Introduction
Thank you for choosing one of our easy operation highly qualified 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.
1.1. Fully Functionality Introduction
Besides all the functions you may experience from any other similar product. This digital camera
is aimed to offer user the most easy to use experience with many extraordinary features, like
92°FOV lens, 56pcs 60° IR LEDs, 0.4 seconds trigger time, and 1 photo/sec (up to 5 photos per
trigger) multi-shot to capture the whole track of object, user friendly operational menu, etc.
1.2. Application
This digital camera is an ideal product for housing security, warehouse surveillance, and
monitoring wild animals. It is convenient to install or fasten.
a. Instant surveillance camera for home, office, construction site, and warehouse, etc;
b. Motion-triggered infra-red night vision surveillance;
c. Animal observation and hunting;
1.3. Power Supply
Batteries
Camera runs on 8 AA size batteries (12V power supply to ensure camera well performance of
all functions); can work with alkaline, high-quality NiMH, and Lithium rechargeable batteries.
But we suggest to run camera with NiMH and Lithium batteries only as performance of alkaline
batteries is much poorer than either NiMH or Lithium batteries.
Batteries should be inserted as indicated inside the battery case. Upside down batteries
electrode 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 camera 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 using environment, etc; we’re not able to list out exact number of
photos and videos that camera can achieve.
Power Adaptor—Security Surveillance Purpose
This camera can also be powered by an external 12V/ 1~2A DC adapter. Recommend to remove
the AA size batteries when power adapter is used. Electrical power is recommended for security
purposes.
1.4. SD Card Selection
Using a memory card is required to operate the camera. The camera accepts SD-cartswith a
maximum capacity of 32 GB. Before inserting or removing the memory card, the camera must
be switched "OFF". Failing to do so may cause loss of or damage the pictures. When the SD card
is full, the viewing screen indicates "Memory Full". The following data shows an approximate
quantity of photos which can be recorded by the camera depending on the memory card
capacity. Please check to see which size card can fit your needs best.

motion detection zone of cameras, to avoid mistaking photograph or videos.
9. Do not keep camera next to hot irrelevant objects, air conditioner exhaust vents, and
light, etc. to avoid mistaking photos or videos.
10. 56pcs 60° IR LEDs are used on this camera. But to ensure that these 56pcs IR LEDs can
give enough flash to back the wide angle lens up, high qualified AA batteries must be
applied

PIR
Sensitivity
High / Middle / Low
Higher sensitivity is
1) more sensitive to movements by smaller subjects;
2) longer detection distance;
3) easier for sensor to detect difference between body heat and outdoor
temperature; easier to trigger camera to record
In high temperature environment, body heat of subjects and environment
temperature is hard to tell by camera, suggested setting High.
Delay
Select “ON”, press “OK”, to set a time interval that you desire between
photos/videos upon motion. This option avoid camera taking too many
photos or videos.
Example: Camera will wait 1 minute between photo/video recordings with
motion if pre-set time interval is 00:01:00.
Configurable delay time: 0 second to 24 hours.
Note: Please don’t turn ON Time Lapse and Delay simultaneously!
Time Lapse
Select “ON”, press “OK”, to set the interval; PIR sensor of camera will be
turned off; camera will shoot pictures or video clips automatically upon the
interval user set.
Configurable interval: 5 seconds to 24 hours.
Note: Pls don’t turn ON Time Lapse and Delay simultaneously!
Timer
Select “ON”, press “OK”, to set the beginning time and end time
(hour/minute); camera will only work during the time period user set.

4. Trouble Shouting
5.1. Photos do not capture subject of interest
1) Check the “Sensor Level” (PIR sensitivity) parameter setting. For warm environmental
conditions, set the Sensor Level to “High” and for cold weather use, set the sensor for
“Low”.
2) Try to set your camera up in an area where no heat resources are in the camera’s field
of view.
3) In some cases, set the camera near water will make the camera take images with no
subject in them. Try to aim the camera over ground.
4) Try to set camera on stable and immovable objects, i.e.: large trees.
5) Try to avoid setting the camera up on small trees that are prone to being moved by strong
winds.
6) Remove any items which are right in front of the camera lens.
7) At night, motion detector may detect beyond range of the IR illumination. Reduce
distance setting by adjusting sensor sensitivity.
8) Rising sun or sunset can trigger sensor. Camera must be reoriented.

16
9) If person/animal moves quickly, it may move out of the camera’s field of view before
photo is taken. Move camera further back or redirect camera.
5.2. Camera stops taking images
1) Please make sure that the SD card is not full. If the card is full, camera will stop taking
images. Alternatively turn on Cycle SD card recording to avoid such problem.
2) Check batteries to make sure that batteries left power is enough for camera to work.
3) Make sure that the camera power switch is in the “On” position.
4) When 3G/GPRS function is on, there will be around 1 minute interval for camera to send
out photo before camera shooting the next photo.
5) Please format the SD card with camera before using or when camera stops taking images.
5.3. Night vision flash range doesn’t meet expectation
1) 4pcs AA batteries is not able to support camera night vision ability; please install 8 pcs
AA batteries.
2) Please check to make sure that batteries are fully charged or remaining power is enough.
3) “Max Range” offers better IR flash range. Given IR flash range values are based on Max
Range setting; so please adjust Night Mode to Max Range for better night vision flash
range.
4) High-quality 1.5V Lithium AA batteries can also offer much better IR flash range; alkaline
batteries cannot deliver enough amperage to power the illuminator consistently at night.
5) To ensure accuracy and quality of night time image, please mount camera to dark
environment without any obvious light sources.
6) A certain surroundings (like trees, walls, ground, etc.) within flash range can get you
better night time images; please do not aim camera to total open field where there is
nothing within IR flash range to reflect flash back; it’s like shining a flashlight into sky in
night, you just can’t see anything.
