any/all files y'all want to backup and elevate or copy/paste them to your computer's hard drive wherever you lot normally keep photos and videos. You lot may desire to create a new binder named "Tasco Trail Cam" or some other specific championship to keep them separate from family photos, etc. One time the card'south files accept been backed
up, y'all can delete whatsoever that you determine not to go on.

The same card tin can and so be returned to your Tasco Trail Photographic camera for future utilise. Utilise the format feature in Setup Fashion to erase the entire card if you want to take its full capacity available to shop every bit many images as possible before it becomes total and
you need to go through this remove > download > fill-in > format > reuse process once more. Using higher capacity cards and/ or swapping out multiple cards will allow you to do this less frequently.

TROUBLESHOOTING / FAQ

Photographic camera takes continuous images of no subject A photographic camera has what is known as a "faux trigger" if the PIR sensor thinks that there is movement and heat in front of the camera lens when there is no subject field in the image. These "Simulated Triggers"
are the result of placing the photographic camera in an environment where there is motility associated with tree branches creating movement in front end of the camera or an expanse where there is high estrus in the foreground and whatsoever motion from wind could set off the camera. Setting a camera up over water is also a potential cause for this issue. To remedy this situation:

Try moving the camera to an area that does non accept any of these bug or remove potential obstacles near the lens if possible.
