2. Camera Operations
2.1 Power Supply
4 or 8 AA batteries high-density, high-performance
rechargeable or non-rechargeable alkaline batteries
are recommended. You can also use NiMH batteries
as well, but each battery should be above 1.5V.
A DC 6-Volt, 2 Amp external power supply adapter
can also be used to power the camera (not
included).
NOTE: when using only 4 AA batteries, insert them
using the 3 top positions along with the first bottom
position (the left position) or the last 4 bottom positions
(the right 4 positions).
2.2 SD Card Information
To take full advantage of the latest technologies, we
recommend Class 10 SD cards or better, which have
fast transfer speeds and long durability for
extensive shooting in the most extreme outdoor
conditions. Some SD cards are Secure Digital High
Capacity (SDHC) PRO cards, which only work with
SDHC compatible devices. Please check that your
product is compatible with SDHC cards.
Insert the SD card into the camera before
turning on the camera

This camera supports up to a 32GB capacity SD
card, and has no built-in internal memory. The
camera will not function without the SD card
properly inserted into the camera.
Make sure the SD card is unlocked before
inserting it into the camera
If you experience any problems with an
inserted SD card, try reformatting the SD
card through the camera’s main settings
option.
2.3 Camera Modes
The different modes are according to the position of
the power switch. The three basic operation modes
as below:
OFF Mode
Switching the camera to the OFF position turns
the camera off. The camera will still consume a
small amount of power while in “OFF” mode. It is
recommended to remove the batteries if the
camera will not be used for a long period of time.
ON Mode
Switching the camera to ON position turns the
camera on. When movement occurs within the
monitored region, the camera will take pictures or
record videos automatically according to the
previous programmed settings. After switching

back pictures and videos the camera has taken on

2.6 Trigger Modes
There are 3 trigger modes for the cameras.
PIR trigger: PIR trigger is constantly working
when the camera is on. The camera takes
photos/videos only when motion is detected.
Time lapse: The time lapse default setting is OFF
by default. If the timer trigger interval is manually
set to a non-zero value, the cameras start to work at
a preset interval.
PIR & Timer trigger: If you want both PIR
trigger and time lapse, you need to set PIR
trigger to “normal, high or low ”sensitivities
according to the external environments. Be sure to
also set the time lapse to a desired non-zero value.
The cameras will capture pictures or videos in
preset time intervals even if there is no motion
detected, and will capture pictures and videos when
motion is detected.
*Time Lapse and PIR Trigger cannot be set to off at the same time.
Additional PIR settings to note:
PIR Interval
This setting indicates how long the PIR sensor will
be disabled after each camera triggering. During
this time the PIR sensor will not react to any
detected motion.
