CAMERA MODE SETTINGS:•Image Size –Choose from native [lower] resolution or digitally enhanced [higher] resolution.The lower native resolution willsave space on Micro SD Card, allow the camera to process faster and in many cases photo detail will be more than sufficient forviewing on most computer screens and smaller devices.The higher digitally enhanced resolution is better for viewing photos onlarger screens (TV’s) or for printing large scale.•Capture Number –Number of images camera takes consecutively with each trigger event.•Delay Interval –Time allowed between each camera trigger event. A higher delay interval is used to limit excessive photos ofsame animals in each event in motion detection range;especially, for example, in stationary feeding locations. A lower delayinterval is used to gather as many photos as possible in each event in motion detection range;especially, for example, in quickactivity situations like on animal trails or during fast pace rut activity.•Time Stamp –Default ‘On’.This is the information bar that appears on the bottom of every photo.•Sync Coordinate –Default ‘Off’.Turn ‘On’ to store GPS location information to be saved in photo properties and will allow youto see where your camera is positioned or photo is taken via Geotag photos online (www.geoimgr.com)•Field Scan –Default ‘Off’.Allows camera to take Picture every so many minutes between two different times•Select Scan Interval –Amount of time in between each Picture•Select Start Time for Scan A•Select End Time for Scan A•Select Start Time for Scan B•Select End Time for Scan B•Select Save**MAKE SURE TO SELECT ‘SAVE’ AFTER CHANGING FIELD SCAN SETTINGS•Default Set –Resets All Camera Settings back to Original Manufacturer Default Settings.•NV Image –Options include:Max Distance –Longer shutter for illumination (could result in more blurry images with motion)Fast Motion –Shorter shutter to limit blur with motion (could result in darker images)Close Distance –Optimized shutter for close range operation•Camera Mode –Default operation ‘24HRS’.Can also choose between ‘Day Only’ or ‘Night Only’ camera operation.•Sensor Level –Default ‘Auto’.Selecting ‘High’ will result in more sensitivity in motion detection and could result in more triggerevents.Selecting ‘Low’ will reduce sensitivity to motion detection and could result in less trigger events.Auto is most common –‘High’ or ‘Low’ use in extreme temperature or motion environments –reference troubleshooting for examples.SETUP AND USE03-2018 –00 Page 9QUESTIONS?

VIDEO MODE SETTINGS:• Video Size –Choose from 640x480 [lower] resolution or 1280x720 [higher] resolution. • Video Length –Length of video recorded with each trigger event. Dynamic Video - Default ‘Off’. Dynamic Video setting will override manual ‘Video Length’ setting and will continue recording video for entire period motion is detected in video range. If you desire Dynamic Video, turn ‘On’. CAUTION: DYNAMIC VIDEO CAN GREATLY REDUCE BATTERY POWER DURING SITUATIONS WITH A LOT OF ACTIVITY RECORDING. • Delay Interval –Time allowed between each camera trigger event. A higher delay interval is used to limit excessive videos of same animals in each event in motion detection range; especially, for example, in stationary feeding locations. A lower delay interval is used to gather as many videos as possible in each event in motion detection range; especially, for example, in quickactivity situations like on animal trails or during fast pace rut activity. TIP: WHEN IN VIDEO MODE FOR QUICK ACTIVITY SITUATIONS, IT MAY BE BETTER TO USE A LONGER VIDEO LENGTH INSTEAD OF SHORT INTERVALS, AS STORING VIDEOS LEADS TO LONGER ‘CAMERA RECOVERY TIME’ THAN STORING PHOTOS.• Time Stamp –Default ‘On’. This is the information bar that appears on the bottom of every video.• Sync Coordinate –Default ‘Off’. Turn ‘On’ to store GPS location information to be saved in video properties and will allow you to see where your camera is positioned or photo is taken via Geotag photos online (www.geoimgr.com) advanced searching and sorting options.•Field Scan –Default ‘Off’.Allows camera to take Video every so many minutes between two different times•Select Scan Interval –Amount of time in between each Video•Select Start Time for Scan A•Select End Time for Scan A•Select Start Time for Scan B•Select End Time for Scan B•Select Save**MAKE SURE TO SELECT ‘SAVE’ AFTER CHANGING FIELD SCAN SETTINGS• Default Set –Resets All Camera Settings back to Original Manufacturer Default Settings•Camera Mode –Default operation ‘24HRS’.Can also choose between ‘Day Only’ or ‘Night Only’ camera operation.• Sensor Level – Default ‘Auto’. Selecting ‘High’ will result in more sensitivity in motion detection and could result in more trigger events. Selecting ‘Low’ will reduce sensitivity to motion detection and could result in less trigger events.

TROUBLE SHOOTING AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS03-2018 –00 Page 1603-2018 –00 Page 11QUESTIONS? Call 810-626-3026 or Visit www.hawkhunting.comTROUBLE SHOOTINGPROBLEMSOLUTIONFirmware UpdatesStay up to date with the latest firmware to insure your model camera is performing to its upmost ability. Updates will appear periodically, and the process will take a few short minutes.Limited Nighttime RangeThe Ghost cameras have flash ranges ranging from 80-120 feet. If you are experiencing less than average nighttime photos we would suggest first looking into the position of the camera. Having a camera in an area with no backdrop will not give the LED's anything to reflect on creating a dark photo. We suggest placing the camera with some sort of backdrop behind it. (Trees, tall grass, hillside). If that does not solve your issue we suggest next to look at your battery life. Poor battery life will compromise your cameras abilities. We suggest using Energizer Lithium batteries as they have enough amperage to handle the constant illumination.False TriggersBlank photos are described as False triggers. HAWK’s Ghost™ cameras have Ultra Sensor Technology that quickly recognizes game. Birds and vegetation are the main cause of false triggers, while you may not notice, the camera does. Clear the area where your camera is placed to insure on windy days that vegetation does not resemble a moving option and set off your camera. If you are still experiencing false triggers, reset to default settings and try your camera again.Field Scan (Time Lapse) Not working properly.Make sure that the stop and start times of Field Scan "A" and "B" do not overlap. (For example, do not set the start time of "B" to 9AM if the stop time of "A" is 11AM). When using Field Scan in video mode, the smallest interval time available is 5 min, to avoid potential overheating of the batteries and electronic components, which could cause operational failure or damage to the camera. In still photo mode, a 1 min. Interval can be set.Camera stops taking images or won't take imagesPlease Make sure the SD card is inserted properly, If inserted properly, please check that the SD Card is not full. When full the camera will stop taking images.Can’t enter the APP Camera Settings page after trying to connect cameraOnly cameras in green under camera list are within Bluetooth range to connect. If battery life is low, you may still see cameras in green but it will take a long time to connect. Please change batteries to solve this issue.Additional Trouble shooting and FAQ'sView the Advanced Support section in the HAWK Sync App. Or contact Customer Service at 810-626-3026 or e-mail at contact@hawkhunting.com for assistance.QUESTIONS?
