2. Camera Operations

2.1 Batteries / Power Supply

● Battery The camera is powered by 2x18650 batteries. (pointed head,18650 battery, length: 67~69mm) - Keep lithium-ion batteries away from extreme temperatures, fire and contact with liquids. - Make sure that the lithium-ion battery is not damaged and is not ex- posed to mechanical loads. Avoid falling on the floor! Even with tiny da- mage, the battery must be replaced immediately for safety reasons. - If you discover moisture or residues, this may be the first indication of a degassing of the lithium-ion battery. Take the defective battery to the hazardous waste. - Only charge batteries under supervision. Use a suitable, high-quality charger. It should stop charging automatically when the charging voltage is reached. - Do not bring lithium-ion batteries into contact with metallic objects. Otherwise there is a risk of short circuit. Get a protective box in which you can take your batteries with you. (This means, for example, that you must not put batteries in your pocket with your car key.) - Do not use batteries after deep discharge. - Do not use damaged batteries, even if the damage is minimal. - If a battery gets hot, it is defective and should be removed and stored in a fire-proof place.30 ● External power supply It is also possible to power the device or charge the 18650 battery in the device via an external USB power supply adapter(5V/2A) or solar panel.

5. PIR Detection Zone

This camera has a new patented PIR design which allows the detection range to reach to 22 m in good environments. The following picture shows the compared detection zone between normal PIR and the new patented PIR. The PIR detection angle (α) is smaller than the field of view (FOV) (β). The advantage of this design is to reduce empty an empty picture’s rate and capture most, if not all, objects in motion. α = Detection angle β = F. O. V. Angle ■ normal PIR ■ new patented PIR49
