Mounting Your Sensor
The Camtraptions PIR Sensor v4 features two tripod sockets on the underside, providing flexible and secure mounting options for a wide range of setups.
Single-Screw Mounting
For simple installations—such as when using a MightyPod or a third-party tripod—the sensor can be mounted using just one tripod socket.
Dual-Screw Mounting
For the most secure and stable mounting, particularly in outdoor or long-term deployments, a dual-screw setup can be used.
This prevents the sensor from twisting or shifting during installation or use. The socket spacing matches the standard used by the Camtraptions JungleMount System, enabling the sensor to be mounted on:
- Ground
- Posts or poles
- Tree limbs or trunks
This system provides a robust, flexible solution for positioning the sensor in almost any environment.
When selecting a mounting method, ensure that the chosen mount does not obstruct the rear door of the sensor when it is opened. If the mount prevents the door from opening fully, attempting to forceforcing it may place stress ondamage the hinge and cause damage to the sensor.hinge. Always allow sufficient clearance for the door to open freely for battery changes.
