Thank you for choosing a Moondyne TRACKER
Trail Camera. Our cameras have been developed for Australian
conditions and have been tested in some of the most demanding
conditions Australia has to offer. We are condent that you will be
happy with your purchase and we encourage any feedback you
have that will help to continually improve our products.
Our trail cameras are designed to be easy to use, whilst still
having all of the functions you would expect from today’s high tech
devices. Such as 52°FOV lens, 40pcs (Black Flash) IR LEDs,
0.8 seconds trigger time, 1 photo/sec (up to 7 photos per trigger)
multi-shot, HD Video, and a user friendly operational menu.
This camera is the ideal product for farm security, property
surveillance or animal monitoring. Its camouage nish combined
with black ash IR LEDs keeps it out of sight, whilst monitoring
your property or game trails.
A hassle free surveillance camera for home, farm, construction
site, warehouse or the outdoors.

SD Card and Batteries
Always switch off the camera before inserting or removing batteries or SD cards.
Note: Do not mix batteries types. Mixing battery types in the camera may cause
permanent damage, which also violates our warranty policy.
To install the batteries and SD card into your camera, rst remove the battery pack
from the camera by releasing the locking latches.
The Tracker will operate with most types of AA batteries, but best performance is
achieved using Alkaline or Lithium batteries (Not rechargeable batteries)
Battery Pack:
• Open the battery pack cover and insert 4 x AA batteries, paying attention to
the correct polarity (+ and -) shown on the plastic base
Camera:
• Undo the screw that secures the bottom cover of the camera, open and
then push to release the battery cover.
• Insert 4 x AA batteries, paying attention to the correct polarity (+ and -) as
shown on the metal plate under the cover
• Close the battery compartment cover by pushing it rmly until it clicks
SD Card:
The camera has no internal memory so an SD card needs to be inserted to record
images and video. (8~32GB supported)
To ensure smooth operation, plenty of storage space, and to not miss out on
important images, please use a high speed (class 4 or higher) SD card with at
least 8GB of storage from a well known manufacturer. It is also recommended to
format the card to the camera when rst setting up.
Note: Formatting will delete all current data on the card.
• Insert an SD memory card into the SD card slot with the gold coloured
connectors facing the front of the camera.
• Gently push until it clicks into place
The SD card only ts one way. Do not force it

tion settings produce better quality videos but will consume
more memory storage. Default set to 640
Video Frame Adjust the video frame rate of recordings. The higher the
frame rate, the smoother the motion in the video, but will
consume more memory storage. Default set to 30fps
Digital Zoom Get nearer to the action on the screen with up to 4 times
digital zoom. Default set to 1x
Video Length Set length of video per trigger from 5~60 Seconds
Default set to 5 seconds
PIR
Sensitivity
Higher settings are more sensitive to movements by
smaller subjects and have longer detection distances.
In high temperature environments above 350c the difference in temperature
between the body heat of subjects and the environment is more difcult to
distinguish by the camera. Suggested setting for this environment is high.
Default set to High
9
Timer
Select ON only if you want to set a specic beginning and end time
for the camera to capture images.
Caution: If set to ON the camera and PIR Sensor will only work
during the time period set by the user.
Example: 15:00-18:00 The Camera will only work between 3pm and
6pm it will not take pictures or videos at any other time.
Useful when you only want photos at set times, such as dawn or dusk
Default set to OFF
Time
Lapse
Select ON if you want to take time lapse photos only. The camera
will shoot pictures or video clips automatically upon the interval that
is set by the user.
Example: The camera will take a photo or video every 1 minute if
preset time interval is 00:01:00.
Caution: The PIR sensor of camera will be turned off and imag-
es will only be captured at the preset intervals. The camera will
not be triggered by movement.
Note: Time Lapse and Delay will not work simultaneously
Default set to OFF
Delay
Select ON to set a time interval that the PIR sensor will turn off
between photos/videos after each trigger.
This option turns the PIR sensor OFF for the user set interval after
each trigger and stops the camera from taking too many photos in
high activity areas.
This is particularly useful when the camera is used at feedlots or
watering points where subjects may linger for some time.
Example: The camera will wait 1 minute between photo/video
recordings with motion if preset time interval is set to 00:01:00
Congurable delay time: 3 seconds to 24 hours.
Note: Time Lapse and Delay will not work simultaneously.

Photos Do Not Capture Subject of Interest:
• Check the PIR sensitivity setting. For warm environmental conditions set to High and
for cold weather use set to Low
• Try to set your camera up in an area where no heat resources are in the camera’s eld
of view. Rising sun or sunset can sometimes trigger the sensor.
• If the camera is looking over water, the water movement can sometimes make the
camera take images with no subject in them. Try to aim the camera over ground.
• Set the camera on stable and immovable objects, such as large trees, and make sure
no grass or leaves are in the immediate view.
• At night the motion detector may detect beyond the range of the IR illumination. Reduce
distance setting by adjusting sensor sensitivity.
Camera Stops Taking Images or Won’t Take Images:
• Ensure that the SD card is not full. If the card is full the camera will stop taking images,
unless it is set to SD cycle recording.
• Check battery power levels and insert new batteries if they are low
• Make sure that the camera power switch is in the ON position and that the camera is
not in the menu or playback mode.
• Make sure that the camera is not in Timer, time lapse or delay mode as these settings
can turn the PIR sensor off as per the user settings.
Quite often the reason for the camera not working as expected is due to incorrect user
settings. To resolve this, format the SD card (this will delete all les on card) and then
RESET in the Menu options to reset the camera to factory defaults.
