A DC 6V/2A external power supply adapter (not included) can also, be used to power the camera.
2.2 SD Card Information
Insert the SDcard 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.
The camera will operate properly with a locked SD card inserted, but the card will not be able to store captured images or videos taken by the camera.
Do not remove the SD card while the camera is on.
Removing the SD card while the camera is on risks damaging the internal components of the camera.
If you experience any problems with an inserted SD card, try reformatting the SD card using the camera’s main settings option.

2.3 Camera Mode
ON Mode
The camera will capture pictures or videos when motion is detected and/or at specific time intervals, according to the programmed settings. After switching the camera to the ON position, the motion indicator LED(red) will blink for about 10 seconds and then turn off. This delay time allows you to adjust the camera position if needed before the camera becomes active.
SETUP Mode
Customize the camera settings, or playback pictures and videos the camera has taken on the LCD display.
OFF Mode
Turns off the camera. The camera will still consume a small amount of battery power while in the OFF mode. It is recommended to remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for a long period of time.
2.4 Trigger Mode
PIR Triggering: The default setting is on. If PIR Triggering is on, the camera is only active when motion is detected. If PIR sensitivity is set to OFF, the camera stops responding to the motion.
Timer Triggering: The default setting is OFF, which means timer triggering is disabled. When the timer triggering interval is set to a non-zero value, the camera starts to work at a preset interval. Users need to set the PIR sensitivity to OFF if they want the camera to work only at preset intervals.
PIR and Timer Triggering: For both PIR triggering and Timer triggering, users need to set PIR sensitivity to low, normal, or high according to the external environment, and set the Timer interval to a desired non-zero value. The camera will capture pictures or videos in a preset time interval even if there is no motion detected. The camera will also capture pictures and videos if motion is detected.

Troubleshooting

PIR Detection Zone

This camera has a new PIR, which is patented. The new PIR’s detection range can reach 100ft. in good environments. The following picture compares the detection zone between the normal and new PIR. The PIR detection angle (α) is smaller than the field of view (FOV) angle (β). The advantage of this design is to reduce the empty picture rate and capture most, if not all, motions.
