1. Quick instruction：
The GC-002 series hunting camera has substantially increased the total time of
shooting video. The structure was further improved around the battery case. It is the
basic principle of the pyroelectric infrared sensors (PIR) to respond to infrared signals
of animals or the human body where an automatic trigger takes photos or video.
1.1 Features
●12MP/8MP/5MP /3MP/1MP quality photo options
●1280 x 720P/D1/VGA/QVGA video
●About 1 second trigger time
●2.36 TFT color screen preview function
●Photo + video feature takes a photo before shooting video
●Pair of regional remote sensors activate the camera and immediately takes a picture
of an object entering the lens range
●The day or night mode auto-switch takes the color photos in the day and black and
white at night
●Low standby current, lengthy standby time, and a waterproof shell for longer working
time in the field
●Low operation temperature; lowest temperature is -22oF
●Runs on a minimum of 4 AA alkaline batteries. The back panel takes 4 AA batteries
as an additional power to last longer in the field
●The IR LED’s distance；65 ft or 20m
●Period force shooting （Time Lapse）for observing cold blooded animals,
vegetation, or landscape changes
●Letters and numbers can be entered to set the serial number of camera. The serial
number can then be printed onto the photographs. A 4 digit combination can be applied
to record the location of the photos
●Date, time, temperature, and moon phase can be imprinted in every photo
●Set up a password to protect your camera from unauthorized users
●Support the camera with a tripod

1.2 Application area

2. Quick Start
2.1 Inserting the Batteries
Insert 8 AA batteries into the additional back battery box and camera body. The battery cover tips
to ensure correct polarity of the batteries. Connect the 6V power supply by an external access to
electrical outlets. (Optional) Pay attention to the maximum current if the power supply needs more
than a 1A (6 V) battery.
2.2 Inserting the SD Card
This camera supports 8MB~32GB SD cards. It is better to format the SD card with this camera.
Make sure the SD card is fully inserted or the camera will sound and then shut down.
Insert the Card Upward
2.3 Test Mode
Moving the switch to the TEST position will set camera to the preview testing mode.
When the device is in this mode, you can manually take pictures, videotape, view existing
photos and videos and adjust the parameters just like using an ordinary camera. You can
also test the PIR (Pyro-electric Infrared) function by the following operations: First, make
sure the camera is in preview test mode by looking at the position of the switch, and then,
in the range of 3 to 20 meters (10 to 65 feet), walk slowly back and forth along the direction
that is exactly perpendicular to the camera lens. If the red LED indicator light flashes, it shows that
the position can be sensed by “take PIR”, and if the blue LED indicator light flashes, it shows
that the position can be sensed by the “prepare PIR” on the left and right.
There are three scenarios in the preview testing mode: 1) the preview
mode, where you can see the scenes directly in front of the camera lens from the
TFT LCD screen or TV, 2) the setting mode, where the menu is shown, and 3)
the playback mode, where you can view existing photos and videos that are stored
in the SD card on the TFT LCD screen or the TV. The camera automatically enters
preview mode when it is first set in the preview testing mode.

The keys , symbolize “shoot video” and “take photo”, and they are shortcut keys. When used
under the preview mode, will lead you to video condition, leads to photo condition, and when the key
is pressed, a photo or video is taken, and is pressed, photos and videos can be reviewed. The key
zooms into pictures under preview condition and the key zooms out. The key plays the first photo
and the key plays the next under play view condition.
2.4 Infrared Shooting Mode
Moving the switch to the ON position would set the device in the Automatic
Infrared Shooting Mode. There is a waiting time of about 10 seconds before the
system adjusts to this mode. During this period, the red LED indicator light will
keep flashing. After that the light extinguishes, the camera can start taking
pictures by infrared inducement. Once the device is in this mode, there will be
no need for any manual operations. The camera will function automatically by
taking pictures or videotaping the subjects such as animals, persons, or cars that
enter the camera sensor range. If you want to shoot according to your own idea, please
read the advanced settings.

The infrared camera saves power by closing the lens and activating only when the PIR sensors detect
movement. The GC-002 camera needs about 1 second after detection to take photographs. The side
sensors help detect animals that may be moving quickly across the camera detection range. The total
scope of the sensors is 100 –120owhile the lens itself provides a 51oangle.
3. Advanced Settings
The GC-002 trail camera comes with preset manufacturer settings. You can change the
settings to meet your requirements. Please make sure the camera is in the test mode.
3.1 Function Keys

Description
Mode
Camera,
Video,
Camera + Video
Select whether still photos or video
clips are taken. In Camera + Video
mode, the GC-002 can take photos first
and then shoot videos afterward.
Format
OK
All files will be deleted after formatting
the SD card. Highly recommend you
format the SD card if it has been
previously used in other devices.
Caution: make sure wanted files on the SD
card have been backed up first!
Photo Size (affects still
photos only)
1MP，3MP, 5MP,
8MP，12MP
Select desired resolution for still photos
from 1 to 12 megapixels. Higher
resolution produces better quality
photos, but creates larger files that take
more of the SD card capacity. Larger
files require longer time to write to the
SD card, which will slightly slow the
shutter speed. 5MP is recommended.

Video Size (affects
video clips only
1280*720P
D1
VGA
QVGA
Select video resolution (pixels per
frame). Higher resolution produces
better quality videos, but creates larger
files that take more memory on the SD
card. 640×480 is VGA mode in
standard 4:3 format.
Set Date/Time
OK
Press OK to set up date and time.
Picture No. (affects
still photos only)
01 Photo, 02 Photos,
03 Photos
While in Camera Mode, select the
number of photos taken in sequence per
trigger. Please refer to the Interval
Parameter.
Video Length (affects
video clips only)
Avi 10s, optional from
1s to 60s
Videos are in AVI format and can be
played back on most video players.
Interval
1 Min, optional from
1S to 60M
Select the shortest length of time that the
camera will wait until it responds to any
subsequent triggers from the PIR sensor
after a game is first detected. During the
selected interval, the camera will not
take pictures/videos. This prevents the
SD card from filling up with too many
redundant images.
Sense Level
Normal, High, Low
Select the sensitivity of the PIR sensor.
The High setting suits indoors and
environments with little interference,
while the Normal/Low suits outdoors
and environments with more
interference. Temperature also affects
the sensitivity. The High setting is
suitable when the ambient temperature is
warm while the Low setting is helpful in
cold weather.

Date Stamp (affects
still photos only)
Off, Date, Date/Time
Select On if you want the date & time
imprinted in every photo.
Timer
On ,Off
Select On if you only want the camera
to work within a specified time period
every day. For instance, if the starting
time is set at 18:35 and the ending time
at 8:25, the camera will function from
18:35 the current day to 8:25 the next
day. Outside the time period the
camera will not be triggered or take
photos/videos.
Password Set
Off, On
Set up a password to protect your
camera from unauthorized users.
Serial No.
Off, On
Select On to assign a serial number to
each camera you have. You can use
the combination of 4 letters and/or
numbers to record the location in the
photos (e.g.YSP1 for Yellow Stone
Park). This helps multi-camera users
identify the location when reviewing
the photos.
Time Lapse
Off, On
If set to On, the camera will
automatically take photos/videos
according to the set interval, regardless
of whether the PIR sensor has detected
any game. This is helpful when
observing cold-blooded animals like
snakes, or the process of flowering,
etc.
