Moultrie M-888 (MCG-13067) Details

The Moultrie M-888 (MCG-13067) Digital Game Camera is designed for versatile field monitoring, offering intuitive setup and robust performance. Users can quickly prepare the camera using the Quick Start mode, or opt for Custom Start to fine-tune settings. A key feature is the Aim mode, which uses a red LED on the front motion sensor to help position the camera accurately, ensuring the desired target area is covered for motion detection. Physical controls include an LCD Display, SD Card Slot, Menu Button, OK/Select Button, and Navigation Buttons for easy menu navigation and setting adjustments.

Beyond initial setup, the M-888 provides three primary capture modes: Motion Detect, Time Lapse, and Motion + Time Lapse. Motion Detect captures photos or videos when movement or heat is sensed, with adjustable PIR Sensitivity (High for open areas, Low for close range) and Detection Delay from 0 seconds to 30 minutes to prevent excessive captures. The Time Lapse mode takes pictures at periodic intervals, configurable through two distinct programs, each with specific start and stop times. The versatile Motion + Time Lapse mode combines both functionalities, utilizing Time Lapse during programmed intervals and Motion Detect for the rest of the day.

The camera offers extensive control over photo and video output. Users can choose from four Photo Quality settings, ranging up to Max Zoom (4992 x 2808), and two Video Quality settings (HD or VGA). The Multi-Shot feature allows for single captures, 3 BURST (three rapid photos within one second at up to 4MP), or 3 TRIGGERED (up to three photos with a one-second delay between triggers). For night photography, the Motion Freeze setting enhances clarity by adjusting exposure time to reduce blur, providing brighter and sharper images, though it can be turned off for increased flash range.

Memory management and system configuration are straightforward. The Managed Memory option dictates whether the camera overwrites the oldest files when the SD card is full or stops capturing images. Users can easily erase all images and format the SD card directly within the camera's menu. For enhanced security, a 5-digit Security Code can be set, protecting camera settings from unauthorized changes. Additionally, the camera supports firmware upgrades when prompted by a technician, ensuring the device remains up-to-date with the latest enhancements and functionalities from Moultrie.

Powering the M-888 is flexible, accommodating eight AA alkaline or lithium batteries, and it includes an External Power Port compatible with Moultrie's PowerPanel, AC Adapter, or Battery Box accessories. The AC Connected setting, when external power is used, keeps the camera active between sequences, significantly improving speed and performance. Viewing captured images and videos is convenient; users can remove the SD card for playback on external devices, or connect the camera directly to a PC or Mac via its USB Port for downloading and editing. The unit functions as a removable drive, simplifying content transfer.

Further expanding its utility, the Moultrie M-888 is compatible with Moultrie Mobile® cellular service when paired with the Field Modem MV1, enabling remote monitoring capabilities, though a firmware update might be necessary for full functionality. The camera also includes an Infostrip feature to imprint details like camera name, date, time, and temperature (in Fahrenheit or Celsius) onto images and videos, providing valuable context. Moultrie stands behind its product with a 2-year limited warranty, requiring registration for activation, and offers comprehensive customer support for troubleshooting and repairs.

How do I activate the warranty for my Moultrie M-888?
You must register your camera at www.moultriefeeders.com/warranty to activate your 2-year limited warranty. It's important to complete this step after purchase.

What type of batteries does the M-888 camera use, and how many?
The camera is powered by eight (8) AA alkaline or lithium batteries. It is recommended to use Energizer batteries and to always replace all batteries at the same time, avoiding mixing old and new ones.

What kind of SD card is compatible with the Moultrie M-888?
The Moultrie M-888 accepts external SD memory cards up to 32GB, and a Class 4 or higher rating is required for proper operation. An SD card is essential for the camera to capture any photos or videos.

How can I quickly set up the camera to start capturing images?
To use Quick Start, install batteries and an SD card, then slide the power switch to Quick Start. You will only need to set the date and time, and the camera will operate using its factory default settings for motion detection.

What are the primary capture modes available on the Moultrie M-888?
The camera features three main operational modes: Motion Detect (captures based on movement), Time Lapse (captures at set intervals), and Motion + Time Lapse (combines both modes at different times of the day).

Can I connect my Moultrie M-888 to an external power source?
Yes, the camera has an External Power Port that accepts Moultrie PowerPanel, Moultrie AC Adapter, or Moultrie Battery Box accessories (sold separately). Using other power sources will void the warranty.

How does the 'Motion Freeze' feature improve night photos?
Motion Freeze maximizes image clarity in night photos by adjusting the exposure time to reduce blur caused by motion. It also increases brightness and clarity. Turning it off will increase flash range and overall image brightness, but without blur reduction.

What options do I have for memory management when the SD card is full?
The Managed Memory setting allows you to choose between two options: OVERWRITE OLDEST, which replaces old files with new captures, or DO NOT OVERWRITE, which stops image capture once the SD card reaches full capacity.

Is the Moultrie M-888 compatible with Moultrie Mobile cellular service?
Yes, your Moultrie M-888 camera is compatible with Moultrie Mobile® cellular service when combined with the Field Modem MV1. A camera firmware update may be required for full functionality.

How do I view the images and videos captured by the camera?
You can view images by removing the SD card and loading it into a card reader or external player. Alternatively, connect the camera directly to a PC or Mac via a micro-B to USB cable (not included), and the camera will appear as a removable drive.

What is the purpose of the camera's security code feature?
The Security Code feature allows you to set a 5-digit code to protect your camera's settings from unauthorized access or accidental changes. Remember to keep a record of your code, as charges may apply for a password reset if it's lost.
