Description of Operating mode

1. Calibrate the installation position of camera

In the test mode, the best shooting angle and range of the camera can be calculated.

- When calibrating, you can check the LED indicator lights of the PIR Sensors for help during calibration.

●The steps to calibrate the camera position are as follows:

1.1 Tie the camera to a tree or an object of 1-2m high, adjust the direction of the camera's lens.

1.2 If the indicator light of the corresponding PIR sensor is on, it means that the PIR sensor has detected a moving object. In this way, the best position for installing the camera can be calculated.

1.3 The indicator light will be on only when the sensor detects moving objects in the test mode, and the LED will be off in monitoring mode.

1.4 Ensure that the camera will not be interfered unnecessarily when it is working, and avoid direct sunlight near the branches.

1. Normal operation mode

●In this mode, the camera is triggered by the sensor and enters the life

mode when the switch is on. After 5 seconds, the LED lights will be off and the camera will start to operate independently and enter the standby mode. Once an animal enters the detection area and detected by the PIR sensor, the camera will be activated and detect the motion track. If the object continues to move to the detection area detected by the main sensor, the camera will automatically take pictures and video. If the animal leaves the area detected by the sensor, the camera will turn off and return to standby mode.

3. Night mode

- At night, the infrared LED light will turn on automatically to provide necessary lighting. The LED light will illuminate objects with a range of about 3-20 meters. If the objects are too close to the camera, it may cause overexposure.

●In the night mode, the shot image can only display black or white. When recording video for a long time, low voltage may have a great impact on the stability of the machine, so do not record video at night when the power is low.

Note: The camera is used at night. When the battery voltage is low, the current will increase due to the infrared light emitting. Low-voltage operation may have a great impact on the stability of the machine. The camera cannot take pictures/videos or capture very dark images. But does not affect daytime photography or video recording.

Image / data output

1. TV connection

This camera can transmit video to external monitor or TV, please follow the instructions below:

●Turn on the TV and connect the TV to the camera with AV data cable.

●Turn on the camera and turn the switch to "setup".

●After successful connection, the camera will enter the playback mode, and the LCD screen will turn black, and the captured picture will be displayed on the TV screen.

1. Connect to your computer to download photos/videos

●After the camera is connected to the computer and enters the removable disk mode, a removable disk will be added in the "My Computer" window. Taken photos or videos will be stored in the "DCIM\100MEDIA" directory on the removable disk. You can enter this directory to copy files to your computer hard disk.

Note: Do not disconnect the data cable during file downloading to avoid data loss, and do not plug or unplug the memory card when connected.
