1. Instructions
1.1 General Description
This digital observation camera, with black IR illumination,
works fully automatically. The specic region of interes-
ted (ROI) is monitored by a high sensitive Passive Infrared
(PIR) motion sensor and can be triggered by the slightest
movement of either human or animal thus leading to au-
tomatic exposure of high quality pictures (up to 8MP in-
terpolated) or recording of video clips (VGA) according to
default settings or preset customer settings. Images can
then be directly forwarded to your mobile phone or by
email via GSM/GPRS network. The automatic messaging
function sends you information when photos or videos are
triggered.
Colour photos and videos are possible when sufcient
light is available. In darkness the integrated infrared LEDs
illuminate the region of interest while the camera photo-
graphs (monochrome). It’s novel patented IR illumination
is not visible to animals and humans and has a range of
up to 18 meters.
The camera is water and snow resistant thus being ideal
for outdoor use. Furthermore, it can be used as a portable
digital camera.
Manual pictures and videos can be taken by pressing
on the remote control (please note that the “TEST” mode
needs to be activated as well as an SD-card inserted.)
Intended use
This surveillance camera is used for monitoring objects
or places (eg rooms, door and entrance areas, driveways
and wildlife, watching at feeding grounds, the feeding
place or deer crossing) with photo or video.
The camera is waterproof (IP44 rating) and thus not only
suitable for indoor surveillance, but also for mounting in a
protected spot outside.
Through motion, the integrated PIR sensor triggers a pho-
to or video that is stored on a memory card. The photo can
be sent via MMS or email. If the ambient light is too weak,
the surveillance camera automatically turns on the built-in
infrared lighting and the camera turns for better sensitivity
into b / w mode.
The camera is powered by batteries. For stationary surveil-
lance the camera can also be powered by an AC adapter*.
However, the network device* must be protected from
moisture and humidity.
