The camera provides the following connections for external
devices:USB 2.0 port, SD card slot,TV out jack,and external DC power
jack,SIM card slot.
To supply power, it is recommended to use eight new high-performance
alkaline AA batteries or low self-discharge Ni-MH chargeableAA
batteries.
2.Quick Start
2.1 Insert SIM Card
You need to purchase the SIM card from your local Mobile Phone
Operators,making sure they provide Multimedia Messaging
Service(MMS)and GPRS Service. Ask them for the relevant
information to configure the settings on your camera.(Please reference
3.4 - 3.7section in the Advanced Operation section.)
2.2 Load Batteries
Let ’s begin with loading the batteries. Please follow the instructions
below.
•Open the battery cover.
•Install 8 AA batteries. Make sure the polarity matches the sign
on the cover.

•Close the cover.
Alternatively the camera can run on external (6V/2A)DC power supply
(optional, user provided). When both external power and batteries are
connected, the camera will be powered by the external power works.
2.3Insert SD Card
The Loreda camera does not come with internal memory,so it does not
work without a SD(SecureDigital)memory card or
SDHC(HighCapacity)card.Before inserting the SD card into the
cardslots,please make sure the write-protect switch on the side of the
SD card“off”(NOT in the“Lock”position).The supported memory
capacity is up to 32GB.
2.4 Powering on and Test Mode
Switch to the TEST position to enter the test mode. In this mode you
can take pictures or videos like a regular digital camera, or enter the
Menu to set up parameters. On the keypad there are four “shortcut”
function keys working as below:
！！ WARNING ！！
Please switch the Camera to OFF
mode before you insert/take out the
batteries or the SD-card

•Press the key to set the camera to shoot videos.
•Press the key to set the camera to take still pictures.
•Press the key to manually trigger the shutter. Photos or
videos (depending on the camera settings) will be taken and
saved to the SD card. If the display shows “CARD
PROTECTED” when you press the SHOT key, switch the
power OFF, remove the SD card and slide its write-protect
switch to off.
•Press the OKkey to review photos/videos on the LCD screen,
Use and key to navigate.
There is another key MENU, on the keypad that allows you to program
the camera to work the way you want. Please make reference to 3.1
Parameter Settings in the Advanced Operation section.
Under the test mode, one useful function you would like is testing the
work area of the PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor, specifically the sensing
angle and monitoring distance. To perform the test:
•First strap the camera on a tree aiming the region of interest
(ROI).
•Walk slowly from one side of the ROI to the other parallel to
the camera. Try different distances and angles from the camera.
By doing this test, you can find the best placement when mounting and
aiming the Loreda camera. In general, you are recommended to place
the camera 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) above the ground.
To avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and motion
disturbances, please do not aim the camera at a heat source (i.e. the sun)
or nearby tree branches and limbs. The ideal direction to aim at is North
or South. Also, remove any limbs close to the front of the camera.
2.5 Powering on and Live Mode
Switch to the ON position to enter the live mode. The Motion Indicator
will flash red for about 10 seconds and the camera starts working. It

6
will at once shoot photos or record videos when game or other objects
enter the PIR area of the sensor directly.
