1.1General Discription
Thanks for your purchase of Boly Scouting camera.
This camera is a surveillance device working
automatically. It can be triggered by any movement
of human or animal in a certain region of interested
monitored by a highly sensitive Passive Infra-Red
(PIR) motion sensor ，and then take high quality
pictures (up to 30 mega pixels) or video clips. It can
take clear, black and white pictures or videos in the
dark night.
BG962-X30W:This camera integrates 40 940nm
LEDs and xenon flash. The xenon flash as
supplement light at night turns to infrared light
after filter as a result of which it can reduce time of
exposure. This own function leads to no motion blur
in the video clips.
BG962-K30W/BG960-K18W:This is a digital
infrared surveillance camera with 50 940nm
LEDs.There is a 2" color LCD display screen on the
camera. The device is designed for outdoor use and
resistant against water and snow. Furthermore, the
camera can be used as a portable digital camera.
Pictures or videos can be taken manually by
pressing on the operation panel.Maximum pixel
of BG960-K18 is 18MP.
BG960-I18W:This is a digital infrared surveillance
camera with 50 850nm LEDs. High quality pictures
with long distance light range can be got.

detected, while, if PIR sensitivity is set as PIR OFF,
the camera stops PIR triggering.
Timer Triggering:The Timer Triggering is OFF
which means the timer triggering is disabled. While
changing the timer triggering interval to a non-zero
value, the camera starts to work at a preset interval.

PIR&Timer Triggering:For both PIR triggering
and Timer triggering, the user need go to PIR
sensitivity to set “normal, high or low” sensitivities
according to the external environments, and set the
Timer interval to a desired non-zero value. The
camera will capture pictures or videos in a preset
time interval even there is no motions detected, the
camera will also capture pictures and videos if
motions get detected.

Choose duration of recording video. This
parameter is effective and can be
adjusted only when the device in the
video mode under ON mode. Its value
extends from 5 to 180 seconds. The

3.Advanced Operation
-10-
default value is 10 seconds. Press LEFT
and RIGHT to decrease or increase the
value by 10 seconds.
Set Clock
Set camera date and time. You can
change the date and time of the device by
setting this parameter when necessary,
e.g., after every battery change. The date
format is month/day/year, the time
format is hour:minute:second. The
valid value for year is between 2016 and
2050.
Time Lapse
Time lapse means the camera can
capture images or videos at a preset time
interval regardless of whether motions
are detected. The default parameter is
Off, which means the timer function is
disabled. Changing this parameter to a
non-zero value turns on the Time Lapse
mode, and camera will take photos at
given time interval.
Please note that if PIR Trigger is set
to Off, then Time Lapse can’t be set
to Off.
Choose sensitivity of the PIR sensor.
This parameter defines the sensitivity of
the PIR: High, Normal, Low and Off. The
default value is “Normal”. The higher
sensitivity indicates that the camera is
more easily to be triggered by motion,
taking more pictures or recording more
videos. It is recommended to use high

PIR Trigger
sensitivity in room or environment with
little interference, and to use lower
sensitivity for outdoor or environment
with lots of interference like hot wind,
smoke, near window etc. Furthermore,
the sensitivity of the PIR is strongly
related to the temperature. Higher
temperature leads to lower sensitivity.
Please note that if Time Lapse is set
to Off, then PIR Trigger can’t be set
to Off.
PIR Interval
This parameter indicates how long the
PIR (Passive Infrared motion sensor) will
be disabled after each triggering in ON
mode. During this time the PIR of the
device will not react to the motion of
human (or animals). The minimum
interval is 0 second, it means the PIR
works all the time. The maximum
interval is 1 hour. It means the PIR will
be disabled for 1 hour after each
triggering. Press LEFT or RIGHT to
decrease or increase the value.
Work Hour
This parameter defines a certain time in a
day when the camera can be triggered,
while in the rest of the time the device is
shut off. The effective value ranges from

4.Mounting The Camera
When use the camera in outdoor environment, such
as hunting or monitoring the living habits of wild
animals, you need to mount the device on a certain
place properly. It is recommended to mount the
camera on a tree, to get the optimal picture quality,
the recommended distance is 16ft from the tree to
the target monitoring area and recommended
height from the ground is 4.9ft~6.5ft. Adjust the
viewing angel properly (view angle of this camera is
110°).
There are three ways to mount the camera: using
a band shaped belt, python lock or mounting
bracket.

PIR detection Zone
-16-
PIR Detection Zone
This camera has a new design of PIR and the new
PIR is patented. The new patented PIR’s detection
range can reach to 100ft in good environments.
Following picture shows the compared detection
zone between normal PIR and the new patented
PIR.
Fig. 7: PIR Detection Zone
The PIR detection angle (α) is just smaller than the
field of view (FOV) angle (β). The advantage of this
design is to reduce empty picture rate and capture
most, if not all, motions.
