Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Day6 PlotWatcher Pro Game Surveillance System.

This camera continues the

tradition of technological

breakthrough started by

the original PlotWatcher

Time

Lapse HD video camera. Mounted at your

potential

hunting locations, it records HD video of all the activity that happens

in the days before you hunt, so you will know precisely when and where to

hunt.

Images are captured and stored as video frames, typically every 5 or 10

seconds, from dawn until d

usk, creating a time

compressed HD video of each

day’s activity.

The video file for each day can then be reviewed in just a few

minutes using the included GameFinder video player software.

The Game Surveillance innovation will dramatically increase

your effectiveness

as a hunter. Because you will know when and where to hunt, and have an

accurate record of recent activity, your choices will enable you to see more

animals, minimize wasted hunts, and better understand your chances for a true

trophy.

The PlotWatcher Pro breaks through battery life limitations by recording up to

120 days of activity onto an SDHC memory card.

This is 20 times more video

frames than the original PlotWatcher, and 40 to 100

times

more frames than

trail camera

The PlotWatcher Pro includes a large, easy to read LCD status screen that tells

you exactly what you need to know about the camera and allows you to take a

preview picture for aiming.

It also includes 3 slide switches for the main

settings, making i

t quick and easy to setup.

The PlotWatcher Pro gives you more flexibility, with time intervals as short as 1

second or as long as 60 minutes.

You also have the option of

ing

interchangeable Day6 accessory lenses

for greater zoom o

r wide angle

capabilities. These are

available at

the

www.day6outdoors.com

website

Thank you for putting your confidence in Day 6 Outdoor

with your purchase of

the PlotWatcher Pro.

We’re excited about

what this time

lapse camera can do

for you

and

we’d love

to hear from you. Please register your PlotWatcher Pro

Using the GameFinder Software

Page |

www.day

6outdoors.com

The GameFinder player

is an easy, fast, and fun way to view

time

lapse video

files.

To open a file, navigate to the

DCIM

100D6OPR

folder on your

memory

ard

and double click on the file of interest. You will see one file per day when not

using Mid

day

kip, or two

files per day when using

the

Mid

day

kip feature.

Note that files are named based on the camera date on which they were

created.

The quickest and easiest way to get an overview of a

time

lapse video file is to

use your mouse to drag the “Positio

n Arrow” across the play bar (this is the

triangular indicator with the frame number displayed in it). This will preview,

in a very short time, what is contained in the file. You can drag to the right to

move forward in time, or to the left to move back

ward in time.

When you see an interesting portion of the file, stop dragging the Position

Arrow and use the scroll wheel on your mouse to move forward or backward

one frame at a time. If you don’t have a scroll wheel on your mouse, you can

use the arr

ow keys or just click on the back or forward STEP button.

To see every single picture, and ensure you do not miss any frames, you can

play the file like a traditional video. Just click on the back or forward PLAY

button to begin. Clicking again will sp

eed up the play, up to 5x by clicking

several times. (After 3x, some frames may be skipped). At any point if you

see something of interest, click on the video screen or scroll the mouse wheel

to pause the video and enter step/scroll mode.

SEARCH will

cause GameFinder to search in the direction of interest (forward or

backward) for motion and will move the “Position Arrow” to the frame in the

video file where movement is detected. A vertical line is drawn on the play

bar at each point where movement

is detected. If the search feature is too

sensitive, and you are finding shadows or trees that are moving, use the

SETTINGS button to limit the region of the field of view that is searched,

and/

Page |

www.day

6outdoors.com

limit the sensitivity. The settings for the motion searc

h can be found under the

SETTINGS button.

On the FILE button, you can choose to export a single video frame as a JPEG

image, or a sequence of 50, 100, or 200 video frames as a short TLV file (best

resolution) or a compressed WMV file (best for

You

Tube

uploads).

Mounting the PlotWatcher Pro

tree

strap

is included for mounting your

Plot

atcher

Pro

to a tree. The strap

should be snug, but not too tight. The larger the tree you choose, the less

wind sway you will have in your

time

lapse video. It is sometimes helpful to

use a small stick between the top of the camera and the tree to adjust the

angle of the camera. Many game camera mounting accessories that work with

the

PlotWatcher Pro are available, such as tripods,

stakes, and adjustable tree

mount devices. If you wish to use a mounting accessory, select one that uses

¼-20 thread to mount into the base of the camera.

If theft is a concern, note that you can place

the PlotWatcher

Pro

high into

tree, generally out of sight, because it does not rely on motion triggering. You

can also use a padlock on the access door of your PlotWatcher, and

/orasecurity cable such as the Masterlock Python brand

can be passed

through the

housing to secure

your camera to a tree.

Check

www.day6outdoors.com

for

these and other

PlotWatcher

Pro accessories.

About TLV

Files

The PlotWatcher Pro normally records one video file per day. When using

the

Mid

day

Skip

feature

, it records two files per day

–

one before the skip period

and a second afterw

ards.

Anytime the camera door is opened, the current file will be closed, and a new

one

will be

created. The new file will have an incremented “letter code” (last

two characters) as described in the naming convention below.

If the

memory

card runs

low on storage space (0.1 Gb or less), the current file

will be closed, the oldest file deleted, and a new file begun.

The files are stored on the

memory

card, in the

“\DCIM

100D6OPR

\”folder.

The files are named according to date: YYMMDDAA.TLV

,where YY = Year, MM

= Month, DD = Date, and AA is a “

letter code

” that

is incremented in a

sequence (AA, AB, AC, etc

) when multiple files are created on the same date.

An example of an actual file name would be 110408AA.TLV.

TLV

files utilize the industry standard AVI format. The TLV files can be played

in Windows

Media

Player

, Apple QuickTime player, and most video editors if

opened

manually

. In some cases, it may be necessary to rename the file to end

in *.AVI.

Batteries

We recommend

that

you

begin

with 8 AA alkaline batteries, unless the daily

average temperatures are below freezing, or the night time lows are below 20

⁰

F /-6⁰C. In that case, you should

use

lithium

batteries, which work

particularly well in cold weather. You may wish to transition to rechargeable

Low

Self

Discharge NiMh batteries after you have benchmarked the operating

life in your preferred mode, on regular

alkaline

batteries.

The PlotW

atcher Pro utilizes two battery banks: an upper bank of 4 batteries,

and a lower bank of 4 batteries. You can populate one or both banks with

batteries. Battery types should not be mixed in a given bank. The camera will

always operate on the bank wit

h the higher voltage. In practice, this means

they will fall off in voltage equally, as the camera automatically switches back

and forth between the higher of the two banks. However, if you load used

batteries into one bank, and new batteries in anothe

r, then the new batteries

will be used until they reach the level of the used batteries.

The Battery % indicator on the main status page registers 100% for anything

above 6 volts, and 0% for anything below 4 volts, and a proportional

percentage for any vo

ltage in between. This is based on the voltage

characteristics of

alkaline

batteries, so keep this in mind if you are using a

different type.

Different types of batteries have different voltage

characteristics. Four new alkaline batter

ies are 4 x 1.6v = 6.4 volts. Four new

lithium batteries are 4 x 1.8v = 7.2 volts. Four new, fully charged NiMh

batteries are 4 x 1.25v = 5 volts. NiMh rechargeable batteries may show 50%

battery when first installed, yet operate for many days at th

at level. Lithium

batteries may show 100% for most of their life, and then fall rapidly.

Page |

www.day

6outdoors.com

After you have used the camera a few times with

alkaline

lithium

batteries,

you will have a good benchmark on battery life and might want to

consider

rechargeable

NiMh batteries as an alternative. Their tolerance for low

temperature is similar to alkaline batteries (av

erage

temp

erature

above

freezing, lows above 20

⁰

F /-6⁰C) but they can save you money over time.

Look for the newer “Low

Self

Discharge” NiMh batteries, sometimes referred

to as “pre

charged,” because the ordinary NiMh batteries lose their charge

over time, even when not being used.

ou can expect to get about 50% to 70%

of the runtime you would get with

alkaline

batteries, but with the very long

battery life of

the

PlotWatcher Pro, they can be an effective, economical

choice.

Memory Cards

We recommend you start out with a

new 8, 16, or 32 GB SDHC

memory

card

You might prefer to purchase two cards so that you can swap them in the field.

Note that many older computers have SD card readers that will not read the

higher capacity SDHC cards. (Cards from 2

Gb to 32Gb

are

typically

SDHC

.)If

your computer will not read the SDHC cards, you can obtain an

SDHC card

reader

that will enable

you

read SDHC cards on any computer with a USB

port.

These

SDHC card

readers are typically available on the

Accessories

section of the

www.day6outdoors.com

website.

If you are not starting with a brand new SDHC card, we recommend that you

ensure

all

other fi

les have been deleted from the card.

A large number of files,

such as music collections or photo collections will take up space and also cause

the PlotWatcher to take more time to read

from

and write

the disk,

thus

reducing battery life.

SanDisk i

s a widely available and reliable brand of SDHC memory card. You

may check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) at

www.day6outdoors.com

Page |

www.day

6outdoors.com

to see if we have found particularly good or bad performance with any cer

tain

brand of card.

NOTE: Your SDHC must be formatted with FAT32, and all cards of

32Gb

or less

usually come with this format.

Windows 7 will not format using FAT32

, so do

not reformat your SDHC cards with Windows 7. If you use Windows 7, and

ave a need to reformat your card, you will need a

third

party utility software.

See the FAQ at

www.day6outdoors.com

for more information, including the

possibility of using 64Gb and 128Gb SDXC cards formatt

ed with FAT32.

Using External Power

The PlotWatcher Pro has exceptionally long battery life

up to 120 days when

using both battery banks and capturing 8 hours per day on a 10 second interval.

Service time will be shorter with shorter ti

me intervals or more hours of video

per day. If you wish to extend the operating time, or eliminate the reliance

upon AA batteries, you may use the external power port.

The

external

power

port

in the

PlotWatcher

Pro is 12v, w

ith the

center

positive and the outer shell negative polarity. It uses a 5.5mm x 2.1mm

connector DC power plug common to many trail cameras accessory devices,

such as cables with clips, solar devices, battery packs, etc.

Be sure the pl

ug fits

securely into the receptacle to avoid moisture entering the camera. If your

plug is not large enough to fit securely, you may want to enlarge the diameter

with tape.

See

www.day6outdoors.com

for

compatible devices and accessory

cables.

Note that although the PlotWatcher Pro internally operates on 6 volts, the

external power port utilizes nominal 12 volts (10v

–

15v) because this is the

most widely available voltage for external power sources. E

xamples include

sealed lead

acid (SLA) batteries, deep cycle RV/Marine batteries, and solar

panel accessories.

Page |

www.day

6outdoors.com

If you wish to use a solar panel accessory, be sure it is a 12v model

.It is a good

idea to

select one that has an integrat

ed battery

or a battery charging circuit

connected to an external battery which is connected to the PlotWatcher Pro.

If your solar panel is not used in conjunction with an integrated or external

battery, it can still prolong the life of your camera by p

roviding the operating
