Aligning the camera

In test mode, you can work out the optimum exposure angle and range of the motion sensor. During alignment consider whether the use of the side motion sensor maybe is useful for attaining the desired observation results.

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 it lights up in red, you have been detected by the motion sensor. In this case, 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 SETUP position and one of the motion sensors has detected movement. During normal operation, there will be no LED display in this area. -To ensure that the camera doesn’t make unwanted recordings of irrelevant movements, it should not be set up in a sunny location or close to branches. The detecting range of the sensors is 110°. And the recording angle of the camera is about 100 degrees.

Normal working mode
Slide the operating mode selector from SETUP to ON position, after 5 seconds, the LED of motion display will go off and it will go into standby mode. In this mode, the camera only takes pictures or records video when an alarm is triggered by objects. As soon as any wild animals or similar objects enter the detecting range of the side motion sensors, the camera will be activated and detect the motion. If the wild animals keep moving to the detecting range of the central sensor zone, the camera will start capturing photos and/or sending videos(depending on the configuration). -After the wild animal moves out of the detecting range of side motion sensors, the camera switches off and goes back into standby mode.
Night working mode

• During night exposures the infrared LEDs on the front of the camera provide the required light for taking pictures. The range of the LEDs makes the camera start shooting, you have been detected by one of the activated side motion pictures within 3m-20m. However, reflecve objects can cause overexposure.
• Please note that pictures taken in night exposures are black and white. When recording video for a long time, the low voltage may have a great influence on the stability of the camera. So in the case of the low voltage, it is better not to record in the evening. Note: When using the camera at night, the electric current would increase because of the working of infrared lamps. If the camera is on a low battery, it would not shoot photos or film videos at night. Meanwhile, once daylight is available, the camera works normally even on a low battery.
