Batteries
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Install 8 AA batteries paying close attention to the orientation of the polarity
symbols (+/-).
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
Note: Do not mix different kinds of batteries (e.g., alkaline, lithium, rechargeable).
Never combine old and new batteries.
• When the batteries are running low, “Battery Low” will be shown on the display.
• If the camera is not to be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to avoid
possible leakage damage.
• In addition, the camera can be powered using an external DC 5V/2A solar powered
power supply (not supplied).
Inserting a microSD Card
To use the camera effectively, it is essential to install a microSD card since the camera
lacks built-in memory. The microSD card should have a capacity of up to 32GB and a class
10 rating.
Prior to insertion into the microSD card slot, verify that the card's capacity does not exceed
the recommended limit and that it has been tested for compatibility. This ensures smooth
operation and enables the camera will store captured data efficiently.
Setting the Camera
Slide the mode switch from OFF to TEST position to activate the camera and view the user
setup screen.
In TEST mode, the camera will operate similarly to a normal digital camera. You can
capture a picture or video and enter the menu to set parameters.

camera.

USB
With the camera switched off or while in test mode, you can connect the camera to your
computer to manage the saved photo/videos (USB cable not supplied).
The pictures and videos of the camera are stored in the folder \DCIM\100MEDIA in the SD
card. The file names for images will be “imag000X1.jpg” and videos will be “imag000X.avi”.
The SD cards can be placed in card readers and inserted into the computer to browse the
files in the USB disk.
Auto Recording Mode
In this mode and the camera will start when prey or other objects enter the PIR sensing
area, both PIRS are triggered at the same time and immediately start taking photos or
recording videos.
• The PIR in the middle mainly detects the left and right viewing angles and the viewing
angle distance is 45º, within 10 meters.
• The Angle of view of the PIR below is 90º and the distance is within 15 meters.
• If the prey strolls away from the PIR sensor, the camera will be powered off and put into
standby mode.
Positioning the Camera
• It is recommended that you position the camera 1 - 2 metres above the ground.
• For best results, face the camera north or south and remove branches near the front of
the camera.
Note: To avoid potential false triggers, do not point the camera at a heat source (e.g., the
sun) or near a branch trunk.
