Step 3: Return to the “Settings” menu, choose “Photo and Video,” and access the three working modes (Photo-Only, Video-Only, Photo and Video Combined). Select the desired mode accordingly.

1. Selecting Photo Mode

Remark: In the settings, you can choose how often the camera detects motion, anywhere from 5 seconds to 1 hour. For example, with a 30-second interval, after taking a photo or recording a video, the camera waits for 30 seconds. To capture another photo or video, there needs to be movement by a person, warm object, or animal within the specified distance during this 30-second waiting period. It’s important to note that if there is no movement within the first 30 seconds, the camera won’t trigger. This logic applies according to the chosen interval duration..
