How to use your infrared trail camera over RacH2O sources
- Deer spend a great amount of time over the RacH2O sources.
- This is why it is extremely important to take every step possible to make sure you are not spooking them!

In testing, we measured RacH2O intake over a 10 day period at multiple watering holes. During the first 5 days we had the LED lights on the infrared cameras covered up. After the first 5 days, we uncovered the LED lights on the infrared cameras. We then measured the water intake over the first 5 days and compared it to the last 5 days.
When covering up the LED lights, deer drank, on average, 74% more RacH2O than when the LED lights were uncovered and emitting light at night. This helped verify our conclusion that infrared cameras that do emit a light at night do spook deer over the RacH2O sources and lead to a decrease in total water consumption.
