Example

: Camera will take 3 rapid photos in a row

Less LED’s

Advantage

• Longer Night Illumination

• Brighter and Clearer Pictures

Drawback

• More Power Consumption

(shorter battery life)

• Greater Chance of Deer

Recognizing “Red LED Glow”

Advantage

• Less Power Cosumption

(longer battery life)

• Less Chance of Deer

Recognizing “Red LED Glow”

Drawback

• Shorter Night Illumination

• Pictures not as Bright

Primos

®

recommends using versatility of selectable LED Number to your advantage depending on the situation. If you know where the game is going to be and can setup the camera closer, it probably it probably makes sense to enjoy the advantages of

Less LED’S. However, when you are uncertain or need the extended night range, you can use all of the high-output LED’s!

DELAY

-

The pre-set amount of time you desire between photo/video recordings.

Example

: Camera will wait 1 minute between photo/video recordings with motion

9

Camera Sensitivity (Sensing)

-

Motion

Detector Sensitivity. Use ‘Normal’ as default.

You can adjust the sensitivity of the Passive Infrared

(PIR) Motion Sensor on your camera. The PIR sensor detects motion AND the difference between body heat and the outdoor temperature. Therefore, adjusting the sensor affects the DISTANCE and

HEAT SENSITIVITY of the detection.

TIP:

It may not always be best to use ‘high sensitivity’ to see how far away you can capture images of game. If the game is closer when the camera is triggered, you will end up with better pictures/videos. You can learn what is best for your situation; here is a summary of the settings:

High Sensitivity

• Use when trying to detect game at further distances (

in fields or open areas with long-range visibility

)

• May use in warmer months or high heat climates so it is easier for sensor to detect difference

between body heat and outdoor temperature.

• May use when trying to capture photos of smaller game.

Normal Sensitivity

• Optimized to work best in most conditions and for normal use

Low Sensitivity

• May use if you have the camera setup in a location that is getting a lot of ‘empty’ photos

(

false triggers

)

• May use if you are getting a lot of hard-to-see long range photos of game (

more likely in colder

temperatures or with larger game

) and would like game to get closer before camera captures images.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Learning to use your TRUTH

®

Cam

– Visiting www.primos.com/TruthCam and watching our Instructional Video Clips is the ‘easiest way’ to learn ‘how to use’ your

TRUTH

®

Camera!

Troubleshooting or Questions

– Before calling customer service, visit www.primos.

com/TruthCam to find troubleshooting tips, frequently asked questions and answers, as well as any updates

Camera ‘Menu’ Mode or Camera ‘On/Run’ Mode

- Your TRUTH

®

Cam only has two modes when powered on.

Menu Mode

If the LCD screen is on displaying the menu or text, the camera is in ‘Menu’ mode and will not take pictures/videos during this time. If the LCD menu is left inactive

(no buttons are pushed) for 30 seconds, the camera will automatically go into a power saving state.

ON/RUN Mode

- The LCD display will turn off and the camera has switched to ‘On/Run’ mode and is ready to start taking pictures/video. You can also press the Run/Wake button to quickly exit menu and turn camera into active ‘On/Run’ mode (30 second countdown will begin). When the camera is in the ‘On/Run’ mode, you must exit the power saving state by hitting the Run/Wake button to enter back into the camera ‘menu’ mode.

Waking Up LCD Menu

– The LCD menu will not wake up from ‘On/Run’ mode (power saving state) while the Green Status Light is on or blinking. Wait until after Green Light turns off to WAKE up LCD screen.

Trouble Turning Camera Off

– The OFF button will only work when the camera is in

‘Menu’ Mode. In other words, make sure the LCD screen is displaying the menu and then hold the OFF button for 2 seconds. LCD screen will display ‘PWROFF’ as it is turning off.

Battery Level on Display

- Camera identifies fully charged rechargeable batteries, such as NiMH, as less than 99% on battery indication level. Rechargeable batteries run on different voltage and cause this variation. Most fully charged rechargeable batteries will show 50-60%.

15

Battery Life

– Long battery life is one of the most important requirements for convenient and enjoyable game camera use. There are several variables that will determine the battery life including type of batteries, temperature outside, image/video settings and frequency of camera activity. Colder temperatures, more advanced image/video settings and high photo frequency (low camera delay) will result in shorter battery life. Different brands of batteries may also perform much better than others, so please experiment to find what works best for you. Primos

®

has included a Image/Video Selection Guide in this manual to help pick the best camera settings for higher performance or better battery life.

Internal Rechargeable Backup Battery

- With first use or after a long time period of camera storage, internal battery may initially take up to 30 hours to fully charge (charges only when “D” batteries are installed when camera is turned ON). Once charged, this backup battery is dedicated to saving the date, time and menu settings when the main

D-cell batteries are removed.

Camera Mounting Direction

– The red status light illuminates when camera detects motion. To verify your camera is pointing in the correct direction, you can walk in front of the camera after it is setup and look for the red light to illuminate when you are detected

– the camera will take pictures/videos when motion is detected according to your settings.

The TRUTH

®

Cam Pivoting Mount makes mounting easier and allows photo capture from the angle of your choice (versus relying on the tree).

Camera Mounting Height

– Three feet from the ground is usually a good height to mount the camera, but it depends on the type of game and ground terrain. The TRUTH

®

Cam

Pivoting Mount makes mounting easier and allows photo capture from the angle of your choice (versus relying on the tree).

Blurry Image Quality

– Primos

®

takes pride in the quality of images captured by the

TRUTH

®

Cam. However, this is an outdoor product that will be constantly exposed to different/changing conditions that can affect the quality level. Blurry images typically result from objects causing interference between the camera and the intended focal point (game too close, brush, trees, etc). Blurry images may also be the result of direct sunlight, fog, condensation (dew), water droplets, snow/ice, dirt, dust or other debris on the camera lens. Carefully cleaning the camera lens window, making sure there are no scratches and/ or placing the camera in a different location may solve this type of problem.

16

Blurry Image Quality – Motion

– Primos

®

takes pride in the quality of images captured by the TRUTH

®

Cam. With available technology, there was no way to eliminate the potential of photos with blur caused by game moving (motion) too quickly. We have optimized the

TRUTH

®

Cam to limit the number of motion blurred images and provide as many clear, quality photos as possible.

Dark or Light Image Quality

– Primos

®

takes pride in the quality of images captured by the TRUTH

®

Cam. As daylight transitions back-and-forth between light and dark, the camera changes settings to optimize the picture. Some ‘lighter’ or ‘darker’ photos may be captured during the camera transition process – this should be a limited amount of photos with the optimization of our software. Also, please try to avoid setting up the camera in situations where the sunlight will shine directly into camera lens. With any photo capturing, taking pictures directly into sunlight produces less than desirable results.

Empty Photos/False Triggers

– If there are a large number of photos taken with no game present in the frame, first make sure your camera is mounted at the correct height and in the right direction. If there are limited, random photos with no game present, the following scenarios are most likely 1) an animal ran through the picture extremely fast or

2) a smaller animal/bird is around the camera/sensor but is not in the camera field of view or 3) the sunlight or heat in combination with moving elements (trees, brush, shadows) is causing a false trigger. The first two scenarios are hard to prevent, but the sunlight/ heat should not cause many false triggers as the camera has been optimized to sense and distinguish for correct triggering. To prevent potential false triggers, try not to setup the camera directly in the sunlight. You may also change the Camera Sensitivity Setting according to your situation.

Camera Doesn’t Save Photos/Video

– The SD Memory Card may be locked. Please look closely at the card and make sure the card is in the ‘unlocked’ position. If photos/ videos are still not saved by camera activity, the SD Memory Card may be corrupt or damaged. You can try to reformat the card on a computer and try it again, or simply try replacing it with a different/new SD Memory Card.

Storing Camera

– Do not store in extreme heat, cold, moist or humid conditions. Remove batteries when storing for periods for longer than one week without use.

Operating Temperature

- Recommended storage temperature range is 20

0

F to 100

0

F and recommended operating temperature range -10

0

F to 130

0

F

17

Inside Camera Operation

– The camera is designed for outdoor use. It is ok to test the camera indoors for operation, but please note the indoor lighting and reflection may not be optimal for correct photo exposure and video recording.

Selecting Image Size/Video Quality

- More and bigger is not always better. See Help

Selecting Photo or Video Settings under ‘Before Your Operation’ guide.

Keep Clear of Debris

- Keep the small water drainage hole on the camera door (running from top lip to external window) clear of debris. This drainage hole allows any water that happens to get on top of the door lid escape. If this hole is plugged and not allowed to drain, the water can possibly enter the inside of the door (even when closed) and cause permanent damage to the camera.
