CAMERA BASICS
REMOVE CAMERA FROM THE MOUNTING BRACKET
• Push the tab to release the camera from the mounting bracket.
• Remove the camera.
CHOOSE A POWER SOURCE
You can use either 8 alkaline or lithium AA batteries; our LIT-09/
LIT-C-8 lithium battery pack; an external 12V power source. In order
to get best results and longer battery life, we recommend the use of an
external 12V source like the ones below.
Rechargeable 12V
battery, charger
& housing kit
To open the battery compartment door for the AA batteries or our
lithium battery pack, push the button under the camera. To ensure
maximum performance of the camera with AA batteries and prevent
battery leak, we recommend the use of 8 new batteries. Make sure
to insert each AA battery with the correct polarity. Do not mix battery
type - use ALL alkaline or ALL lithium. Rechargeable AA batteries are not
recommended as the lower voltage they produce can cause operational
issues.
Observe the proper battery polarity orientation according
to the (+) and (-) marks when installing AA batteries.

slot, gold contacts facing down as shown on the camera. The card is
inserted correctly when a click is heard.
We suggest to format your SD card if it's been in another electronic
device to make sure you will have the maximum capacity of your
memory card.
FINDING THE SIM ID

INSTALLATION OF THE CAMERA
Install the camera with or without the mounting bracket:
Recommended installation height:
The camera should be installed at the same height as the animal’s
mid-body.
Ideal installation for quality pictures & videos:
The targeted animal should be 25 feet / 7.5m away from the camera for
a better eld of view.
To get brighter pictures at night , you should have elements in the
background to reect back the IR ash to the camera.
Note that the camera should not directly be facing the sun to avoid
back lighting and false detection.
START THE CAMERA
We suggest to format your SD card if it’s been in another electronic
device to make sure you will have the maximum capacity of your
memory card.
1. Turn the camera ON
Use the ON/OFF switch to turn the camera ON.
2. All lights ashing - Searching for signal
The signal search can take a few minutes. If you only see
1 bar ashing, the network test was unsuccessful. Move
outside or get near a window and re-start the camera a few
times if need be to connect to the cell network.
3. Number of lights - signal strength
Once the network test is completed, you will see the
signal strength in signal bars. Note that the signal bars on a
LINK-EVO might not be equal to your other cellular devices
as there’s no industry standard and practice to label dBm
values to a specic number of bars.
4. Red light ashing (30 s) - Installation delay
The test light in front of the camera will ash for 30 seconds to allow
the user to leave the area without being photographed or recorded.
5. All lights OFF - Camera ready
The camera has updated it’s status in the LINK app with it’s latest
informations. The camera is now ready to take pictures and transmit
