2.7 GPS Positioning and LBS Update Time of camera
With the built-in GPS module, when the 4G sending status is not set to off, it
can automatically search for GPS satellite signals and update the coordinate
and time to camera after positioning successfully.
At outdoors, after the correct connection of the camera and external display,
switch to the ON position to enter the TEST mode, the GPS module begins
to automatically search the signals for position and will show prompt
message on the display, when positioning successfully, the display
screen will show the GPS coordinate such as
and update the time and coordinate to camera menu.
In the ON mode, the camera will automatically startup at positioning
time(00:13) for GPS positioning and update the time and coordinates
simultaneously to camera.
Before installing the camera outdoors, please connect the camera with
external display, switch camera to ON position to enter the TEST mode, wait
for about 1~3 minutes to see the if the GPS satellite signals of the place
where the camera located could be searched or not.
Attention: GPS could only receive satellite signals in the outside place
where can see the sky, there can also seriously affect GPS to receive
satellite signals in the places with dense forests or under buildings. To
ensure the good performance of the GPS function, please install the
camera in the open air and try to avoid objects above the camera.
LBS update time requires the camera with SIM card inserted and network
connected, with the correct connection of the camera and external display,
switch to the ON position to enter the TEST mode, the 4G module starts
LBS positioning when receiving the network signal. When LBS positioning is
successful, the display will show prompt message and
automatically update the time of camera system

15
In the ON mode, the 4G module will be activated to LBS positioning and
update the time to camera when camera starts searching for GPS satellite
signals per day.
Attention: Both GSP and LBS has a function of updating the time of the
camera(some areas do not support LBS), pls take the latest updated
time as the criterion. LBS positioning speed is faster, when the GPS
satellite signals cannot be searched, the time can also be updated
through LBS, but cannot update the coordinates.
2.8 Automatic Infrared Sensing Shooting
Without inserting the external button control box with display screen, set
the switch to the ON position and then enter the automatic infrared camera
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. When the red light is off, the camera
enters the automatic shooting mode. When there is a game or other objects
into the PIR induction area, the camera will immediately start taking picture
or video.
The camera has a dual range of long-range infrared sensing technology,
it is able to sense the animal and activate in advance before it enters the
shooting area, so that the camera enters the status of ready to shoot, the
camera will shoot immediately when the animal enter the shooting area. So
that you can capture the picture of fast passing animal which in the middle of
the picture. If the game enters the dual range of long-range infrared sensing
area and then exit, the camera will automatically shut down and enter
standby mode after a period of time, start shooting again when the animals
pass the camera next time.
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.
2.9 Low Power dual PIR Sensor
In order to extend the working hours of the camera battery, our
company has developed the low power dual PIR sensor based on the

16
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. To save battery power, an Infer-Red camera is in
sleep/standby mode, with only the PIR sensor working. When a person or
an animal is detected by the PIR sensor, the camera powers on and starts
shooting, then it would enter standby mode after shooting. The time period
from being sensing animal to taking the photos is called trigger time. The
trigger time varies among different scouting camera brands on the market,
generally from 1 to 5 plus seconds. Our LTL ACORN scouting camera has
an impressive 0.8 seconds trigger time. The shorter of the trigger timer ,
the higher possibility to capture the animal.
Ltl-6511-4G (EXT.LCD) camera adopts the latest patented technology of the
Ltl Acorn, horizontal dual-PIR (pyroelectric infrared sensor) design, this
solution has the following advantages:
1、Standby time is long. The camera uses the low power dual PIR sensor
of the latest R & D, reducing the camera's standby current to 65~180uA, which
greatly extends the camera's standby time.
2、Shorten the time required for shooting. The two side PIR sensors
come up with a 100 degrees angle of induction, it is far more than the
camera lens angle of 52 degrees. When the game reaches the side PIR
area, the camera powers on in advance and gets ready to shoot. If the
object continues into the overlapping area of left and right PIR sensor, the
camera takes pictures immediately, capturing the whole body of the game.
That process could be as short as 0.2 seconds. Usually, when the game
passes quickly, the traditional camera may catch a part of it only, or nothing
at all, while our camera can capture the complete picture of the game. In the
case the game only enters the sensing area of the side prep sensor but not

17
sensing area of the centre PIR, the system is designed to be powered off
after 5 seconds.
3、Enhanced the camera's anti-jamming capability. As the camera is
placed in different environments, it may be subject to varying
electromagnetic interference. The camera uses a dual-PIR design, only
triggers to take picture when both sides of the PIR are detecting the game,
to avoid false shooting caused by insufficient capability of anti-interference
of single PIR.
4、Detect the position of the game. When game comes into detective
area from random direction, the corresponding PIR will feedback to camera
processor. The system would judge if there is game enters dual-PIR sensing
area, whether it is in sense activation area of left/right PIR or in overlapping
shooting area of left and right.
Attention: Side PIR function is available for the model without wide
angle lens.
2.10 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,
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.
2.11 4G sleep function
When the 4G send mode is set as send immediately and remote control
interval is set as 00 hour, the module can enter the sleep status after a
sensing trigger and send successfully in ON mode.
