Moultrie D5 (MCG-12617) Details

The Moultrie D5 Digital Game Camera is designed for straightforward field use, featuring a clear front view with a camera lens, motion sensor, and red status indicator LED flash. A green LED indicates battery status. Its bottom view reveals an external power port, SD card slot, and USB port, offering comprehensive connectivity options for data transfer and extended power.

This camera offers three distinct modes via a slide switch: IR Aim, Setup, and Auto. IR Aim assists in positioning the camera by flashing a red LED upon motion detection, ensuring the desired target area is covered. The Setup mode allows access to the main screen for adjusting settings like time, date, camera ID, and resetting the file count.

User interaction is facilitated through intuitive controls, including the ON/OFF button for power management and waking the camera from sleep. Select, Enter, and Up/Down buttons allow users to scroll through options, confirm selections, and change values, making configuration seamless. For power, the camera relies on four C-cell alkaline batteries, with strict polarity alignment required to prevent damage.

Storage for captured photos and videos is handled by an SD card slot, supporting cards up to 32GB. It's crucial that an SD card is installed for the camera to function. For data retrieval, a USB port enables direct connection to a computer, allowing users to download media using a separately sold USB cable.

The camera supports external power sources, specifically Moultrie PowerPanel or Moultrie Battery Box accessories, which are sold separately. It's important to note that using any other power source will void the warranty and may damage the camera. The PowerPanel requires at least four hours of sunlight for a full charge, extending field life.

Mounting the D5 is flexible, often involving a strap to secure it to a tree or pole approximately three feet high. Proper camera placement advises facing it North or South to prevent sun overexposure and clearing brush to avoid false triggers from wind. The camera can also be used with a Deluxe Tree Mount accessory for more precise positioning.

Programming includes setting the time and date, resetting the picture count (starting from 0001), and assigning a unique camera ID (1-9) which will appear on the info strip of captured images. The camera also features adjustable time delay settings (1, 5, 10, or 30 minutes) between triggers, allowing users to customize capture intervals based on their needs.

Image quality is selectable with High (2560 x 1920) or Low (640 x 480) resolution for still photos, and a VID setting for video capture. Video clips are recorded at 10-second intervals at 30 frames per second. After setting preferences, sliding the mode switch to Auto activates the camera, which will enter a power-saving sleep mode after two minutes of inactivity.

Viewing captured media can be done by removing the SD card and inserting it into a compatible player or card reader. Alternatively, the camera can be connected directly to a Windows PC (XP/Vista/7) via a USB cable, which makes the camera appear as a removable drive for easy file transfer. This allows for convenient editing or printing of images and videos at home.
