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 m. 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:

1. Loading Batteries

2. After opening the battery compartment cover, you’ll notice that the camera features eight battery slots (Figure 6). To ensure the camera operates correctly, it’s essential to insert all eight batteries with the correct polarity, ensuring the negative or “flat” end aligns with the long spring in each battery slot.

3. The camera is compatible with 1.5V AA Alkaline or Lithium or batteries. We highly recommend using 1.5V Alkaline AA bat­teries, specifically the Energizer brand, for optimal battery life. While NiMH rechargeable batteries can also be used, please note that their efficiency decreases over time and in colder temperatures, which may result in a shorter battery lifespan. Additionally, they are not suitable for night video recording.

4. During SETUP mode, when the battery power level becomes low, you will see the message “Low Battery” displayed on the screen. At this point, it’s important to replace the batteries.

5. Please keep in mind that when the battery charge drops to 1/3, the Night Vision function will automatically deactivate. You can monitor the remaining power in the bottom right corner of the screen. It’s worth noting that the camera consumes more power during nighttime operation due to its built-in IR LEDs. To maximize battery life during night use, we recommend using 1.5V AA alkaline batteries, particularly 8 Energizer   brand batteries, as they offer a battery life two to three times  longer than regular batteries.

6. 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 mode. The camera uses a regular memory card to save photos (in . jpg format) and/or videos (in .mp4I format). SD cards up to a maximum128GB capacity is supported (Figure 7).
   The following describes how to insert and remove the SD card:

7. 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 m. been used in other devices.

8. 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’ve prepared your camera with the correct installa­tion of batteries and an SD card, you can simply take it out-  doors and secure it to a tree (or based on your specific application scenario). Switch it ON and leave it to capture potential great photos that match your expectations. However, we strongly recommend that you initially invest some time indoors with this manual (Alternatively, you can subscribe to our You­Tube channel @KJKcam , where we regularly upload instruc­tional videos to assist you in using our products) along with your camera. This will help you familiarize yourself with the functions of those control keys.
• At the very least, you may want to set the date and time so that the camera can imprint them (or not, as it’s your choice) on your photos as they are taken. You can also learn how to configure the camera to shoot video clips instead of still photos if that’s your preference. Additionally, reading some tips on how to mount it securely on a tree can be beneficial.

THE OFF, ON, AND SETUP MODES

• The camera has three basic operational modes:
  • OFF mode: Power switch in the OFF position.
  • SETUP mode: Power switch in the SETUP position (screen is on).
  • ON mode: Power switch in the ON position.
• App & WiFi Connection:
  You can use the APP(TrailCam Go) to connect the camera when the camera is operating in the ON mode .

1. 0FF 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.

2. SETUP Mode

3. In SETUP mode, you can easily review and adjust your cam­era’s settings using the built-in screen. To access these set­tings, simply press the MODE key twice to bring up the menu.

4. Within this menu, you have the ability to modify various parameters such as photo or video resolution, the time inter­val between photos, enabling or disabling time imprinting, and more (for further details, refer to Section 9 ADVANCED SET­TINGS).

5. When you shift the power switch to the SETUP position, the screen will activate, displaying essential information like the available image capacity, battery level, camera or video mode, and more.

6. Please take note: In SETUP mode, if there is no activity (key pressing) within 2 minutes, the camera will automatically turn off the screen to conserve power.

7. In SETUP mode, you can also connect the camera to a com­puter’s USB port to download your images.

8. 0NMode

9. Anytime after the batteries and SD card have been inserted, you can switch on the camera. When the power switch is  moved to the topmost position, the camera will enter into the ON (Surveillance) mode. The camera will countdown 15-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).

10. 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.

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 65ft (20m) and no closer than 1 O’ (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 18). 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 . 

SENS/NG 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 “Motion Test” in the Menu. The camera will countdown a max 10-second delay and be ready to capture motions.
• (Note: The delay time may be less than 10 seconds, depend­ing on the actual time of the motion sensor to be activated. The delay time is 10 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 for Center PIR or Green for Side PIR) blinks, it signifies that the position is detectable. 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.

SW/TCH/NG 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 DSCF0001.JPG and videos like DSCF0001.MP4. The MP4 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 fifers 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 1111 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

1. Q1: In POWER-ON mode, the camera screen turns off after 10 seconds. Will it not turn on afterwards?
   A: After setting up, please switch the camera to the ON posi­tion. After 10 seconds, the camera screen turns off, indicating it’s in the working state. It will continue recording based on your settings.
