My FAVORITE Trail Camera Settings!!

[@Bobb1julie]

Hi 👋 DAVE , The day there is a beginning and an ending to everything..Your video was not viewed for four days and when I began watching, I said “” WHOA”” he’s making me famous.LOL . I was blown away by your expertise and how little I know about trail cameras and how much there is to learn..To get real picky you could see where one setting could result in a separate toutorial with pics lasting 10 min each ..Imagine?? By the comments they were pleased.,Appreciated new ways to see better results, and you know what else DAVE , it is the foundation on my approach to photography..It begins with what’s under your feet to infinity.. The ability for the few of us that have the ability to see vs those who have to go to school to learn . You are the former and welcome to my world pal . It’s beautiful.. Never a moment passes that a picture is about to present itself..Thank you. This is one special presentation and I was really taken back with the Doe showing so much affection to her young . For that I just may let the first Doe pass me by this fall !!!

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Haha!! Not sure I can make anyone famous, but I do appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment on my videos! I think we all can learn from each other if we would just take the time. Everyone has something of value to add, each in our own way! Thanks again for your support.

[@julieadams4372]

Thank you Dave. This is my first camera and I am an older woman that has bears, skunks deer, raccoons, bobcats, opossum and, who knows what else , running around my yard. I only have 1 1/2 acre, but seem to be overrun with wildlife. Your voice of experience is a huge help on the set up and saved me a lot of time learning new tricks. I will let you know how I make out with my Hawkray Mini Hunting Camera.

[@barbarahagerman6657]

Thank you so much for this video. I am an older woman living in the forest on the Oregon coast. My husband bought me a GardePro A3 a few years ago, we set it up and got great pictures and then put it away for the rainy season. Three years later we have a pesky bear I wanted to get some pics of, but was very intimated trying to figure out how to set the camera up again, your video has taken that intimidation away, the camera is now ready to get photos, hopefully, of our local bear population. Thank you again!!!

[@Speeglelookingglass]

This is one of the most useful and best videos I've seen on KZbin. I can't afford an internet system for security and this will work for wildlife and security for me.

[@highcotton63664]

This vid really helped me because you not only went through your preferences but explained what the settings were for better than the guide it came with. I like to record wildlife in my backyard woods at night and this cam is great for that.

[@linnienorvell4876]

You are awesome. My late husband use to set up cams so I learning. Can you tell me what “endless capture” means. Thank you.

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Thanks for watching. Endless capture (when turned on or enabled) will allow the camera to continue operating even when your sd card is full. As it takes a new picture the oldest picture will be deleted to make room. When endless capture is off, the camera will stop working when the sd card is full.

Usually if the daytime video works but nighttime is black it’s a battery issue. Low batteries will give those symptoms. I highly recommend Energizer lithium batteries 👍

This video was a HUGE help for me; a city-boy newbie to trail cameras. Thank you!

[@houndsmanone4563]

Thanks much, Dave. I do very similar. A couple things I do so I'll share, if it's okay. I'd appreciate your ideas as well as viewer ideas. 1.) How long I leave my trail-cams out? I designate two 32GB SD card(s) for each camera. I check them about 7 to 10 days depending on time of season. If I'm checking varmint patterns, I'll check daily. 2.) What I do with my recorded trail-cam clips after making a video? I received a 4 Terabyte memory disc from Santa on Christmas 😊 so now I started doing this. After I make a video, I create a file folder on the 4 Terabyte memory disc, name/date the file folder, then place the new video w/ ALL related trail-cam clips in that file folder. So now I can retrieve "a video" from the 4 Terabyte memory disc and all the related trail-cam clips I used to make that particular video are there in same folder. After this, I erase the little 32GB SD card and now it's ready to be rotated to its designated Trail-camera. It took me a while to figure out some kind of system to rotate SD cards, etc.....so I wanted to share. Thanks for your videos. Keep them coming.

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Some great information!! I’m glad your willing to share your tips/experience! Storage of media can be a huge deal, especially when dealing with hours of videos per check. Thanks for taking the time to watch and give your input! I appreciate it 👍

[@markvogel4341]

Hi Dave, got my first trail cam, and didn't know some of the terminology specific to infrared cameras. I was very happy to find your video and took notes so I can set up my camera. I mainly got it for pest control reasons, the small 4-legged critters that only come out at night. I think I'll be turning down the IR Intensity as I'm shooting close to the ground. And the point at the end where you discuss formatting the card was another question made clear to me. I did put the card into the computer and it seemed formatted with an image folder, but I'll go ahead and format it before using the camera. The small manual mentioned it in passing, so I wasn't sure how important it is. And I'll do it again after bringing video into the computer. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and wisdom. Have a great day.

[@markr.1547]

Thanks Dave I suck at this stuff! Yes I’m a hipster duffass! I’ve taken my cameras down because some of the 170+ deer I’m after have spotted the RED GLOW at night and they don’t get old by being stupid! I’d like only daylight pictures or videos and a fellow from Exodus said there’s a way to set your cameras to daylight only…. Do you know how to do that? IMO nighttime pictures are useless except to let you know your either doing something wrong or don’t have a very good hunting parcel and need to work on that. Weren’t there big bucks taken before trail cameras?

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Thanks for watching. I’m not familiar with Exodus camera settings. Many cameras do allow you to program the settings to have the camera active during certain hours (daytime etc). On mine it’s called work time or scheduled. Not sure what Exodus calls it (if they offer that option)

Great presentation. No problem with fast/slow you are presenting.

[@shader26]

Thanks for that. I am new to this, and bought one for my granddaughter, but the explanation in the manual for “time lag” which you recommend setting to 20 seconds, is very unclear. I THINK it means when the camera trips, and starts recording (say a 20 second length video per your settings)…well actually I am unsure. Does it mean that if a subsequent “trip” of the sensor then waits 20 seconds even if it is during the initial video capture, or does it mean that after the 20 second video capture, it waits yet another 20 seconds, ignoring any and all trips, and then is ready so if it trips again it starts a new 29 second video? I really can’t tell from the badly written instructions in the manual.

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Thanks for watching. The time lag is the time the camera waits from the end of the video (in the scenario you described) until the camera can be “tripped” again. If you have other questions don’t hesitate to ask 👍

[@davidblakeman913]

Great video! I have used these for years. But one big problem I have in Wyoming is the wind. What would you set you camera on to allow the camera to come on with an animal and not activate with winds. Even in trees we have high enough wind at times to trigger the camera. I get a card full of tree waving at you. Or the sage brush waving at you. I have just decided that there is no way to get away from this.

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Wind (and sun) can be a real problem. As you said it’s nearly impossible to totally eliminate false triggers. Small adjustments in the mounting angle can help at times

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

The PIR is the sensor that detects heat/motion and tells the camera to take a picture/video. The IR will allow the camera to take pictures/videos at nighttime. The camera will automatically turn on the IR lights at night

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

Greta info Dave, Same settings I use. except one of my cameras have a 30 sec video and the Tascos don't give you an option to change the length. I have been contemplating changing my IR flash lately.

I would like to ask if you have any idea why my camera appears to come on late and i only see the hind end of an animal as if the camera is triggered late, i set the video footage at 30 secs!

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Thanks for watching. It’s tough to say but I suggest changing the angle of the camera a bit more. Place the camera to look vertically up or down the trail verses being perpendicular (if that makes sense)

[@Ann-Vorol]

@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Thanks for taking the time to reply, I will see how i get on with that, thanks again.

What an outstanding video , do have a few questions on the GardePro E8PCF and sent you a note. 👍👍👍👍

[@jo-annepotter2277]

Awesome explanations! Thank you for explaining so I understand why.

[@johnrhardin6460]

I’m having trouble with mine.. it keeps taking a picture every minute and when something does set it off it works as should but then goes back to one a minute.. and I’ve tried setting it not to but keeps doing it..Yes and I put 20 on video and 20 intervals as well..

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

What make and model camera is it? I’m not sure what’s happening. Double check that the time lapse mode isn’t activated.

[@DawnWright-o1z]

I am experiencing the same issue. Up until recently I had not had any problems at all. I found the Time Interval Setting and altered this, however I cannot remember what it was set to before I altered it. I will try the 20 seconds as you suggest and hopefully this will do the trick. Thank you

[@DawnWright-o1z]

Oh meant to say it's a Campark T80 Wildlife Camera.

[@randywl8925]

I realize this is an old video. I'm curious about the sensitivity of motion. Are these cameras always set up to react to motion of any kind, be it leaves, grass, branches AND animals, or are they more sensitive to infrared heat emitted from animals? Breath information by the way. I've got a Campark T 80

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

The cameras use passive infrared sensors. They all can be prone to false detections because of sun,blowing limbs, grass, etc. Setup location and camera angle is very important to minimize unwanted triggers

[@Kntryhart]

Phew...I can't imagine buying batteries for all those trail cams! I have 5 trail cameras; I spend way too much for batteries these days! I use the cameras more for security (trespassers) than for wildlife. I tried rechargeable batteries, but the cameras did not like them. I have a couple GardePro' A3s 20 MP, a Tasco, and two Camparks (14 and 16 MP). Any suggestions how to lengthen battery life? The Tasco has the best battery life but the photos are not as good as the other brands. I turn off the video option trying to get more battery life.

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

I highly suggest Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries. There are worth the extra money. Here’s a test I did kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGXQZaeHnrB-qqs I also use solar whenever possible (mounting location has sunlight). I prefer WingHome’s universal solar panel (has built in battery) kzbin.info/www/bejne/moq9eYSgp9CbkKc

I have a DL001 trail cameo for the life of me can't get to record at night, first got it did record, but I don't know the setting for that to change it. I may have changed it by mistake though. can you help me set it to record at night time? btw I'm a newbie to this I reset to default settings and try to use it in dark-room no lights-on, found out its auto setting for nighttime, there no PIR setting use in this unit so nvm

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Thanks for watching. Many times if the camera works during daytime but not at night it’s a battery issue. The IR takes considerable more power and there simply isn’t enough there. I highly recommend Energizer lithium ion batteries. Here’s a test I did and they won by a landslide kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGXQZaeHnrB-qqs

[@sunshinerythym]

Thanks for this video, so helpful, I’m setting up for the first time so your settings have given me a good bench mark. I have a Target Recording Time setting which you didn’t mention and Apart from mentioning 32 GT storage you didn’t say anything more about memory cards, apart from that brilliant, I’m looking forward to some great shots.....🤞

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Thanks for watching and for the encouragement. I’m a little worried that the target recording setting should be off. When you want the camera to see movement and record (or take a picture) 24 hrs a day, the target recording should be “off” 👍

[@sunshinerythym]

So should it be on when I want to record video?

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

No. I always have that setting off. Target recording is when you want your camera to operate during certain hours of the day or night. Most people (including me) want my camera to operate 24/7 👍

[@mawboo]

I really wish there was a setting where it records video as long as there is motion. I realize this is a difficult task. There must be a time set for recording motion but I don’t want a two minute time where the camera was tripped for a moment then same still video for the rest of the setting BUT I would like a second video to start recording if set to 20 seconds and the motion starts up again. Example. Testing the video. My husband walked to the wood pile. It recorded it for 20 seconds but no video of him walking back. Any clues what I can do? I have a Meidase P100:trail cam. Thank you. Love your videos.

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Thanks for watching. Browning, Izeeker and Campark all offer at least one model that does close to what you describe. You set the minimum record time for videos but if the animal stays in front of the camera, it will extend the recording and make a much longer video 👍

[@travistarr9433]

Very insightful. Great video topic.

[@tubbyguyoutdoors]

Great information bud I thanks for sharing I’ll be trying that this season !

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@Caly19977]

Please do a video about cam placement, how high, pointing at what, etc

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Thanks for watching and for the suggestion 👍

[@tdixon6299]

so out in my woods there are tons of deer but i have a hard time getting any on my cameras. how do i know if a certain spot will actually have deer?

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Thanks for watching! The best thing to do is to find trails that the deer like to walk on. Place your camera looking down the trail (not perpendicular) if that makes sense. 👍

[@124bucket]

mine has target recording time,and endless capture. what is these?

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

The target recording time is a feature that will allow your camera to operate only certain hours of the day. For instance, if you only want your camera to take pictures during daylight hours you can go into this setting and set the active times for 8:00 to 19:30 etc. Endless capture when “on” is a feature where after your SD cards gets full the camera will continue to take pictures. For every new picture it takes, it deletes the oldest file to make room. If you don’t prefer that option turn endlessly capture “off”. When the SD card gets full the camera will no longer take any more pictures. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching my video 👍

[@cerradosdegoias]

A minha não tá fazendo vídeos noturnos. HC 802A. O led fica só piscando. O que deve ser?

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

If your camera is working during daylight but not at night, the first thing I would check would be batteries. Low battery voltage can cause the camera to not operate correctly at night. If new batteries don't solve it you could contact customer service.

[@MasterMuppster]

I have a GardePto E6. Is there a problem shooting through a glass door to the outside? Mike

[@DawnWright-o1z]

Absolutely brilliant and extremely helpful. Thank you

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

I appreciate you watching. Thank you 👍

[@KOTW.Adventures]

Thanks for the video. New bow hunter here and just started experimenting with trail cams. What about audio? I have the option to record sound. I have currently turned it off to save SD card space, but what’s your opinion?

[@ArielleViking]

Really great information about trailcam settings. One of these days, I want to get a trailcam to set down by the creek, it would be interesting to see what passes by at night. 👍

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

I’m sure it would be interesting that know what all passes by when people aren’t around. Thanks for watching. I almost didn’t recognize you (you changed your profile pic) 👍

[@ArielleViking]

@@HuntingFarmerOfficial you're most welcome and thankyou. Thought it time to update my picture. 😊
