Power supply

Internal supply
The camera can be operated using either AA batteries or 18650 lithium-ion rechargeable batteries.
!!IMPORTANT!! The type of batteries being used must be entered in the “Settings” section of the camera menu. Failure to do so can significantly decrease battery performance.
AA batteries
Alkali batteries or lithium batteries can be used. We recommend operating the camera with lithium batteries. They typically provide sufficient voltage even at low temperatures. AA rechargeable batteries
AA rechargeable batteries provide lower voltage at very low temperatures and are not recommended for cameras with 8 AA batteries.
18650 – lithium-ion rechargeable batteries
When using 18650 rechargeable batteries, it is ESSENTIAL that you enter the type of battery in the “Settings” section of the camera menu. Failure to do so can significantly decrease battery performance.

External power supply
Use only our ICUserver products as an external power source (shop.icuserver.com)). The use of other power sources can invalidate the guarantee. We recommend removing the batteries when an external power source is used.

Important note

• To prevent the deletion of all system data, turn your camera OFF before changing the batteries or SD card or when plugging in or unplugging the external power supply.
• After a RESET the camera must be restarted (turn off and on).
• Please note that setting a higher image quality for sent images (Menu: “Mobile” – “Image send size”) will cause more of your COINS to be used.
• Avoid switching immediately from “ON” to “SETUP”.
• Ensure that you insert the batteries with the correct polarity (-/+).
• If the camera will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent them from leaking.
• An external 12V / 1 – 2A DC mains adapter with a suitable plug can be used instead of batteries. Ensure that this has the correct voltage. We recommend removing the batteries when a mains adapter is used.
• Do not immerse the camera in water or expose it too acidic or basic environments.
• Avoid placing pressure on or touching the PIR motion sensor.
• Always keep the camera clean, particularly the lens and battery compartment.
• Objects such as leaves, cords, or ties within the scope of the motion sensor can unintentionally trigger photos/videos.
• To avoid unwanted photos or videos, do not point the camera at hot objects, air conditioning units, air vents, the surface of the water, or light.

The ICUserver COIN system Image sending
Payment for image sending is made via COINs. You automatically receive 100 COINs with the purchase of the camera. For each S-image or M-image that is sent, one COIN will be subtracted from your inventory. Please note that setting a higher image quality for sent images will use a greater quantity of COINS. In case of poor mobile data reception, we recommend the setting “S image”. You can check your COINs inventory in your personal customer account. COINs can be purchased from the shop https://entericuserver.cornishoix

Initial start-up

Insert SD card

The camera can accept SD cards with a capacity of up to 32 GB. Before you insert or remove the memory card, the camera must be turned off (ON/OFF switch to “OFF”).
Mount the antenna
Screw the antenna into place securely but without force.
The camera has 3 operating modes
OFF mode — the camera is turned off; it can be connected to another oc., vice (computer or laptop) via a USB port.
ON mode — the camera automatically takes photos/videos (according to the current parameter settings) when the passive IR sensor detects motion and triggers the camera. SETUP mode – the camera settings can be changed and the images and videos saved to the camera’s SD card can be viewed.

Capture and playback of photos and videos

• In setup mode, you can switch between photo and video mode using▲
• Select “▶” to begin or end image/video capture.
• Press “OK” in setup mode to access playback mode, then “▲” or “▼” to scroll through the photos/videos. You can view videos with “▶” and stop playback with “▶” followed by “▲”.
• Exit playback mode by pressing “OK” once again.

Name| The camera name can be set or changed here. The name is used to identify the camera and is displayed on the photos.
---|---
Mode| Photo (= standard) The camera takes photos based on the capture number and image resolution settings. Video:  The camera films a video based on the video length and resolution settings.
Photo & video: When triggered, the camera first takes a photo, then films a video based on the capture number, video length, and resolution settings.
Image resolution| SMP (2560’1920) (= standard),
8 MP (3264’2448),12 MP (40001‘3000)
Night quality| Max. quality: Short exposure time to improve image quality by minimizing blurriness caused by movement, but reduced IR flash range.
Balanced (= standard): Combination of max. quality and max. range.
Max. range: Longer exposure time to increase the IR flash range for better night vision, but lower image quality.
Capture number| 1 (= standard) can be set for up to 9 images per trigger. The first image in a series will be sent.
Video resolution| FHD: 1920’1080 (= standard), HD: 1280′1720, VGA: 6401‘360

SENSOR

Sensor ON/OFF| On (= standard) The camera is triggered by movement.
Off: The camera is not triggered by movement.
---|---
Sensitivity| Auto (= standard) / Low / Normal / High

Higher sensitivity means that the sensor reacts more sensitively to the movement of smaller objects; greater capture distance; the sensor can better distinguish between body heat and outdoor temperatures and the camera is triggered more easily. With the “auto” setting, the sensor automatically adjusts to the outdoor temperature.

Work time| If no work time is set (off = standard), the camera will always be triggered when in active mode.
If a work time is set (on), the camera will only be triggered during the timeframe specified in the camera settings. The work time can be set by confirming “on” with the “OK” button. You can change the settings using the UP/DOWN buttons. Use the LEFT/RIGHT buttons to switch to the next field to set the desired timeframe. If a work time is set, the camera will only be triggered during the timeframe specified in the camera settings.
Trigger interval| Determines the length of time between two photos being taken (incl. sending time), from 1 second to 60 minutes (standard 10 seconds). Note: please do not set the time-lapse and trigger interval to “ON” at the same time.
Time-lapse| Off (= standard)
On: Change the setting to “ON” and press “OK” to set the interval. Two periods of time (A and B) can be configured;  please ensure that they do not overlap.
When time-lapse is set the camera’s PIR sensor will be turned off. The camera will automatically capture photos or videos in accordance with the time periods A and B as well as the interval (standard 5 minutes) set by the user. Configurable interval:1minute to 24 hours
