Welcome
Using technology to automatically detect wild birds is a science that
requires some artfulness on the part of the user. Wingscapes has
designed the BirdCam to be simple for beginning users, but also to be
flexible enough to work in a variety of conditions.
The easiest way to get started is to...get started. Refer to the “Quick
Start Guide” in the following pages and begin experimenting with a
simple setup. (We think the best way to get started is to simply set the
BirdCam on the ground — with bird seed scattered 2 to 4 feet in front
of it.)
Weather, bird species, feeder type, feeder placement, and other factors
all influence BirdCam performance. Custom settings allow you to
optimize the BirdCam for a variety of conditions. Finding the correct
combination of settings and BirdCam placement for a given situation
may require some experimentation and practice. At any time, you can
reset the BirdCam to its factory default settings in the SETUP menu.
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with this guide and the
basics of operating the BirdCam. If at any time you need assistance or
have questions about the BirdCam’s operation, please visit the support
section of our website (www.wingscapes.com) or contact us via e-mail
or phone.

Quick Start Guide
The following steps outline the quickest way to begin using your
BirdCam. We recommend that you scan the remainder of this user’s
guide before using your new BirdCam.
1. Remove BirdCam from packaging.
2. Remove rear battery compartment door and insert four new
D-cell batteries.
3. Mount the BirdCam so that it is aimed where a bird will land
(preferably within 4 feet). (Refer to the chapter on Mounting
the BirdCam for suggestions.)
4. Using the included tape measure, adjust the focus ring to
match the distance between the BirdCam and the target.
5. Move the BirdCam’s power switch to the ON position.
6. Close the door and secure the latches of the BirdCam.
What Happens Then?
The BirdCam will be in the MODE menu. After a 30-second countdown,
the BirdCam enters AUTO mode using the factory default, EASY-PHOTO
settings. After another 30-second countdown, the BirdCam will watch
for and photograph birds until either the memory is depleted or the
batteries are drained.
