ON: The camera is activated to take photos automatically (Live mode). Settings
Prior to using the Wildlife Camera, change the settings as required.Slide the mode switch of the Camera to the SETUP position to start the setup mode. In the Photo or Video mode press the MENU button to call up the menu. All menu options of the Camera and possible setting values for the recording mode are listed below. The standard setting is always highlighted in bold.
Mode : Photo, Video, Photo + Video
Select whether photos or videos should be taken when motion is detected. When in the”Photo + Video” mode, the camera first takes a set number of photos prior to recording a video.

  • PIA Interval: Defaulted 30seconds, optional from 5seconds ~60minutes Select the setup period for the camera to wait before it reacts to the successive triggering of the main sensor after an animal has first been detected. The camera does not record any images or videos during the selected interval. This prevents the memory card from being filled with unnecessary shots.
    Note:

  • The interval time is short, the camera shooting frequency would be high, and there would be high consumption of batteries. It would effect the usage days of the batteries. It is just on the opposite ,the interval time is long, would be a lower consumption of batteries to guarantee a long time usage.

  • PIA Sensitivity: High/ Medium/ Low

  •  Time lapse: Off/On
    When “on” has been selected, the camera would automatically take photos/ videos in the selected time interval, irrespective of whether or not the PIR sensor has detected a motion or not. This is useful for observing cold blooded animals e.g. snakes or plants opening up, etc. As soon as the “On” setting has been confirmed by pressing the OK button, you can enter the interval time after which photos/ videos are to be taken.
    Note:
    In this mode, the PIR function would stop working, and the camera would take photos/ videos in the setting interval time.

  • Loop Recording: On/Off
    If choose On, the camera will delete the earliest pictures or videos after the TF card is full.

  •  IR LED: Auto/ Medium// Low/ Off
    Set the infrared LEDs brightness.

  • Low Battery at Night: No IR Led/ No Shutting

    • No IR Led: The camera takes photos and videos without opening IR LEDs at night when battery is quite low.
    • No Shutting: The camera doesn’t take photos and video at night when the battery is quite low.
  • Monitoring Period: Off/On
    Set timer to “On” if camera should only be active within a certain time. Once “On” has been confirmed with the OK button, the start and end time can be set.
    If the start time is, for instance set to 18:35 hrs and the end time to 8:25 hrs, the camera will be operational from 6:35 pm of the current day until 8:25 am of the following day. The camera will not be triggered and will not take any photos or videos outside of this period.

Aligning the camera
The Test mode is advantageous for determining the best possible detection angle and range of the movement sensor. For this purpose attach the camera at approx. 1-2 m height to a tree and align the camera with a desired direction. Move slowly from one side of the observed area to the other. Move parallel to the camera. Try out different angles and distances.

  • The red LED on the front of the camera indicates that you were detected by a central sensor zone.

NEXCAM T20WF Solar Powered Wildlife Camera 41

In this way you can determine the best position for aligning the camera. The LED only lights up in the SETUP mode as soon as one of the sensors has detected movement. The LEDs do not light up when in Live mode. In order to prevent incorrect signals and unnecessary photos, we recommend not using the camera at sunny points and check that no branches are in the active area of the sensor. Optimum alignment is in North or South direction. The detection range of the sensors is approx 60°. Also check that the camera is set to the correct height in line with the point to be observed. Where necessary, point the camera down for optimum alignment.

Note:

  • Wildlife Camera corresponds to protection class IP 66. The camera is protected against dust and spray water and can thus be used in any weather condition.

Setting up the Live mode
The standard application of the Wildlife Camera is the Live mode. When in this mode, photos are either triggered by movement sensors or at intervals according to the respective setting. To set up the Live mode, switch mode switch to ON position.

The red status LED flashes for approx. 5 seconds after which the camera operates automatically and enters the Standby mode. As soon as wild animals or other objects directly enter the detection area of the central sensor zone, the camera starts to record photos and videos.

Night recording
During night recording the infrared LEDs (IR LEDs) at the front of the Wildlife Camera provide the light required for taking photos. Wildlife Camera uses IR LEDs with a long wavelength, to keep red light to a minimum. The provided number of IR LEDs generates  a high deflection anglethus allowing night recording at a distance of 3 m to 20 m, without overexposing the object. Reflecting objects can, however, also cause overexposure within this range (e.g. road signs). Please note that night recording using IR LEDs produces black and white images.

File format
The Wildlife Camera stores photos and videos on the memory card in the folder ”\DCIM\ MOVIE&PHOTO. Photos are given a file name with extension “JPG”(Example: “IM_00001.JPG”), videos, are given the extension “.MP4” (Example: “VD_00002.MP4”). When in SETUP and OFF mode use the enclosed USB cable to transfer files onto the computer. Alternatively you can insert the memory card in a card reader on the computer. The video file can be played with most standard programs, such as Windows Media Player, QuickTime etc.

Connecting to computer
The Wildlife Camera can be connected to a computer using the supplied USB cables to view existing photos/videos.

 Trouble shooting

Camera won’t POWER UP?

  • Please ensure that the battery is charged.
  •  Press the ‘R’ reset button on the bottom of the camera to restart the camera.

Camera stops taking images or won’t take images?

  • Please make sure that the SD card is not full. If the card is full, the camera will stop taking images.
  •  Make sure that you are using a good quality SD card in your camera. We recommend SanDisk SD Cards up to 32GB. If the SD card has its write protect switch in the lock position, the camera will not take images.
  • If you have used an SD card in another device before inserting it in our camera, you might want to try formatting the card by using our camera. In some cases, other devices may change the formatting of the SD card so that it will not work properly with our camera.
  • Press the “R” reset button at the bottom of the camera to restart the camera system in the condition of SD card and battery are installed correctly.

Camera takes continuous images of no subject?
A camera has what is known as a “false trigger” if the PIR sensor thinks that there is motion and heat in front of the camera lens when there is no subject in the image. These “False Triggers” are the result of placing the camera in an environment where there is motion associated with tree branches creating motion in front of the camera or an area where there is high heat in the foreground and any motion from wind could set off the camera. Setting a camera up over water is also a potential cause for this issue. To remedy this situation:

  • Try moving the camera to an area that does not have any of these issues or try changing the sensor level on the menu settings.
  • If the camera continues to take images when there is no subject in them, try placing the camera in an inside environment and aiming at a location where there is no motion.
  •  If the camera continues to show issues, then there is probably an electronic component issue. If this is the case, please contact our customer service to send the camera back for repair.

Battery life is shorter than expected?

  • The setting you select for “PIR interval” and “Video Length” in the Setup Menu will have a significant impact on battery life. Shorter interval time and long video length setting are all lead to short battery life. We suggest to go with the defaulted setting of Interval time 30SEC or above, and the video length within 10sec.
  • Battery life will vary with operating temperature and the number of images taken over time. Typically, the Camera will be able to capture several hundred images before the batteries die.
  • Make sure that you are using a good quality name brand SD card in your camera. We recommend SanDisk brand SD Cards up to 32GB. Our experience indicates that poor quality SD cards can sometimes reduce your camera battery life.

Still photo and/or video quality problems?

  1. Night photos or videos appear too dark.
    • Check the battery indicator icon to see if battery power is full. The flash will stop operating near the end of the battery life.
    • You will get the best results when the subject is within the ideal flash range, no farther than 15meters from the camera. Subjects may appear too dark at greater distances.
    • Make sure “LED” in the PHOTO menu is set to “Auto” or “High” to ensure maximum output.
  2. Daytime photos or videos appear too dark.
    • Make sure that the camera is not aimed directly at the sun or other light sources during the day, as this may cause the camera’s auto exposure to produce darker results.
  3. Night photos or videos appear too bright.
    •  If the subject is close to the camera (less than10ft/3m), change the LED Control parameter in the Setup Menu to “AUTO” or “LOW”.
  4.  Daytime photos or videos appear too bright.
    • Ake sure that the camera is not aimed near an extremely dark area during the day. The auto exposure may “overcompensate” by lightening the image too much.
  5.  Short video clips-not recording to the length set.
    • Check to make sure that the SD card is not full.
    • Make sure that the camera has good batteries in it. Near the end of the battery life, the camera may choose to record shorter video clips to conserve power.

Photos do not capture subject?

  • Check the “PIR SENSITIVITY” parameter setting (SETUP menu). For warm temperature conditions, set this to “HIGH” and for cold weather use, set the PIR sensitivity to “LOW”. For variable weather, use “MEDIUM”.
  • Try to set your camera up in an area where there is not a heat source in the camera’s line of sight.
  •  In some cases, setting the camera near water will make the camera take images with no subject in them. Try aiming the camera over ground.
  • Try to avoid setting the camera up on small trees that are prone to being moved by strong winds.
  • Remove any limbs which are right in front of the camera lens.

PIR sensor led flashes/doesn’t flash?

  • When the camera is in the “Setup” mode, a special LED on the front of the camera will flash when it senses motion. This is for setup purposes only and will help the user aim the camera.
  • During use, the LED will not visibly flash when the camera takes an image. The LED array uses infrared light to help keep the camera hidden from game.

Display screen comes on but then powers off?

  • The display automatically turns off if no control keys are pressed for 30 seconds, to conserve battery power.
