Product Overview

Preparing the camera

CAUTION!
Pull the contact breaker out of the battery compartment. This might need a little force. Only then will the camera’s power supply activate so that the camera can be used.
Preparing the camera

Opening and closing the camera

Open: Loosen the locking clip on the right side of the camera. Grasp the back of the lock with two fingers and pull it away from the camera until the lock pops open.

Close: Close the camera and place the locking clip on the two hooks on the side. Then press the locking clip backwards.

Inserting the batteries

CAUTION!

The camera must be turned off before inserting new batteries! Please use either disposable or rechargeable batteries, do not mix different types of batteries. For black night photography, please replace all batteries with fully charged batteries.

Battery compartment: Open the camera. Press the EJECT button at the bottom right. The battery compartment now extends about 2 cm out of the bottom of the camera. A mechanism prevents it from falling out. To remove the compartment completely, pull it straight down with some force.
Inserting the batteries

When inserting the eight fully charged disposable or rechargeable batteries, please be sure to insert the batteries with the matching polarity as indicated in the battery compartment. Push the battery compartment completely back into the camera until it clicks into place.

Inserting the memory card

The ZEISS Secacam stores the photos and videos on commercially available SD or SDHC memory cards (guaranteed up to 32 GB); not Micro-SD cards.

CAUTION!
It is only possible to take photos or videos if there is a memory card inserted.
Inserting the memory card

Capture mode (Photo/Video/Photo+Video)

Photo: The camera takes photos according to the selected settings in “Image size” and “Multi shot”.

Status information on the displayTip: We recommend the “Photo” setting for mobile image transmission.

**Video:** Here, a video recording is made according to the parameters selected under “Video resolution” and “Video length”.

Note: This menu item is only visible when mobile is switched off because videos cannot be transmitted without an associated image.

CAUTION!
Video transmission can only be activated if you have a suitable data plan and only via the ZEISS Secacam app. For more information on data plans, see: www.zeiss.ly/secacam-subcriptions
QR Code

Photo+Video: First, the camera takes a photo(s) and then a video. The number of photos or the length of the following video depends on the settings under the menu items “Multi shot” or “Video length”.

CAUTION!
Saving a video with the “Photo+Video” setting may delay mobile transmission of the captured photos. Sent videos are limited in resolution and recording length.

Image size

There are three image sizes to choose from with the ZEISS Secacam:

  • 5 MP = 5.0 megapixels = 2592 x 1944 pixels
  • 8 MP = 8.0 megapixels = 3,264 x 2,448 pixels
  • 12 MP = 12.0 megapixels = 4,000 x 3,000 pixels

We recommend setting the resolution to 5 MP. Although a higher resolution might result in a partially improved photo quality, it results in larger photo files which, accordingly, require much more space on the memory card. Since the camera has a 5.0 MP CMOS image sensor, the resolutions 12 MP and 8 MP are generated by interpolation. Photos are taken in a 4:3 aspect ratio and saved in the JPEG format.

Note: This setting only affects the images saved on the SD card, not the images sent via mobile (see 5.12).

Multi shot

Select the number of photos (1 to 5 photos) to be taken in quick succession when triggered in Photo mode.

5 images, each 1 second apart
5 images, < 1 second interval

In practice, the “5P” setting has proven most effective for common use cases. If the camera registers a movement, it will take 5 photos consecutively with a gap of approximately one second between two photos. With this series of photos, you increase the likelihood of capturing a moving object at least once.
However, you can also choose the option to have 3, 4 or 5 photos triggered very quickly one after the other.
If the camera registers a movement, it will take 3 to 5 photos consecutively with a gap of around one second between two photos.

Note: When the mobile unit is switched on, in the default setting only the second photo is sent for each series of photos. Experience has taught us that the second photo has the highest chance of showing a moving object the best.

You can set the delay between two recording series under the “Pause capture” menu item (see below).

Video resolution

There are three video resolutions to choose from with your ZEISS Secacam:

  • 1080p = 1920 x 1080 pixels
  • 720p = 1280 x 720 pixels
  • 480p = 640 x 480 pixels

We recommend 720p resolution. Although the 1080p resolution might result in a partially improved video quality, the video files will be larger and, accordingly, require much more space on the memory card.
The videos are recorded at up to 30 fps (frames per second) and saved in mp4 format.

Video length

Under this menu item, specify the duration of a video recording triggered automatically. You can select a duration from 5 to 59 seconds for the video length.

CAUTION!
Please note that night videos have a considerably higher battery consumption than photos.
While the LEDs only flash briefly while taking a photo, they light up during the entire recording in a video.

We recommend a maximum video length of 15 seconds. When using the “Photo+Video” mode, we recommend reducing the video length to 10 seconds.
Sent videos are limited in resolution and recording length and do not depend on the device settings in the menu.

Sensitivity

The ZEISS Secacam has a passive infrared sensor (PIR) that reacts to moving heat sources. You can set the sensitivity of the sensor between “High”, “Medium” and “Low”. We recommend the “High” setting.
However, this settings increases the possibility of false triggering, for example when the camera recognizes moving branches that have been warmed up by sunlight and are now moving in the wind. In this case, we recommend gradually reducing the sensitivity.

Flash mode
The ZEISS Secacam has three setting options for the exposure time:

Max. range: If the living beings to be captured are moving comparatively slowly (e.g. grazing deer), this setting results in very well illuminated night shots. However, moving objects appear less sharp.

Balanced: This setting is a middle ground between max. range and min. blur. The scenery is illuminated well at night, and moving objects are rendered sufficiently sharp.

Min. blur: The exposure time is set as short as possible at night. Night shots tend to be a bit darker, but the motion sharpness is at its best.

Timer

Similar to a clock timer, you can define a time period here in which the camera should take photos. To do this, first select the “On” setting in the “Timer” menu item. The start and stop times are entered in the format hh:mm.

  • Example: A hunt should only be monitored during the night time. For example, you can define the time interval as follows: 22:00 to 06:00. Outside this period, the ZEISS Secacam will remain in stand-by mode.

Outside the selected time interval, the camera will not be triggered and will not take any photos or record any videos.

Time lapse

Continuous shooting is set in this mode. The camera then automatically triggers a recording at a pre-selected time interval. To do this, first select the “On” setting in the “Time lapse” menu item. The interval between two automatically triggered recordings is entered in the format hh:mm:ss in each case. Use the up and down arrow buttons to change the respective setting, and the right and left buttons to move one position forward or backward. You can choose an interval between recordings from 5 seconds (00:00:05) to 24 hours (23:59:59). Finally, confirm the settings with “OK”.

This continuous shooting is possible in both photo mode and video mode, but photo shots make more sense in practice.

  • Example: You would like to create a time-lapse video. For these popular time lapse recordings, it makes sense to choose a short time interval of about 5 to 10 seconds. With additional software (not included), you can then combine these individual recordings into a time-lapse video.

Tip: It is recommended to set the “Multi shot” to “1” for continuous shooting, so that only one photo is taken per trigger.

Pause capture

This setting is a forced pause set by you after the recording series has been completed. During the selected interval, the camera will not take pictures or record videos, even if there is movement in front of the camera. This prevents the memory card from being filled with too many unwanted recordings. This is because, depending on the setup, a branch moving in the sunlight or a mouse, for example, may repeatedly trigger almost identical images. To prevent the ZEISS Secacam from taking hundreds of unwanted images in such cases and possibly sending them via mobile, you can define a delay between two motion- activated images.
To do this, first select the “On” setting in the “Pause capture” menu item. Use the up and down arrow buttons to change the respective setting. You can choose the delay between 3 seconds (00:00:03) and 24 hours (23:59:59). Once you have finished, confirm with “OK”.

Tip: If the surveillance camera is operated in photo mode, a combination of 5 images in series, interrupted by a 5 second delay, has proven successful in practice. For Photo+Video, the recommended interval is 15 seconds for taking videos, and a 15-second delay. The delay can be combined well with the mobile photos/ videos per hour function. For example, if you select a maximum of 10 images per hour, we recommend a 6-minute delay. This would spread the 10 recordings over the 60 minutes. Otherwise, it is possible that 10 recordings are taken in the first 5 minutes and the camera does not become active again until an hour later.

Transmission

Here you can switch the transmission functions on or off. If you switch off this option, the ZEISS Secacam will no longer send you any images. The camera can also no longer be controlled via the ZEISS Secacam app.

Sent photo size

(This menu item can only be selected if mobile is switched on.)
If you use the camera in an area where there is only 2G network coverage and sending images takes significantly too long, you can change the method of sending to “M” or even “S”, which will speed up sending images.

S = 1024 x 768 pixels
M = 1280 x 960 pixels
L = 1920 x 1440 pixels

Note: This setting only applies to the images sent via mobile, not the images stored on the SD card.

Sent shots/h

(This menu item can only be selected if mobile is switched on).
You can set the maximum number of photos/videos sent per hour via mobile in preset levels between 1 and ∞. Outdoors, for example, moving branches can be heated by the sun’s rays and, in combination with wind, lead to undesirable images.

Note: If an event happens after the tenth image with a limitation of, for example, 10 images/hour, it will be recorded and saved on the SD card, but no longer sent. Only events that happen after the next 60 minutes are then sent again. This can result in a surveillance gap of up to one hour.

GPS data

Note: This menu item can only be selected if mobile is switched on.

Here you can set whether the ZEISS Secacam should determine its GPS position. This allows you to display the
location of your camera in the ZEISS Secacam app.
To save power, the camera updates its position data once when it is switched on. This may take some time
depending on the position, meaning that the position is not visible on the first images.

Battery type

The ZEISS Secacam can also be used with LR6 (AA) 1.5 V Mignon rechargeable batteries. For the battery display to work correctly (rechargeable batteries tend to have a higher current capacity at lower voltage values), you can select here whether you are using batteries or rechargeable batteries.
Note: When using rechargeable batteries, the battery display may differ from the actual charge status.

Date/time

When the “Automatic” setting is selected, the camera loads the date and time from the mobile network.
If necessary, you can adjust the time to the corresponding season or time zone using + and -. When the “Manual” setting is selected, you can set the date and time yourself. Use the up and down arrow buttons to change the respective setting, and the right and left arrow buttons to move forward or back one position. Confirm the settings with “OK” to complete. The date and time are now included in every recording.

Language

Choose the desired menu language. You can choose between German, English, Spanish, French and Italian.

Footer cam name

You have the option to choose a name that will appear at the bottom of your images. If you select the “On” option, you can enter a name with a total of 12 characters using the arrow buttons. Use the up and down arrow buttons to change the respective character and the right and left arrow buttons to move forward or back one position.

PIN code

You can secure the camera with a six-digit PIN to prevent the device being used in case of camera theft. To do this, first select the “On” setting in the “PIN code” menu item. Use the up and down arrow buttons to change the respective setting, and the right and left buttons to move one position forward or backward. Confirm the settings with “OK” to complete.

Note: This option has nothing to do with the PIN code on the quick guide you used to register your ZEISS Secacam. This option is used to password- protect your ZEISS Secacam.

CAUTION!
Please use the PIN code option very carefully. If you forget the selected PIN, the camera is also useless for you. In this case please contact our customer service. If you have booked a corresponding data plan, you can also deactivate the PIN request via the ZEISS Secacam app

SD cycle

By setting this menu item to “On”, you prevent new recordings from being made when the memory card is full. Otherwise the oldest recordings are overwritten by new ones.

Reset

If you select “Yes” under this menu item and confirm the selection with “OK”, all settings are reset to the delivery status. The date and time are not affected.

Send test photo
(This menu item can only be selected if mobile is switched on.)
If you want to test whether sending recordings via mobile works as desired, you can take a test photo

Note: We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Pause capture, Time lapse and Timer functions mentioned above when using mobile mode. The functions will help you take and send the optimal number of photos.

Pause transmission

In the ZEISS Secacam app, you will find the function “Pause transmission” within your camera. This allows you to conveniently pause the send function from your smartphone or PC, either permanently or for a certain period of time. If the pause is permanent, the camera can be reactivated via the app. However, during the pause, the camera continues to take photos and save them to the SD card.

Topping up credit

You will find the option to top up your credit under each of your ZEISS Secacams. Once it is used up, your camera will stop sending images. However, they are stored on the SD card as usual.

Network scan

The ZEISS Secacam automatically searches for the strongest available network. However, if you are not
satisfied with your ZEISS Secacam’s network connection, you can start a manual network scan. However, this might take some time. To perform a manual search, follow the steps below:

  1. SETUP: Wait for the camera to fully boot. Wait until “Search network”, “Sync server time” and “Search GPS” have gone out on the screen.
  2. Right arrow button: Here you can see the details about your current network connection.
  3. Right arrow + left arrow: Press and hold the left and right arrow buttons simultaneously and wait until “Done” appears. If a stronger network is available, the camera will now connect to it, even after the next reboot.

The ZEISS Secacam is now connected to the strongest available network. If there is no stronger network in the vicinity, the ZEISS Secacam remains on the same network as before the scan.

Manually triggering test recordings

To check the capturing area or the recording quality, there is the option of manual triggering:

  1. SETUP: Set the switch to “SETUP”. The screen turns on and the start screen is visible for about
    2 seconds, after which the camera switches to preview mode and shows the section in the display that would also be visible during the recording.

  2. OK = recording: Press “OK” to trigger a recording manually. Caution: Depending on whether “Photo” or “Video” is selected in the “Mode” menu, either a photo and/or a video is recorded. Test videos are limited to a maximum of 15 seconds.

Note: To test your camera’s mobile connection, you can also have a test image sent to your user account or the ZEISS Secacam app via the camera menu.

Checking recordings

  1. SETUP: Set the switch to “SETUP” and the screen will turn on and show the current capturing area. At the top right, the number of recordings and the theoretically possible number of recordings according to the memory capacity used are displayed.
  2. PLAY: Press the PLAY button to enter review mode. The screen switches to the last recording taken.
  3. Right arrow button = forward, left arrow button = back: Use the right and left arrow buttons to skip back or forward through a recording. You can recognize a video recording by the black bars at the top and bottom, as well as by the movie camera icon displayed at the bottom left. To start playing a video, press the OK button.

Deleting recordings: If you want to delete a recording, first go into review mode as described above. Then press the MENU button to enter the menu. Now you have the choice between “Delete” and “Format”. If you select “Delete” here, you have the choice between “One” or “All”. If you select the “One” option, you will be taken back to review mode. There you can use the left and right arrow buttons to jump and decide which recordings you want to delete by clicking “Yes” and confirming with “OK”. If you choose the “All” option, you will be asked again if you really want to delete all files. Only when you select “Yes” and confirm with “OK” will the recordings be deleted.

CAUTION!
If you confirm the “All” selection at this point, you will irretrievably delete all recordings on the memory card!

Connection to computer

Remove the memory card and insert it into a computer’s card reader. If the computer does not have a card reader, you can also connect the camera directly to the computer using the USB cable provided.

Connection via USB cable: Release the locking clip and open the camera. There is a USB-C port on the right of the camera. You can connect the camera to your computer using the USB cable provided. Make sure the camera is turned off when you connect it to the computer. When the camera is plugged in, it will automatically turn on and “MSDC” appears on the display.
PC: The camera installs itself on the computer as an additional drive called “Removable disk”. Double-click to open this drive on the computer. Inside the “DCIM” folder is the “100MEDIA” folder with the captured photo and video files. After 1,000 recordings, another folder is created, called “101MEDIA”, “102MEDIA”, etc. However, the recordings are numbered consecutively. You can now copy or move the folder or individual files to the computer.
Memory card reader: Using a memory card reader (not included), you can import photos and videos directly from the camera’s memory card to your computer. To do this, connect the memory card reader to your computer and insert the camera’s memory card into the slot. If necessary, please consult the manufacturer’s operating instructions.

External power supply

External power supply: In addition to the power supply via batteries, the camera can also be permanently supplied with power via external power supplies with 12 V voltage and a current strength of at least 2 A. The corresponding socket is located at the bottom of the camera. The hollow plug of the power adapter must have an outer diameter of 4 mm and an inner diameter of 1.7 mm. Important: The positive pole must be on the inside, the negative pole on the outside. Remove the batteries when operating the camera with an external power supply.
External rechargeable battery: When using external rechargeable batteries for a long period of time, 12 V lead-gel batteries are particularly suitable. With a capacity of 4.5 Ah, for example, these batteries are an ideal long-term source of energy for the ZEISS Secacam. Please note that you must use a suitable cable with the correct polarity (positive pole inside) in addition to the rechargeable batteries.

Care

Do not use any harsh cleaners such as methylated spirits, thinners, etc. to clean the camera housing and the accessories provided. If necessary, clean the components using a soft, dry cloth.
