Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Day6 PlotWatcher Pro Game Surveillance System.

This camera continues the

tradition of technological

breakthrough started by

the original PlotWatcher

Time

Lapse HD video camera. Mounted at your

potential

hunting locations, it records HD video of all the activity that happens

in the days before you hunt, so you will know precisely when and where to

hunt.

Images are captured and stored as video frames, typically every 5 or 10

seconds, from dawn until d

usk, creating a time

compressed HD video of each

day’s activity.

The video file for each day can then be reviewed in just a few

minutes using the included GameFinder video player software.

The Game Surveillance innovation will dramatically increase

your effectiveness

as a hunter. Because you will know when and where to hunt, and have an

accurate record of recent activity, your choices will enable you to see more

animals, minimize wasted hunts, and better understand your chances for a true

trophy.

The PlotWatcher Pro breaks through battery life limitations by recording up to

120 days of activity onto an SDHC memory card.

This is 20 times more video

frames than the original PlotWatcher, and 40 to 100

times

more frames than

trail camera

The PlotWatcher Pro includes a large, easy to read LCD status screen that tells

you exactly what you need to know about the camera and allows you to take a

preview picture for aiming.

It also includes 3 slide switches for the main

settings, making i

t quick and easy to setup.

second or as long as 60 minutes.

ing

for greater zoom o

r wide angle

capabilities. These are

lapse camera can do

Using the GameFinder Software

Page |

www.day

6outdoors.com

The GameFinder player

is an easy, fast, and fun way to view

time

lapse video

files.

To open a file, navigate to the

DCIM

100D6OPR

folder on your

memory

ard

and double click on the file of interest. You will see one file per day when not

using Mid

day

kip, or two

files per day when using

the

Mid

day

kip feature.

Note that files are named based on the camera date on which they were

created.

The quickest and easiest way to get an overview of a

time

lapse video file is to

use your mouse to drag the “Positio

n Arrow” across the play bar (this is the

triangular indicator with the frame number displayed in it). This will preview,

in a very short time, what is contained in the file. You can drag to the right to

move forward in time, or to the left to move back

ward in time.

When you see an interesting portion of the file, stop dragging the Position

Arrow and use the scroll wheel on your mouse to move forward or backward

one frame at a time. If you don’t have a scroll wheel on your mouse, you can

use the arr

ow keys or just click on the back or forward STEP button.

To see every single picture, and ensure you do not miss any frames, you can

play the file like a traditional video. Just click on the back or forward PLAY

button to begin. Clicking again will sp

eed up the play, up to 5x by clicking

several times. (After 3x, some frames may be skipped). At any point if you

see something of interest, click on the video screen or scroll the mouse wheel

to pause the video and enter step/scroll mode.

SEARCH will

cause GameFinder to search in the direction of interest (forward or

backward) for motion and will move the “Position Arrow” to the frame in the

video file where movement is detected. A vertical line is drawn on the play

bar at each point where movement

is detected. If the search feature is too

sensitive, and you are finding shadows or trees that are moving, use the

SETTINGS button to limit the region of the field of view that is searched,
