Introduction
3.1 Power Supply
Batteries
The camera runs on 12 AA size batteries (9-12V power supply to ensure
maximum performance) and supports both alkaline OR high-quality NiMH
rechargeable batteries. We suggest using NiMH batteries only because their
performance is much better than alkaline batteries. Please choose the battery
type you’re using in the Main Menu -> Other Section -> “Battery Type” to
reach longer operation time.
Batteries should be inserted with the position of the correct electrodes as
marked on the battery case. Wrong battery position may cause device
malfunction. Also, we strongly recommend changing the batteries when the
power icon on the camera screen or photo stamp is empty.
Note: Don’t mix batteries types! Dierent batteries to be used in the camera
may cause permanent damage which also violates warranty policy!
Due to dierent settings, dierent battery brands and quality of batteries,
we are not able to list the exact number of photos and videos that camera
can achieve. You can use the table below only to approximate the number of
photos or videos the GlassRaven Camera can take with 12 AA Alkaline
batteries and it will perform better with 12 AA rechargeable NiMH batteries.

Introduction
3.2 SD Card Selection
Using a memory card is required to operate the camera. When the camera is
on "ON" mode and no memory card is used, the screen displays "No card".
The SD slot of the camera has a 32 GB memory capacity. Before inserting or
removing the memory card, the camera must be turned "OFF". Failing to do
so may cause loss of or damage to the pictures/videos already recorded on
the memory card. When the SD card is full, the viewing screen shows
"Memory Full". The table below shows an approximated number of photos or
videos which can be recorded by the camera depending on the memory
card capacity.

CREATIVE XP Solar Panel
To improve our customers’ experience, we specially designed a Portable Solar
Panel for all our cellular trail cameras. We recommend using batteries as a
backup in case the solar panel runs out of power. The sun will not charge the
batteries, but it will charge the solar cell 1500maAH battery which increases
the operating lifetime up to one year.
*The CREATIVE XP Solar Panel plug needs a short adapter cable to connect to
the bottom of the camera. We include this adapter cable in the camera box.
You can find our EGREEN Solar Panel at www.creative-xp.com!
Power adapter - Security Surveillance Purpose
The GlassRaven Camera can also be powered by an external 12V / 2A DC
adapter. We recommend removing the AA size batteries when the power
adapter is used. Electrical power is recommended for security purposes.

17
Introduction
3.3 USB Connection
When the camera is connected via USB cable, the screen shows “MSDC”.
If you press “Menu” once, “MSDC” turns to “PC Cam”. The camera now can
be used as a PC camera. If you press “Menu” again, camera exits PC camera
mode.
3.4 ATTENTION
1. Insert the SD memory card correctly, the camera does not support SD card
hot swap. *We insert the SD card from the production in most cameras.
2. Please use high-quality AA batteries in order to prevent the battery cells
from corrosion or leaked acid.
3. Use the right adapter (12V/2A) to supply power and do not invert the
electrodes when inserting the batteries.
4. In “ON” mode, the camera will automatically go in STANDBY in 2-3 min
without keypad touching.
5. Don’t interrupt power supply during firmware upgrade. Please deliver it
back to the factory if the device doesn’t work after upgrading.
6. Do not frequently insert or pull out the SD card, batteries or plug in and
out the adapter when the camera is on.
7. Do not have any floating objects, such as leaves, strings, or ribbons in the
5 ft motion detection zone of cameras, to avoid unwanted photos or videos.
8. Do not keep the camera next to hot objects, air conditioner, exhaust vents,
lights, etc. to avoid unwanted photos or videos.
9. The camera has a 110° PIR lens and 57 IR LEDs. To ensure that all 57 IR
LEDs can oer enough flash for night vision photos, we recommend using
the rechargeable batteries from ENELOOP PRO by Panasonic or our EGREEN
Solar Panel.
