A 3-way power switch is used to select the main operating modes: OFF, ON, and
SETUP (Figure 5).
A control key interface with six keys is primarily used in SETUP mode to
select operational functions and parameters. As shown in Figure.5, the keys
can also perform a second function (shortcut operations in SETUP mode) in
addition to their main function.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD
Before you begin learning how to use your camera, you will first need to install a set of batteries and insert an SD card. Although that may only take you a minute, there are some important notes about both batteries and SD cards you should be aware of, so please take the time to read the following directions and cautions:
LOADING BATTERIES
After opening the cover of the battery compartment, you will see that the
camera has four battery slots (Figure 6). A full four batteries must be
installed for the camera to operate. Be sure to insert each battery with
correct polarity (negative or “flat” end against the long spring of each
battery slot). The camera takes 1.5V AA Lithium or Alkaline batteries. We
recommend using 1.5V Lithium AA batteries (Energizer brand) to get maximum
batteries lifetime. NiMH Rechargeable can also be used, but they might have a
shorter life span due to their reduced efficiency over time and at low
temperature, and would not work for night video recording. On SETUP mode when
battery power level gets low, the message “Low Battery” will show on the
screen, please replace the batteries. NOTE: If the battery charge drops to
1/3, the Night Vision function will automatically turn off. You can check the
remaining power in the bottom right corner of the screen. Please be aware that
during nighttime operation, the camera utilizes built-in IR LEDs, resulting in
higher power consumption compared to daytime use. Therefore, it is recommended
using 1.5V AA lithium batteries, specifically 4Energizer brand batteries, as
they last two to three times longer than regular batteries.
INSERTING THE SD CARD
Insert the SD card (with the camera’s power switch in the OFF position) before
beginning to operate the camera. Don’t insert or remove the SD card when the
power switch is in the ON or SETUP position. The camera uses a regular memory
card to save photos (in . jpg format) and/or videos (in .AVI format). SD and
SDHC (High Capacity)/SDXC cards up to a maximum 128GBcapacity is supported
**(Figure 7).+
**
The following describes how to insert and remove the SD card:
- Insert the SD card into the card slot with its label side upwards. A “click” sound indicates that the card is installed successfully. If the wrong side of the card is facing up, you will not be able to insert it without force, there is only one correct way to insert cards. If the SD card is not installed correctly, the device will not display an SD card icon on the screen in SETUP mode. Formatting Memory card by using the camera’s “Format” parameter in the menu settings before using it for the first time is recommended, especially when a card has been used in other devices.
- To take out the SD card, just gently push in the card (do not try to pull it out without pushing in first). The card is released from the slot and ready to be removed when you hear the click. Be sure the camera’s power is switched OFF before inserting or removing SD cards or batteries.
USING THE CAMERA
Once you have prepared your camera by properly installing batteries and an SD
card, you can simply take it outside, strap it to a tree (or not, depending on
your application scenario), switch it on, and leave. This way, you may capture
some great photos that precisely match your expectations. However, we highly
recommend spending some additional time indoors with this manual and your
camera to familiarize yourself with the functions of the 3-way switch and
control keys. Understanding these features will enhance your camera usage.
At the very least, we suggest setting the date and time so that they can be
imprinted (or not, as per your preference) on your photos as they are taken.
It would also be beneficial to learn how to switch the camera to shoot video
clips instead of still photos, if desired. Additionally, reading some tips on
how to mount the camera on a tree can provide valuable insights.

THE OFF, ON, AND SETUP MODES
The camera has three basic operational modes:
- OFF mode: Power switch in the OFF position.
- ON mode: Power switch in the ON position.
- SETUP mode: Power switch in the SETUP position (screen is on).
OFF MODE
The OFF mode is the “safe” mode when any actions must be taken, e.g.,
replacing the SD card or batteries, or transporting the device. And of course,
when you are storing or not using the camera, you will switch it to OFF.
Please note that in the OFF mode the camera consumes little power. It’s a good
idea to take the batteries out of the battery compartment if the camera will
not be used for a long time.
ON MODE
Anytime after the batteries and SD card have been inserted, you can switch on
the camera. When the power switch is moved to the middle position, the camera
will enter into the ON (Surveillance) mode. The camera will countdown 5-second
delay and then be ready to capture images.Once in the ON mode, no manual
controls are needed or possible (the control keys have no effect). The camera
will take photos or videos automatically (according to its current parameter
settings). You can either move the power switch directly from OFF to ON mode,
or stop at the SETUP position first to change one or more settings, then move
the switch to ON after you have finished doing so.
SETUP MODE
In the SETUP mode you can check and change the settings of the camera with the
help of its built-in screen. These settings, found in the menu by pressing
MENU key, let you change the photo or video resolution, interval between
photos, switch the time imprint on, etc. (See more in Section 8 ADVANCED
SETTINGS). Moving the power switch to the SETUP position will turn on the
screen display, and you will see an information screen that shows how many
images can be taken, the battery level, camera or video mode, etc.
Attention please: In SETUP mode, the camera will automatically Turn off
the screen if there is no operation (key pressing) within 2 minutes. In the
SETUP mode, you can connect the camera to a computer’s USB port to download
your images.
Shortcut Keys/Functions
As mentioned earlier in “Parts & Controls”, the keypads have secondary,
“shortcut” functions when the camera is switched to SETUP mode:
- Press the OK key to quickly set the camera to shoot video clips.
- Press the UP/Down key to quickly set the camera to take still photos.
- Press the SHOT key to manually trigger the shutter. This is useful for testing the camera.
- Switch it to the SETUP which is the middle, and press the PLAY button to play back photos and videos, not in the off or on. Press the DOWN or UP button to move through the photos. Finally press the OK key to exit the playback.
ADVANCED SETTINGS
The trail camera comes with preset manufacturer settings. You can change the settings to meet your requirements. Please make sure that the camera is in the SETUP mode. Once the camera screen is on, press MENU key to enter/exit the menu. Press the UP/DOWN key to change the setting, and press the OK key to confirm the change. Always remember to press the OK to save the change. Otherwise you will lose your new setting

Shot lag| 1 minutes, optional from 5s to 60m| Select the shortest length of
time that the camera will wait until it responds to any subsequent triggers
from the PIR sensor after a game is first detected.During the selected
interval, the camera will not take pictures/videos. This prevents the SD card
from filling up with too many redundant images. Note: this option is invalid
if Mode is setas “Time Lapse”
Sensitivitymotion sensors| HighMiddleLow| The”High” level will make the
cameramore sensitive to infrared (heat) and more easily triggered by motion,
the “Low” level makes it less sensitive to heat and motion. The”Middle” is for
average or moderate conditions.Commonly, the”High” level is suitable when the
ambient temperature is warm and little interference (interfer-ence such as
windy), and the “Low” level is helpful in cold weather.Note: this option is
invalid if Mode is setas “Time Lapse”
Timelapse| OnOff optional from 1s to 24h| When the “Time Lapse” feature is
enabled, the camera will automatically take photos/videos according to the set
interval (1 Min ~ 24 Hours can be set) regardless of whether the motion sensor
has detected any game.For example, after setting the interval time to 1H, and
the camera will take a photo or record a video every hour (confirm whether to
take a photo or record video based on your work mode), the camera will take 24
photos within 24H.This is helpful when observingcold-blooded animals like
snakes, or the process of flowering etc.Note: Too small interval set in the
Time Lapse Settings will enable to take more pictures, but can consume more
battery power then reduce battery life accordinglyNote: this mode will disable
motiondetection.

MOUNTING AND POSITIONING THE CAMERA
MOUNTING
After you’ve set up the camera’s parameters to your personal preferences at
home, you’re ready to take it outside and slide the power switch to “ON”. When
setting up the camera for scouting game or other outdoor applications, you
must be sure to mount it in place correctly and securely. We recommend
mounting the camera on a sturdy tree with a diameter of about 6 in. ( 15cm).
To get the optimal picture quality, the tree should be about 16- 17 ft. (5
meters) away from the place to be monitored, with the camera placed at a
height of 2.5-3.5 ft. (0.75- 1m). Also, keep in mind that you will get the
best results at night when the subject is within the ideal flash range, no
farther than 65′ (20m) and no closer than 10′ (3m) from the camera.
There are two ways to mount the camera: using the provided adjustable web belt, or the tripod socket.
Using the adjustable strap: illustrates using the strap on the camera. Push
one end of the strap through the two brackets on the back of the camera.
Thread the end of the strap through the buckle. Fasten the strap securely
around the tree trunk by pulling the end of the strap firmly so there is no
slack left (Figure 8). Note: it is not possible to use a cable lock (in the
upper part of the bracket) and the strap at the same time.
Using the tripod socket : The camera is equipped with a socket at the bottom
end to enable to mount on a tripod or other mounting accessories with a
standard UNC 1/4-20 thread screw.
SENSING ANGLE AND DISTANCE TEST
To test whether the camera can effectively monitor the area you choose, this
test is recommended checking the sensing angle and monitoring distance of the
camera. To perform the test:
Switch the camera to the SETUP mode.
Select “Photo & Video” in the Menu. The camera will countdown a max 30-second
delay and be ready to capture motions.
(Note: The delay time may be less than 30 seconds, depending on the
actual time of the motion sensor to be activated. The delay time is 30 seconds
minus the power-on time.) Close the camera door. Make movements in front of
the camera at several positions within the area where you expect the game or
subjects to be. Try different distances and angles from the camera. If the
motion indicator LED light (Blue light) blinks, it indicates that position can
be sensed. If it does not blink, that position is outside of the sensing area.
In these sensing test, the camera would take pictures once motion captured.
When you open the camera, the screen shows the number of times triggered, you
can review the pictures on the screen. The results of your testing will help
you find the best placement when mounting and aiming the camera. The height
away from the ground for placing the device should vary with the animal size
appropriately. In general, 3 to 6 feet is preferred. You can avoid potential
false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances in front of the
camera by not aiming it at a heat source or nearby tree branches or brush
(especially on windy days). Do NOT install the camera behind the glass window
as that is not possible to sense any motion. Avoid the camera toward to glass
the object.
SWITCHING ON THE CAMERA
If you set the camera working mode as “Time Lapse” in the menu, once you
switch to the ON mode, the camera will be ready to go into “Time Lapse” mode,
then take images periodically according to your preset “Time lapse Interval”
parameter .
Before leaving the camera unattended, please check for the following:
Are the batteries inserted with correct polarity and is their power level
sufficient?
Does the SD card have sufficient available space?
Is the power switch in the ON position?
REVIEW PHOTOS OR VIDEOS
After you have setup, mounted and activated your CAMERA, you will be eager to return later and review the images it has captured for you. The camera stores photos and videos in the folder \DCIM in the SD card. Photos are saved with file names like 0001.JPG and videos like 0001.AVI. The AVI video files can be played back on most popular media players, such as Windows Media Player, VLC etc. There are several different ways this can be done. You can directly review the photos or videos on the camera screen. Or in the SETUP mode only, you can use the provided USB cable to download the files to a computer. Or you can put the SD card to a SD card “reader” (user supplied), plug in a computer, and browse the files on the computer without downloading.

FAQS
IMPORTANT NOTE
- Before inserting or removing the memory card, make sure the camera is turned off.
- When checking the camera in SETUP mode, the ambient light source may be unstable due to handheld movement. This can trigger the motion sensor, resulting in a clicking sound and a flashing screen. This is normal.
- It is recommended to use high-performance alkaline batteries to extend the camera’s usage time.
- Avoid using 1.2V rechargeable batteries as the trail camera requires 1.5V for proper functioning. Low battery voltage can lead to improper operation. After the battery is depleted, the camera will only have a few hours of operation remaining (the camera will display a low battery warning).
- When using the trail camera for the first time or if the camera cannot recognize the memory card, please format the memory card before use. Before installing the battery, confirm the correct battery polarity. Incorrect polarity may cause the camera to short-circuit and potentially damage it. Please note that the camera is not protected against short circuits.
- When using the product for the first time, remove the protective film from the lens and sensor to ensure the motion sensor is clean and undamaged. Any scratches or damage can affect the camera’s triggering performance.
- For on-site installation, ensure that the camera’s socket and the DC plug at the bottom are properly sealed to prevent damage from rain. The USB cable provided is for transferring files from the camera to the computer only. Do not use it to charge the camera or rechargeable batteries as this can severely damage the camera.
- Keep the camera lens and infrared window clean. If they become dirty, clean them with a soft glasses cloth. Do not use sharp objects that may scratch the LCD, camera lens, infrared sensor, or LED glass.
- When the battery level is low, promptly replace all batteries to avoid damage to the camera due to electrolyte leakage.
FAQs
Q(1) In POWER-ON mode, the camera screen will turn off after 5 seconds.
Will it not turn on afterwards?
A: After setting up, please turn the switch to the ON position. After 5 seconds, the camera screen will turn off, indicating that it has entered the working state. It will continue to record according to your settings.
Q(2) Off-road cameras are very useful during the day, but cannot capture
anything at night?
A: When the battery power is only 1/3, the camera may not be able to capture images at night. The camera requires a higher power output during nighttime due to the activation of built-in infrared LEDs for night vision. To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended using 1.5V AA lithium batteries (Energizer brand) as they last two to three times longer than regular batteries.
Q(3) When I walk up to the camera, the blue light flashes, but the camera
does not record anything?
A: For automatic detection and recording, make sure the camera switch is in the ON position. If the blue light flashes when motion is detected, it indicates that the camera is still in SETUP mode.

properly?
A: Follow the instructions in the QUICKSTART GUIDE to set up the camera. After configuration, turn the power switch to SETUP mode. After approximately 15 seconds, walk in front of the camera. If the blue light flashes, it indicates that the camera's infrared motion sensor is working properly. This method can also help you adjust the camera's direction, angle, and determine whether the current position is within the monitoring range.
Q(9) Why is my camera working normally in SETUP mode but unable to take
photos in POWER-ON mode?
A: If the camera is functioning properly in SETUP mode but doesn't capture photos in POWER-ON mode, it could be due to the camera's position or settings. These cameras are optimized for detecting targets in the horizontal range, so you may need to adjust the height and sensitivity settings. Ensure that the camera is positioned correctly and that the sensor and lens are oriented towards the target area to capture motion accurately within the expected range.
Q(10) Why is there air in the trail camera? Is it a leak?
A: The presence of air in the trail camera is not a sign of a leak. Inside the camera, there is a space that can contain air. When the temperature changes, the air inside may liquefy, resulting in water mist. However, when the temperature returns to normal, the water mist will disappear naturally.
Q(11) The camera does not take photos?
Q(12) The camera cannot take photos properly?
A: If the camera is not capturing photos correctly, consider the following a. PIR protective film: Check if the PIR protective film is removed from the camera's sensor. If the film is still attached, remove it to allow proper motion detection. b. Installation position: Verify that the camera is installed within an effective range. Adjust the position if necessary to ensure it covers the desired area for motion detection
Q(13) The camera cannot be turned on normally?
Q(14) There are no images on the memory card?
A: If you are not finding any images on the memory card, try the following steps: a. Replace the memory card: If the current memory card is not functioning correctly, try using a different one to see if it resolves the issue. b. Format the memory card: Format the memory card using the camera's formatting function to ensure it is properly recognized and compatible with the camera. c. Check recording functionality: Before using the camera, test its recording functionality with the newly formatted memory card to verify if it can successfully capture and store images.
