OVERVIEW

INSTALLATION
If Using AA-Alkaline Batteries
1. Pull the gap lightly and open the battery compartment.
2. Refer to the battery icons located on the inside of the battery
compartment. Insert the batteries according to the positive and negative
battery icons.
3. Close the battery compartment tightly to ensure water and dust
resistance.
Note: Installing any AA battery in the wrong direction may cause the
batteries to leak acid or explode, causing camera failure and damage to the
battery compartment.
If Using 6V DC Power Source
1. Remove the rubber port cap at the bottom of the camera. Plug a universal
6V DC cord into the bottom port.
2. Run the cord to the side of the camera where there is a hook provided
behind the hinge of the camera door. This will support the power cord and take
pressure off of the connection point.
3. When not in use, replace the rubber port cap at the bottom of the camera
to protect the 6V DC universal plug-in port.
Memory Card Installation
1. Insert the Micro SD card with the contacts facing away. The Micro SD card
should slide in freely with little resistance. Continue pressing the card
inward until you hear a click. This means the Micro SD card is locked in place
and ready for use.
2. To remove the Micro SD card, press the card inwards to release.
OPERATION
Quick start
Slide the mode switch from OFF to TEST position to activate the camera and
view the user setup screen.
There is a control panel with 8 keys when you open the camera.
Operating Buttons
Auto Recording Mode
After entering settings, slide the power switch to ON to enter auto recording mode. The motion indicator will flash red for about 5 seconds, after which the camera will start working. It will automatically take pictures or record videos when a person or animal enters the area of the PIR sensor.
Caution: To avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances, do not aim the camera at a heat source (e.g. the sun, heated stone, or metal) and remove nearby tree branches and twigs. The ideal direction to aim at is an open place to the north without nearby heat sources.
Note: Generally, it is recommended to place the camera at a height of 12 meters.

Slide the switch to “ON” to resume operation after changing settings.
Note: Images and video can only be played back/previewed while in test mode, not auto recording.
SPECIFICATIONS
TROUBLESHOOTING
The camera doesn’t capture the subject of interest
- Check the PIR sensitivity for warm environmental conditions. Set the Sensor Level to “Low”; for cold weather use, set the sensor to “High”.
- Set your camera up in an area where there are no heat resources in the camera’s field of view.
- In some cases, setting the camera near water will make the camera take images with no subject in them.
- Aim the camera overground.
- Set the camera on stable and immovable objects, i.e., large trees.
- At night, the motion detector may detect beyond the IR illumination range. You can reduce the distance by adjusting sensor sensitivity.
- The rise or setting of the sun can trigger the sensor; reorient the camera.
- If a person or animal moves quickly, it may move out of the camera’s field of view before the photo is taken. Move the camera further back or redirect the camera.
The camera stops taking images
- Ensure that the memory card has enough memory storage. If the card is full, the camera will stop taking images.
- Check batteries to make sure that alkaline, NIMH, or lithium AA batteries left power is enough for the camera to work.
- Make sure that the camera power switch is at the “ON” position and not at the “OFF” or “TEST” modes.
- Please format the memory card when you use it for the first time or use another memory card.
Night vision flash range doesn’t meet the expectation
- Although the camera will operate well with 4 x AA batteries, 8 x AA batteries will improve performance and provide better battery life during night vision.
- Ensure that batteries are fully charged or left power is enough.
- High-quality 1.5V NIMH or lithium rechargeable AA batteries can offer a superior flash range to alkaline batteries.
- To ensure the accuracy and quality of nighttime images, mount the camera in a dark environment without obvious light sources.
- Having surfaces for the flash to bounce off (trees, walls, ground, etc.) within the flash range is important to get good nighttime images. In an open field, there will be nothing for the light to reflect on and the images will be poorer.
