1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing one of our easy operation highly qualified products. You
now may enjoy the excellences reflected on this series product. This 12MP FHD di-
gital camera was totally R&D by our diligent and smart engineers based on feed-
backs and requirements from customers globally. May you also enjoy and adore
this product as we do. And our company is always open-minded with willing to
adopt creative ideas from you.
1.1 Fully Functionality Introduction
Besides all the functions you may experience from any other similar products. This
digital camera is aimed to offer user the most friendly using experience with many
extraordinary features, like 100° FOV lens, 56pcs 60° IR LEDs, 0.4 seconds trigger
time, and 1 burst within 1second multi-shot, user friendly operational menu, etc.
1.2 Application
This digital camera is an ideal product for housing security, warehouse surveillance,
and monitoring wild animals with its camouflage appearance and nice shape. It is
convenient to install or fasten, could be used to take photographs manually and
carry on long-time videos in Test mode.
a. Instant surveillance camera for home, office, construction site, and warehouse,
etc
b. Motion-triggered infra-red night vision surveillance;
c. Animal observation and hunting;
1.3 Power Supply
A. Batteries
amera runs on 8 AA size batteries (12V power supply to ensure camera well per-
formance of all functions); can work with alkaline, high-quality NiMH, and Lithium
rechargeable batteries. But we suggest to run camera with NiMH and Lithium bat-
teries only as performance of alkaline batteries is much poorer than either NiMH
or Lithium batteries.
Batteries should be inserted as indicated inside the battery case. Upside down
batteries electrode may cause device malfunction. Also, we strongly recommend
changing the batteries when power icon on camera screen or photo stamp is
empty.
Note: Don’t mix batteries types! Different batteries to be used in camera may
cause permanent damage which also violates warranty policy!
Due to different settings, objects activities within camera detection zone, different
brands and quality of batteries, and using environment, etc; we’re not able to list
out exact number of photos and videos that camera can achieve. So given table
below only shows approximate number of photos or videos camera can take with
8AA alkaline batteries; better performance can be given by 8 AA rechargeable NiMH
and Lithium batteries.

B. SolarPanel
To bring users better using experience, our engineers designed this camera to be
able to work with most standard 12V/1~2 A lithium battery build-in solar panels.
However, as rechargeable AA NiMH or lithium batteries need higher voltage for
charging that solar panel can’t charge the batteries in using in camera batteries
cases.
C. PowerAdaptor—Security Surveillance Purpose
This camera can also be powered by an external 12V/ 1~2A D adapter. Recom-
mend to remove the AA size batteries when power adapter is used. Electrical power
is recommended for security purposes.
1.4 SD Card Selection
Using a memory card is required to operate the camera. When the camera is "ON"
and no memory card is used, the screen displays "Pls insert memory card". The
SD slot of the camera has a 32 GB memory capacity. Before inserting or removing
the memory card, the camera must be turned "OFF". Failing to do so may cause
loss of or damage the pictures already recorded from the memory card. When the
SD card is full, the viewing screen indicates "Memory Full". The following data
shows an approximate quantity of photos which can be recorded by the camera
depending on the memory card capacity.
hart below will show you the approximate capacity of different size SD cards. Pls
check to see which size card can fit your needs best.

When camera is connected via USB cable; screen display “MSD “, press “Menu“once,
“MSD “turns to “P am“, camera now can be used as a P camera; press 2Menu“
again, camera exits P camera mode.
1.6 Attention
1. Insert the SD memory card correctly, camera does not support SD card hot swap (inser-
tion).
2. Please use high-quality AA batteries in order to prevent battery cells from corrosion of
leaked acid.
3. Use right adaptor (12V/1A or 2A) of this camera to supply power, and do not invert the
electrode when put in batteries.
4. In Test mode, camera will automatically enter PIR Auto mode if no keypad touching within
60 sec. Please manually turn ON it as if you want to do some further configuration.
5. Don’t interrupt power supply during system upgrade, please deliver it back to factory if
the device doesn’t work after upgrading.
6. Do not frequently insert or pull out SD card and battery or plug in and out the adaptor
when the camera is on.
7. Do not have any floating objects, such as leaves, strings, or ribbons in the 3M motion de-
tection zone of cameras, to avoid mistaking photograph or videos.
8. Do not keep camera next to hot irrelevant objects, air conditioner exhaust vents, and light,
etc. to avoid mistaking photos or videos.
9. amera is with a 100° FOV lens which means more flash is needed to get better night
time images than the average 52° FOV lens from market; that’s why 56pcs 60° IR LEDs are
used on this camera. But to ensure these 56pcs IR LEDs can give enough flash to back the
wide angle lens up that high qualified AA batteries must be applied accordingly to deliver
enough amperage to power the illuminator consistently in dark environments.
10. Programmed Date/Time can be saved in camera for 12 hours once camera was powered
1 hour above.

6. Trouble Shooting
6.1 Photos Do Not Capture Subject of Interest
1. heck the ”Sensor Level” (PIR sensitivity) parameter setting. For warm environ-
mental conditions, set the Sensor Level to ”High” and for cold weather use, set the
sensor for ”Low”.
2. Try to set your camera up in an area where no heat resources are in the camera’s
field of view.
3. In some cases, set the camera near water will make the camera take images
with no subject in them. Try to aim the camera over ground.
4. Try to set camera on stable and immovable objects, i.e.: large trees.
5. At night, motion detector may detect beyond range of the IR illumination. Reduce
distance setting by adjusting sensor sensitivity.
7. Rising sun or sunset can trigger sensor. amera must be reoriented.
8. If person/animal moves quickly, it may move out of the camera’s field of view be-
fore photo is taken. Move camera further back or redirect camera.
6.2 Camera Stops Taking Images or Won’t Take Images
1. Please make sure that the SD card is not full. If the card is full, camera will stop
taking images. Or user can turn on ycle Recording to avoid such problem.
2. heck batteries to make sure that alkaline, NiMH or lithium AA batteries left
power is enough for camera to work.
3. Make sure that the camera power switch is in the ”On” position and not in the
”Off” or ”Test” modes.
4. When GPRS function is on, there will be around 1 minute interval for camera to
send out photo before camera shooting the next photo. Turn off the GPRS, camera
can shoot photos continuously.
5. Please format the SD card with camera before using or when camera stops ta-
king images.
6.3 Night Vision Flash Range Doesn’t Meet Expectation
1. 4pcs AA batteries is not able to support camera night vision ability; please install
8 pcs AA batteries;
2. Please check to make sure that batteries are fully charged or left power is
enough;

32
3. Max Range offers better IR flash range. Given IR flash range values are based
on Max Range setting; so please adjust Night Mode to Max Range for better night
vision flash range;
4. High-quality 1.5V NiMH or Lithium rechargeable AA batteries can also offer much
better IR flash range; alkaline batteries cannot deliver enough amperage to power
the illuminator consistently at night;
5. To ensure accuracy and quality of night time image, please mount camera to dark
environment without any obvious light sources;
6. A certain surroundings (like trees, walls, ground, etc.) within flash range can get
you better night time images; please do not aim camera to total open field where
there is nothing within IR flash range to reflect flash back; it’s like shinning a flash-
light into sky in night, you just can’t see anything; same does camera;
6.4 Photos Do Not Capture Subject of Interest
1. heck the ”Sensor Level” (PIR sensitivity) parameter setting. For warm environ-
mental conditions, set the Sensor Level to ”High” and for cold weather use, set the
sensor for ”Low”.
2. Try to set your camera up in an area where there is not a heat source in the ca-
mera’s line of sight.
3. In some cases, set the camera near water will make the camera take images
with no subject in them. Try aiming the camera over ground.
4. Try to avoid setting the camera up on small trees that are prone to being moved
by strong winds.
5. Remove any limbs which are right in front of the camera lens.
