Introduction
With its highly sensitive 120° Passive Infra-Red (PIR) sensor,
the camera detects the sudden change in ambient
temperature caused by moving game in a region of interest
(ROI), triggers to take pictures/videos, so that you won’t
miss anything walking in front of your camera.

Installation
Power Supply
Batteries Installation
Open the camera by unlocking the latch firstly.
The battery compartment is the right part of the
camera. Open the battery cover and
insert 8x1.5v LR6/AA batteries (or NI-MH
rechargeable batteries) into the battery slots.
Make sure to insert each battery with correct
polarity (+ and - end against the long spring of
each battery slot).
Using an External Power Source
Optionally, you can connect an external 6V DC
power source with at least 1.5A to the port ‘DC
In’ port at the bottom of the camera. The
power connector is a 3.5x1.35 mm coaxial DC
power plug with positive ‘tip’ (inside pin)
polarity. Leave internal batteries in the camera
during use.
• Insert the SD card into the card slot. A "click"
sound indicates that the card is installed
successfully. If the wrong side of the card is
facing up, you will not be able to insert it
without trying to force it in. There is only
one correct way to insert the SD cards.
•To take out the SD card, just gently push in
the card (do not try to pull it out without
pushing in first). The card is released from
the slot and ready to be removed when you
hear the "click" sound.
Inserting the SD Card
The camera uses a Micro SD (Secure Digital)
memory card to save photos (in jpg format) and/
or videos (in .AVI format). SD and SDHC (High
Capacity) cards up to a maximum 32GB capacity
are supported.
Insert the SD card (with the camera’s power
switch in the OFF position) before beginning to
operate the camera. Don’t insert or remove the
SD card when the power switch is in the ON
position.
Note:
Note:
•NEVER INSTALL DIFFERENT TYPES
OF BATTERIES or NEW AND OLD
BATTERIES in the product at the
same time.
•Anytime you load or unload
batteries, make sure that the
camera is OFF. If using external
power source, do not remove
internal batteries.
•Be sure the camera’s power is
switched OFF before inserting or
removing SD cards or batteries.
• Camera will not operate without a
memory card installed.

Camera Operation
Mode Switch
Modes
OFF Mode
The OFF mode is the "safe" mode where all
actions should occur (e.g., Replacing the SD card,
batteries, or transporting the device).
ON Mode
In the ON mode, the camera will automatically
take photos or videos when triggered by the PIR
sensor's detection of activity in the area it covers.
(according to its current parameter settings)
TEST Mode
In the TEST mode, you can check and change
the settings of the camera with the help of its
built-in LCD. These settings, found in the TEST
Menu, let you change the photo or video
resolution, interval between photos, switch the
time imprint on, etc.
Photo: Capture photos with motion detection.
Video: Capture video clips with motion detection.
Photo + Video: Capture both photos and videos
with motion detection.
There are three basic operational modes:
•OFF mode: Power switch in the OFF position
(LCD screen is off).
•ON mode: Power switch in the ON position
(LCD screen is on).
•TEST mode: Power switch at TEST position.
Change Setting in
TEST Mode
The main purpose of the TEST mode is to allow
you to change the settings of the camera’s
parameters so that your trail camera operates
exactly the way you want it to.
• Press the UP key, then press SHOT to take a
video for test.
• Press the DOWN key, then press SHOT to
take photo for test.
• Pressing the MENU button, the setting
menus will appear on the screen.
• Press the UP or DOWN key to scroll to the
next or previous parameter.
• Press the RIGHT or LEFT key to change the
setting.
• Press the OK button to save the new setting.
• Press the MENU button to exit the settings.

12
Audio Recording
(1-2 Minutes)
You can record sound while recording a video.
Shot Lag
Set the time period that the camera should wait
before reacting to subsequent activation of the
main sensor after the initial recording. During the
selected interval, the camera will not record any
images or videos. This prevents the memory card
from being filled up with too many recordings of
the same event. You can select between 5-60
seconds or 1-60 minutes.
Side Motion Sensors
The default setting is "On". The two side PIR
sensors provide a wider sensing angle and
enhance response time. However, you might have
difficulty removing the interfering twigs in some
situations or avoiding the sunlight. If so, you have
the option to turn off the side sensors.
Sensitivity Motion
Sensors
The sensitivity of the main motion sensor can be
set here. For interior areas and environments with
little interference, such as branches blowing in the
wind, select "High". Select "Medium" for exterior
areas and environments with a normal amount of
interference, and select "Low" for environments
with a high level of interference.
Please note that the temperature may also affect
the sensitivity. The "High" setting is suitable for
warm ambient temperatures, whereas "Low"
should be selected for cold temperatures.
Camera Operation
Photo Resolution
Set resolution for still photos. We recommend the
resolution 8MP.
Options:
1MP - 1280x960
3MP - 2048x1536
5MP - 2592x1944
8MP - 3264x2448
12MP - 4000x3000
16MP - 4608x3456
20MP - 5200x3900
32MP - 6480x4860
Photo Series
Selects how many photos will be taken in
sequence per trigger. In addition to single shot
mode (1 photo), you can take "2 photos in series",
"10 photos in series".
Video Resolution
Select video resolution.
Options:
3840x2160/10fps
2688x1520/20fps
1920x1080/30fps
1280x720/60fps
1280x720/30fps
720x480/30fps
640x480/30fpss
320x240/30fps
Video Length
Set the length of each video clip recorded and
each time motion is detected (between 3-60
seconds or 1-2 minutes). The longer the
recording time selected, the shorter the
operating time.

13
Camera Operation
Target Recording Time
Select "On" if the camera should only be active
during a specific time. You can then set the start
and end time for the active phase in the screen
menu that subsequently appears. The settings
made here apply every day.
The camera will not record any images outside of
the active phase.
Time Lapse
Time-lapse model disables the PIR sensor;
instead, it takes photos or records video clip
automatically at your choice of intervals. This has
the advantage of scouting further distances that
is out of the PIR sensor’s range, such as big open
areas (food plots, fields, etc.) or monitoring the
flowering, sunrise, and sunset.
When you confirm "On" by clicking the OK
button, you can then set the desired time interval
using the menu that now appears.

Camera Operation
Aligning The Camera
In TEST mode you can work out the optimum
exposure angle and the range of the motion
sensors.
During alignment, consider whether the use
of the side motion sensors may be useful for
attaining the desired observation results. You can
activate/deactivate the side motion sensors using
the above-described menu,
Align the camera as follows:
Fasten the camera to a tree or similar object at
a height of 3-6 feet and align the camera in the
desired direction. Then move slowly from one
side of the target area to the other side. While
doing this, monitor the motion display.
• If this lights up in blue, you have been
detected by one of the activated side motion
sensors, If it lights up in red, you have been
detected by the front motion sensor. This
way, you can work out the best alignment for
the camera.
The motion display only lights up when the
operating mode selector switch is in the SET
position and one of the motion sensors has
detected movement. During normal operation,
there will be no LED display.
To ensure that the camera does not record
unwanted recordings of relevant movements,
it should not be set up in a sunny location or
close to branches that can move in the wind. The
recording angle of the sensors is about 100°
from corner to corner; and the recording field for
photos and videos are around 89°.
CAMERA IS READY TO USE - Switch
to ON
AFTER CHANGING TO DESIRED SETTING and
SIMPLY SLIDING SWITCHES TO ON POSITION, the
camera is in active standby mode and will record
media according to the switch settings.
Firstly, the motion indicator LED will blink
red for about 15 seconds. Any motion is
detected by the side PIR sensor; the camera
will be active without trigger. As soon as the
further motion is detected by the central
PIR sensor within 5 minutes, the camera will
take photos or videos. Otherwise, the unit
will return to standby state.
