4. PARTS AND CONTROLS
The camera is equipped with 36pcs high efficiency infrared
LEDs, LED Indicators, Lens, PIR Sensors, Lock Holes in
front view (Figure 1).
TIP: During use, if the black PIR Lens is found to be dirty,

4
it does not affect the performance. If you must clean it,
please try to blow it off or pick out the dirt very lightly. Do
not try to wipe it, which may cause more scratches. Due to
the reliability design of the PIR lens, scratches do not
reduce the PIR detection performance.

5. INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD
Before you begin learning how to use your camera, you will
first need to install a set of batteries and insert an SD card.
Although that may only take you a minute, there are some
important notes about both batteries and SD cards you
should be aware of, so please take the time to read the
following directions and cautions:
5.1. LOADING BATTERIES
After opening the cover of the battery compartment, you
will see that the camera has eight battery slots (Figure 6). A
full eight batteries must be installed for the camera to
operate. Be sure to insert each battery with correct polarity
(negative or "flat" end against the long spring of each
battery slot).
In ON mode when battery power level gets low, the
message "Low Battery" will show on the screen, please
replace the batteries. If the message "Night vision is
unavailable at low voltage" shows on the screen, the
batteries still work at daytime until "Low Batteries", but
this does mean the batteries are not able to drive IR LEDs
flash at night, if you want to continue night vision, please
replace the batteries.

Figure 6: Loading the Batteries
5.2. INSERTING THE SD CARD
Insert the SD card (with the camera powered off), before
beginning to operate the camera. Don't insert or remove the
SD card when the camera is powered on or in the
surveillance mode. (Figure 7).
Figure 7: Inserting the SD Card
The following describes how to insert and remove the SD
card:
Insert the SD card into the card slot with its label side
upwards.A "click" sound indicates that the card is
installed successfully. If the wrong side of the card is
facing up, you will not be able to insert it without force,
there is only one correct way to insert cards. If the SD
+
一

9
card is not installed correctly, the device will not display
an SD card icon on the screen in ON mode.Formatting
the SD card by using the camera's "Format SD Card"
menu option before first use is recommended, especially
when a card has been used in other devices.
To take out the SD card, just gently push in the card (do
not try to pull it out without pushing in first). The card is
released from the slot and ready to be removed when
you hear the click. Be sure the camera's power is
switched OFF before inserting or removing SD cards or
batteries.
6. USING THE CAMERA
Once you've prepared your camera by properly installing
batteries and an SD card, you could simply take it outside,
strap it to a tree (or not - according to your application
scenario), switch it ON, press START button and
leave-and you might get some great photos that are exactly
what you wanted. However, we highly recommend that you
first spend some additional time indoors with this manual
and your camera until you know a bit more about what
those control keys do. If nothing else, you'll probably want
to at least set the date and time so the camera will imprint
them (or not-it's your option) on your photos as they are
taken, learn how to set the camera to shoot video clips
instead of still photos if you like, and read some tips about
mounting it on a tree.

7. THE OFF, ON, AND SURVEILLANCE MODES
The camera has three basic operational modes:
OFF mode: Power switch in the OFF position (The
camera is powered off).
ON mode: Power switch in the ON position (The
camera is powered on and its screen is on).
SURVEILLANCE mode: When the camera is powered
on, press START button to enter the surveillance mode.
When the screen is off, the camera enters standby and
will perform according to your settings.
APP & Wi-Fi Connection:
You can use the APP to connect the camera when the
camera is operating in the ON or SURVEILLANCE mode.
7.1. OFF MODE
The OFF mode is the "safe" mode when any actions must
be taken, e.g., replacing the SD card or batteries, or
transporting the device. And of course, when you are
storing or not using the camera, you will switch it to OFF.
Please note that in the OFF mode the camera still consumes
a little power. It's a good idea to take the batteries out of the
battery compartment if the camera will not be used for a
long time.
7.2. ON MODE
In the ON mode you can check and change the settings of
the camera with the help of its built-in screen. These
settings, found in the menu by pressing MENU key, let you
change the photo or video resolution, interval between
photos, switch the time imprint on, etc. (See more in

11
Section 9 ADVANCED SETTINGS).
On the screen display, you will see an information screen
that shows how many images have been taken, the battery
level, camera or video mode, etc.
Attention please: In the ON mode, the camera will
automatically enter SURVEILLANCE mode if there is no
operation (key pressing) within 5minutes. Then the camera
will perform as your settings in the menu.
In the ON mode, you can connect the camera to a
computer's USB port to download your images.
7.3. SURVEILLANCE MODE
Anytime after the batteries and SD card have been inserted,
you can switch on the camera. When the START button is
pressed, the camera will enter into the SURVEILLANCE
mode. If the Mode in the settings is set as “Motion
Detection”, the camera will countdown 30-second delay
and then be ready to capture images. If the Mode is set as
“Time Lapse”, there will be no 30-second counting down,
and the camera will be ready to enter Time Lapse.
Once in the SURVEILLANCE mode, no manual controls
are needed or possible (the control keys have no effect).
The camera will take photos or videos automatically
(according to its current parameter settings).
TIP: You can press the START button again to wake up
the camera and reprogram your camera if required.
