BEFORE OPERATION

Power supply
Batteries Installation

First,open the camera by unlocking the latch. The battery the compartment is found on the right side of the camera.Open the protective cover of the battery compartment and insert 8x 1.5 V LR6/AA batteries into the battery slots. Make sure to insert each battery with correct polarity (+ and – end against the long spring of each battery slot).

Note:
NEVER INSTALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF BATTERIES or NEW AND OLD BATTERIES in the product at the same time. Anytime you load or unload batteries, make sure that the camera is OFF. If using external power source, do not remove internal batteries.

Using an External Power Source

Optionally, you carn connect an external 6V DC power source with at least 1.5A to the ‘DC In’jack at the bottom of the camera. The power connector is a 3.5×1.35 mm coaxial DC power plug with positive ‘tip’ (inside pin) polarity. Leave internal batteries in the camera during use.

Inserting the SD Card
The camera uses a Micro SD (Secure Digital) memory card to save photos (in jpg format) and/or videos (in AVI format). SD and SDHC (High Capacity) cards up to a maximum 32 GB capacity are supported.

BEFORE OPERATION

• Insert the SD card (with the camera’s power switch in the OFF position) before beginning to operate the camera. Don’t insert or remove the SD card when the power switch is in the ON position.
• Before inserting the memory card, please open the front cover and make sure that the write-protect switch on the side of the card is ‘OFF’ (NOT in the “Lock” position).
•  Insert the SD card into the card slot. You should hear the card “click” into place. If your Micro SD card doesn’t seem to be fitting in to the slot, try flipping the card over so the label is facing you.
• There is only one proper orientation for inserting the card.
•  To take out the SD card, just gently push in the card (do not try to pull it out without pushing in first). You will hear a click and notice the card has been released from the slot, in which you can now remove it from the camera.
• Note:
  •  Be sure the camera’s power is switched OFF before inserting or removing SD cards or batteries.
  •  Camera will not operate without an SD memory card inserted

CAMERA OPERATION

Mode Switch

There are three basic operational modes:
• OFF mode: Power switch in the OFF position.
• ON mode: Power switch in the ON position ( LCD screen is off).
• TEST mode: Power switch at TEST position (LCD screen is on).

OFF Mode
The OFF mode is the “safe mode,” as you must be in this mode when doing things such as replacing the SD card or batteries, or transporting the device.
ON Mode
The camera will take photos or videos automatically ( based on its current settings) when it is triggered by the PIR sensor’s detection of activity in the area it covers.
TEST Mode
In the TEST mode you can check and change the settings of the camera with the help of its built-in LCD. These settings, found in the TEST Menu, let you change the photo or video resolution, interval between photos, enable time stamping,

Changing Settings in TEST Mode
The main purpose of the TEST mode is to change the camera settings so your trail camera operates exactly the way you want it to.

•  Press the UP key, then press SHOT to take a test video.
•  Press the DOWN key, then press SHOT to take a test photo.
•  Press the MENU button to bring up the setup menu.

CAMERA OPERATION

•  Use the UP and DOWN keys to scroll between settings.
•  Use the RIGHT and LEFT keys to change settings.
•  Press the OK button to save your specified setting.

Capture modes

• Photo: Capture photos with motion detection.
• Video: Capture video clips with motion detection.
• Photo+ Video: Capture both photos and video with motion detection.

Photo resolution
Set resolution for still photos. Options: 3 MP, SMP, 8MP (default), 1 2MP or 16MP.

Photo series
Selects how many photos are taken in sequence per trigger. In addition to single shot mode (1 photo), you can take 2-3 photos per sequence.

Video resolution

• Allows you to select your video resolution.
• Options: 1080P (1920 x 1080, 25 fps), 720P (1080 x 720, 30 fps),
• WVGA (720 x 480, 30 fps), VGA (640 x 480, 30 fps), ( 320 x 240, 30 fps)

Video Length

Set the length of each video clip recorded each time motion is detected (between 3-60 seconds or 1-1 O minutes). The longer the recording time selected the shorter the operating time. The preset video length is s seconds.

CAMERA OPERATION

Audio recording
Allows you to toggle the recording of sound with your videos.

Shot lag

Set the time period that the camera should wait before reacting to subsequent activation of the main sensor after the initial recording. During the selected interval, the camera will not record any images or videos. This prevents the memory card from being filled up with too many recordings of the same event. You can select between 5-60 seconds or 1-60 minutes.

Side motion sensors
The default setting is On. The two side PIR sensors provide wider sensing angle and enhance response time. However, in some situations you have difficulty removing the interfering twigs, or avoiding the sunlight. If so, you have the option to turn off the side sensors.

Sensitivity motion sensors
The sensitivity of the main motion sensor is set here. For interior areas and environments with little interference, such as branches blowing in the wind, select ‘High”. Select ‘Medium· for exterior areas and environments with a normal amount of interference, and select ‘Low’for environments with a high level of interference. The temperature can also affect the sensitivity. The ‘High’ setting is suitable for warm ambient temperatures, whereas ‘Low” should be selected for cold environments.

Target recording time
Select “On if the camera should only be active during a certain time period. In the screen menu that subsequently appears, you can then set the start and end time for the active phase. The settings made here apply every day. The camera will not record any images outside of the active phase.

Time-lapse
Time-lapse mode disables the PIR sensor and instead takes photos/VIdeos automatically at your specified time interval_ This feature allows you to scout further distances which are outside of the PIR sensor’s range, such as big open areas (food plots, fields, etc) When you confirm “On” with the OK button, you can then set the desired time interval using the menu that now appears.

Language

Here you can set English, German, Finnish, Swedish, Danish, French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese or Chinese as the menu language.

Time & date

Here you can set the date format (YYYY/MM/DD, DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DDYYY), the time format (12/24 hrs) and the time and date. Use LEFT and RiGHT keys to move to next field. Use UP or DOWN keys to change the setting, pressing OK button to save.

Photo stamp

Select ON to print the temperature, moon phase, date, and time on each photo (only for photos). Select OFF for no imprint.

Password protection

Select “On if you want to use a password to protect the camera from unwanted access. You can set a 4-digit combination. Once the code is set, the camera will prompt you to enter the correct Code. If you forget the number combination, proceed as follows to unlock the camera and to reset it to its factory default settings:

• Copy the file “FWDLJA.bin from the supplier onto an empty memory card.
• Insert the memory card into the device while the operating mode selector switch is set to the OFF position
• Keep the button pressed while moving the operating mode selector switch to the SET position.
• Keep the button pressed. After about 5 seconds the camera reset finished

Format memory card

Delete (erase) all files stored on a card to QreQare it for reuse. Always format a card that has been previously used in other devices. Caution! Make sure you have downloaded and backed up any files you want to preserve first! Press OK to execute, press MENU to exit without formatting

Serial NO
Select “On” if you want to use a serial number to rank the camera. You can set a 4-digit combination. This helps multicamera users identify the location when reviewing the photos, since each camera will imprint its number on all photos it captures.
Reset setting
Select ‘Yes’ and press OK to restore all parameters to the original factory default settings

Aligning the camera

In test mode you can work out the optimum exposure angle and the range of the motion sensors. During alignment, consider whether the use of the side motion sensors may be useful for attaining the desired  observation results. You can activate/deactivate the side motion sensors using the above-described menu.

Align the camera as follows:
Fasten the camera to a tree or similar object at a height of 1-2 meters and align the camera in the desired direction. Then move slowly from one side of the target area to the other side. While doing this, monitor the motion display. If this lights up in blue, you have been detected by one of the activated side motion sensors. If it lights up in red, you have been detected by the front motion sensor. In this way, you can work out the best alignment for the camera. The motion display only lights up when the operating mode selector switch is in the SET position and one of the motion sensors has detected movement. During normal operation, there will be no LED display in this case. To ensure that the camera does not make unwanted recordings of irrelevant movements, it should not be set up in a sunny location or close to branches that can move in the wind. The recording angle of the sensors is about 100° from corner to corner; and the recording field for photos and videos is around 89°.

CAMERA IS READY TO USE—Switch to ON

AFTER CHANGING TO DESIRED SETTING and SIMPLY SLIDING SWITCHES TO ON POSITION, the camera is active standby mode and will record media according to the switch settings.  Firstly, the motion indicator LED will blink red for about 5 seconds. Any motion is detected by the side PIR sensor; the camera will be active without trigger. As soon as the further motion is detected by the central PIR sensor within 5 minutes, the camera will take photos or videos. Otherwise, the unit will return to standby state

Reviewing Images by Connecting to a Computer

When using a PC (or Mact) to view photos (or video dlips ), first connect the device to the computer with the USB cable (Supplied). It will be recognized as a ‘mass storage. You can view images and videos in the folder \DCIM\.

Showing recordings on an external monitor

• A TV monitor can also be used to play back pictures (or videos) from the device.
• Connect a TV to the camera using the supplied cable. Then:
• Set the video input source of the TV to ‘video’.
• Put the power switch in TEST mode.
• Use REPLAY/UP/DOWN/OK/SHOT keys to view photos/videos.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Photos do not capture your intended subject
These are the result of placing the camera in an environment where there is motion associated with tree branches creating motion or an area where there is high heat in the foreground and any motion from wind. Setting a camera up over water is also a potential cause for this issue. To remedy this situation:

•  Try moving the camera to an area that does not have any of these obstructions.
•  the camera still hesitates to take images try placing the camera in an inside environment and aiming at a location where there is no motion.
•  If the camera continues to show issues, please contact our customer service.

Battery life is shorter than expected
Battery life will vary with operating temperature and the number of images taken over time. Typically, the camera will be able to capture several thousand images before the batteries die.

•  Check to make sure you have used new alkaline batteries.
•  Make sure that the power switch was turned to the ON position and not in the TEST modes.

Camera won’t take images

•  Please make sure that the SD card is not full. If the card is full, the camera will stop taking images.
•  Ensure the batteries are compatible alkaline.
•  Make sure that the camera power switch is in the ON position and not in the OFF or TEST modes.
• If the SD card has the write protect switch in the lock position, the camera will not take images.
• If you have used an SD card in another device before, try formatting the card.

The camera won’t power up

•  Make sure that you have installed at least a full set of 4 batteries in correct position.
•  Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly, with proper polarity.
•  After moving the switch from OFF to TEST or ON, make sure that the switch is correctly in position
•  Do not move the switch directly from ON to TEST, always move the switch all the way down to OFF first, then back up to TEST.

Still Photo and/or Video Quality Problems

• Night photos or videos appear too dark
  • Check the battery indicator icon to see if battery power is full.
  • The flash will stop operating near the end of the battery life.
  • You will get the best results when the subject is within the ideal flash range, no farther than 20m.
  • Please note that when the Capture Number parameter is set higher than “1 Photo”, or with very short Interval settings, some images may appear darker than others due to the quick response and rapid retriggering of the camera, allowing less time for the flash to fully recharge before firing again.

Daytime photos or videos appear too dark
Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other light sources during the day.

Night photos or videos appear too bright
Subjects may appear too bright at closer distances.

Daytime photos or videos appear too bright
Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other light sources during the day.

Photos with streaked subject

•  In some cases with low lighting conditions and fast moving subjects, the 12MP or 16MP resolution settings may not perform as well as the 8MP setting.
• If you have multiple images where fast moving subjects produce streaks on the photo, try the 8MP setting instead.

Short video clips-not recording to the length set

•  Check to make sure that the SD card is not full.
•  Make sure that the camera has good batteries in it. Near the end of the battery life, the camera may choose to record shorter video clips to conserve power.

Date/Time Stamp not appearing on images
Make sure that the Time Stamp parameter is set to ‘On’.

PIR Sensor LED Flashes/Doesn’t Flash

•  When the camera is in the TEST mode, a special LED on the front of the camera will flash when it senses motion. This is for setup purposes only and will help the user aim the camera.
•  During use, the LED will not flash when the camera takes an image. This is to help keep the camera hidden from game. .

Camera won’t retain settings

Make sure that you have been saving the changes to any parameter settings that you made while in Setup mode, by pressing OK after changing the setting.

Moisture or ants inside Camera

•  To ensure humidity or rain is kept out of the camera, secure the DC In plug firmly in place.
•  Ants can be attracted by low level electronic vibrations, and enter through any gaps between the exterior and interior of the camera. Make sure the DC In plug is securely attached.
