Introduction

3.1 Power Supply
A. Batteries
The camera runs on 6 or 12 AA size batteries (9-12V power supply to ensure camera well performance of all functions); can work with alkaline and high- quality NiMH rechargeable batteries. But we suggest running cameras with NiMH batteries only as the performance of alkaline batteries is much poorer than NiMH batteries. Pls also choose the battery type you’re using in the menu option “Battery Type” to reach a longer operation time.

Batteries should be inserted with the correct electrode position as marked on the housing. Upside-down battery electrodes may cause device malfunction. Also, we strongly recommend changing the batteries when the power icon on the camera screen or photo stamp is empty.
Note: Don’t mix battery types! Different batteries to be used in the camera may cause permanent damage which also violates warranty policy!
Due to different settings, object activities within the camera detection zone, different brands and quality of batteries, using environment, etc; we’re not able to list out the exact number of photos and videos that the camera can achieve. So given table below only shows an approximate number of photos or videos the camera can take with 12AA alkaline batteries; better performance can be given by 12 AA rechargeable NiMH batteries.

Test Condition: LCD screen off. Mode: “Power On” _PIR intelligent automatically monitoring;

IR LEDs Off
Photo| 100 pies| 1133 days| lOsecs video clips| 10 clips| 228 days

B. Solar Panel
To bring users a better-using experience, our engineers designed this camera to be able to work with most standard 12V/2A lithium battery build-in solar panels. However, rechargeable AA NiMH batteries need the higher voltage for charging that solar panels can’t charge the batteries in using in-camera batteries cases.
C. Power Adaptor—Security Surveillance Purpose
This camera can also be powered by an external 12V/ 2A DC adapter. Recommend to remove the AA size batteries when the power adapter is used. Electrical power is  recommended for security purposes.

3.2 SD Card Selection
Using a memory card is required to operate the camera. When the camera is “ON” and no memory card is used, the screen displays “No card”. The SD slot of the camera has a 32 GB memory capacity. Before inserting or removing the memory card, the camera must be turned “OFF”. Failing to do so may cause loss of or damage to the pictures/ videos already recorded from the memory card. When the SD card is full, the viewing screen shows “Memory Full”. The following data shows an approximate quantity of photos that can be recorded by the camera depending on the memory card capacity.

The chart below will show you the approximate capacity of different size SD cards. Pls, check to see which size card can fit your needs best.

3.3 USB Connection
When the camera is connected via USB cable; the screen display “MSDC”, press “Menu” once, and “MSDC” turns to “PC Cam”, the camera now can be used as a PC camera; press “Menu” again, camera exits PC camera mode.

3.4 Attention

1. Insert the SD memory card correctly, the camera does not support SD card hot swap (insertion).
2. Please use high-quality AA batteries in order to prevent battery cells from corrosion by leaked acid.
3. Use the right adaptor (12V/2A) of this camera to supply power, and do not invert the electrode when put in batteries.
4. In Test mode, the camera will automatically power off in 3 mins if there is no keypad touching.
5. Don’t interrupt the power supply during the system upgrade, please deliver it back to the factory if the device doesn’t work after upgrading.
6. Do not frequently insert or pull out the SD card and battery or plug in and out the adaptor when the camera is on.
7. Do not have any floating objects, such as leaves, strings, or ribbons in the 3M motion detection zone of cameras, to avoid mistaking photographs or videos.
8. Do not keep the camera next to hot irrelevant objects, air conditioner exhaust vents, light, etc. to avoid mistaking photos or videos.
9. The camera is with a 100° FOV lens which means more flash is needed to get better nighttime images than the average 52° FOV lens from the market; that’s why 58pcs 60° IR LEDs are used on this camera. But ensure these 58pcs IR LEDs can give enough flash to back the wide angle lens up that high qualified AA batteries must be applied accordingly to deliver enough amperage to power the illuminator consistently in dark environments.
10. Programmed Date/Time can be saved in the camera for 12 hours as long as the camera was powered 1 hour above.

Trouble Shooting

6.1 Photos Do Not Capture Subject of Interest

1. Check the “Sensor Level” (PIR sensitivity) parameter setting. For warm environmental conditions set the Sensor Level to “High” and for cold weather use, set the sensor to “Low”.
2. Try to set your camera up in an area where no heat resources are in the camera’s field of view.
3. In some cases, setting the camera near water will make the camera take images with no subject in them. Try to aim the camera over the ground.
4. At night, the motion detector may detect beyond the range of the IR illumination. Reduce distance setting by adjusting sensor sensitivity.
5. Rising sun or sunset can trigger the sensor. The camera must be reoriented.
6. If a person/animal moves quickly, it may move out of the camera’s field of view before the photo is taken. Move the camera further back or redirect the camera.

6.2 Camera Stops Taking Images or Won’t Take Images

1. Please make sure that the SD card is not full. If the card is full, the camera will stop taking images. Or users can turn on Cycle Recording to avoid such problems.
2. Check batteries to make sure that alkaline or NiMH AA batteries left power is enough for the camera to work.
3. Make sure that the camera power switch is in the “On” position and not in the “Off” mode.
4. Please format the SD card with the camera before using or when the camera stops taking images.

6.3 Night Vision Flash Range Doesn’t Meet Expectations

1. Please check to make sure that batteries are fully charged or left power is enough;
2. “Max Range” offers a better IR flash range. Given IR flash range values are based on the Max Range setting; so please adjust Night Mode to Max Range for better night vision flash range;
3. High-quality 1.5V NiMH rechargeable AA batteries can also offer a much better IR flash range; alkaline batteries cannot deliver enough amperage to power the illuminator consistently at night;
4. To ensure accuracy and quality of nighttime images, please mount the camera to dark environment without any obvious light sources;
5. A certain surroundings (like trees, walls, ground, etc.) within flash range can get you better nighttime images; please do not aim the camera to a totally open field where there is nothing within IR flash range to reflect flashback; it’s like shining a flashlight into the sky at the night, you just can’t see anything; same does the camera;

6.4 Photos Do Not Capture Subject of Interest

1. Check the “Sensor Level” (PIR sensitivity) parameter setting. For warm environmental conditions, set the Sensor Level to “High” and for cold weather use, set the sensor to “Low”.
2. Try to set your camera up in an area where there is not a heat source in the camera’s line of sight.
3. In some cases, set the camera near water will make the camera take images with no subject in them. Try aiming the camera over the ground.
4. Remove any limbs which are right in front of the camera lens.
