Cuddeback Capture Operating Instructions

Use the Cuddeback Capture to take remote images of wildlife.


Using a remote camera to take automatic photos of areas used by animals offers a candid view of wildlife that may be missed with conventional point and shoot photography. The Capture, made by the Cuddeback company, is a battery operated motion detection camera designed to take pictures of animals as they enter into a targeted area. The camera is mounted on a tree in the area of interest and images are stored on an SD card for later viewing


Instructions


1. Align the supplied tree bracket to the back of the camera and secure with the supplied screw. Turn the "Rotary" switch to the "Off" position. Push the hinge at the top of the camera in and gently raise the cover. Install four D cell batteries and an SD memory card, then close the cover.


2. Set up the photo capture.Turn the "Rotary" switch to the "Time" position and press button "A" to set the hour and "B" to set minutes. Turn the "Rotary" switch to the "Date" position and press button "A" to set month and "B" to set day. Turn the rotary switch to the "Year" position and press button "A" to go back and "B" to go forward.








3. Attach the camera to a tree, placing the supplied strap through the mounting bracket and fastening it around a tree trunk. Mount the camera approximately three feet from the ground and 10 to 15 feet from the area where animals are expected.








4. Align the camera to the animal area and remove vegetation that may create an obstruction to the camera's field of view. Test the camera, turning the " Rotary" switch to the "Test" position and walking back and forth in front of the camera. The red LED light will illuminate to confirm the camera sensor has detected you.


5. Turn the "Rotary" switch to one of five offered settings to choose the amount of time the camera will wait before it will take another image. When first set, the camera will delay taking pictures for 40 seconds to allow you time to leave the area.


6. Remove the camera from the tree and lift the camera hinge to remove the SD card after taking pictures. View images by inserting the SD card into a computer or other card reading device.
