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.
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 64GB 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
the camera to the ON position, the motion
indication LED (red) will blink for about 10
seconds. This time interval is for you to position
the camera for automatic surveillance operation.
SETUP Mode
Switching the camera to the SETUP position
allows you customize your camera settings or play
back pictures and videos the camera has taken on

2.7 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.

Please note that if the PIR
Trigger is set to off, then Time
Lapse can’t be set to off.
Default: OFF
PIR
Trigger
This setting is for the sensitivity of
the PIR sensor. There are four
sensitivity parameters: High,
Normal, Low, OFF. It is
recommended to use HIGH
sensitivity in areas with little
environmental interference and for
warmer, humid climates. Use LOW
sensitivity for areas that have a lot
of interference. The sensitivity of
the PIR is affected by temperature.
Higher temperatures lead to a
lower sensitivity.
Please note that if Time Lapse
is set to off, then PIR Trigger
can’t be set to off.
Default: Normal
PIR
Interval
This interval shows how long the
PIR will be disabled after each
triggering in the ON mode. During
this time, the PIR sensor will not
react to any detected motion or
scheduled timer functions. The PIR
Interval can be set between zero
seconds to a maximum of 1 hour.
Press ►to adjust the desired PIR
Interval time.

4. PIR Detection Zone
The PIR’s detection range can reach 70ft in an open
environment. The following picture shows this
camera’s PIR detection range compared to standard
PIR detection range.
The PIR detection angle (α) is smaller than the field
of view angle (β). The advantage of this design is to
reduce empty picture rates and capture most, if not
all, motion detected.
