Then pay particular attention to the vertical tilt, i.e. the correct inclination of the camera. This is especially important when the camera is not mounted on straight, vertical posts or surfaces. Once you have found a good position, switch the camera to SETUP mode. Move from one side to the other in front of the camera. The red LED should flash to show that you have been detected by the motion sensor. This should help you decide roughly where to direct the camera lens. Such a general orientation is usually sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Ch2>Troubleshooting the Minox Wildlife Camera DTC 395: Common Issues and Fixes\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Encountering problems with your Minox Wildlife Camera DTC 395?
