WORKING MODE DESCRIPTION

Calibrate the installation position of camera
In the “SETUP” mode, the best shooting angle and range of the camera can be adjusted.
During calibration, you can choose whether to use the side sensor for observation. The steps to calibrate the camera position are as follows:

• Tie the camera to a tree or an object 1-2 meter high, adjust the camera lens direction, and then slowly move the camera to the other side to monitor the motion track.
• If the side PIR indicator is on, it means that the side sensor has detected the moving object. If the main PIR indicator is on, it means that the main sensor has detected the moving object. In this way, the best position for installing the camera can be found.
• The indicator light will be on only when the sensor detects moving objects in the “SETUP” mode and the LED is off in the “ON” mode.
• Make sure that the camera will not be interfered unnecessarily when it is working, and avoid direct sunlight or near the branches.

Normal operation mode

In this mode, the camera is triggered to shot by the sensor; the camera enters monitoring mode when the switch is “ON”. After 5 seconds, the LED lights will turn off and the camera starts to operate independently and enter the standby mode. Once an animal enters the area detected by the side sensor, the camera will be activated and detect the motion track. If the animal continues to move to the main sensor detection area, the camera will take photos or record video automatically, If the animal leaves the area detected by the main sensor, the camera will tum off and return to standby mode.

Night mode

• At night, the infrared LED light will tum on automatically to provide necessary lighting for taking photos. The LED light illuminates with a range of about 3-20 meters. If the animals are too close to the camera, it may cause overexposure.
• In night mode, the picture or video is only black and white. When recording video for a long time, low voltage may have a big effect on the stability of the camera, so DO NOT record video at night when the power is low.

NOTE:
If the camera is used at night when the battery voltage is low, the current increases due to the infrared light. Low battery may have a big effect on the stability of the camera. The camera cannot take photos I video or take very dark images, but it does not affect the daytime photo or video.

IMAGE/ DATA OUTPUT

Connect to your computer to download photos/Videos. After the camera is connected to the computer and enters the removable disk mode, a removable disk will be added in the “My Computer” window. Taken photos or videos will be stored in the “DCIM\100MEDIA”directory on the removable disk. You can enter this directory to copy files to your computer hard disk.

NOTE:
To avoid data loss, do not disconnect the data cable during file downloading, and do not plug or unplug the memory card when connected.
