On the front of the BirdWatchCam, at the bottom
under the bevel, there are three LED lights.
These LEDs allow you to monitor the status of the
camera without having to move the camera from its
mounted position.
Each LED supports a different function:
Green LED light: Power ON/OFF status
Red LED light: Low Battery Level
Blue LED light: Low Memory Level
BirdWatchCam Operation:
To turn on the BirdWatchCam:
Press and hold the orange power button on the front
of the camera until the green LED lights up.
NOTE: IF THE SD CARD IS FULL OR THE BATTERIES
ARE EMPTY THE CAMERA WILL NOT TURN ON.
After approximately one minute the green LED will
turn off and the camera is ready to detect motion.
NOTE: **The Green LED will also flash every 15
seconds to indicate that the camera is running
properly and is ready to take photos.
Anytime a bird ( or any warm-blooded creature )
enters the targeted capture area, the camera
will wake up and take 20 photos within approximately
20 seconds and then go back to sleep. This preserves
your batteries until the next activation.
The Green LED will turn on when motion is detected,
and will flicker for 20 seconds while pictures are
captured and stored on the SD memory card.
To turn off the BirdWatchCam, press and hold the
orange power button until the green LED flickers and
then turns off.
If the camera has turned itself off due to a low battery
or a nearly full SD card, the next time the power
button is pressed, the red or blue LED will turn on and
will stay on until the green LED flashes.
If the SD card is full or is missing, the blue LED will turn
on for a few seconds, and then the camera will turn off.
If the battery is too low, the red LED will turn on for a
few seconds then the camera will turn off.
Note: When the winds gust many birdfeeders
will swing and activate the BirdWatchCam. We
recommend turning o the BirdWatchCam when
the winds are high or gusting above 25 MPH, if your
bird feeder is free hanging.
It is not necessary to remove the mounting unit to
use the mounting methods noted below.
You may choose to use the mounting straps to
wrap around a tree or pole to mount the camera.
You may use the screw nail holes in the mounting
unit to hang the camera.
You may use the suction cups to adhere to a clean
flat surface. (we recommend using one of the straps
as a safety line when using the suction cups)
Once you have the BirdWatchCam mounted it can
be adjusted by releasing the locking mechanism
on the mounting unit by turning the friction lock
counterclockwise and swiveling it left or right and
up or down while holding the laser pointer button
down.
Once positioned correctly, simply lock it into
position by turning the friction lock clockwise.
We strongly suggest taking a series of test photos
to ensure that the BirdWatchCam is set up and
targeted properly.
Now you have the BirdWatchCam mounted where
you want it and its time to take pictures.
