Charging the Wildlife Camera
The Wildlife Camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery which can be
charged either by solar power or with the USB-A to USB-C cable (supplied).
Charging via Solar Power
The solar panel charging temperature is between 0˚C to 50˚C. The sunlight
intensity and the ambient temperature all affect the charging efficiency. The
solar panel requires around 7 to 14 days to fully charge the built-in battery.
If the shooting frequency is too high during the charging time, this will in
turn cause the battery power to drain faster than the charging speed.
To ensure the Wildlife Camera is set up for optimal charging via solar power,
consider the following when setting the camera up.
- Ensure the solar panel on the Wildlife Camera is angled directly towards the sun.
- Ensure there are no overhanging branches or leaves that could potentially block the sun from hitting the solar panel.
NOTE: It is recommended to face the solar panel NORTH to ensure the
optimum output from the solar panel across the course of the day, no matter
what season.
NOTE: The built-in battery will come partially charged. It is recommended
to fully charge the camera using the USB-A to USB-C cable (supplied) prior to
setting up outdoors for solar charging.
Charging via USB-A to USB-C Cable
To achieve the maximum charge (100%), we recommend charging the built-in
battery with the USB-A to USB-C cable (supplied) and then use solar power to
maintain the built-in battery charge.
Insert the USB-C end into the USB-C port located on the bottom of the Wildlife
Camera. Connect the USB-A into the USB-A port of the power source.
You can monitor the built-in battery power % within the SETUP mode on the
bottom left-hand side of the screen. Refer to page 9 for an overview of the
viewing screen indicators.
NOTE: The built-in battery comes partiality charged. However, it is
recommended to fully charge the camera via the USB-A to USB-C cable
(supplied), before first use.
NOTE: Remove all Alkaline batteries from the battery compartment before
charging via the USB-A to USB-C cable (supplied).
Securing the Mounting Strap
A mounting strap has been supplied to secure the Wildlife Camera to a tree,
post, or other objects.
- Thread the mounting strap through the brackets located on the back of the Wildlife Camera (Fig. 4).
- Position the Wildlife Camera in the desired location.
- Lift the tab of the buckle. Thread the strap through the buckle, pulling the loose end of the mounting strap until the strap is tight (Fig. 5).
- Press the tab down to lock the buckle and secure the Wildlife Camera into position.
- To release the strap again, lift the tab of the mounting strap buckle and pull the strap back through.
Installing the Camera Mount
The camera mount (supplied) can be securely attached to walls, ceilings, posts
etc. Please follow the steps below for how to install the camera mount.
WARNING: Check that there are no cables, wiring or piping in the wall etc. before you drill.
- Mark the holes to be drilled (A), by holding the base of the camera mount against the location for installation.
- Use a suitable drill bit to drill the holes.
- Insert the plastic anchors (supplied) into the drilled holes so that they are flush with the surface.
- Assemble and secure the stand to the camera mount base (E) (Fig. 6).
- Place the assembled camera mount over the holes and screw in the screws (supplied) to secure the camera mount base to the surface.
- Position the camera mount hole located on the back or bottom of the Wildlife Camera on the tripod bolt (B). Two separate camera mount holes have been provided, to increase the flexibility of mounting the Wildlife Camera. Partially secure the camera by screwing the tripod bolt into the camera (approximately 3-5 turns).
- Adjust the Wildlife Camera onto your desired alignment and then secure with the counter screw (C). A spanner may need to be used (not supplied).
- Release the 2 x hinge screws (D) slightly to adjust the Wildlife Camera into the final position. Then secure by tightening the 2 x hinge screws (D).
NOTE: If the camera mount is located in a high position, the Wildlife Camera may need to be angled toward the ground to capture low moving objects. Angling the camera downwards may affect how much sun hits the solar panel and may impede solar power charging.
INSTRUCTIONS
Wildlife Camera Modes
The Wildlife Camera is a scouting and surveillance camera with an in-built
PIR.
The PIR sensor on the camera can detect sudden changes to the ambient
temperature within the observation area. Once detected the highly sensitive
infrared sensor will activate the photography and/or video mode.
The Wildlife Camera has three modes that can be selected. The Power/Mode
switch can be found above the viewing screen in the interior of the Wildlife
Camera (when the protective case is open).
OFF Mode
To power off the Wildlife Camera, slide the Power/Mode switch to the OFF
position.
The Wildlife Camera is completely powered off in the OFF mode.
NOTE: Always remove the Alkaline batteries from the Wildlife Camera when
it is not being used for a long period of time.
NOTE: It is recommended to switch the Wildlife Camera OFF when not in
use, to preserve battery power.
SETUP Mode
In SETUP mode you can access all the menu options and settings for the
Wildlife Camera. The menu options and settings available are listed on pages
21-25.
NOTE: You can also use the SETUP mode to align the Wildlife Camera. Refer
to the instructions on page 27.
NOTE: You can also manually take photos and video in the SETUP Mode.
Refer to the ‘Manual Recording’ instructions starting from page 30.
NOTE: The viewing screen is only activated in the SETUP mode for
accessing the menu options and viewing the saved photos and/or videos.
ON Mode (live mode)
To switch the Wildlife Camera on, slide the Power/Mode switch to the ON
position.
The Wildlife Camera will then enter the automatic sensing mode (live mode).
This means that as soon as moving objects directly enter the detection area of
the PIR sensor, the Wildlife Camera will automatically take photos and/or
video recordings, depending on the camera’s settings that have been selected.
Menu Options and Settings
To access the variety of settings on the Wildlife Camera, in SETUP mode, press
the button once to enter playback mode, then press the button once again to
access the menu options.
To navigate the main menu, use the and buttons to cycle through the 4 main
menu options located at the top of the screen. To exit the main menu press the
button.
To navigate within each main menu option, use the and buttons to scroll
through the sub menu options. Press the OK button to confirm your selection.

buttons. To exit the menu options and settings, press the button.
Refer to the below for the sub menu options and settings available within each
of the 4 main menu options.
NOTE: Refer to the table on page 26 for the default settings for each of the menu options.
Recording Modes and Settings Menu
Mode: There are three shooting modes: ‘Photo’, ‘ Video’, and ‘Photo +
Video’. The default mode is ‘Photo’. Select ‘Photo’ mode to only take photos,
select ‘Video’ mode to only record video or select ‘Photo + Video’ mode to
take photos prior to recording a video. In ‘Photo + Video’ mode, the number of
photos taken prior to recording depends on the ‘Picture No.’ setting.
PIR Interval: The PIR Interval is the time interval the camera waits before triggering another round of photos or videos. You can select how long you would like the camera to wait before it reacts to the successive triggering of the main sensor after the moving object has been detected. The camera does not record any images of videos during the selected interval. This prevents the memory card from being filled with unnecessary shots.
NOTE: If the interval time is short the camera shooting frequency would
be high and would in turn deplete the cameras battery power. If the interval
time is longer the battery power consumption would be less.
NOTE: The default setting for interval mode is 30 seconds. The interval
time options available are from 5 seconds to 59 minutes and 59 seconds. We
recommend selecting the default interval mode for longer use of the Wildlife
Camera.
NOTE: The ‘PIR interval’ and ‘PIR sensitivity’ options can only be
accessed when ‘Time lapse’ is set to ‘Off’.
PIR sensitivity: The higher the sensitivity, the easier the motion sensor
will be triggered. It is recommended to set the PIR sensitivity to ‘Medium’
mode. The sensitivity of PIR is strongly related to the temperature. The
higher the temperature, the lower the sensitivity of the PIR.
Time lapse: When ‘On’ is selected, the Wildlife Camera will automatically
take photos at the selected time interval, irrespective of whether the PIR
sensor has detected motion or not. This is useful for observing cold blooded
animals eg. snakes, or plants opening, etc. Once the ‘Time lapse’ option is
selected and confirmed (by pressing the OK button), the periodic interval
clock will appear on the viewing screen for selection. The time lapse options
available are from 5 seconds to 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds.
NOTE: When ‘Time lapse’ has been selected and set and the Wildlife Camera
is in the ON (live) mode, it will automatically take photos at the selected
time interval, irrespective of whether the PIR sensor has detected a motion or
not.
NOTE: In ‘Time lapse’ mode, the PIR sensor is deactivated.
Loop Recording: When ‘On’ is selected, once the micro SD card is full,
the camera will delete the earliest (unprotected) photos/videos recorded in
order to save the new photos/videos recorded.
IR LED: Select the desired brightness of the LEDs. Choose from ‘Auto’,
‘Medium’, ‘Low’ or ‘Of f ’.
Low Bat Night Shot: Select between ‘No IR Led’ which allows the camera to
take photos and videos without activating the LEDs at night when the battery
power is low, or, ‘No shutting’ which prevents the camera from taking photos
or videos at night.
Monitoring Period: If you only want the camera to monitor an area during
a specific time, you can do so from this menu. Select ‘On’ and press the OK
button to confirm. You can set up to two timers. Scroll down to select the
timer option (Timer 1 Start, Timer 1 Stop, Timer 2 Start, Timer 2 Stop) and

Aligning the Wildlife Camera
The SETUP (test) mode is useful for determining the best possible angle for the PIR sensor. To use the SETUP (test) mode, attach the Wildlife Camera to a tree, post or object at approximately 0.8-1 metres height and position the camera in the desired direction.
- Slide the Power/Mode switch to SETUP. Close the protective case and firmly press the locking tabs into position.
- Moving parallel to the Wildlife Camera, move slowly from one side of the observation area to the other.
- The motion indicator light will flash red indicating that you were detected by the sensor. In this way you can determine the best position for aligning the Wildlife Camera.
- It is recommended to try out different angles and distances.
- Once the Wildlife Camera is positioned in the ideal location, open the protective case and slide the Power/Mode switch to ON (live) mode or to OFF to switch off the camera. Then close the protective case and firmly press the locking tabs into position.
NOTE: The motion indicator light will only flash red when the PIR has
detected movement in the SETUP (test) mode. The motion indicator lights will
not illuminate or flash when the Wildlife Camera is switched ON (in live
mode).
NOTE: To prevent incorrect signals, unnecessary images and potential
false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances do not aim the PIR
sensor of the Wildlife Camera at a heat source, nearby tree branches or bushes
(especially on windy days). The optimum alignment is in either in the north or
south direction.
The detection range of the sensor is approximately 90°.
NOTE: It is recommended to only move horizontally when testing the best
possible angle for the PIR sensor. The PIR sensor does not pick up vertical
movement as well as horizontal movement. Remember that you will need to be in
front of the Wildlife Camera while testing is underway.
NOTE: It is recommended to move quickly when you do the test in a long
distance in front of the PIR detection area.
NOTE: The PIR detection distance will be shorter if the environment
temperature reaches 30˚C or above.
NOTE: Check that the Wildlife Camera is set to the correct height in line
with the point to be observed. Where necessary, point the Wildlife Camera
slightly downwards for optimum alignment.
NOTE: The Wildlife Camera is IP66 weatherproof. The device is protected
against spray water and dust and subsequently can be used outdoors in most
weather conditions.
Live Mode (ON)
The standard application of the Wildlife Camera is in the ON (live) mode. In
this mode, photos and/or video are triggered either by movement (PIR sensors)
or at intervals according to the Wildlife Camera’s settings.
- Slide the Power/Mode switch to ON.
- The red LED will flash and the counter on the bottom left of the viewing screen will count down from around 5 seconds and then the Wildlife Camera viewing screen will turn off. The Wildlife Camera is now in standby mode.
- When animals, birds or other moving objects enter the detection range of the central PIR sensor, the Wildlife Camera will activate and take photos and/or record the video depending on the camera’s settings.
NOTE: During daytime, the IR LEDs will not light up and the photos and
videos taken will be in colour. At night, the IR LEDs will light up and the
photos and videos taken will be in black and white.
NOTE: It is recommended to set up the desired recording mode and related
parameters in the SETUP (test) mode, before switching the Wildlife Camera to
ON (live) mode.
NOTE: When the PIR sensitivity is set to ‘Auto’, the Wildlife Camera will
adjust the brightness of the IR LEDs automatically. When shooting at night,
the brightness will be decreased automatically, and the shooting effect will
be inferior to that of daytime shooting. If the built-in battery power drops
to 10% and/or the AA Alkaline battery available power is less than 30%, the
Wildlife Camera will not activate at night.
NOTE: In ON (live) mode at night, the Wildlife Camera will record
automatically as per the video length setting. When the battery power is too
low, the Wildlife Camera will stop recording. It is recommended to select a
shorter video length to preserve the battery power.
Image and Video Recording Modes
Photo and video resolutions can be adjusted using the button. Refer to the
‘Menu Options and Settings’ section on pages 21-25. We have included a table
below as a guide for the quantity of photos or video that can be stored on the

Night Recording
When recording at night, the infrared LEDs (IR LEDs) located at the front of
the Wildlife Camera provide sufficient light for taking photos and/or
recording video. The Wildlife Camera uses IR LEDs with a long wavelength to
keep red light to a minimum. The provided number of IR LEDs generate a high
deflection angle, therefore allowing night recording at a distance of 3-20
metres without overexposing the subject. Reflecting objects, however, can
cause overexposure (within this range) eg. road signs.
NOTE: Night recording using IR LEDs produces black and white photos
and/or video.
