Use Leaf River Trail Cam With Macintosh

Leaf River trail cameras are digital scouting cameras.


Leaf River trail cameras are specialized digital cameras designed for mounting on trees via a bracket. They can record still images or videos of deer or other large game. The cameras use a test light that automatically trips the camera to record any movement within range. Using the camera with a Macintosh to see and edit the recorded images or video constitutes just as straightforward a process as performing the same function with a standard digital camera. Use a card reader when you don't have direct access to your computer.


Instructions


Card reader


1. Turn off the camera.


2. Remove the memory card from the camera. Your Leaf River trail camera will use either the secure digital (SD), multimedia card (MMC) or compact flash (CF) memory card type. Consult your owner's manual to see which type your camera uses.


3. Insert the card into a memory card reader, then plug the reader into your Macintosh's USB port.


4. Double-click on the mounted memory card icon on the Macintosh's desktop.


5. Navigate through the folders on the memory card to find the saved photographs.


6. Copy the images to your Macintosh's hard drive: Either drag and drop them from the memory card folder to the folder on the hard drive, or select them with the mouse, copy them by pressing the "Command" and "C" keys simultaneously, then paste them into the new folder by clicking the folder to select it and then pressing the "Command" and "V" keys.


Connecting via USB Cable


7. Power on the Leaf River Trail Camera, and wait until the back light goes off in the lower display.


8. Push the "CAM-PW" button, then wait for the red light above the memory card slot to turn on and off.


9. Press the "Preview" button to see the recorded photographs on the camera screen.


10. Connect your computer to the Game Camera with the provided USB cable. It will mount as a removable disk.


11. Navigate through the folders on the mounted memory disk to find the photographs.


12. Drag and drop or copy and paste the recorded files to your hard drive. Once the file finishes copying, you can safely disconnect the camera from your computer.
