8. couting camera has an impressive 1 second trigger time However when game passes across very quickly the picture may only capture the rear part of the body and possibly nothing at all With the unique side prep PIR sensors design our Ltl Acorn solves this issue The combination of the two side prep sensors and the main sensor comes up with a 100 to 120 angle of induction a very wide scope far outweighing the 50 angle of the camera lens When game first crosses the PIR area of the prep sensor the camera is activated and ready to shoot after 1 second If the game continually enters into the PIR area of the main sensor the camera takes pictures immediately therefore catching the whole body of the game This split second process could be as short as 0 2 second In the case the game browses only in the PIR area of the prep sensors to avoid the camera being powered on constantly the system is designed to work in the following way If the game does not enter the PIR area of the main sensor and therefore not trigger the main sensor the camera will power off after 3 seconds If the trigger events consecutively happened twice only in the PIR area of the prep sensors the camera will not be activated by the side prep sensors but only by the main sensor So later on when the game enters the PIR area of the main sensor eventually since it is not in fast movement the picture will by all means capture the whole body of the game based on our stan
