3.1 Installing Your Camera

3.2 Securing the Box

The S-SB-T offers multiple options for securing your camera and the box itself:

• Padlock: A dedicated hole is provided on the front of the box to install a standard padlock (not included). This secures the camera inside the box and prevents unauthorized access to the camera itself.
• Cable-Lock: Holes are present on both sides of the security box, allowing for the use of a cable-lock (not included). This enables you to secure the entire box to a tree, post, or other fixed object, preventing its removal.
• Anchoring: The back panel of the security box features holes that can be used to anchor the box directly to a tree or wall using screws or bolts (not included) for a more permanent installation.

4. Operation

The S-SB-T security box is designed for ease of access to your camera while maintaining security. To access your camera for battery changes, SD card retrieval, or settings adjustments:

1. Unlock: If a padlock or cable-lock is in use, unlock and remove it from the security box.
2. Remove Front Panel: Carefully remove the front panel of the security box. This provides full access to the camera without needing to remove the entire box from its mounted location.
3. Perform Camera Tasks: Once the front panel is removed, you can easily retrieve pictures, swap batteries, or adjust camera settings.
4. Re-secure: After completing your tasks, reattach the front panel and re-engage any security locks to ensure the camera remains protected.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the exterior of the security box with a damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the security box for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion, especially if exposed to harsh weather conditions. Ensure all locking mechanisms are functioning correctly.
• Rust Prevention: While made of steel, prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to rust. Consider applying a rust-inhibiting spray to the exterior if the box is in a particularly wet environment, ensuring not to spray into camera openings.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Difficulty Opening/Closing Front Panel

• Check for Obstructions: Ensure no debris or foreign objects are preventing the panel from sliding or latching correctly.
• Verify Camera Placement: Confirm the game camera is seated properly within the box and not obstructing the panel's movement.
• Inspect for Damage: Check if the panel or the box frame is bent or damaged, which might impede smooth operation.

6.2 Security Locks Not Engaging

• Padlock: Ensure the padlock shackle is correctly aligned with the hole on the front panel. Use a padlock with an appropriate shackle diameter.
• Cable-Lock: Verify the cable-lock is threaded through both side holes and is not obstructed.

6.3 Rust Formation

• Clean and Treat: If minor rust appears, clean the affected area and apply a rust-inhibiting primer or paint.
• Relocate: If possible, consider relocating the security box to a drier environment or providing additional shelter from direct rain and moisture.
