OutbackCam can be triggered again. Longer delays (e.g., 15 - 30 seconds) improve battery life and prevent the OutbackCam from taking too many pictures of the same things. Audio Select whether to turn on or off sound Recording recording with the built-in microphone.

Language Select the menu language. Time/Date Set the time and date. Be sure the OutbackCam has the correct time and date, so captured events are accurately time stamped and the time lapse feature activates the OutbackCam at the right time.

Option To do this... Trigger Logs Turn this on if you want the OutbackCam to only log the times and dates it was triggered. The OutbackCam does not capture any photo or video during motion events, conserving battery life, which is useful if you just want to conduct an initial survey of a particular observation area for an extended time.
