1.1 General Description
This is a powerful and reliable digital scouting and infrared
surveillance camera with a wide-angle lens, triggered by any
movement of humans or animals monitored by a high sensitive
Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor, and automatically captures
high quality pictures (32MP) or records video clips (1920x1080P)
according to default settings or preset settings.
This camera uses the invisible flash night vision LEDs for night time
illumination. These LEDs will not have a red grow when illuminated,
so that a trespasser or game will not be able to detect the presence of
this camera. Also, it delivers clear photos or videos (in black &white)
even in the dark. It can take crisp color photos or videos under
sufficient daylight. The camera is designed for outdoor use and is
resistant against water and snow.
1.2 Camera Body Interfaces
The camera has the following I/O interfaces: USB connector, SD card
slot and external DC power connector. Take a few moments to
familiarize yourself with the camera controls and displays. It is helpful
to bookmark this section and refer to it when reading through the rest
of the manual.
