Time Lapse Software

QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS

VIEWING TIME LAPSE

VIII

This easy-to-use software allows you to advance through the series of images a number of dierent ways:

SEARCH REGION

Click on Set Search Region Button.

This allows you to deﬁne a speciﬁc search

area, rather than the whole photo. Drag the

red outline to the area you want to search.

This allows you to focus on a very precise area

if required.

SEARCH STEPS

This allows for even faster scans by skipping

the selected amount of images (1-50). The

higher this setting, the lower the search

results as it is ignoring selected photos. You

may ﬁnd this option helpful if you have a

very large quantity of photos to scan.

Click OK.

Click on Motion Search Advance button.

BEGIN/END

Goes to the rst or last photo in the Plot File.

FRAME BY FRAME SEARCH

Individually step forward or backward through each photo.

REWIND/PAUSE/PLAY

Play photos in sequence, pause, or play the photos in reverse order.

These functions simulate a video and are useful for manually searching

changes in the photos. When a sequence is being played, press

fast-forward or fast-rewind multiple times to increase speed. (1x-5x)

This function allows quick scanning of images foreword and back. The

scan pauses when the software detects a change in pixel content from

the last photo viewed. We detect change based on averages so it

will not be as accurate as a manual frame by frame search.

Use the steps below as a guide to quickly set up your camera so it will function using the factory

default settings.

STEP 1

Open camera cover. Press the battery chamber release button. Install eight (8) AA size alkaline or

lithium batteries with polarities as indicated in the Battery Tray. Re-install the Battery Tray and insert

your SD card. We recommend that you format the SD card (ERASE IMAGES) inside the camera before

taking pictures.

STEP 2

Insert SD Memory Card until you hear an audible click. Camera will not operate without SD Card.

Slide the power switch to ON. Press the Menu button to switch the camera to Setup and set the

strap. NOTE: Camera must be attached to a stable

object for motion detection to function properly.

STEP 5

with polarities as indicated in the Battery Tray. Re-install the Battery Tray.

Thread the provided Mounting Strap through the Eyelets on the back of the

camera and secure to a tree or pole approximately 36" from the ground as shown.

Turn Camera on by sliding ON/OFF/IR TEST switch

to the ON position.

the blue highlights.
