2. Camera Operations
2.1 Batteries / Power Supply
The camera is powered by four AA batteries. High-density,
high-performance alkaline, Lithium or high capacity (min
2600mAh) NiMH rechargeable batteries are recommended.
When the batteries are low, the camera will beep twice and
automatically shut down.
A DC 6-Volt, 2 Amp external power supply adapter can also be
used to power the camera (not included).
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. Secure Digital High Capacity
(SDHC) PRO cards work with SDHC compatible devices only.
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
The camera will operate normally with a locked SD card
inserted, but the card will not be able to store captured images
or videos taken by the camera.
Do not remove the SD card while the camera is on
By removing the SD card while the camera is on risks damaging
the internal components of the camera.
If you experience any problems with an inserted SD
card
Try reformatting the SD card utilizing the camera’s main
settings option.

PIR Interval
This setting indicates how long the PIR sensor

During this time the PIR sensor will not react
to any detected motion. The PIR Interval can
be set between zero seconds to a maximum of 1
hour.
Default: 10 seconds
PIR
Trigger/Sens
itivity
This setting is for the sensitivity of the PIR
sensor. There are four sensitivity parameters:
High, Normal, Low and Off. It is recommended
to use HIGH sensitivity in areas with little
environmental interference and also for
warmer, humid temperatures or climates. Use
LOW sensitivity for areas that have a lot of
interference. The sensitivity of the PIR is
effected by temperature. Higher temperatures
leads to lower sensitivity.
If PIR Trigger/Sensitivity and Time Lapse
options are BOTH OFF, the camera will not
capture any photos or videos.
Default: Normal
Working
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 00:00 to 23:59.
When this parameter is set to Off, the camera
works at all times. When the timer switch is
ON, the camera works only during the time
according to the users preset settings.
Default: Off

Time Lapse
The camera can capture images or videos at a
preset time interval regardless of motion
detection. Changing this setting to a non-zero
value turns on Time Lapse mode and the
camera will take photos at the set interval time.
If PIR Trigger/Sensitivity and Time Lapse
options are BOTH OFF, the camera will not
capture any photos or videos.

4. Trouble Shooting
1. There is something in front of the camera lens - Is the
camera broken?
A: The camera is not broken. It’s an IR-cut filter. When the
camera is powered on, the IR-cut will cover the lens. Only when
the camera is powered off, the IR-cut will be at a random place,
sometimes covering the lens.
2. The display screen is suddenly black.
A: The camera may be in “On / Hunting mode” - Press
MENU to wake it up. If there is no response, the
camera may be powered off. Please check if the batteries are
still good and in place. Once battery power and placement
is verified, press and hold down the OK/POWER button until
the display turns on, indicating the camera powering up.

5. Additional Information
Avoid varying temperature and motion disturbances in front of
the camera, such as falling leaves, air-conditioner outlets, and
other sources that may easily sway and move to prevent false
triggering.
To adequately capture the full image of the tracked game, the
camera should be placed high above the ground, respective to
the object size of the game. Generally, one to two meters is
optimal.

6. PIR Detection Zone
This camera has a new patented PIR design, which allows the
detection range to reach to 70ft in good environments. The
following picture shows the compared detection zone between
normal PIR and the new patented PIR.
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 an empty picture’s rate and capture most, if not all,
objects in motion.
