INTRODUCTION OF IMPORTANT PARAMETERS

Video Length
Default 5 seconds. 5″-180″ available.
Select the duration of the video as needed. Please pay attention to that when recording manually in the Setup mode, the camera will stop recording after 29 minutes/ the video size reaches 4GB / the memory card is full/ the battery is in low power.
Notice: The power consumption of 10s video recording is the same as 150 photos. Therefore please record the video according to the actual situation to extend battery life.
PIR Interval
5″-59’59″available for Photo mode, 10″-59’59″available for Video mode.
After the selected interval, only when the animal enters the detection range, the camera will be triggered and take a picture. Shorter intervals and higher shooting frequencies will consume power faster.
H5 Camera’s PIR Photography Principle
In the detection range, if the camera detects a temperature change, the camera will automatically take photos after PIR interval. If the camera doesn’t detect the temperature change, it won’t take photos.

The camera can’t be turned on| 1. Please check whether the batteries are installed in a proper way.
2. Check if the battery capacity is low or exhausted.
If it is, please replace it with 8x 1.5V brand new AA batteries.
3. Check if the switch has been adjusted to the ‘ON’ mode. Switch to the ‘SETUP’ mode for parameter setting. After setting, switch to the ‘ON’ mode and the screen will turn off when the 5s countdown ends and enter the working mode.
4. If SD Card and SD Card adapter have something wrong, the camera will also not work normally.
---|---
The camera turns off automatically| 1. Please check whether the battery capacity is low or exhausted. If it is, try to change new batteries for outdoor use or connect a 6V DC adapter(the power interface is 3.51.35mm) for indoor use.
2. If SD Card and SD Cardholder have something wrong, the camera will also turn off.
It shows ‘SD card Error’| 1. Please ensure that the SD card is with class 10 standard or higher level.
2. Please format the SD card on the computer first and format it again when it is inserted intothe camera.
3. Please replace another SD card.
Videos are choppy or jumpy when played on a computer| 1. Try to use different media players such as VLC players.
2. Ensure AVI format Video clip can be played on your computer.
The image is not clear| 1. Please set the resolution to high.
2. Shorten the shooting distance.
3. Please don’t take photos in rainy or foggy weather.
4. Please ensure that you have removed the protective films on IR LEDs and lenses before using them.
The camera does not take photos or record videos| 1. Please check if the battery’s power is too low.
2. Make sure you have inserted the SD card(class 10 or higher, up to  28GB), and the SD card is successfully formatted.
3. Confirm the switch has been adjusted to the ‘ON’ mode. When the 5s countdown ends, the screen will turn off to enter working mode, then
the camera needs to wait for a PIR interval time’ (depends on your setting) before it officially enters the standby state. At this time, it will start shooting or video recording according to the environmental temperature change.
4. Every time a photo/recording is completed, the camera will enter a static non-triggered state. The specific duration is determined by the ‘PIR interval time’. In this state, the camera will not take pictures or record videos until the ‘PIR interval time’ ends.
5. Confirm the usage scenario. The smaller animal needs to be closer to the camera to trigger.
The night vision effect is poor| 1. Check whether the battery is low. The night shot requires turning on IR LEDs, thus it will consume more battery power. Therefore, if the battery is insufficient, the night vision effect will be poor or even the night vision will not work. In this case, please check whether the battery is l.SV(do not use 1.2V rechargeable batteries, sometimes even a brand new battery will not work due to insufficient voltage).
2. In the field, the camera relies on IR LEDs to take photos or videos. If the subject(such as distant plants and small animals) is in a far distance,
the photo or video will be fuzzy. Therefore, we recommend that the camera be installed at about 5 meters of the active range of the subject(the
smaller size of the object, the closer the distance is required).
The wifi connection between App and the camera is stuck/
disconnected?| Due to the high repetition rate of 2.4GHz Wifi frequency, it has potential problems of interference.
The camera has a possibility to be interfered with by other devices( other routers, microwave ovens, Refrigerators, and other electrical appliances),
which leads to the WiFi signal reduction or easily disconnected. Please use the wifi hunting camera where there are few interference sources.

Notice: Specification could be subject to modification due to updating. Please regard the actual product as the standard form.
