IMAGE REVIEW SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

Download you r free Image Review s oftware at w ww.moultriefeeders.com/imagesoftware
For PC users : Installation and o peration instr uctions are avai lable here, as well.

For Mac user s: This softw are is not Mac-compatibl e. You can import your ima ge les into a progra m such as iMovie and iPh oto.

PIR Sensitivity

PIR Sensitivi ty allows you to cont rol as to how much moveme nt and at what distan ce
the camera wi ll trigger. HIGH sensit ivity will allow f or more

distance, bu t will make
the camera sli ghtly more suscep tible to false tri ggers and is ideal fo r open areas such as
elds and foo d plots. LOW sensiti vity

will shorte n the distance but lo wer the chance of

false trigg ers and is ideal for c lose range traps a nd deeply wooded ar eas.

Setting Multi-Shot

Choose how many p ictures you woul d like captured in a se quence
when the came ra is triggered (1 or 3).

Available options are:

1 (OFF) - Single photo taken per event.

3 BURST - Three ra pidly captured p hotos taken per event . All 3 photos are capt ured within one se cond.

NOTE: Burst m ode is only capable o f up to 4MP captures , regardless of you r resolution set ting.

3 TRIGGERED - Up to three photos ar e captured per even t with an approxima te one second delay be tween each capt ure. Each subsequ ent photo
after the r st requires an in dividual trigg er. This allows for multi ple potential image c aptures of the sa me event while reduc ing the chance of
empty image s if the subject m oves out of the eld of vi ew after the rs t shot.
