Camera Operations

Power Supply
4 or 8 AA batteries high-density, high-performance rechargeable or non- rechargeable alkaline batteries are recommended. You can also use NiMH batteries as well, but each battery should be above 1.5V.

SD Card Information
To take full advantage of the latest technologies, we recommend Class 10 SD cards or better, which have fast transfer speeds and long durability for extensive shooting in the most extreme outdoor conditions. Some SD cards are Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) PRO cards, which only work with SDHC compatible devices. Please check that your product is compatible with SDHC cards.

• Insert the SD card into the camera before turning on the camera
  This camera supports up to a 64GB capacity SD card, and has no built-in internal memory. The camera will not function without the SD card properly inserted into the camera.

•  Make sure the SD card is unlocked before inserting it into the camera

•  If you experience any problems with an inserted SD card, try reformatting the SD card through the camera’s main settings option.

Camera Modes
The different modes are according to the position of the power switch. The three basic operation modes as below:

OFF Mode

Switching the camera to the OFF position turns the camera off. The camera will still consume a small amount of power while in “OFF” mode. It is recommended to remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for a long period of time.

ON Mode

Switching the camera to ON position turns the camera on. When movement occurs within the monitored region, the camera will take pictures or record videos automatically according to the previous programmed settings. After switching the camera to the ON position, the motion indication LED (red) will blink for about 10 seconds. This time interval is for you to position the camera for automatic surveillance operation.

SETUP Mode

Switching the camera to the SETUP position allows you customize your camera settings or play back pictures and videos the camera has taken on the LCD display. The camera will automatically shut down after a few minutes of no operation.

Trigger Modes
There are 3 trigger modes for the cameras.
PIR trigger: PIR trigger is constantly working when the camera is on. The camera takes photos/videos only when motion is detected. Time lapse: The time lapse default setting is OFF by default. If the timer trigger interval is manually set to a non-zero value, the cameras start to work at a preset interval.

PIR & Timer trigger: If you want both PIR trigger and time lapse, you need to set PIR trigger to “normal, high or low ” sensitivities according to the external environments. Be sure to also set the time lapse to a desired non- zero value. The cameras will capture pictures or videos in preset time intervals even if there is no motion detected, and will capture pictures and videos when motion is detected.
*Time Lapse and PIR Trigger cannot be set to off at the same time.

Additional PIR settings to note:

PIR Interval
This setting indicates how long the PIR sensor will be disabled after each camera triggering. During this time the PIR sensor will not react to any detected motion.

It is recommended to use HIGH sensitivity in areas with little environmental interference and for warmer, humid climates. Use LOW sensitivity for areas that have a lot of interference. The sensitivity of the PIR is affected by temperature. Higher temperatures lead to a lower sensitivity.

Please note that if Time Lapse

is set to off, then PIR Trigger can’t be set to off .

Default: Normal

PIR Detection Zone

The PIR’s detection range can reach 70ft in an open environment. The following picture shows this camera’s PIR detection range compared to standard PIR detection range.

The PIR detection angle (α) is smaller than the field of view angle (β). The advantage of this design is to reduce empty picture rates and capture most, if not all, motion detected.
