Presentation of the product

Power supply

Batteries
The camera runs on 4 AA size batteries. The product can work with alkaline or NiMH rechargeable batteries. You can purchase alkaline or Ni-MH AA batteries at any time on www.numaxes.com. Before inserting or removing the batteries, the camera must be turned off (switch in the OFF position). When inserting the batteries, make sure to follow polarity indicated inside the battery slot. Upside down batteries may cause device malfunction.
NOTE: Don’t mix battery types! This may cause permanent damage not covered by the guarantee.

The device can be operated without batteries, with the solar panel only, but this is not recommended. In case of low temperatures or low light conditions, it is recommended to use AA batteries in conjunction with the solar panel.

Solar panel
Fully charge the lithium battery of the solar panel before using the product. The built-in battery is the primary power source for the camera. The solar panel built-in battery can be charged with solar energy or with the supplied USB cable.
The trail camera uses energy from the solar panel first before using energy from the batteries.
NOTE: the solar panel can’t charge Ni-MH batteries installed in the battery compartment.

External power supply
The device can also operate with an external power supply (5V/1A) We recommend removing the AA batteries when an external power supply is used.

Memory card

Using a memory card is required to operate the camera (micro SD card | 256 GB maximum | U1 class 10 minimum). You can purchase micro SD cards at any time at www.numaxes.com. When the camera is in SETUP mode and no memory card is inserted, the LDC screen displays “No card”.

Formatting the memory card in the trail camera before using it for the first time is strongly recommended, especially when the card has been used in other devices. A memory card formatted in another device may not be compatible. Before inserting or removing the memory card, the camera must be turned off (switch in the OFF position). Failing to do so may cause loss of or damage the files already recorded on the memory card. When the memory card is full, the LCD screen indicates “Memory full”.

–   Photo + Video : upon the same trigger event, the camera shoots photo(s) first then a video based on the configured “Photo resolution”, “Multi- shot”, “Video resolution” and “Video length” settings.

PIR interval| Default PIR interval: 20 seconds

Programmable from 5 seconds (00:05) to 59 minutes 59 seconds (59:59)

Press “OK” to set the time interval that you desire between photos/videos upon motion detection by the PIR sensor. This option avoids camera taking to many photos or videos.

Example : if the PIR interval is set to 01:00, the camera will wait 1 minute between photo/video recordings with motion detection.

---|---
PIR sensor sensitivity| High | Medium | Low High sensitivity:

1)  is more sensitive to movements by smaller subjects;

2)  offers longer detection distance;

3)  makes it easier for the PIR sensor to detect a difference between body heat and outdoor temperature;

4)  makes it easier to trigger the camera.

In high temperature environment, subjects body heat and environment temperature are hard to tell by the camera, the suggested setting is high.

It is recommended to use low PIR sensitivity in environments with lots of interference like hot wind, smoke, near window, etc.

Time Lapse| OFF | ON

With Time Lapse ON, the camera will capture photos and/or videos automatically at a pre-set time interval.

WARNING : when the Time Lapse parameter is set to ON, the PIR sensor is deactivated (there is no motion detection).

Select “ON” then press the OK button to set the time interval. The camera will shoot photos and/or videos automatically upon this set interval.

The Time Lapse parameter is programmable from 5 seconds (00:00:05) to 23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds (23:59:59).

Example : if Time Lapse is set to 00:30:00, the camera will automatically capture photos/videos every 30 minutes.

The “Time Lapse” feature can work together with the “Operating periods” feature.

Cycle recording| OFF | ON

When the memory card will be full, the camera will continue to record photos/videos by deleting the oldest photos/videos.

Select “OFF” then press the OK button to deactivate the cycle recording function.

IR LED brightness| Auto | Medium | Low | OFF

Troubleshooting

The photos do not capture the subject of interest

• Check the PIR sensitivity parameter setting. For warm environmental conditions, set the sensor sensitivity to “High” and for cold weather use, set the sensor sensitivity to “Low”.
• Try to set your camera up in an area where no heat sources are in the camera’s field of view.
• In some cases, setting the camera near water will make it take images with no subject in them. Try aiming the camera over the ground.
• Avoid setting the camera up on small trees that are prone to being moved by strong winds. Try to set the camera on stable and immovable objects, i.e. large trees.
• Remove any limbs which are right in front of the camera lens.
• At night, the PIR sensor may detect beyond the range of the infrared flash. Reduce the detection distance by adjusting the PIR sensor sensitivity.
• Rising sun or sunset can trigger the PIR sensor. The camera must be reoriented.
• If a subject moves quickly, it may move out of the camera’s field of view before the photo has been taken. Move the camera further back or redirect it.

The camera stops taking images/videos or won’t take images/videos

• Please make sure that the memory card is not full. If the memory card is full, the camera will stop taking photos/videos. To avoid such problem, check that the cycle recording function in activated (ON).
• Check the batteries and solar panel to make sure that there is enough power left for the camera to work.
• Make sure that the camera power switch is in the “ON” position and not in the “OFF” or “SETUP” position.
• Please format the memory card with the camera before using it or when the camera stops taking images/videos.

The night vision flash range doesn’t meet expectations

• Please check to make sure the batteries and/or solar panel are fully charged or have enough power left.
• To ensure accuracy and quality of the night time images, please mount the camera in a dark environment without any obvious light sources.
• Certain surroundings (like trees, walls, ground, etc.) within flash range can get you better night time images. Please do not aim the camera to total open field where there is nothing within the IR flash range to reflect the flash back.

The smartphone cannot connect to Wi-Fi

• Check that the Wi-Fi password is correct (default Wi-Fi password: 12345678).

Bluetooth cannot activate the Wi-Fi access point (hotspot)

• Check in the camera menu that the Bluetooth parameter is set to ON.
