Moultrie lets you manage your camera settings from wherever you are by using the app or website. Whether you want to get more pictures, or less pictures, you can remotely adjust your settings to dial your camera in. Continue reading for more information about camera settings and step-by-step instructions on how to update them.
SETTINGS DEFINED
Camera Name: This determines the name that is displayed on the info strip and in your app.
Upload Frequency: This determines how often your device uploads pictures.
Motion Detect: If this option is selected, your camera will use Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) to capture photos when motion is detected.
Time-Lapse: If this option is selected, the camera will disable its motion detect function and capture photos at set intervals based on the predetermined time-lapse periods.
Motion + Time-Lapse: If this option is selected, your camera will use PIR to capture photos when motion is detected while simultaneously operating your time-lapse schedule.
Motion Freeze: When turned on the camera will use a shorter exposure at night to reduce blur on moving objects.
Single Shot: If this option is selected, your camera will take one picture each time the camera is triggered.
3 Burst: If this option is selected, your camera will take three pictures in rapid succession each time your camera is triggered.
3 Trigger: If this option is selected, your camera will take up to three photos before activating the detection delay, as long as the motion that originally triggered the camera continues to be detected.
Photo Resolution: This setting determines the resolution of the photo.
PIR Sensitivity: This setting determines the amount and proximity of motion required to trigger the camera in motion detect mode.
Detection Delay: This setting determines how long your camera will 'sleep' after taking a picture before it is allowed to trigger again.
Format SD Card/Clear Memory: When enabled, this will format (erase) the SD Card or internal memory at the next check-in.
Info Strip: If turned on, picture data will be displayed at the bottom of the images.
Managed Memory: If enabled, this feature will automatically delete the oldest image or video from the SD Card or internal memory to make room for new uploads.
Daily Test Image: This allows the camera to take a daily test image between 12 pm-1 pm and will be uploaded at the next check-in. This does count towards your monthly image allowance.

Pro Tips:
- Camera settings vary from model to model, so refer to your manual for specific settings information. Or, simply click on the 'i' icon next to the setting name for a brief description of that particular setting.
- When using a traditional trail camera with a field modem, and your camera has the Custom Start option, your camera must be set there to be fully in sync with Moultrie Mobile. If your camera does not have Custom Start, set it to the On position.
