Aligning the camera
In SETUP mode you can work out the optimum exposure angle and the range of the motion sensor.

1. During alignment consider whether the use of the side motion sensors may be useful for attaining the desired observation results.

2. Align the camera as follows:
   Fasten the camera to a tree or similar object at a height of 1-2 meters and align the camera in the desired direction. Then move slowly from one side of the target area to the other side. While doing this, monitor the motion display.
   Operating Principle sensors. If it lights up in red, you have been detected by the front motion sensor. In this case, you can work out the best alignment for the camera.

3. The motion display only lights up when operating mode selector switch is in the SETUP position and one of the motion sensors has detected movement. During normal operation, there will be no LED display in this area.

4. To ensure that the camera doesn’t make unwanted recordings of irrelevant movements, it should not be set up in a sunny location or close to branches. The detecting range of the sensors is 110°. And the recording angle of the camera is about 100°.

Normal working mode
In this mode, recordings are triggered via the motion sensors.
To set live mode, slide the operating mode selector switch to the “ON” position. After 15 seconds, the LED of motion display will go off.
Then the camera will start to operate independently and will go into standby mode. As soon as any wild animals or similar object enter the detecting range of the side motion sensors, the camera will be activated and detect the motion. If the wild animal keeps moving to the detecting range of the central sensor zone, the camera will start capturing photos and/or videos (depending on the configuration).
After the wild animal moves out of the detecting range of side motion sensors, the camera turns off and goes back into standby mode.

Night working mode

1. During night exposures the infrared LEDs on the front of the camera provide the required light for taking pictures. The range of the LEDs makes the camera start shooting
2. Please note that pictures taken in night exposures are black and white. When recording a video for a long time, the low voltage may have great influence on the stability of the camera. So in case of the low voltage,
   it better not to record in the evening.
   Note: When using the camera at night, the electric current would increase because of the infrared lamps. If the camera is in low battery mode, it would not shoot photos or film videos at night. Meanwhile once daylight is available, the camera works normally even in low battery.
