1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing one of our easy operation highly qualified products. You now may enjoy the
excellences reflected on this series product. This 12MP HD digital camera was totally R&D by our diligent
and smart engineers based on feedbacks and requirements from customers globally. May you also enjoy
and adore this product as we do. And our company is always open-minded with willing to adopt creative
ideas from you.
1.1 Fully Functionality Introduction
Besides all the functions you may experience from any other similar product. This digital camera is aimed
to offer user the most easy to use experience with many extraordinary features, like 92°FOV lens, 56pcs
60° IR LEDs, 0.4 seconds trigger time, and 1 photo/sec (up to 5 photos per trigger) multi-shot to capture
the whole track of object, user friendly operational menu, etc.
1.2 Application
This digital camera is an ideal product for housing security, warehouse surveillance, and monitoring wild
animals with its camouflage appearance and nice shape. It is convenient to install or fasten, could be used
to take photographs manuallyand carry on long-time videos in Test mode.
a. Instant surveillance camera for home, office, construction site, and warehouse,etc
b. Motion-triggered infra-red night vision surveillance;
c.Animal observation and hunting;
1.3 Power Supply
A. Batteries
Camera runs on 8 AA size batteries (12V power supply to ensure camera well performance of all
functions); can work with alkaline, high-quality NiMH, and Lithium rechargeable batteries. But we suggest
to run camera with NiMH and Lithium batteries only as performance of alkaline batteries is much poorer
than either NiMH or Lithium batteries.
Batteries should be inserted as indicated inside the battery case. Upside down batteries electrode may
cause device malfunction. Also, we strongly recommend changing the batteries when power icon on
camera screen orphoto stamp is empty.
Note: Don’t mix batteries types! Different batteries to be used in camera may cause permanent
damage which also violates warranty policy!
Due to different settings, objects activities within camera detection zone, different brands and quality of
batteries, and using environment, etc; we’re not able to list out exact number of photos and videos that
camera can achieve. So given table below only shows approximate number of photos or videos camera
can take with 8AA alkaline batteries; better performance can be given by 8 AA rechargeable NiMH and
Lithium batteries.

B. Solar Panel
To bring users better using experience, our engineers designed this camera to be able to work with most
standard 12V/1~2 A lithium battery build-in solar panels. However, as rechargeable AA NiMH or lithium
batteries need higher voltage for charging that solar panel can’t charge the batteries in using in camera
batteries cases.
C. Power Adaptor—Security Surveillance Purpose
This camera can also be powered by an external 12V/ 1~2A DC adapter. Recommend to remove the AA
size batteries when power adapter is used. Electricalpower is recommended for security purposes.
1.4 SD Card Selection
Using a memory card is required to operate the camera. When the camera is "ON" and no memory
card is used, the screen displays "Pls insert memory card". The SD slot of the camera has a 32 GB
memory capacity. Before inserting or removing the memory card, the camera must be turned "OFF".
Failing to do so may cause loss of or damage the pictures already recorded from the memory card. When
the SD card is full, the viewing screen indicates "Memory Full". The following data shows an approximate
quantityof photos which can be recorded bythe camera depending on the memory card capacity.
Chart below will show you the approximate capacity of different size SD cards. Pls check to see
which size card can fit your needs best.

mode.
1.6 Attention
1. Insert the SD memory card correctly, camera does not supportSD card hot swap (insertion).
2. Please use high-qualityAAbatteries in order to prevent battery cells from corrosion of leaked acid.
3. Use right adaptor (12V/1Aor 2A) of this camera to supply power, and do not invert the electrode when
put in batteries.
4. In Test mode, camera will automatically enter PIR Auto mode if no keypad touching within 60 sec.
Please manually turn ONit as if you want todo some further configuration.
5. Don’t interrupt power supply during system upgrade, please deliver it back to factory if the device
doesn’t work after upgrading.
6. Do not frequently insert or pull out SD card and battery or plug in and out the adaptor when the camera
is on.
7. Do not have any floating objects, such as leaves, strings, or ribbons in the 3M motion detection zone of
cameras, to avoid mistaking photograph or videos.
8. Do not keep camera next to hot irrelevant objects, air conditioner exhaust vents, and light, etc. to avoid
mistaking photos or videos.
9. Camera is with a 92° FOV lens which means more flash is needed to get better night time images than
the average 52° FOV lens from market; that’s why 56pcs 60° IR LEDs are used on this camera. But
ensure these 56pcs IR LEDs can give enough flash to back the wide angle lens up that high qualified AA
batteries must be applied accordingly to deliver enough amperage to power the illuminator consistently in
dark environments.
10. Programmed Date/Time can be saved in camera for 12 hours as long as camera was powered 1 hour
above.
