How should I position the Cloud Camera®?

For best results, follow these tips for mounting your Cloud Camera®.

Position the camera facing north or south

The sun can cause false triggers with east or west camera placement.  North is best.

Point camera at a 45-degree angle

Position your camera at a 45-degree angle to a trail, allowing more time for an animal to trigger the camera’s sensors for a photo.  Never place a camera directly across from a trail because it will leave less time for your camera to photograph a fast-moving deer or other object.

Place camera about 6 meter (20 feet) from your target

This distance helps provide good lighting for a clear photo of the entire target.

Place camera 1-1,5 meters (3 to 5 feet) off the ground

Mount your camera to a stand or a strong tree that won’t sway.  This will help ensure you don’t receive any unwanted photos of small critters curious about your camera.

Clear vegetation from the front of the camera

Remove grass, small limbs and twigs away from the camera’s view to avoid getting unwanted pictures of moving vegetation.
