Introduction

FORCE-PRO-S 2.0 PRESENTATION

The SPYPOINT FORCE-PRO-S 2.0 features a solar panel charging an internal lithium battery that keeps this camera powered for months on end. The FORCE-PRO-S 2.0 records up to 4K video with sound, perfect for seeing even the smallest details in every video.
It is equipped with a full-color LCD photo and video viewing screen that not only enables easy set-up and adjustment of settings but also allows you to review and manage captured content directly from your camera.
This camera offers the longest detection range of any SPYPOINT camera and our fastest trigger speed at less than a quarter of a second, meaning it misses fewer targets than cameras with a shorter detection range and trigger speed closer to a full second.
To catch even more detail, the FORCE-PRO offers the multi-shot function which takes up to six photos per detection. 54 LED lights provide 90’ of illumination and infrared boost technology allows you to maximize lighting when it counts, so you get high-quality photos or video no matter what time of day (or night) it is captured.

Power

BATTERY LEVEL ICON
- There will be two battery icons in the upper right hand corner of the screen while the camera is in setup mode.
- The battery icon on the left represents the internal battery and the battery icon on the right represents the AA power source.
- The camera will use the internal battery before using the AA power source. If both power sources are low (showing only a single bar) the camera will continue to take photos.
- However, we strongly recommend charging the camera or replacing the AA batteries before either is drained of power. If a video is being recorded and the battery level reaches 0%, the camera saves the file before shutting down.

CHOOSING A POWER SOURCE

4 options are available to you Internal Battery:
- It will need to be charged for first use. To charge the device, use the supplied cable and plug into the 12 V port on the camera. It will take approximately 12 hours to fully charge the battery, you can check if the camera is fully charged by sliding the power switch to the “SETUP” position and looking at the battery indicator on the screen. 4 bars indicate it is fully charged.
- Alkaline or lithium AA batteries
- Rechargeable battery 12 V (#KIT-12V sold separately)
- Solar panel lithium battery 12 V (#SPLB-22 and #SPLB-10 sold separately)
- Make sure to insert the AA batteries according to their polarity (+) and (-) as shown in the battery compartment.
FOR BEST RESULTS AND NO LEAKAGE
- Use only new alkaline or lithium batteries.
- Do not mix new and old batteries.
- Do not use rechargeable AA batteries (their lower voltage can generate operational issues).
SPLB-22 OR SPLB-10: SOLAR PANEL LITHIUM BATTERY COMBO UNIT
- Combines solar panels and lithium batteries into one unit to reduce wires and setup time.
- Plugs directly into the camera to provide extensive, ongoing battery life for your camera so you can avoid visits.
- Additional jacks and plugs allow for device flexibility.
MANAGING VARIOUS CAMERA POWER SUPPLY
- If you choose to plug an external 12 V battery (#KIT-12V, sold separately) into your camera, it becomes your camera’s new primary power source.
- The AA batteries will only be used once the 12 V battery is depleted.

Memory Card

INSTALLING A MEMORY CARD
- The use of a memory card is necessary for the operation of the camera.
- It allows you to save photos and videos. For better performance, we recommend that you insert only an SD/SDHC/SDXC card with a capacity of 512 GB or less. Avoid using a microSD card with an SD adapter.
- Once the SD card reaches its storage limit, your camera will stop taking photos or videos. Replace it or transfer its content on another media.
- When the camera is turned ON and no memory card is inserted, the screen will display the message “No card”
- Here is three tables showing the approximate number of videos that can be saved, based on different memory card capacities.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEMS	POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE CAMERA ON	1. Check if the

chosen power source is fully charged.

2. If using AA, ensure they are correctly installed.

3. Replace AA batteries.

4. Install the latest update (available on www.spypoint.com under the SUPPORT section).

5. Charge the internal battery.

THE CAMERA’S SCREEN SHUTS OFF| Turn OFF the camera and turn it ON again.

THE CAMERA IS NO LONGER RESPONDING

| 1. Turn OFF the camera and turn it ON again.

2. If using AA, remove them and reinsert them.

THE CAMERA DOESN’T TAKE PICTURES/VIDEOS| 1. Make sure the camera is turned ON.

2. Check if there are batteries in the camera.

3. Replace the batteries.

4. If it is not already done, remove the protective sticker on the detection lens of your camera.

5. Format the SD card. Do not choose the “Quick format” option.

6. If none of the previous solutions works, reset the camera and the settings.

BLURRY PHOTOS| Low-lighting conditions and fast-moving subjects may produce streaks on the photo; try setting the “Night mode“ to “Min blur“.

THE RED LIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA FLASHES

| 1. During the installation, the delay light flashes for 30 seconds to allow the user to walk away without being photographed.

2. The camera is in TEST mode and detects movement.

PROBLEMS	POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
NO ONE OR NO ANIMALS ON PHOTOS/VIDEOS	1.

Make sure the camera is not pointing the sunrise or sunset, which could cause false detections.

2. At night, the motion detector can detect beyond the range of the infrared LEDs. Reduce camera sensitivity.

3. Small animals may trigger the camera. Reduce the sensitivity and/or increase the height of the camera.

4. The motion detector can detect animals through the foliage.

5. Verify if the tree against which the camera is installed is stable and does not move.

6. Make sure the area immediately in front of your camera is free of branches or twigs the wind could move. This would result in false detections.

THE CAMERA TAKES DARK PHOTOS/VIDEOS AT NIGHT| 1. Verify the charge level of the batteries, as the night lighting may be malfunctioning if the charge level is low.

2. Make sure the subject is within range of the night lighting (approximately 80 feet).

3. To get better photos at night, try setting the “Night mode“ to “Boost“ to increase the strength of the infrared LEDs.

4. Make sure there are elements in the background for the light of the infrared LEDs to reflect on.

5. Test the night lighting in a dark room to see if you can get good- quality photos in black and white.

THE CAMERA TAKES BLACK PHOTOS/VIDEOS| 1. Check the battery level to see if battery power is full as the flash will stop operating near the end of the battery life, especially if you’re recording a video.

2. Make sure there are elements in the background for the light of the infrared LEDs to reflect on.

3. Test the night lighting in a dark room to see if you can get good quality photos in black and white.

Disposal

ONLY USE ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES.
If, one day, your camera has been used so intensively that it has to be replaced, or if you no longer have any use for it, you are obliged to dispose of it at a recycling center.
Information on return points for your electrical appliance can be obtained from your local waste disposal company or your local administrative offices.
Electrical appliances not only contain valuable recyclable raw materials but also substances that, if disposed of improperly, can affect public health and the environment. Help ensure that valuable raw materials are recycled by returning your old appliance to a central collection point.
The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) symbol represents the obligation for the labeled camera to be sent to a separate center for the proper recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. $SPYPOINT-FORCE-PRO-S-2-0-Trail-Camera-fig-1 $17$$
