3. Introduction
With contents in previous pages, believe you’ve already got a brief idea
about how this camera works. Before more details presented, here we
want to thank you for choosing one of our easy operation highly qua-
lified products. You now may enjoy the excellences reflected on this
series product. This 12MP HD digital camera was totally R&D by our
diligent and smart engineers based on feedbacks and requirements
from customers globally. May you also enjoy and adore this product as
we do. And our company is always open-minded with willing to adopt
creative ideas from you.
3.1 Fully functionality introduction
Förutom alla funktioner du kan få med andra, liknande kameror
syftar den här till att erbjuda dig en stabil kvalitetsprodukt med bra
användarupplevelse och många extrafunktioner, som SIM-inställning
auto-match, daglig rapport, fjärrkontroll med APP (IOS och Android),
15 m (50 fot) osynligt verklig mörkerseendeförmåga, 0,4 s aktiverings-
tid och 1 foto/sek (upp till 5 foton per aktivering) multi-shot för att
fånga objektets hela rörelseförlopp (stöldskyddsbevis), användarvän-
lig driftmeny etc.
3.2 Power supply
3.2.1 Batteries
Camera runs on 6 or 12 AA size batteries (9-12V power supply to ensure
camera well performance of all functions); can work with alkaline and
high-quality NiMH rechargeable batteries. But we suggest to run camera
with NiMH batteries only as performance of alkaline batteries is much
poorer than NiMH batteries. Pls also choose the battery type you’re
using in the menu option “Battery Type” to reach longer operation time.
Batteries should be inserted with correct electrode position as marked
on the housing. Upside down batteries electrodes may cause device
malfunction. Also, we strongly recommend changing the batteries
when power icon on camera screen or photo stamp is empty.

Note! Don’t mix batteries types! Different batteries to be used in came-
ra may cause permanent damage which also violates warranty policy!
Due to different settings, objects activities within camera detection
zone, different brands and quality of batteries, and user environment,
temperature etc; we’re not able to list out exact number of photos and
videos that camera can achieve.
So given table below only shows approximate number of photos or
videos camera can take with 12AA alkaline batteries; better
performance can be given by 12 AA rechargeable NiMH batteries.
12AA Alkaline Batteries

Test Condition: LCD screen off. Mode: “Power On” _PIR intelligent automatically
monitoring; 4G Off.
3.2.2 Solar panel
To bring users better using experience, our engineers designed this camera to
be able to work with most standard 12V/2A lithium battery build-in solar panels.
Note that the camera cannot handle dual power sources, so the batteries must
be removed from the camera if the solar panel is connected. Hunter Solar Panel
(Article no: TL20100) is recommended.

3.2.3 Power adaptor – Security surveillance purpose
This camera can also be powered by an external 12V/ 2A DC adapter.
Note that the AA size batteries are removed when power adapter is
used. Electrical power is recommended for security purposes. Hunter
Power Adapter (Article no: TL20130) or Hunter Power Cable (Article
no: TL20110, TL20120) is recommended. The DC plug specification is
4.0 x 1.7mm.
3.3 SD card selection
Using a memory card is required to operate the camera. When the
camera is ”ON” 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 the pictures/ videos
already recorded from the memory card. When the SD card is full, the
viewing screen shows ”Memory Full”. The following data shows an
approximate quantity of photos which can be recorded by the camera
depending on the memory card capacity.
Chart below will show you the approximate capacity of different size
SD cards. Pls check to see which size card can fit your needs best.

3.5 Attention!
1. Insert the SD memory card correctly, camera does not support SD
card hot swap (insertion).
2. Please use high-quality AA batteries in order to prevent battery
cells from corrosion of leaked acid.
3. Use right adaptor (12V/2A) of this camera to supply power, and do
not invert the electrode when put in batteries.
4. In Test mode, camera will automatically power off in 3 mins if
there is no keypad touching.
5. Don’t interrupt power supply during system upgrade, please deliver
it back to factory if the device doesn’t work after upgrading.
6. Do not frequently insert or pull out SD card and battery or plug in
and out the adaptor when the camera is on.
7. Do not have any floating objects, such as leaves, strings, or ribbons
in the 3M motion detection zone of cameras, to avoid mistaking
photograph or videos.
8. Do not keep camera next to hot irrelevant objects, air conditioner
exhaust vents, and light, etc. to avoid mistaking photos or videos.
9. Camera is with a 100° FOV lens which means more flash is needed
to get better night time images than the average 52° FOV lens from
market; that’s why 58pcs 60° IR LEDs are used on this camera.
But ensure these 58pcs IR LEDs can give enough flash to back the
wide angle lens up that high qualified AA batteries must be applied
accordingly to deliver enough amperage to power the illuminator
consistently in dark environments.
10. Programmed Date/Time can be saved in camera for 12 hours as
long as camera was powered 1 hour above.

High, Middle, Low
Higher sensitivity is 1) more sensitive to movements by small-er
subjects; 2) longer detection distance; 3) easier for sensor to detect
difference between body heat and outdoor tempera-ture; 4) easier to
trigger camera to record. In high tempera-ture environment, body heat
of subjects and environment temperature is hard to tell by camera,
suggest settingHigh.
