1. Aligning the camera

In the test (SETUP) mode, you can calculate the optimal shooting angle and camera range of the camera.

1.1 During alignment consider whether the use of the side motion sensors may be useful for attaining the desired observation results.
1.2 Align the camera as follows:
1.2.1 Fasten the camera to a tree or similar object at a height of 1-2 meters and align the camera in the desired direction. Then move slowly from one side of the target area to the other side. While doing this, monitor the motion display LEDs.
1.2.2 If this lights up in blue, you have been detected by one of the activated side motion sensors. If it lights up in red, you have been detected by the front motion sensor. In this way, you can work out the best alignment for the camera.
1.2.3 The motion display only lights up when operating mode selector switch is in the SETUP position and one of the motion sensors has detected movement. During normal operation, there will be no LED display in this area.
1.2.4 Make sure that the camera is not subject to unnecessary interference while it is working. Keep away from direct sunlight, hot objects or near branches. The sensor's detection range is about 120 degrees, and the lens can shoot about 90 degrees.

2. Normal working mode

In this mode, shooting is triggered by the sensor. Enter the monitor mode by switching to "ON" position, and the LED will go out after 5 seconds. The camera starts to operate independently and enters standby mode. Once an animal enters the detection area detected by the secondary sensor, the camera will be activated and motion will be detected. If the object continues to move to the area detected by the main sensor, the camera will automatically take a picture or video. If the animal leaves the area detected by the sensor, the camera will turn off and return to standby state.

3. Night working mode

3.1 During night the infrared LEDs on the front of the camera provide the required light for taking pictures. The LEDs make the camera to shoot pictures within 3m - 20m . However, reflective objects can cause overexposure.

3.2 Please note that pictures taken in night are black and white. When recording a video for a long time, the low voltage may have great influence on the stability of the camera. So in case of the low voltage, it better not to record in the evening.

1. TV connections

The camera can transfer the video signal to an external monitor or the video input of a television set. Please also follow the instructions of the respective playback device.

1.1 Open the TV, connect the TV with the camera through data cable.
1.2 Open the camera, and slide the operating mode selector switch to "SETUP".
1.3 After a successful connection, the camera is connected to the TV, the LCD screen will turn black, and the captured picture will be displayed on the TV screen.

2. Transferring recordings to a computer

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. The captured photos or videos are stored in the "DCIM" directory of the removable disk. There are two folders: MOVIE stores the captured video files, PHOTO stores the captured image files; enter these two directories to copy the file to your computer's hard disk.

Note: In case of data loss, please don't disconnect the cable or take out the memory card when copying photos/videos.
