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
A. 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. So given table below only shows approximate
number of photos or videos camera can take with 8AA alkaline batteries; better performance

Solar Panel
To bring users better using experience, ULTRA-GHOSTHUNTER ® designed this camera to be
able to work with most standard 12V/1~2 A lithium battery build-in solar panels. However,
as rechargeable AA NiMH or lithium batteries need higher voltage for charging that solar
panel can’t charge the batteries in using in camera batteries cases.

1.5 USB Connection
When camera is connected via USB cable; screen display “MSDC”, press “Menu” once,
“MSDC” turns to “PC Cam”, camera now can be used as a PC camera; press “Menu” again,
camera exits PC camera mode.
1.6 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/1A or 2A) of this camera to supply power, and do not invert the
electrode when put in batteries.
4. In Test mode, camera will automatically enter PIR Auto mode if no keypad touching within
60 sec. Please manually turn ON it as if you want to do some further configuration.
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 56pcs 60° IR LEDs are used on
this camera. But to ensure these 56pcs 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. By applying 2X, 3X, 4X Digital Zoom, camera stamp will be lost on photos;
