Turn on
Slide the switch from the OFF position to the TEST position to put the device into setup mode, where the camera image preview will be displayed on the screen.

1.1. Language settings
Press the “MENU” button to switch to English as the base language and all menu items are in this language, to select another language, scroll down the menu to the  “Language” item and confirm with the “OK ” button and select your preferred language in the menu.

1.2. To move around the device menu
Press the MENU button to set up the device. When you press the button, you will see the individual setting items described in Chapter 4. You can scroll through the menu  using the up and down arrows, confirm the selection with the “OK” button, return to the previous menu with the “MENU” button

1.3. Start-up/Activation
Once you have completed the setup, you can put the camera into an active state where it will take Photos/Videos based on the motion detection, according to the settings you  have specified. To activate the camera, slide the switch from “TEST” to “ON”, the display will start counting down and at the same time the red LED on the front panel  will flash. Once the countdown runs out the device is active. If motion is detected by a “PIR” sensor, the camera will record. An SD card must be installed in the camera, otherwise the camera will not work see chapter 1.5

1.4 Power supply
Strong Vision PRO A needs 10x AA 1.5V alkaline batteries or Lithium batteries with 1.5V voltage for its operation. You can also purchase an 8000mAh Li-Ion battery for the  device, which will extend the battery life and allow for more economical operation. Li-Ion batteries can be found at www.evolveo.com under the code SGV CAM-BAT3.  The batteries are placed in the battery case, which is secured with two locks. To release, the locks must be moved to the “UNLOCK” position

► The batteries must be inserted exactly as indicated in the battery compartment, if you turn the battery over, the device will not work and you may damage it.
► Always use AA batteries of the same type and manufacturer, and the batteries must always have the same charge. If you use different types of batteries, the device may be  damaged. Such damage is not covered by the statutory warranty.
► If you know that you will not be using the device for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the device. Leaving them in the device may cause damage to  the device that is not covered by the warranty.
► Due to the large number of modes and settings, the battery life of an active device cannot be specified exactly. Night mode or video recording have high power  consumption requirements and significantly reduce battery life. We can only recommend the use of high quality Alkaline or Lithium rechargeable batteries for longer battery life.
Warning: Insert batteries into the device when it is switched off
1.5 Memory card
The camera supports SD memory cards up to 256GB.
Before inserting or removing a memory card, the device must be switched off by moving the switch to the “OFF” position.
If you handle the card while it is switched on, the data on the card may be corrupted.
► The camera does not have any built-in memory, you must insert a memory card into the device to use it. For proper operation, it is a good idea to format the memory card to FAT32 format before use.
► A maximum of 256GB memory card can be used, 256GB cards and larger will not be recognized by the device.
► For the card to function properly, avoid contact with moisture. Ensure that the device is not exposed to vibration or that the cards are exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
► The camera supports cyclic overwriting, in which case the camera will start overwriting the oldest files when the SD card memory is full.
► Insert the SD card carefully into the slot, pushing it gently until the card slot mechanism clicks.
► To remove the SD card, press the edge of the card until it slides out of the camera body. After that, you can safely remove it – the camera must always be in the OFF position.

Technical specifications

*If there are no other objects in the area in front of the camera from which the IR light can reflect, night images may be dark. Ideally, the area in front of the camera should  contain objects from which the IR light will reflect, such as rocks, bushes, logs, etc. Ideal range is between 8-12 m from the camera

2.1. Photo

optional name
Recording modes| Photography, Photography  & Video, Time-lapse
File format| .JPEG
Activation speed| 0,8 s *
Delay interval| The amount of time the device is inactive after the last motion- based start. Instantly, the range is 5-59s and 1-60minutes

*The PIR sensor detects movement based on changes in surface temperatures. This figure is in an ideal environment, when the object in front of the camera has a sufficient surface temperature difference, and crosses perpendicularly the scanned area (passes from side to side) If the object will approach the camera frontally, it will take longer to recognize the motion.

2.2. Video

2.3. Power

using a cable

2.4. Connectivity

*Battery life decreases depending on the mode used, number of videos and photos taken, 3- 4 months of battery life is calculated using only photo recording in day mode and  10 photos per day. In the winter months with temperatures below 0°C, battery life drops significantly more than in normal summer temperatures, this is a characteristic of batteries.

Troubleshooting

7.1 The camera does not record photos/videos when moving

1. Check the PIR sensor to see if it is damaged or blocked, for example by a leaf.
2.  Test the camera in places where there are no hot spots. The PIR sensor detects motion based on temperature difference, if the camera environment is overheated, the sensor is not activated.
3. In some cases, the water level may cause the PIR sensor to activate unintentionally, in which case turn the camera away from the water level.
4. Set the camera so that it is not pointing directly at the ground.
5. Position the camera so that it does not move and large moving objects, such as a large tree, are not in the frame.
6. At night, the device can detect movement outside the range of the IR night light, so no moving object will be detected in the photos.
7. Sunset or sunrise may cause the recording to start unintentionally – change the camera position.
8. If the animal/person in front of the camera is moving quickly, the camera may not record them – move the camera further away from the objects (e.g. further away from  the path where the animals are moving)

7.2 The camera does not produce any images

1. Make sure there is enough free space on the inserted SD card. If the old file overwrite function is disabled, the device no longer records after the SD card is full.
2. Check that the battery has enough power to operate the photo trap.
3. Make sure the switch is in the ON position and not OFF.
4. Before using the card for the first time, format the card on your computer to FAT32 format

7.3 Night light does not have sufficient range

1. Make sure the battery in the device is charged, if the capacity is below 15%, the night light may not activate
2. For good quality night shots, place the camera in a dark environment with no other light sources.
3. Try to use the camera in locations where it will be surrounded by other objects that can reflect IR light. If you place the camera in an open area, the resulting photo will not  be sufficiently illuminated.
   It’s the same as shining a flashlight on the night sky, you won’t see anything either, even if the flashlight is very powerful.
