10 | MOUNTING THE CAMERA

Pull the supplied mounting strap through the eyelet (21) on camera rear side and mount the camera to a tree, pole or any suitable object. Do not fi x the belt fi nally at this stage. The optimum distance to the object is between 3 to 10 meters. Larger distances are also possible, however with less reliability of motion sensor. We recommend to direct the camera fi rst (refer to capture 11) and to take a few test shots before fi xing the camera fi nally. Our optional accessories such as the patented DÖRR holding fi xture in combination with the DÖRR universal adapter are designed for fast and easy mounting of the camera at a tree, wall or other object. The camera clicks into the holding fi xture and is fi rmly held in place. The camera can be removed easily for a quick change of place of action. The ball head with fi xing screw ensure a fl exible direction of the camera. The fi xture is rotatable by 360° and swivels up to 30° in all directions. Ask your specialised dealer for: With an additional cable lock (optional) pulled through the specifi c eyelets (20) on camera rear side, your camera will be secured safely against theft.

11 | ORIENTATION OF THE CAMERA

To achieve perfect pictures, the camera must be oriented properly: 1. Fix the camera at a height of 0,75m to 1,00m and slightly tilt it forward. The camera lens (4) should now point to the position, where the object of photography or fi lming is expected. 2. Move the slide control (12) to the position SETUP and close the camera housing. When you move in front of camera the LED indicator (2) is fl ashing red and the motion detector is active. The red LED (2) will fl ash as long as you are moving within the motion detectors range.

3. We suggest that you now take a test picture. Move the slide control (12) to position ON and close the camera housing.

After approx. 5s is the camera ready to detect (while camera is preparing the red LED (2) is fl ashing). 4. Move with normal speed through detection area. The camera releases and you can view the image on the monitor as described in capture 08 | PLAYBACK. The camera should be oriented 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. TIP: To change the camera angle you may use e.g. a small wooden wedge and clamp it between camera and trunk.

5. Once the camera position is correct, the mounting belt can be tightened to hold the camera fi rmly.

12 | START SURVEILLANCE In order to get the camera ready to work, move the slide control (12) to the position ON. Then close the camera housing. After approx. 5 seconds, the camera will be active. In case of movements detected, it takes pictures according to your settings.22 13 | CAMERA INSPECTION There are various possibilities to check if images have been taken. 1. Open the camera and switch it o . After 1 to 2 seconds switch the slide control (12) to SETUP mode. On the LCD display you can see the starting image. The bottom line shows how many pictures have been taken and how many more will fi t on the SD card (e.g. 000034/001846m). Press the OK button (11) to view the images on the LCD display (8).

2. Alternatively, you can view the images comfortably on your home PC using an image viewer.

CAUTION: To avoid camera damages always make sure that camera is switched o (12=OFF) before removing SD card! 3. When checking the camera function, also check battery status. If the batteries are no longer providing su cient power, there may be defi cien- cies with the quality of the pictures, especially with nightly shots since the fl ash requires more energy than available. In case of doubt, ex- change the batteries.

The camera only works with an SD memory card. There are SD cards which may not work with the DÖRR SnapShot and may a ect the function of the camera. Usually it helps to use another SD card of other brand or di erent capacity. We recommend using a SD card with a capacity of 8GB up to max. 32GB (e.g. LEXAR cards, optionally available from DÖRR). LENS RATTLES The camera lens is covered with a fi lter which allows coloured pictures at daylight and black & white shots at night. When camera is turned o the fi lter is not fi xed which can cause the rattle noise. However, this is no defect. WEATHER PROTECTION Although the camera is weatherproof and well-suited for outdoor use, we recommend to mount it at a secured place, so not on the weather side or in the direct sunshine. After long periods of humidity, caused by rain or fog, the camera should be stored in a dry area for a few days. Dust and splash waterproof according to protection class IP54. MOTION SENSOR The motion sensor will react under certain circumstances and within a certain range. In general the range of recognition is slightly larger than the range covered by the image. The recognition of the objects depends on temperature, vegetal cover, refl ecting surfaces and more circumstan- ces. Under optimum conditions, a perfectly oriented camera and high sensitivity level adjustment, the recognition range can be up to 12-15m. Usually, you may expect a range of 10 m. It can take a few attempts to fi nd the proper position for your camera. When you test the motion sensor reaction, be aware of the facts that animals are usually remarkably smaller than human beings. So they may not be recognized. LIGHT CONDITIONS Avoid direct back light, as you do in normal photography. When you choose the camera position, make sure that there will be no direct back light and also that the camera will not be placed in the shadow.23
