We must have different cameras because mine says in the manual
"The sensor that triggers the trail camera is Passive Infra Red, or PIR. Infrared energy is essentially heat energy. This zone is a cone in the center 10 degrees of the camera's field of veiw. the camera established an average long-term infrared level. When this level increased suddenly the PIR detector signals the camera to record a picture and/or an event. Because of this effect, the PIR will be more sensitive at night, when the average temperature is lower.
You can use the red LED indicator on the front of the camera to confirm the detiction zone. When PIR is sensed, this "PIR detected" indicator will light. The camera's field of view is a 45 degree cone, centered on the PIR detection zone."


Another reason they suggest that you dont have it facing east or west or in an open meadow where the sun heats up the ground causing heat waves, the camera will take pics then.
My side of the box says
2.1 mp for hig quality digital photos
oversized camera flash for increased range
passive infrared sensor senses game out as far as 45 feet
fast trigger speed
camera functions 24 hours a day
still image and movie modes
motion activated
sd card slot
low battery indicator
extra wide security strapt and extra long battery life

Just thought i'd post that incase others wanted to know what it did.
