GENERAL INFORMATION
The manual applies to the model Ltl-6210MC PLUS and Ltl-6210WMC
PLUS. The camera design is novel, the display and operation buttons are
designed to the bottom of the camera, it is convenient for the users to
operate the menu and preview the shooting scene after mounting the
camera, moreover, the camera protection level is improved to IP68, which
greatly improve the camera's protection performance and operability.
The series of cameras use low-power dual PIR sensor wireless module
which belong to our company's latest research and development. Working in
the camera, low-power dual PIR sensor has the characteristics of high
accuracy and sensitivity, which avoid the camera mistaken or missed, as
well as low standby current. Camera standby current has reduced to
60~180uA, which greatly extends the camera standby time.
The basic principle of our infrared camera, with its Passive Infrared(PIR)
sensor, detects the infrared signal from animal or human body, triggers to
take pictures/videos automatically. The design of 44pcs infrared LED lights
makes Ltl-6210 PLUS series camera has better photo quality at night. It’s
the ideal camera for animal monitoring and security surveillance.Ltl-6210W
PLUS series with wide lens of 100°takes picture in a view 4 times wider in
range than other products of its kind.
Please read the USER’S MANUAL in details before starting for better
understanding and operation.

The camera provides the following connections for external devices: USB
2.0 port, SD card slot, and external DC power in jack. The 3-way
Power/Mode Switch is used to select the main operation modes: OFF, ON
and TEST.
To power up the camera, install four NEW high-performance alkaline or
lithium AA batteries in the camera. High energy and low temperature
resistant AA disposable lithium battery and low self-consuming AA Ni-MH
rechargeable battery are recommended to use. To achieve longer in-field life,
always install 12 AA batteries.
CAUTION: If you are not using the camera for an extended period of
time, it is highly recommended that you remove the batteries from the
camera to avoid possible acid leak that may damage the camera and
void the warranty.

Getting Started
2.1 Load Batteries
Open the bottom cover by pulling down the lock hole.
Push to open the front battery door and load 4 AA batteries. Open
the battery door of standby battery compartment and load 8 AA
batteries (make sure the polarity matches the sign on the cover).
Push to close the battery door.
Make sure the 12 new and full AA alkaline batteries are loaded.
As a choice, the external DC power supply (optional) of 6V~12V with output
current higher than 2A can be used in camera. The camera will choose the
external DC power supply as priority when the external power supply and
battery are connected at the same time. Our Ltl-SUN external solar
panel(optional for purchase)is recommended, the camera may work for
more than 2 years in the wild without changing batteries.
2.2 Insert SD Card
The camera does not come with internal memory. It will not work without a
SD (Secure Digital) memory card or SDHC (High Capacity) card. Before
inserting the SD card into the card slot, please make sure the write-protect
switch on the side of the SD card is “off” (NOT in the “Lock” position). The
supported memory capacity is up to 32GB. If you use a card capable of
above 32GB, make sure you test it before putting the camera to use.

Always format the SD card on the CAMERA when using it for the first
time. Switch to the TEST position to enter the Test mode. Press MENU
button to access the main menu. Scroll down to Format. Press OK to format
the SD card.
2.3 Set up Camera on PC
After formatting the SD card on the camera pop the SD card out and insert it
into your computer. (If your computer cannot read SD cards on its own, you
would need to purchase a SD card reader) Of course, you can also directly
connect the camera with your PC using a USB cable.
Please visit the website http://www.ltlacorn.cn/?languageId=2 download the
PC setup software.

to enter the TEST mode. Message“Updated menu.dat Successfully”show up
on the TFT display, indicating the setup file has been successfully installed on
the camera.
Click and go back to the main menu.
ATTENTION: THE PASSWORD CAN ONLY BE SET UP ON THE CAMERA,
NOT ON THE PC.

2.4 Enter Live Mode
Switch camera to the ON position to enter the live mode. After entering
this mode, the red indicator light on the front of the camera will flash for
five times. When the red light goes out, the camera enters the automatic
shooting state. It will immediately take pictures or record videos when
person or animal enters the area of the PIR sensor.
The camera with the double area remote infrared sensing
technology and is able to be triggered and powered on before the
object entering the shooting area, it will shoot immediately when the
object enters the shooting area. It makes the camera is able to capture
the objects which passing by quickly and object would be in the centre
of the picture. If, however the object roams away after a while and
never alert the main sensor, the camera will power off and resume
standby mode, wait to activate to shoot till the object pass by again.
Caution: To avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and
motion disturbances, please do not aim the camera at a heat source
(e.g.: the sun, heated stone or metal) or nearby tree branches and
twigs. The ideal direction to aim at is the north and the open place
without heat source. Also, remove any twigs close to the front of the
camera.
2.5 Advantages of Prep Sensors
In order to extend the working hours of the camera battery, our
company has developed the low power dual PIR sensor based on the
original dual PIR infrared sensor. The low power dual PIR sensor
optimizes the accuracy and anti-jamming capability of the camera,
avoiding the mistaken shot and missed shot, and reducing the
camera's standby current, moreover, it will automatically adjust the
sensitivity of PIR sensing. Camera will enter Sleep mode when it is
working, with only the PIR sensor working, at this time, the whole
camera only consumes ultra low current at 60~180uA. When the
person or animal is detected by the PIR sensor, the camera will
automatically start and shoot photo, then enters Sleep mode again
after shooting as settings. The period from animal or human entering
PIR sensing area to shooting photo, we call it as trigger time. The

11
shorter of the trigger time, the higher of the possibility to capture the
animal.
With the unique side prep PIR sensors design, our LTL ACORN
cameras reduce the trigger time greatly. The combination of the two
side prep sensors and the middle main PIR sensor comes up with a
100 degrees induction range, usually the animal will enter this large
induction range from the two sides of camera, then camera will start
immediately. The induction angle of middle PIR sensor almost equals
to the shooting angle of the lens, if the animal continue to enter to the
induction scope of middle PIR sensor, camera would take photos
immediately, which trigger time is less than 0.2 seconds, and it is the
actual sensing time of our double PIR technology, usually the animal is
in the middle position of the photo which is taken at this time.
There is one condition that the animal only enters the induction
scope of side prep PIR sensor but not middle PIR sensor, camera
would turn off after 5 seconds as it’s out of the camera lens shooting
scope.
Note: The side PIR function is only available for the cameras that are
not wide-angle lens.
2.6 Brightness adjustment of night picture
Switch the camera to TEST mode and enter Camera mode, press
key to adjust the brightness of night picture which will apply to ON mode,

12
it’s good to avoid overexposure when the object is too close to the camera
and brightness is high.
Three settings of brightness are available for night picture, High,
Medium and Low:
High: the highest brightness of night picture between three settings.
Medium: the brightness is slightly weaker than High settings.
Low: the lowest brightness of night picture between three settings.
Default setting of the brightness of night picture is High. When adjust
brightness in the TEST mode, first press key to check the present
status of the night picture brightness, press again to adjust the brightness to
High, Medium or Low, the camera will automatically save the brightness
setting you selected, exit the brightness setting in 4 seconds if no operation.
2.7 Connect to PC
You can connect the camera to PC with the USB cable to enter storage
mode to read and write the files in SD card inserted in camera.
First switch camera to TEST mode, then connect camera to PC with USB
cable, the camera enters storage mode when it starts and the PC is able to
read and write the files in SD card inserted in camera.
