BATTERY and SD CARD INSTALLATION

The Tasco 119215 Digital Scouting Camera is designed to operate using
4 AA batteries. We recommend using Lithium (for longest life) or Alkaline
batteries.

NOTE: Always set the power switch to the OFF position when installing or
removing batteries.

Please make sure the batteries are inserted correctly, as indicated inside
the battery compartment. Incorrect voltage or polarity (+/-) will damage
the camera.

Memory

Your 119215 Digital Scouting Camera has a memory card slot, to accept
SD cards up to 16GB max. capacity (sold separately).

Inserting an SD card

Make sure camera is in the OFF position whenever adding or removing
memory.
Insert an SD card into the card slot completely and oriented correctly
as shown by the icon under the SETUP button (contacts facing up and
notched corner on the left).
To remove the SD memory card, depress the SD card and pull out the card
gently.

Using a new, blank SD card is recommended. If the SD card has been used
in another device, please make sure to format using the Format option

choice.

• Press “UP” or “DOWN” to select “Y” (Yes) or “N” (No), then press “OK” to
conrm. This step provides an extra level of safety, to help prevent
you from accidently formatting a card with les you wanted to keep.

If you select “FO” in the rst step, then select “Y” and press “OK”,
the camera will format the SD card-all les on the card will be
erased.

Exiting the Setup Menu

Once you have nished using the Setup menu, press “SETUP” to save all
your settings, and exit the Setup menu. You are now ready to take your
Trail Cam outside and begin using it to record wildlife activity.

13

CAMERA OPERATION

Once your camera has been setup, you are ready to begin using it to
capture photos of wildlife activity in the area you choose to locate it. Just
follow these steps:

1. Mount the Camera

It is recommended that you mount the camera about 4 or 5 feet (1.2~1.5
meters) o the ground, with the camera pointed at a slight downward
angle. It’s best to avoid mounting the camera facing east or west as the
rising and setting of the sun could produce false triggers and overexposed
images. Clear branches and other debris away from the front of the camera
so as not to block the camera lens or PIR sensor.

To mount the camera in place, insert the strap through the strap slots on
the rear housing. Wrap the strap around the mounting surface. Secure the
strap and tighten the buckle in order to secure the camera.

Make sure that both door latches are securely locked in place, to ensure
proper weather resistance.

2. Power On the Camera

The camera will be in “sleep” status after it has been powered on. When
the PIR sensor is triggered, it will start to take photos immediately after the
delay time (as set) has passed.

3. Test the Coverage Area

One of the 119215 Trail Camera’s most useful features is the ability to test
the coverage area.
After mounting the camera, open the front housing and slide the “Power”
switch to the “ON” position. Press the SETUP button to enter the MENU
mode .
Adjust the PIR sensitivity dial to your preference based on conditions.

14

The PIR indicator light below the lens will blink when you have entered
the coverage area.
Adjust the camera position as needed and repeat the test until the desired
coverage area is achieved.
Press the SETUP button again when you are nished using the test mode­the camera will be “sleeping” and waiting for the PIR sensor to trigger the
rst photo or video capture.

4. Secure the Camera

A standard padlock may be used in the camera’s lock hole to secure it and
prevent theft.

CAMERA OPERATION (continued)

15

VIEWING THE PHOTOS and VIDEOS

After your camera has been operating for awhile, you will of course want
to review the photos and/or videos it has been capturing. This can be done
by either of two methods, according to your preference or the availability
of accessory equipment:

Using an SD Card Reader

Push the SD card in slightly to release it then pull it out gently.
Put the SD card into any of the widely available SD card readers (either
a dedicated SD card reader or “multi-card reader” that features slots for
several dierent memory cards, including SD cards.
Follow the card reader supplier’s directions to view or download the photo
and/or video les on the SD card.

Connect the Camera to PC directly

Slide the “Power” switch to the “On” position, then press the “SETUP”
button.
Connect your camera to a PC with a USB cable (included, 5-pin mini
“B” to standard male type “A”). The PC will recognize the camera as an
external storage device, using the “USB Mass Storage” standard (no driver
installation necessary-not compatible with Windows 98 or earlier). The
PC will display a new disk symbol under “My Computer” or in Windows
Explorer, and you will see a dialog window on your desktop with several
options to view, move, or copy the photo and video les that are stored on
the SD card. The camera’s LCD will display “STO”, meaning the camera is in
mass storage mode.

From Camera To PC

PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor): Senses motion like a typical security motion
detector. Requires infrared energy (heat) in addition to motion to trigger
the sensor to help limit detection to live animals (rather than leaves, etc).

Camera Delay: Time elapsed between photos while events are sensed
and recorded. You should set this based on wildlife activity in the area.

Moon Phase: The activity level of some animals seems to be related to the
phases of the moon. The trail cam has a feature which imprints a moon
phase stamp on each photo for reference.

IR Flash: Also called IR LED Array. This is a “night vision” feature, which
emits a burst of infrared light, invisible to the human eye. Especially useful
for night photos when a visible ash may be undesirable.

Battery Life: Time that camera will function in the eld. Dependent on
ambient temperature, number of images taken and number of times the
IR ash res. When the battery voltage drops below 4.5v, the IR ash stops
ring. When battery voltage is below 3.5v, the camera stops working.

Burst: The number of pictures the camera takes per PIR trigger.

1P: Single image captured for each PIR trigger
3P: Three image sequence captured for each PIR trigger

FULL: When memory capacity is full, the LCD display indicates “FULL”

Mass Storage: Connect a USB cable to a computer, press the “SETUP”

button, and the computer can access the contents of the SD card. The
camera is automatically recognized as an “external drive”, without the
need to install special drivers. (Win 98 and older operating systems are not
supported. Mac OS9 and OSX are also compatible-the camera will appear
on your desktop as an external storage device or “disk”).

Battery life is shorter than expected

1. Battery life will vary with operating temperature and the number

of images taken over time. Typically, the Trail Cam will be able to
capture several thousand images before the batteries die.

2. Check to make sure you have used new alkaline or lithium

batteries. Tasco recommends using 4 Energizer® Lithium AA

batteries in this Trail Cam to obtain maximum battery life.

3. Make sure that the power switch was turned to the “On” position
and that the camera was not left in “Setup” mode while in the
eld.

4. Make sure that you are using a good quality name brand SD card
in your camera. Tasco recommends SanDisk® brand SD Cards up
to 16GB. Our experience indicates that poor quality SD cards can
sometimes reduce your Trail Cam battery life.

Camera stops taking images or won’t take images

1. Please make sure that the SD card is not full. If the card is full, the
camera will stop taking images.

2. Check the batteries to make sure that they are new alkaline or
lithium AA batteries. See note above about short battery life.

3. Make sure that the camera power switch is in the “On” position
and not in the “O” position or in “Setup” mode.

4. Make sure that you are using a good quality SD card in your
camera. Tasco recommends SanDisk® SD Cards up to 16GB.

5. If the SD card has its write protect switch in the lock position, the
camera will not take images.

6. If you have used an SD card in another device before inserting
it in your Trail Cam, you might want to try formatting the card
using the “Format” parameter in Setup mode (make sure you
have backed up any important les rst, as formatting will erase
all previous les). In some cases, other devices may change the
formatting of the SD card so that it will not work properly with
the Trail Cam.

Troubleshooting / FAQ

19

Camera won’t power up

1. Make sure that you have installed all 4 batteries in the battery

compartment. Tasco recommends using 4 Energizer® Lithium

AA batteries in this Trail Cam.

2. Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly, observing
proper polarity. Always place the negative (at) end of each battery
in contact with the spring side of its slot inside the camera.

Still Photo and/or Video Quality Problems

1. Night photos or videos appear too dark
a. Try using a set of new batteries. The ash will stop operating

near the end of the battery life.
b. You will get the best results when the subject is within the ideal
ash range, no farther than 45’ (14m) from the camera. Subjects
may appear too dark at greater distances.
c. Please note that when the Capture Number parameter is set
higher than “1P”, or with very short Time Delay settings, some
images may appear darker than others due to the quick response
and rapid retriggering of the camera, allowing less time for the
ash to fully recharge before ring again.

2. Daytime photos or videos appear too dark
a. Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other light

sources during the day, as this may cause the auto exposure to
produce darker results.

3. Night photos or videos appear too bright
a. You will get the best results when the subject is within the ideal

ash range, no closer than 10’ (3m) from the camera. Subjects may
appear too light at closer distances.

4. Daytime photos or videos appear too bright
a. Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other light

sources during the day.

Troubleshooting / FAQ

20

5. Photos with streaked subject

a. In some cases with low lighting conditions and fast moving

subjects, the 5MP (Hi) resolution setting may not perform as well
as the 2.1MP (Lo) setting.
b. If you have multiple images where fast moving subjects produce
streaks on the photo, try the 2.1MP (Lo Res) setting instead.

6. Red , green or blue color cast

a. Under certain lighting conditions, the sensor can become

confused resulting in poor color images.
b. If this is seen on a consistent basis, then the sensor may need
servicing. Please contact Tasco customer service.

7. Short video clips—not recording to the length set

a. Check to make sure that the SD card is not full.
b. Make sure that the camera has good batteries in it. Near the

end of the battery life, the camera may choose to record shorter
video clips to conserve power.

Photos Do Not Capture Subject of Interest

1. Try to set your camera up in an area where there is not a heat
source in the camera’s line of sight.

2. In some cases, setting the camera near water will make the camera
take images with no subject in them. Try aiming the camera over
ground.

3. Try to avoid setting the camera up on small trees that are prone to
being moved by strong winds.

4. Remove any limbs which are right in front of the camera lens.

PIR Sensor LED Flashes/Doesn’t Flash

1. When the camera is in the “Setup” mode, the PIR Indicator LED on
the front of the camera will ash when it senses motion. This is for
setup purposes only and will help the user aim the camera.

2. During use, the LED will not ash when the camera takes an
image. This is to help keep the camera hidden from game.

Troubleshooting / FAQ

21

Camera won’t retain settings

1. Make sure that you have been saving the changes to any parameter
settings that you made while in Setup mode, by pressing “OK”
after changing the setting. If you don’t save your new setting after
changing it, the camera will continue to use the original default
setting for that parameter.

INSTALLATION DES PILES et DE LA CARTE SD

La caméra numérique de détection Tasco modèle 119215 est conçue
pour fonctionner avec 4 piles AA. Nous recommandons d’utiliser des piles
au lithium (pour une durée de vie plus longue) ou des piles alcalines.

REMARQUE: L’interrupteur d’alimentation doit toujours être en position
OFF lorsque vous insérez ou retirez les piles.

Assurez-vous que les piles sont correctement insérées, tel qu’indiqué
à l’intérieur du compartiment des piles. Une tension ou polarité (+/-)
incorrecte endommagera la caméra.

Mémoire

Votre caméra de détection modèle 119215 possède un emplacement
pour carte mémoire et est compatible avec les cartes SD d’une capacité
maximale de 16 Go (carte vendue séparément).

Insertion d’une carte SD

Assurez-vous que l’interrupteur d’alimentation est en position OFF
lorsque vous insérez ou retirez une carte mémoire.
Insérez une carte SD dans la fente dans le sens indiqué par l’icône se
trouvant sous le bouton SETUP (zone de contact orientée vers le haut et
coin biseauté à gauche).
Pour retirer la carte SD, enfoncez-la légèrement pour la libérer puis
dégagez-la doucement.

Il est recommandé d’utiliser une carte SD neuve et vierge. Si la carte SD
a été utilisée dans un autre appareil, assurez-vous de la formater à l’aide
de l’option Format dans le menu de conguration avant d’utiliser votre
caméra. Les cartes neuves peuvent être utilisées sans formatage.
