6) Battery capacity
Rechargeable NiMH batteries are recommended for regular use of game cameras. Apart from saving
costs, these batteries have the advantage that, in contrast to conventional alkaline manganese batteries,
they also deliver a current when outdoor temperatures are low (below 0° centigrade). To ensure correct
functioning of the camera it is important that all batteries are charged at the same level!. Always check
the uniform battery charge. Many manufacturers specify a battery life of up to 6 or 12 months. This
information is usually based on 5 recordings during the day and 5 at night (with IR flash). The IR flash
uses up the largest amount of power in the camera. Frequent triggering at night or corresponding video
recordings can reduce the battery life considerably. It may therefore also be expedient to select short video
sequences of 5 or 10 seconds.
7) Safety
Game cameras appeal to people. For this reason all MINOX DTC game cameras can be secured on a tree
or such by threading a steel cable through the provided openings and eyes, that is then closed using a
lock. You should also use password protection. This function allows you to enter a 4-digit password to
prevent your DTC game camera from being stolen. The camera only works when the password has been
entered.
