The MODE settings on the COVERT NBF30 allow you to configure the camera’s primary operational parameters.

PIR Interval: Allows you to customize how often the camera can be allowed to take a photo. This prevents the card from filling up with too many redundant images.

Time Lapse: When choosing time lapse, the camera takes photos or videos even when it is not triggered by heat or motion. It’s useful for constant monitoring of an area.

Work Time: If you only want your camera to be on during part of the day, you can set the Work Time function. There are 2 groups of Work Time for each setting.

You can adjust the following photo settings on your COVERT NBF30:

Photo Burst: Your camera can take a 1-10 shot burst every time the PIR is triggered to take a photo.

• For best results, mount the camera approximately 4 feet off the ground facing straight forward as level as possible.

• To enhance the flash, position the camera in an area with a backdrop to reflect the maximum amount of light. For instance, place the camera 20-30′ from a field edge facing the woods. For the inside of timber, position the camera facing a thicket approximately 20-30′ away.

• Try to set the camera up so it’s not facing directly into the sun either in the morning or the evening when game movement is at its peak.

• Use a mounting system to mount the camera up higher pointing down for a better look. This works great when you don’t have a straight tree to attach to.
