Presentation of the product

Power supply

Batteries
The camera runs on 12 AA size batteries. The product can work with alkaline, lithium or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
You can purchase alkaline or Ni-MH AA batteries at any time on www.numaxes.com.

Before inserting or removing the batteries, the camera must be turned off (switch in the OFF position).
When inserting the batteries, make sure to follow polarities indicated inside the battery compartment. Upside down batteries may cause device malfunction.
Please select the battery type you’re using in the menu option “Battery type” to reach longer operation time.

WARNING: Don’t mix battery types! This may cause permanent damage not covered by the guarantee.
Remove the batteries from the camera if you are not using it for 3 months or more. The batteries could leak and damage your product.

Solar panel
This camera is able to work with a solar panel with build-in lithium battery (12V/2A).
You can purchase a 12V solar panel at any time on www.numaxes.com.

NOTE: the solar panel cannot charge Ni-MH batteries inserted in the battery compartment of the device as these batteries require a higher voltage to recharge.

External power supply
This camera can also be powered by an external DC adapter (12V/2A).
You can purchase a 12V external DC adapter at any time on www.numaxes.com.
We recommend removing the batteries when a power adapter is used.

Installing the memory card
Using a memory card is required to operate the camera (SD card from 8GB up to 32GB maximum – class 10 minimum).
You can purchase micro-SD cards with adapter at any time at www.numaxes.com.

Before inserting or removing the memory card, the camera must be turned off (switch in the OFF position). Failing to do so may cause loss of or damage the files already recorded on the card.
Formatting the memory card in the trail camera before using it for the first time is strongly recommended, especially when the card has been used in other devices. A memory card formatted in another device may not be compatible.

SIM card
The SIM card is already fitted in the product when you purchase it.
Before inserting or removing the SIM card, the camera must be turned off (switch in the OFF position).

Getting started

• Install the batteries.
• Install the memory card.
• Install the free App on your smartphone: On Google Play or the App Store, search for PIE Cloud App. Download and install the App on your smartphone.
• Add your camera in the PIE Cloud App :

You can add a camera by scanning a QR code or with NFC technology.

Operation

Turn ON the camera
Put the switch in the ON position; the camera is ready to work.
The camera status LED located on the front will blink and count down 5 seconds. This interval allows you time to close the camera front cover and leave the monitored area.
Once in the ON mode, the camera will take photos and/or videos according to its current parameter settings.

NOTE: the camera comes pre-programmed with factory default settings. So, for test purpose, you only need to insert the memory card and AA batteries then power on the camera (switch in the ON position).

Turn OFF the camera
Slide the switch to the OFF position to turn off the camera. Please note that even in OFF mode, the camera still consumes power at a very low level. Therefore, please remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for a long time period.
The OFF mode is the “safe mode” for actions such as: replacing the memory card or batteries, or transporting the camera.

How to customize the camera settings
Once your camera is added, you can customize the settings.

Parameters

| Available settings (default setting in bold characters)
---|---
Camera mode| Photo | Video | Photo + Video

‒ Photo : the camera will only shoot photos.

‒ Video : the camera will only shoot videos.

‒ Photo + Video : upon the same trigger event, the camera will shoot photo(s) first then a video.

Photo resolution| 12 MP | 8 MP | 5 MP

Higher resolution produces better quality photos but creates larger files that take up more of the memory card capacity (fills up faster).

Remote control| Real time | Delay 0.5H | Delay 1H | Delay 2H | Delay 3H | Delay 4H | Delay 6H | Delay 12H | Delay 24H

‒ Real time ( this option will consume huge battery power ): the camera 4G module is in stand-by all the time; so, the camera setups can be changed and saved whenever you send the remote setup commands.

‒ Delay ( option suggested for AA battery power ): the camera will only be able to change and save the setups remotely every day with a delay of ½ hour, 1 jour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours or 24 hours depending on the selected setting. The longer the delay, the lower the energy consumption.

Multi-shot| 1P | 2P | 3P

Programmable from 1 up to 3 photos per trigger

PIR sensor detection sensitivity| High | Medium | Low

With the PIR sensitivity set to High, the PIR sensor:

‒ is more sensitive to movements by smaller subjects;

‒ offers longer detection distance;

‒ can more easily detect a difference between body heat and outdoor temperature;

‒ can more easily trigger the camera.

| In high temperature environment, subjects body heat and environment temperature are hard to tell by the camera, the suggested setting is high.

However, it is recommended to use low PIR sensitivity in environments with lots of interference like hot wind, smoke, near window, etc. This will prevent untimely triggering.

---|---
IR flash power| High | Low

This parameter allows you to adjust the brightness of the infrared flash.

Time Lapse| ON | OFF

With Time Lapse set to ON, the camera will capture photos or videos automatically at a pre-set time interval regardless of whether motions are detected or not.

WARNING : when the Time Lapse parameter is set to ON, the PIR sensor is deactivated (there is no motion detection).

Select ON to set the Time Lapse; the camera will shoot photos or video clips automatically upon the set interval.

Configurable Time Lapse: from 00:00:05 to 23:59:59

Example : if Time Lapse is set to 00:30:00, the camera will automatically capture photos/videos every 30 minutes.

PIR interval| ON – default: 20 seconds | OFF

Select ON to set the time interval that you desire between photos/videos upon motion. This option avoids camera taking to many photos or videos.

Configurable PIR Interval: from 00:00:05 to 23:59:59

Example : if the PIR interval is 00:01:00, the camera will wait 1 minute between photo/video recordings with motion.

Timer 1

Timer 2

| ON | OFF

ON | OFF

Each day, the device can operate 24 hours a day (parameters set to OFF) or only during the time slot(s) defined by the user.

Select ON to set the start time and end time of the desired working period.

Example : If Timer 1 is set to 15:00-18:00 and Timer 2 is et to 20:00-22:00; each day, the camera will work only between 15h00 (03:00 PM) and 18h00 (06:00 PM) then between 20h00 (08:00 PM) and 22h00 (10:00 PM).

---|---
Sendings/day| Unlimited | 1 – 99

Example : if you select 50, every day, the camera will only send the 50 first photos taken to the cloud storage. The rest of the photos taken that day will not be sent but will be stored in the memory card.

Date format| MM/DD/YYYY | DD/MM/YYYY
Battery type| Alkaline | Ni-MH | Lithium

The device will perform better and have better battery life if you select the type of the batteries used in the camera.

GPS| ON | OFF

With GPS ON, the GPS information will be shown on photo stamp.

NOTE : if the GPS signal is weak around the product, the GPS information will not be shown on the photo stamp until the signal gets stronger.

GPS alert| ON | OFF

With the GPS Alert setting set to ON, if the camera leaves a circle with a diameter of 1 km around the GPS position recorded at startup, you are alerted by a notification.

Cycle recording on memory card| ON | OFF

When the memory card will be full, the camera will continue to record photos/videos by deleting the oldest photos/video.

Select OFF to deactivate the cycle recording function.

Setting up the camera

• Mount the camera facing north or south, not east or west as the rising and setting of the sun could produce false triggers and overexposed images.
• If you’re covering a trail, face the camera down or up the trail.
• Clear out any brush or weeds in front of the camera. These can cause false triggers due to temperature and motions disturbances in front of the camera (especially in windy days).
• Check the power level of the batteries (AA and solar panel) before setting up the device.
• Make sure the memory card is properly inserted and have sufficient available space.
• Verify time and date are correct.
• Make sure to turn the camera ON (switch in the ON position).

Troubleshooting

The photos do not capture subject of interest

• Check the PIR sensitivity parameter setting. In warm environmental conditions, set the sensor sensitivity to “High” and in cold weather use, set the sensor sensitivity to “Low”.
• Try to set your camera up in an area where no heat sources are in the camera’s field of view.
• In some cases, setting the camera near water will make it take images with no subject in them. Try aiming the camera over ground.
• Avoid setting the camera up on small trees that are prone to being moved by strong winds. Try to set the camera on stable and immovable objects, i.e., large trees.
• Remove any limbs which are right in front of the camera lens.
• At night, the PIR sensor may detect beyond the range of the infrared flash. Reduce the detection distance by adjusting the PIR sensor sensitivity.
• Rising sun or sunset can trigger the PIR sensor. The camera must be reoriented.
• If a subject moves quickly, it may move out of the camera’s field of view before the photo has been taken. Move the camera further back or redirect it.

The camera stops taking images/videos or won’t take images/videos

• Please make sure that the memory card is not full. If the memory card is full, the camera will stop taking photos/videos. To avoid such problem, check that the cycle recording function in activated.
• Check the batteries to make sure that there is enough power left for the camera to work.
• Make sure that the camera power switch is in the ON position and not in the OFF or SETUP position.
• Please format the memory card with the camera before using it or when the camera stops taking images/videos.

The night vision flash range doesn’t meet expectations

• Please check to make sure the batteries are fully charged or have enough power left.
• Ni-MH rechargeable batteries can offer a much better IR flash range; alkaline batteries cannot deliver enough amperage to power the illuminator consistently at night.
• To ensure accuracy and quality of the night time images, please mount the camera in a dark environment without any obvious light sources.
• Certain surroundings (like trees, walls, ground, etc.) within flash range can get you better night time images. Please do not aim the camera to total open field where there is nothing within the IR flash range to reflect the flash back.
