Notes:
Read the manual and description of the menus carefully to fully understand each
setting.
Step by step test each setting made to check how it works.
Executing an unfamiliar setting can lead to improper operation of the camera.
You can return to the factory settings and resume the configuration, if the camera
behaves dierently after certain settings made by you.
After completing the settings, switch to the ON position again.
3. Network connection
A 4G SIM must be inserted in the camera. When you switch to the SETUP
position, the screen lights up and the camera automatically searches for
signal. Connecting to the GSM network can take 60-120 seconds.
Once the camera is connected to the network, the signal indicator will appear
on the screen.
Move to ON position to switch the camera to “motion detection” mode. For
a proper operation of the image sending process in case of motion detection,
the signal strength must have at least two bars.
If a pop-up with the message “SIM Auto Match failed” appears on the screen,
go to the 4G menu - SIM Auto Match. Select Manual. Then access the
4G-Manual setup menu and complete the APN of the GSM operator used.
The camera will connect to the network automatically after restarting.

Using batteries to power the camera (alkaline or
rechargeable)
PNI Hunting 480C works with 8 AA alkaline or rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries. For better performance, we recommend using rechargeable Ni-
MH batteries. Set the type of battery inserted in the camera in the “Battery
type” menu.
Insert the batteries according to the polarity indicated on the housing. We
recommend changing the batteries when the “battery discharged” icon
appears on the camera screen.
Note: In order not to cause irreparable damage, do not introduce dierent types of
batteries in the camera, with dierent charge levels.
The number of photos that can be taken until the batteries are completely
discharged is variable and can be influenced by the following factors: settings
made in the camera, frequency of actions that trigger the camera, brand and
quality of batteries, environmental conditions, etc.
The table below shows an estimate of the images that can be taken with 8
AA alkaline batteries. Better performance can be achieved if rechargeable
Ni-MH batteries are used.

External power supply - for video surveillance
You can also power the camera with an external 12V/2A DC adapter. When
using external power, we recommend that you remove the batteries from the
camera to avoid overcharging.
External power supply is recommended only in security video surveillance
situations.
You can also use an external battery of 12V/minimum 7Ah protected from
rain and snow.
The SD card
An SD card is required to use the camera. When the camera is turned on but
no card is inserted, the “No card” warning appears on the screen. The camera
supports a maximum of 32GB. In order not to lose the files saved on the card,
when inserting or removing the card, the camera must be turned o.
When the card is full, “Memory full” appears on the screen.
The table below shows the approximate number of photos that can be saved
on a card depending on the capacity of the card.

Warnings
• Insert and remove the memory card and power supply only when the
camera is turned o.
• It is recommended to use good quality AA/R6 batteries to prevent
corrosion and acid leakage inside the camera.
• Use only a 12V/2A power supply to power the camera and do not reverse
the polarity when connecting the batteries.
• In test mode, the camera will turn o automatically in 3 minutes if no
button is pressed.
• Do not turn o the power to the device while the software update is in
progress. Our recommendation is to send the product to the seller for the
software update procedure, in order to eliminate the risk of irreparably
damaging the product.
• Remove branches or moving objects from the monitored area that may
cause false triggers and photos.
• Do not place the camera near equipment that emits heat, near fans, or
light sources to avoid taking false photos.
• The camera uses a 58 ° FOV lens and 60 IR LEDs. To ensure that the IR
LEDs give enough IR light, use only high-quality AA batteries that can
provide enough power and light constantly in dark environments.
• The camera works well if it is located at a distance of 10 - 15 cm from the
ground. If it is too close to the ground, the motion sensor will not work
properly. The motion sensor detects remotely and down.

OFF/ON
The 4G function can be deactivated. Thus, the
photos will no longer be transmitted.
Sensitivity
High/Middle/Low
The greater sensitivity to movement represents:
• Motion detection of small objects;
• Motion detection over longer distances;
• Easier for the sensor to detect the dierence
between the human body temperature and
the ambient temperature
• More frequent shots
If the ambient temperature is higher than the
human body temperature, it is more dicult to
detect movement, so we recommend setting the
camera to high sensitivity.
Delay
OFF/ON
Delay mean the preset motion sensor trigger
interval between 2 consecutive detections.
This interval prevents the camera from taking
too many pictures during continuous motion
detection.
Example: The camera will wait 1 minute before
taking the picture again at motion detection if the
time is set to 00:01:00
Configurable delay time from 3 seconds to 24
hours (00: 00: 03 ~ 23: 59: 59).
Caution: Do not activate the Delay and Time
Lapse functions simultaneously.
