• For best results, consider how the light may effect the photos. Shadows and light changes

themselves can actually trigger the camera, but note that pointing the camera in a north-south

direction often offers the best results when possible.

• Look for a clear site or one that you can easily clear the camera’s view if obstructed by branches,

leaves, or brush – plan to use a knife or saw if needed in forested areas to clear the screen. Be

diligent about removing vegetation in the camera’s view, especially from the foreground, as it can

produce false triggers when swaying in the wind or when the sun hits it and creates shadows.

• Attach the camera to the mounting tree, above eye level (or at chest level) and pointed downward

toward the trunk of the other tree/feature that you are spreading lure on. Depending upon the

camera model you have, use the laser or test feature (see details below) and other team members to

help aim it at the right location. Consider the size of the animal species that you are targeting while

aiming the camera. Point it low enough to capture smaller animals like wolverine and pine marten,

while the placement of the actual camera on the tree is high enough to get a view of larger animals,

like deer or bear, walking by in front of it. * Most often, cameras are mounted with an error of pointing too

high, so aim on the low side. Some cameras (i.e. Bushnell) have a viewer feature that will allow you to actually view

the test images recorded. Use this feature if you have it, or have been supplied with a detached viewer.

• Once you have the camera in position, use bungee cords and/or other methods to secure the

camera to the tree. Branches or nearby wood may be helpful to help tilt the camera downward to

ensure the aim is correct. Anticipating spring snowmelt and changing conditions in many

locations, this step may need to be repeated during future camera checks. After camera is secure,

place your lock around the camera. Make sure that lock cannot be slid off of the camera, but is

secured to it.

• Placing the camera about 10' from the lure tree/feature (or even a little farther out depending on

the angle of the camera) is best for most camera models to avoid cutting off or only capturing

portions of animals. Full view of an animal’s features is often needed for sure species ID.

• Record the GPS coordinates (use Datum WGS 84, and lat/long coordinates) on your data

sheet only if this is a camera install/move or they were not previously recorded. Carefully

fill out all of the other information requested on the data sheet.

Basic Overview of Camera Check

• Upon arriving, walk in front of the camera and trigger the motion sensor. This picture will

verify that the camera is working and also serve as a reference if the date/time is incorrect.

(make sure to record the actual date and time of the check on your data sheet so that we can match against the

date/time on the photos when we download them in the office in case there is any malfunction with the camera

date/time). If the camera does not trigger, your batteries may already have died or your memory

card is full.

• Unlock the cable lock with your keys to access the camera

• Use the technical instructions (Pg. 8 ) for the appropriate camera model to replace the batteries

and memory card, check/set up all of the camera settings (Links to all models users guides is below

and on our website. Hard copies of user manuals are made available to team leaders and stored in the office.)

• Apply lure and install bait according to your specific sites instructions (Every site has unique

directions, be sure to understand and follow yours). Please remember that a very little amount of lure
