INSTALLATION
Before you begin learning how to use your trail camera,
you will first need to install a set of batteries and insert a
micro SD card. Please take the time to read the following
directions and cautions:
Loading Batteries
Open the two latches on the right side of the camera, and
then open the battery protection cover. For maximum
battery life, you should install 8 alkaline AA batteries into
the battery slots.
The camera may also be operated by just 4 batteries
installed in four consecutive slots on one side. Battery life
will be shorter with 4 batteries, but the camera will
operate normally. Whether you use 4 or a full set, be sure

to insert each battery with correct polarity (negative or
flat end against the long spring of each battery slot).
Recommends using a full set of new alkaline AA batteries.
other batteries should not be used, as the camera may
not function correctly. Anytime you load or unload
batteries, make sure that the camera is OFF.
Using an External Power Source
You can connect an external 6V DC power source with at
least 1.5A to the DC Port at the bottom of the camera.
The power connector is a 3.5x1.35 mm coaxial DC power
plug with positive tip (inside pin) polarity. Leave internal
batteries in the camera during use.
Inserting the Micro SD Card
Insert the micro SD card (with the camera’s power switch
in the OFF position) before beginning to operate the
camera. Don’t insert or remove the micro SD card when
the power switch is in the ON position.The camera uses a
Micro SD (Secure Digital) memory card to save your
photos (.jpg format) or videos (.avi format). SD and
SDHC (High Capacity) class 6 or higher speed cards, up
to a maximum 512GB are supported.

Formatting the micro SD card before using it for the first
time is recommended, especially when a card has been
used in other devices. This can be done using the
camera’s Format function. Make sure you have backed
up (saved to your computer) any files you want to keep
on a previously used card, as formatting erases all files.
Insert the micro SD card into the card slot with its label
side upwards (see below). A “click”sound indicates that
the card is installed successfully. If the wrong side of the
card is facing up, you will not be able to insert it.
If the micro SD card is not installed correctly, "Memory
card missing" will appear on the LCD Display, and the
camera will not operate.

To take out the micro SD card, just gently push in the
card (do not try to pull it out without pushing in first). The
card is released from the slot and ready to be removed
when you hear the click.

CAMERA OPERATION
Once you’ve prepared your trail camera by properly
installing batteries and an micro SD card, you could take
it outside, strap it to a tree, switch it ON mode and
leave-and you might get some great photos that are
exactly what you wanted (The camera works with
pre-programmed factory default settings).
Note: Please remove the protective foil from the camera
before use for not affecting the camera effect.

Audio recording
Opening this function, you'll be able to record sound
while recording a video.
Options:[On]/[Off].
Shot lag
The Shot lag is referring to is the time delay between one
shot and the next. It is different from the trigger speed of
a trail camera(the trigger speed is the amount of time it
takes for the trail camera to take and record the photo
once the camera detects an animal).
For example, if you set your Shot lag time on your
camera to a 5 second, when the camera captures the
action and finishes shooting, it will wait 5 seconds before
subsequent detection. You would collect 12 sets of
photos every minute.
If you are watching a deer moving through, set it for a
shorter time - a few seconds. If you are watching a bait
pile, set it longer as the deer are in the same spot for

[email protected]

some time. Otherwise you'll get loads of near identical
photos and a full memory card very quickly.
Options:5-60 seconds or 1-60 minutes.
Side motion sensors
The default setting is ON. The two side PIR sensors
provide wider sensing angle and enhance response time.
However, in some situations, you might have difficulties
removing the interfering twigs, or avoiding the sunlight.
If so, you'll have an option to turn off the side sensors.
Options:[On]/[Off].
Sensitivity motion sensors
This refers to how sensitive the camera is to objects that
pass in front of it. For interior areas and environments
with little interference, select High. Select Middle for
exterior areas and environments with a normal amount
of interference, and select Low for environments with a
high level of interference (Please note that the
temperature may also affect the sensitivity). The High
setting is suitable for warm ambient temperatures,
whereas Low should be selected for cold environments.

If you are looking for larger animals, such as deer or bear,
the sensitivity can be turned down quite liberally, as
larger animals are obviously easier to detect. However, if
you are after getting photos of a rare song bird that is
nesting near by, the High sensitivity might be your best
option.
Options:[Low]/[Middle]/[High].
Target recording time
You can set the camera to
start recording at a specific
clock time(Make sure you set
the date and time of the
camera accurately before
using this setting). Select ON
and set the Start and End time for the active phase. The
settings made here apply to every day monitoring. The
camera will not record any images outside of the active
phase. For example, you may only be interested in
nocturnal animals, so you schedule your camera to only
work at night.
Options:[On]/[Off].
