The GPS feature makes your camera smarter by helping you track its location at all times. Never forget where your camera is placed, and easily mark important spots on the map to enhance your outdoor experience.
1. Feature Overview
● Automatic Camera Location Sync
①. Once enabled, GPS cameras will automatically update their location daily and display it in the app’s map view.
②. The first sync may take up to 1 day after activation. To check the location immediately, use the GPS TEST function in the camera settings.
③. If the camera is placed in a blocked area (e.g., indoors), GPS may fail. For best results, place the camera in an open outdoor area.
● Manual Pin Marking
You can manually add pins for non-GPS cameras and important field locations (such as animal tracks, campsites, etc.) for better organization and tracking.
● Movement Alert
If your GPS camera moves more than 500 meters, the app will send a notification once the new location is synced, helping protect your device.
2. Camera Location Sync Settings
GardePro GPS-enabled cameras can periodically sync their location and show it clearly on the map.
● Supported sync intervals: Every Day / Every 3 Day / Every 7 Day – configurable in camera settings to balance battery usage and update frequency.
● All synced GPS cameras will appear on the map for easy tracking.
