Moultrie W-900iXT (MCG-12621) Details

The Moultrie W-900iXT (MCG-12621) digital game camera boasts an intuitive user interface for streamlined field operation. It features an LCD display for navigation, accompanied by OK/Select, Up/Down, Left/Right buttons, and a dedicated Menu button for setup access. A critical three-position power switch controls OFF, IR AIM, and ON modes. The IR Aim function is vital for precise camera placement, as it illuminates a red LED indicator when motion is detected within the target area, ensuring optimal coverage before the camera begins active monitoring. This design prioritizes ease of use and effective deployment.

Versatility is key with three distinct capture modes. Motion Detect Mode efficiently captures still images or videos solely when triggered by movement. For comprehensive daily monitoring, Time Lapse Mode photographs at user-defined intervals throughout programmed periods, supporting up to two independent daily programs. The advanced Motion + Time Lapse Mode intelligently combines both functionalities: operating in time-lapse during specified intervals and seamlessly switching to motion detection for the remainder of the day. This intelligent hybrid mode maximizes data collection, capturing both environmental changes and specific animal activity without constant manual adjustment.

Beyond its core specifications, the W-900iXT offers extensive customization for image and video capture quality. Users can select from four photo quality settings, ranging from Low (0.9MP) to Enhanced (10MP), and two video quality options (HD or VGA). Video recording length is adjustable from 5 to 90 seconds, with an option to enable or disable audio. To overcome low-light challenges, the unique Motion Freeze feature significantly improves night photo clarity by adjusting exposure time, thereby reducing blur from subject movement while simultaneously enhancing image brightness and overall detail.

The camera incorporates thoughtful features for extended field deployment and secure data management. The "AC Connected" setting optimizes performance when an external power source like a Moultrie PowerPanel is utilized, preventing the camera from entering sleep mode between detections, thus improving responsiveness. For efficient storage management, the "Managed Memory" option allows users to choose between overwriting the oldest files once the SD card is full or stopping image capture, ensuring critical footage is retained. Furthermore, a 5-digit security code option is available to protect camera settings from unauthorized changes.

Customization extends to specific capture scenarios through predefined Reset Options for motion detection, including "Recommended Setup," "Max Battery," and "Max Performance." These presets simplify camera configuration for varied needs. For tailored image sequences, the Multi-Shot setting allows for either a single photo per event, a rapid 3 BURST sequence (ideal for fast-moving subjects, limited to 4MP), or 3 TRIGGERED photos with a one-second delay between each, increasing the likelihood of capturing desired shots effectively. This flexible multi-shot system adapts to different subject behaviors.

What type and quantity of batteries does the W-900iXT require?
The camera is powered by eight (8) AA alkaline or lithium batteries. It's recommended to use Duracell or Energizer, avoid mixing old and new batteries, and remove them when the camera is not in use.

Is an SD card essential for the camera to function?
Yes, an SD card must be installed for the camera to operate and capture any photos or videos. The camera will not function without it.

What is the maximum supported SD card capacity for this camera?
The Moultrie W-900iXT supports external SD memory cards up to 32 GB. For optimal performance, a Class 4 or higher SD card is recommended.

Can I use any external power source with the W-900iXT?
No, only Moultrie PowerPanel, Moultrie AC Adapter, or Moultrie Battery Box accessories (sold separately) are supported. Using any other power source will void your warranty and may harm your camera.

What is the function of the 'IR Aim' setting?
The IR Aim setting helps you accurately position your camera. When active, the Status Indicator’s red LED on the front will light up and remain lit as long as motion is detected by the PIR sensor, indicating the camera's active detection zone.

How do the Motion Detect, Time Lapse, and Motion + Time Lapse modes differ?
*Motion Detect* captures images/videos on movement. *Time Lapse* takes photos at set intervals during programmed times. *Motion + Time Lapse* combines both, using time-lapse during programmed intervals and motion detection for the rest of the day.

What does the 'Motion Freeze' feature do for night photos?
Motion Freeze maximizes night image clarity by adjusting the exposure time to reduce blur associated with motion. It also makes other adjustments to increase the brightness and clarity of night photos.

Can I convert my time-lapse photos into a video?
Yes, you can download the free Moultrie Time Lapse Software from www.moultriefeeders.com/timelapsesoftware. This software allows you to load time-lapse files and convert them into videos with adjustable frame rates and resolutions.

What happens when the SD card reaches its capacity?
You can configure the "Managed Memory" setting. With "OVERWRITE OLDEST" selected, the camera will continuously record by overwriting the oldest files. If "DO NOT OVERWRITE" is chosen, the camera will stop capturing images once the card is full.

How can I view images and videos captured by the camera?
You can remove the SD card and load it into a compatible player or card reader. Alternatively, connect the camera directly to a PC using a Micro-B to USB cable (not included); the computer will recognize it as a removable drive.

Is technical support available for Wi-Fi SD cards used with the W-900iXT?
Moultrie does not offer technical support for Wi-Fi SD cards. You should contact your Wi-Fi card’s manufacturer for support. Note that using a Wi-Fi SD card will decrease the camera's battery life.
