To mount the 8-inchtall device, hang it by its nylon strap some 3 feet off the ground, giving the wide-angle lens an ideal perspective. The AA batteries will provide power 24/7 for around 12 weeks.

2 Wait for evening

When an onboard infrared sensor detects motion within 80 feet and a temperature warmer than the air, it activates a night-vision camera. It then shoots video or 16-megapixel photo bursts.

3 Check your phone

A pair of cellular antennas uploads the files to cloudbased storage software. An algorithm automatically tags them by season, moon cycle, and subject—like turkeys, bucks, or does.
