Manual Photo

picture and check if your APP
has successfully received the
photo.
Press the“RST”button when
the light 2 is green or
yellow-green. Camera will
shoot a picture at once and
send to cloud platform.
The cloud platform will receive the photo within 30
seconds if the camera has a good signal.
If light 2 become red after manually shooting, it means
the picture did not send. We suggest checking this:
⚫Micro SD card’s capacity (Up to 32G)
⚫That you have an active plan with AT&T.

Customizing the camera settings
Instant: Enables instant transmission. Max Number of
“Instant”means the number of photos that is allowed
to send out per day. If you want to control your data
flow, set the maximum number. The number 00 means
unlimited.
Remote Control: You can remotely control your
camera via mobile phone or web-portal. If you choose
Real Time, the wireless module will keep working so
the power consumption is huge. Delay 24H means the
wireless module will wake up at least one time in 24
hours but will continue to send pictures when
triggered by heat or motion.
Mode: You can choose Photo Mode or Video Mode.
Choosing Photo Mode, you can change Photo Size, set
Flash power, and Photo Burst in Photo Mode.
Choosing Video Mode, you can further set the Video
Size and Video Length.
Photo Burst: Your camera can take a 1-10 shot burst
every time the PIR is triggered to take a photo.
17
Sensitivity: There may be situations where you might
feel the camera is not catching animals too easily. You
can adjust the sensitivity of your camera to help with
this. Under most conditions, the Normal option will
work the best. In high temperatures, the High setting
might help differentiate between the outside temps
and the body temps of the animal. In cold conditions,
you may find that the Low option is best as the camera
can easily differentiate the outside temps from the
body temps of the subject.
Trigger Interval: Allows you to customize how often
the camera can be allowed to take a photo.
Time Lapse: This option allows your camera to
automatically take a photo without being triggered by
the PIR.
Work Time: The camera can work at preset times and
preset days. In the rest of the time the camera is not
work. Work hour: 00:00-00:00 means 24 hours. If the
settings is cross the day, for example: Start: 20:00 Stop:
10:00 means 00:00-10:00 am and 20:00-24:00 of the
chosen day.
18
Overwrite：The overwrite function will save new
photos over the old photos on your Micro SD Card if it
becomes full. Each time a new photo is taken the
oldest photo on the card will be overwritten.
AUXILIARY POWER: Your camera comes with a
standard 4mm Auxiliary power jack. If you want to
hook up an external 6V battery to power the camera,
you can. The jack necessary to make the connection is
a standard 4mm jack.
Tricks and Tips on Field Setup:
•For best results, mount the camera
approximately 3 feet off the ground facing
straight forward, as level as possible.
•To enhance the flash, we recommend
positioning the camera in an area with a
backdrop to reflect the maximum amount of
light. For instance, place the camera 20-30’
from a field edge facing the woods. For the
19
inside of timber, positioning the camera facing a
thicket approximately 20-30’ away.
•Try to set the camera up so it’s not facing
directly into the sun either in the morning or
the evening when game movement is at its
peak.
•Use the Covert Tree60 mounting system to
mount the camera up higher pointing down on
them for a better look. Works great when you
don’t have a straight tree to attach to.
•The FW version is reference to our engineers to
ensure a speedy and efficient warranty repair
should the need arise.
