Frequently Asked Questions - WLC002 Perel

How to install batteries and memory card?

Open the battery compartment on the back of the camera. Insert 4 AA/LR6 batteries respecting polarity. Then, insert a formatted TF (microSD) memory card, class 6 or higher, up to 32 GB, into the slot. Make sure the write protection is unlocked. Never remove the card when the camera is on.

What to do if the camera does not turn on?

Check that the batteries are correctly installed with the correct polarity and are not discharged. If battery level is low, connect a 6 V/1.5 A mains adapter (not included). Also ensure that a memory card is inserted, as the camera does not work without a card.

How to adjust motion detector sensitivity?

In the setup menu, select 'Motion sensor sensitivity'. Choose between Low, Medium or High. Outdoors in normal conditions, use 'Medium'. In cold weather or difficult conditions, set to 'Low' or 'High' according to the manual's recommendations.

How to activate night mode?

Night mode activates automatically when brightness is low. The IR LEDs (850 nm) turn on to illuminate up to 20 m. For better quality, ensure the camera is powered with sufficient voltage (new batteries or adapter). Beware of reflective objects that may overexpose the image.

What is the maximum motion detection distance?

The PIR detector has a range of 20 meters and a detection angle of 40°. The infrared capture distance can be set in the menu to Close, Medium or Far.

How to transfer files to a computer?

Two methods: remove the memory card and insert it into a card reader, or connect the camera to the computer via USB cable. Turn on the camera, the screen shows 'MISC'. On the computer, open the removable disk and copy files from the DCIM folder.

What to do if the camera does not detect motion?

Check that the mode selector is ON and not TEST. Make sure sensitivity is set correctly. Clean the motion detector window. Avoid placing the camera behind glass. The trigger time is about 0.4 to 0.5 s.

How to format the memory card?

In the setup menu, select 'Format memory card'. Confirm with 'Yes'. This erases all data. It is recommended to format before first use or if the card has been used in another device. Use a class 6 or higher card.

Can I use the camera indoors?

Yes, but the detector sensitivity should be set to Low to avoid false triggers. The camera is designed for outdoor use (IP66), but it can be used indoors without issues. Make sure to mount it securely.

How to reset the camera to factory settings?

In the menu, select 'Reset settings' and confirm with 'On'. This erases all settings, including the password and serial number. If you have forgotten your password, this option is the only way to reset it.
