Product Introduction

If you see a red flash when you take a photo, please move the switch from “TEST” to “ON”.
After you turn the switch from “TEST” to “ON”, you will observe a countdown from 15 seconds. After that, the screen will shut down. That is completely normal. You can walk in front of the camera to check if it takes photos and videos.
Do not dip the camera in water.
The camera can work in temperatures to up to 70 °C, but please keep the camera far enough from fire to protect the batteries.
Alkaline batteries are recommended because alkaline batteries are able to provide strong and stable power to the camera.
Please do not mix old batteries and new batteries.
If an DC 6V power adapter is used to supply the camera, please make sure there are no batteries in the camera in order to prevent the overcharge.

- For example, we set the 1-minute video length and 30 seconds shot lag. When the camera detects an animal, it will start to record a 1-minute video. However, the camera will not detect continuously. When the video is done, the camera will not detect immediately. It will detect again after 30 seconds in order to save the battery.
Equivalent to timer. The camera only works within the set time period.
If you use several cameras at the same time and you want to recognize which camera took which photos and videos, setting up a serial number could help you. The serial number will show in the bottom right corner of the photos or videos.
