Moultrie D50 (GV) Game Camera Details

The Moultrie D50 (GV) Digital Game Camera is designed for versatile field monitoring, featuring a robust, weather-resistant case. Initial setup involves rotating housing clips to unlock, inserting six D Cell batteries (ensuring correct polarity), and then re-locking the housing. The manual emphasizes contacting customer service for issues rather than returning the unit to a retailer.

To power on, slide the function switch to the SETUP position and press and hold the ON/OFF button. The camera conserves battery life by automatically shutting off if there is no activity for two minutes. This ensures the 60-day average battery life with D-Cell batteries is maximized, especially in above-freezing temperatures.

The camera's setup menu offers comprehensive customization. Users can precisely set the date and time, manage storage by choosing to reset event counters, or erase all images. Furthermore, it allows for selection between default or custom settings, offering flexibility to suit specific monitoring needs.

Capture settings include selecting between still pictures or 10-second video clips. Users can also define the image quality (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH) and video quality (LOW, HIGH). The Flash setting can be set to AUTO, where it fires in low light, or OFF for security mode, capturing dark night pictures without alerting subjects.

For efficient monitoring, the camera provides an Event Delay option, allowing users to choose intervals of 1, 5, 10, or 60 minutes between detections. The Multi-Shots feature enables capturing 1, 2, or 3 pictures per event, though this is ignored when in Video or Handheld mode. A unique Camera ID can also be set for easy identification.

Beyond automatic operation, the camera supports a Handheld mode for manual picture taking, activated by sliding the function switch to SETUP and navigating to the HANDHELD option. The camera also includes an IR AIM mode, where a red status light indicates motion detection, assisting in precise camera placement to find the desired target area.

The D50 (GV) offers flexible memory options, using either its 16 MB internal memory or an optional SD card up to 16 GB. When an SD card is inserted, it overrides the internal memory. It is crucial to always turn the unit off before inserting or removing any memory card to prevent data corruption or damage.

Viewing recorded content is straightforward via TV OUT or USB. Connecting to a television allows scrolling through images using the CHANGE buttons. For PC viewing, the camera connects as a removable drive, compatible with various Windows operating systems, allowing direct printing or editing of images and videos.

The camera's infrared detection system is sensitive to moving heat sources. Its sensitivity can be verified using the IR AIM mode by walking across the field of view. The robust design includes a viewfinder, flash sensor, light sensor, status LED, lockable latches, and an airtight weather-resistant seal for durability in outdoor environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Moultrie D50 (GV) Digital Game Camera, and we answer them below.

How do I install batteries in the Moultrie D50 (GV) camera?

Unlock the housing clips, remove the internal housing, and open the battery chamber. Insert 6 fresh D Cell batteries, ensuring positive (+) and negative (-) polarities are correctly lined up. Close the chamber and lock the housing clips.

What battery type and life can I expect from the camera?

The camera uses 6 D Cell batteries (standard or rechargeable). You can expect an average battery life of about 60 days, depending on temperature and usage. A low battery indicator appears when the charge is at 20%.

How do I turn the camera on and off?

To turn the camera ON, slide the function switch to the SETUP position, then press and hold the ON/OFF button until the LCD display appears. To turn it OFF, press the ON/OFF button again for about 1 second. The camera will auto-shutoff after 2 minutes of inactivity.

What are the different operational modes available on the Moultrie D50 (GV)?

The camera has four main operational modes: AUTO (for automatic infrared detection), HANDHELD (for manual picture taking), SETUP (for customizing camera settings), and PLAYBACK (for reviewing recorded images/videos).

How do I set the date and time on the camera?

In the SETUP menu, navigate to SETUP TIME/DATE. Press the SELECT button, and the month will flash. Use the CHANGE Up or Down buttons to select the correct value, then press SELECT to confirm. Repeat this process for the date and time.

Can I reset the event counter on my camera?

Yes, from the SETUP menu, navigate to RESET EVENTS. Press SELECT, choose YES using the CHANGE Up button, and press SELECT again to reset the event counter to "0".

How do I erase images from the camera's memory?

In the SETUP menu, select ERASE IMAGES. Press SELECT, choose YES with the CHANGE Up button to erase all images, and then press SELECT again to confirm.

What capture modes are available, and how do I select them?

You can choose between STILL (for still pictures) and VIDEO (for 10-second video clips). In the SETUP menu, navigate to CAPTURE MODE and use the CHANGE buttons to make your selection, then press SELECT.

How does the flash operate, and what is 'security mode'?

The flash has two settings: AUTO, where it fires automatically in low light or night situations, and OFF. In OFF (security mode), the flash never fires, allowing the camera to take pictures in the dark without alerting the subject, though these images may be dark.

What is the purpose of the Multi-Shot setting, and when is it ignored?

The Multi-Shot setting allows the camera to take 1, 2, or 3 pictures in sequence after one event detection. This setting is ignored when the capture mode is set to VIDEO or when the camera is in HANDHELD mode.

How does the camera utilize its internal and external memory?

The camera has 16 MB of internal memory. If an optional SD memory card (up to 16 GB) is inserted, it overrides the internal memory. Images stored internally become inaccessible with an SD card in place but can be accessed via USB when the SD card is removed.

How do I view images and videos recorded by the camera?

You can view images by sliding the function switch to PLAYBACK and connecting the TV OUT port to a TV's VIDEO IN jack. Use the CHANGE buttons to scroll. Alternatively, connect the camera via USB to a PC (Windows ME/2000/XP/VISTA/7) and access it as a removable drive.

What operating systems are compatible for USB viewing on a PC?

The Moultrie D50 (GV) is compatible with PCs running Windows ME, 2000, XP, VISTA, and 7 for USB viewing, allowing the computer to recognize the unit as a removable drive.

How can I test the infrared sensor's sensitivity and aiming?

Slide the function switch to the IR AIM position and hold the ON/OFF button. Once in IR AIM mode, wave your hand in front of the camera; the Status light will turn red upon motion detection. Walk across the field of view at various distances to verify sensitivity.

What should I do if my camera isn't operating consistently in cold weather?

The manual states that the camera may not operate consistently in below freezing temperatures. Battery life is significantly shortened in cold conditions. Consider using a Moultrie Powerpanel accessory or ensuring fresh, high-quality D-cell batteries are used.
