1.2 General Description
This camera is a digital scouting camera with
Incandescent Flash. It can be triggered by any
movement of human (or animal) in a certain region
of interested (ROI) monitored by a highly sensitive
Passive Infra-Red (PIR) motion sensor, and then
automatically take high quality pictures or video
clips.
This camera uses integrated xenon flash instead of
IR LED lamination. It can take color images day
and night. It also can take video clips during the
daytime. The camera consumes very little power
(μA level) at surveillance mode.
It is designed for outdoor use and is 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 “SHOT”
key on the remote.
1.3 Application
This camera can be used as an automatic
surveillance device for guarding and recording
unexpected intrusions to homes, shops, schools,
depots, offices, taxis, worksites etc. It can also be
used as trail camera for hunting or monitoring
animals by recording the traces of wild animals. It
can be left alone for weeks and months and it will
save event records automatically in digital format.

1.5 Saving Images or Videos
The camera uses a standard SD(Secure Digital)
memory card to save images(in .jpg format) and
videos(in .avi format). SD and SDHC(High Capacity)
cards up to 32GB are supported. Before inserting
the SD card be sure that the SD card is unlocked.
Note: without SD card inserted, the camera will
turn off automatically.
1.6 Cautions
★The working voltage of the camera is 6V.The
camera is supplied by 8 AA batteries or DC power
adapter with output of 6V. Please install batteries
according to shown polarity.
★Please insert the SD card when the power switch
is in OFF position before testing the camera. The
camera has no internal memory for saving images
or videos.
★Please do not insert or take out the SD card when
the power switch is in the ON position.
★It is recommended to format the SD card by the
camera when used for the first time.
★The camera will be in USB mode when connected
to a USB port of a computer. In this case, the SD
card function is as a removable disk.
★In SETUP mode, the camera will shut down
automatically after 3 minutes if no operation is
done. Please turn on the power again if you want
to continue to work with the camera.

otherwise the camera will not function correctly. If

SG565F-14mHD 2 Quick Start Guide
Page 6
no SD card is inserted, the camera will shut down
automatically.
2.3 Power on and Enter into ON Mode
Before switching on, please pay attention to the
follows:
1. Avoid temperature and motion disturbances in
front of the camera such as big leaf, curtain,
air-conditioner, air outlet of the chimney and
other heat sources to prevent from false
triggering.
2. The height from ground for placing the camera
should vary with the object size appropriately. In
general, one to two meters are preferred.
In SETUP mode, it requires to connect the remote
control then to do further customizing settings,
when the user complete the settings, it requires to
unplug the control to enter into normal use, that is,
if the remote control still be connected with the
camera, the camera will not work. The camera (the
control must be unplugged when in ON mode) will
take pictures or videos automatically according to
the default settings or preset customer settings.
After switching on the camera, the motion
indication LED (red) will blink for about 10s. The
10s is a buffering time before autonomic capturing
photos or videos, e.g. for closing and locking the
camera, mounting the camera and walking away.

Mode
Choose capturing images or recording
videos. There are two ways to set camera
mode.
Shortcut key: Press “ ”▲to set the
camera mode as Video or press “ ”▼to set
camera mode as Photo in info display of
SETUP mode.
Setting menu: press RIGHT to select
Photo or Video mode, then press OK to
save your setting.
By using white flash, the camera can
take color images day and night, but
video can just work under sufficient
daylight. If you set video mode, it will

Clock 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.
Photo
Size
Choose the photo size, e.g. 14MP, 10MP
or 5MP.
Video
Size
Choose the video size: 1280x720 or
640x480.
Video
Length
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 60 seconds with a step
of one second. The default value is 10
seconds. Press “►” to increase the value
by 1 second.
PIR
Sensitiv
ity
Choose sensitivity of the PIR sensor.
This parameter defines the sensitivity of
the PIR. There are three sensitivity
parameters: High, Normal, Low. The
default value is “Normal”. The higher
degree 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 sensitivity
degree 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

SG565F-14mHD 3 Item Settings
Page 10
of the PIR is strongly related to the
temperature. Higher temperature leads
to lower sensitivity. Therefore it is
suggested to set a higher sensitivity for
high temperature environment.
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.
Camera
Posit
It means camera position. You can set
A-Z position for your camera, so that you
can distinguish which photo is taken by
which camera.
Illumin

3.3 Power Off
Slide the power switch to OFF position to power off
the camera. Please note that even in OFF mode, the
camera still consumes a small amount of battery
power. Therefore, please remove the batteries if the
camera is not in use for a length of time.

SG565F-14mHD 4 Mounting the Camera
Page 12
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
60°).
There are two ways to mount the camera: using a
band shaped belt or bottom screw.
Using the belt: take the belt toes to go through the
two back holes of the camera，then tie the two toes
to the tree to finish fixing.

SG565F-14mHD 5 PIR Detection Zone
Page 13
5 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.
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.
