1.1 Introduction:
The Selecta Wide Angle Motion Activated Security Camera can be triggered by sudden change of
ambient temperature caused by movement in a region of interest (ROI), which is detected by a highly
sensitive Passive Infra-Red (PIR) sensor, and then take pictures or video clips automatically even in
the total darkness thanks to the build-in infrared LED flash. High quality pictures (up to 12 mega
pixels) or video clips are taken consequently upon the triggering.
SECURE120 features:
•12 Mega Pixels Color CMOS
•Wide Angle Lens 120° Field of View (More suitable for capturing objects closer to the camera)
•Records Photos and/or Video
•Audio recording function available
•Sharp and bright color pictures in daytime. Nighttime (black/white) pictures are clear thanks
to enhanced invisible flash capacity
•Low standby power consumption. *Extremely long in-field life (in standby mode, up to 3,6 or
9 months with 4, 8 or 12 x AA batteries. Note: *Requires good quality batteries, preferably
camera batteries to achieve maximum standby time period without activity.
•Singular 140° PIR Motion sensor matched to the Camera Field of View
•Perform in the most extreme temperatures from -30°C to 70°F
•Trigger (or response) time 0.85 second
•Serial Number function enables you to record an 4 character alpha-numeric name onto photos.
This helps multi-camera users identify the location when reviewing the photos
•Date, time can be stamped in the pictures (as well as temperature and moon phase)
•Lockable and password protected
Note the SECURE120 doesn’t not feature MMS functionality (other premium models of this camera
are made to feature MMS function and those cameras which have a SIM card slot in the camera).
Some menu option refers to MMS however they will not affect the operation of the SECURE120.
1.2 Application:
•Motion-triggered security camera, for home, office and community
•Trail camera for hunting, stock monitoring
•Event observation (also refer to time lapse function)
•All other indoor/outdoor surveillance where invasion evidence needed

General Information (cont.)

The camera provides the following connections for external devices: USB port, SD card slot, TV out
jack, and external DC power in jack. The 3-way Power/Mode Switch is used to select the main
operation modes: OFF, ON and TEST (Also called SET).
If you are not familiar with the operation of this camera, the following instructions will help you get
a quick overview. Before doing any operation, please make sure you have loaded batteries and
plugged the SD card correctly. If the SD card is not inserted correctly or its write-protect is enabled,
the device will give you a long beep and turn off automatically.
2.1 Load Batteries:
To install batteries on the camera, please follow the instructions below.
1) Unlock the two buckles and open the camera, the right part is battery box.
2) Open the battery cover and load 4 / 8 / 12 pieces batteries.
To supply power, it is recommended to use new high-performance alkaline AA batteries, low self-
discharge Ni-MH or Lithium rechargeable AA batteries with a high mAh rating.
CAUTION: If you are not using the camera for an extended period of time, it is highly recommended
that you remove the batteries from the camera to avoid possible acid leak that may damage the
camera which would void the warranty.
Alternatively, the camera can run on an external 6V DC power source (optional, user provided).
When both external powerand batteries are connected, the camera will be powered by the external
one.
2.2 Insert SD Card:
The camera does not come with internal memory. So, it will not work without a SD (Secure Digital)
memory card or SDHC (High Capacity) card. Before inserting the SD card into the card slot, please
make sure the write-protect switch on the side of the SD card is “off” (NOT in the “Lock” position).
The supported memory capacity is up to 16GB. If you use a card capable of above 32GB, make sure
you test it before putting the camera in use. Because of the HD720P video resolution, SDHC card
are recommended.
CAUTION: ALWAYS SWITCH THE CAMERA TO OFF MODE BEFORE INSTALLING OR
REMOVING THE BATTERIES OR THE SD CARD.

Quick Start

2.3 Enter Test Mode:
Switch to the TEST position to enter the Test mode. In this mode you can take pictures or video clips
like a regular digital camera or enter the Menu to set up parameters. On the keypad there are four
“shortcut” functional keys (see Figure 2-1) working as below:
Figure 2.1: Function Keys
•Press the key to set the camera to shoot video clips.
•Press the key to set the camera to take still pictures.
•Press the SHOT key to manually trigger the shutter. A photo or video (depending on the
camera setting) will be taken and saved to the SD card. If the display shows “CARD PROTECTED”
when you press the SHOT key, switch the power OFF, remove the SD card and slide its write-
protect switch to off.
•Press the REPLAY key to review/playback photos/videos on the LCD screen, or a connected
TV monitor. Use and key to navigate.
There is another key, MENU, on the keypad that allows you to program the camera to work the way
you want. Please refer to 3.1 Parameter Settings in the Advanced Operation section.
Under the test mode, one useful function you would like is testing the work area of the PIR (Passive
Infrared) sensor, specifically the sensing angle and monitoring distance. To perform the test:
•First strap the camera on a tree aiming the region of interest (ROI).
•Walk slowly from one side of the ROI to the other parallel to the camera. Try different distances
and angles from the camera.
•If the Motion Indicator flashes blue, it indicates the position from where you were detected by
one of the side Prep PIR sensors. If the Motion Indicator flashes red, it indicates the position from
where you were captured by the main PIR sensor.
By doing this test, you can find the best placement when mounting and aiming the Our scouting
camera. In general, you are recommended to place the camera 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) above the
ground.
To avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances, please do not aim the
camera at a heat source (i.e. the sun) or nearby tree branches and limbs. The ideal direction to aim
at is North or South. Also, remove any limbs close to the front of the camera.
Quick Start (cont.)

2.4 Enter Live Mode:
Switch to the ON position to enter the Live mode. The indicator LED will blink for several seconds.
This period is for you to make the camera ready for the working condition: close the camera and
battery box and lock it, mount the camera on a tree and walk away. After entering the Live mode,
the camera will begin to take picture or video according to the previous programmed setting when
human or animal enters monitor area.
Before entering the Live mode please pay attention to the following:
1) The polarity of the power is correct, and the power is enough
2) The SD card has enough space and its write-protection is disabled
3) The Power switch is at the ON position
4) Avoiding temperature and motion disturbances in front of the device such as big leaf, curtain, air-
conditioner, air outlet of the chimney and other heat sources to prevent false trigger.
2.5 Review Picture or Video:
There are two ways to review captured picture or video:
1) TV monitor (or a SD-card viewer with a TV-in jack) Connect the camera to a TV monitor with the
