8 Common and Useful Trail Camera Settings for Best Result

Trail camera technology has amazingly improved throughout a long time and there are many more settings, features, and elements that are constantly improved than before. All the amazing features you want have come in one trail camera so you can easily have a great photography experience. Burst Mode, Time-lapse Mode, recordings and videos with sound, adjustable trigger speed, and many more.

But what does every feature and setting mean and what are the best situations for using these different modes? So, Let’s look at eight of the most common and useful features that most trail or game cameras have and share some advantages. And different situations that each of the settings is best for.

1. Photo And Video Mode

This is the most well-known and most common setting that all trail cameras have. This mode will take actual pictures of creatures and animals both day and night when triggered by any movement in front of the camera. This is amazing for trail camera use, whether you’re utilizing it for hunting purposes, security purposes, or for just photography.

Another mode that almost all trail cameras nowadays have is the video mode. This mode will take video clips of animals during day and night when triggered by any movement in front of the camera. The length of the video normally depends on what you decide to set it on: 5 seconds, 30 seconds, and so on. Video mode is incredible and amazing when you want to get some more intel than a still picture can give.

2. Time-lapse Mode

Time-lapse mode will take pictures for the duration of the day on a selected timespan (interval of time). For example, if you have it set to take a picture every ten seconds in Time-lapse mode, it will take a picture every ten seconds throughout the whole day, whether there is any movement in front of the camera. These pictures would then be able to be seen through programming given by the trail camera company that allows you to see the pictures in sequential order like watching a video.

3. Burst Mode

This setting is utilized while in photograph mode, but instead of taking only one picture when the camera is triggered, it will take multiple pictures. For example, Browning Trail Cameras has a Rapid-Fire setting that, when chosen, will take up to eight pictures (the quantity of pictures is controlled by you) when the camera is triggered, rather than only one.

Burst mode is incredible when you place a camera in an area where you anticipate that animals should be moving rapidly through the camera’s detection zone, and you might want to get more than one picture of them for better intel.

4. SD Card Management

Browning Trail Cameras offers an SD Card Management setting that, when the SD card is full, the camera will start to delete the oldest pictures or videos on the SD card and overwrite them with the fresher pictures and videos. This permits you to consistently have the most current pictures/videos on your SD card. If you decide not to turn this setting on, the SD card won’t take pictures or videos once it is full.

If you’re utilizing your hunting trail camera but you will be unable to make it back to the field to swap SD cards before it fills up, turning this setting on will permit you to consistently have the most current pictures and recordings so you know the creature’s recent patterns and behaviors.

5. Adjustable Trigger Speed

Adjustable Trigger Speed element or setting permits you to change the trigger speed on your trail camera within a predetermined range. You don’t always have a super-quick trigger speed to have an extraordinary and great picture. Remember the area of your camera while choosing the trigger speed.

6. Adjustable Detection Range

Some trail camera models permit you to change the detection range as well as extend it out a little further to catch pictures of nature and wildlife further away than what the preset detection zone will catch.

Fields and more open regions and areas are a decent place for your trail camera while you extend the detection range out further. A limited and shorter length of detection range is great in the forest or woods.

7. Adjustable IR Flash

Nowadays trail cameras offer two adjustable IR flashes on many models: Power Save and Long Range. This permits you to adjust according to your trail camera location and area. Power Save will produce an IR flash that is a little dim for photography purposes. Long Range will expand the IR flash out further.

When you place your trail cameras in the forest, Power Save IR flash mode works amazingly because you are watching a smaller region or area with your trail camera. A field is an ideal area or location to set your trail camera’s IR flash to Long Range mode. It’s more open and you can see further.

8. Capture Time

This element permits the user, while working the camera in Photo Mode or Video Mode, to choose a starting time and stop time to control the time span the camera triggers and catches pictures/recordings.

After knowing all the above-mentioned elements and settings, you could choose your trail camera to start taking pictures or recordings at a chosen time in the morning and have it stop at a chosen time in the evening. This saves both battery life and SD card space. And many more benefits to you. So, purchase your trail camera smartly.
