QUICK START GUIDE

Please refer to the instructions below for a quick start of your 4K
We hope you can know the mode below before trying to use 4K.

Power switch mode

• “OFF”: Power off, 4K won’t do any things.
• “TEST”: This mode is usually used to set up the camera and perform some function tests (LCD screen is bright). 4K will not shoot automatically in test mode. Instead, you can do the shoot test manually. The icon in the top left corner of the LCD screen indicates the current work mode and the number to the right of the icon indicates the current camera pixel parameter. The number in the top right corner of the screen indicates the length of recordable or number of photos that can be taken. This figure is the camera’s estimate of the remaining capacity of the memory card.
• “ON”: 4K will flash blue light and countdown 15 seconds when you switch to this mode. It means that 4K is being prepared and will start work soon. 4K will turn off the blue light and screen when the countdown is over. It indicates that the camera has started working.

   We recommend using VLC or Irfanview player.
   (Please abide by local laws and regulations, download genuine software)

2. Q: Why my photos appear with strange color blocks or lines?
   A: This could be a problem with the memory card.
   Try formatting the memory card or replacing it and test again.

6. Q: Why does 4K has a white screen and cannot enter the system.
   A: Please replace the battery, the current batteries are just about dead.

7. Q: Why does 4K take a photo/video every few second?
   A: Please check if the Time Lapse function is turned on, it will automatically turn off the sensor. Please check “Section” in SETTING FUNCTIONS.

8. Q: 4K does not work at night or does not record at the set length.
   A: If the battery is low (1/3 of a charge), Night Vision function will be turn off automatically. Please replace the battery and then the Night Vision function will be turn on automatically. Current batteries are just about dead.

9. Q: Why 4 batteries can work but have 8 battery slots.
   A: 4K power module is divided into two groups(upper and lower). Max supports to eight. This design makes it easy about some customers with rechargeable batteries to alternate with the four batteries to use 4K.
   (Please buy AA alkaline batteries with excellent brand and good quality, lithium batteries are not supported.)

10. Q: How do I get the camera to work for the specified time.
    A: Please refer to “Section10)-Target Recording Time” in SETTING FUNCTIONS.

11. Q: What kind of memory card should I buy for 4K.
    A: 4K uses SD card. Size: 0.09 x 0.94 x 1.26 inches.
    Type: CLASS 10, Less than 256 GB. Most SD cards below 256GB can be used on the 4K.

12. Q: How to determine whether the camera sensor is working properly.
    A: Please follow the guidance settings in the QUICK START GUIDE chapter to set up 4K. After configuration, switch the power switch to TEST mode.
    About 15 seconds later, please walk in front of the camera.
    If the red light flashes, the camera’s infrared motion sensor is working properly. This method can also help you adjust 4K’s direction and angle, determine whether the current location is within the camera’s monitoring range.

13. Q: How to use OTG
    A: An OTG-enabled external device and an OTG component are required to connect the camera You should first check the interface type on your external device, whether it is micro usb or type-c or lightning, and then look for a USB-to-interface OTG accessory with the corresponding interface on Amazon. If your mobile phone interface is Type-C, you can choose to buy a USB to Type-C OTG component.

14. Q:Why is my camera normal in test mode, but unable to take pictures in on mode?
    A: These cameras are excellent at detecting targets in the horizontal range, but for targets in the vertical range, you need to adjust the height and angle.
    If your height is already determined, I think you should angle the camera sensor and lens toward the target to ensure that the camera accurately captures the movement in the expected range.

15. Q: Why is there fog in my 4K, is it leaking?
    A: Because there is a space inside the camera, the air inside may liquefy when the temperature changes, resulting in water mist. When the temperature returns to normal, the water mist will disappear.

If these Q.A. don’t cover your problems. Please describe the problem in detail and send your order number to our customer service team. We will solve the problem with you as soon as possible. No matter what questions or suggestions you have, you can email us without hesitation.
