Quick Set Programming

The Wildview 14 features Quick Set Programming for rapid deployment. Access the internal display and use the navigation buttons (up/down/enter) to select pre-configured settings for common scenarios. Refer to the on-screen prompts for guidance.

Setting Date and Time

To ensure accurate timestamps on your images and videos, it is crucial to set the correct date and time. Navigate through the menu using the internal display and buttons. Select the 'Date/Time' option and adjust the year, month, day, hour, and minute. Confirm your selections to save. Note: Some users have reported difficulty with the responsiveness of the menu buttons when setting the time and date. Ensure firm presses and allow a moment for the camera to register input.
