PIR Interval
After completing a shooting, how long will the infrared detection start again
after the interval? The Camera’s PIR Photography Principle: In the detection
range, if the camera detects a temperature change, the camera will
automatically take photos after the PIR interval, if the camera doesn’t detect
the temperature change, it won’t Take photos.
Note: The PIR interval affects the battery life of the camera. With a short interval, the camera is more likely to capture the target but consumes more power.
PIR Sensitivity
Adjust the sensitivity according to the animal size and the ambient
temperature. For example, set high sensitivity when photographing small
animals ( such as hedgehogs) and adjust the sensitivity to low in cold
weather. The specific adjustment scheme is subject to the actual effect.
Note: PIR sensitivity affects camera battery life. Select high sensitivity, the camera makes it easier to capture the target but consumes more power.
IR LED

Time-lapse
The camera has a time-lapse video function. This is a time· compressed
shooting technique, that is, a frame is shot every certain time and
synthesized into a shorter video file. It is generally used to shoot images
that change slowly, such as the process of flowers blooming. This function can
turn on or off the timing shooting and set the interval time of the time-lapse
video (that is, how long to take a frame at intervals), it can be used
together with 4.6 target recording time. Turn off Monitoring Period and turn
on Time Lapse, the camera will always work and synthesize video files. Turn on
Monitoring Period, and turn on Time Lapse, within the set time period, the
camera will always work and synthesize video files according to the set time.
