OPTIONAL POWER SOURCES
AA BATTERIES
This camera can be powered by 8 AA batteries
(1.5V). The use of alkaline or lithium batteries is
recommended.
To ensure maximum performance of the camera
and prevent battery leaks, we recommend the
use of new batteries. Make sure to insert each battery
with the correct polarity. (Negative or at end against
the metal spring plate) Do not mix battery type - use
ALL alkaline or ALL lithium. Do not mix old and
new batteries. Rechargeable AA batteries are not
recommended as the lower voltage can cause
operational issues.
LITHIUM BATTERY PACK
This camera can be powered by a rechargeable
lithium battery pack LIT-09/LIT-C-8 (sold separa-
tely). This type of battery is less aected by cold
temperatures and lasts up to 2 times longer than
alkaline batteries.
EXTERNAL (12V)
This camera can also be powered by an
external 12-volt DC input such as a 12-volt
battery (KIT-12V, BATT-12V or KIT6V/12V) or a 12-
volt adapter (AD-12V), sold separately. You can't
plug another solar pannel directly in the 12-volt port
as it will not recharge the internal battery. You may
use can instead an external 12v battery and plug
another solar panel on it if you do choose so.

INTERNAL RECHARGEABLE BATTERY & SOLAR PANEL
First, look at the internal battery percentage in the DETECTION TEST menu.
If the percentage is low and the battery logo is not green, you will need to
charge the camera for 24-48 hours before use. While charging, make sure
the camera is turned off and the solar panel is facing down so it does not
interfere with the USB charging process.
Plug the cable from the 12V port at the bottom of the camera and
connect it to a USB port. (ex. USB power adaptor or a computer that will
stay awake while charging) Once plugged, the screen will turn on and it will
show the charging battery level for 10 seconds. Press the OK button once
more to see the battery level reappear.
• When a single line remains, the camera will continue to take photos. If
a video is being recorded and the battery level reaches 25%, the camera
saves the le before shutting down.
● If the power of the internal battery becomes insucient, the
camera will shut down. Once the battery has been charged
suciently by the solar panel, the camera will automatically turn
on leaving the settings untouched.
● An optional power source can be added as a backup to the
internal rechargeable battery for maximum protection.
● Make sure that there are no objects obstructing the solar panel,
that it is not shaded by unwanted obstacles and/or foreign
materials.
● You need at least 50% of the solar panel cleared for maximum
performance.

MEMORY CARD
A memory card is required to record photos and videos. The camera is
compatible with SD/SDHC memory cards, up to 32 GB capacity (sold
separately).
The screen displays "Insert Memory Card" when the camera is turned on
and no memory card is used.
Here is a table of the approximate number of photos and length of videos
that can be recorded with dierent memory card capacities. Many photo and
video resolutions are noted, see those corresponding to the camera.
Note: This SPYPOINT camera is equiped with continuous le recording.
When the memory card is full, the camera will continue to record photos or
videos by deleting the rst recorded les.

INSERTING THE MEMORY CARD
Before inserting or removing a memory card, always turn o the camera to
prevent loss or damage of the photos already recorded. Also make sure that
the switch on the side of the card is not in the LOCK position.
Insert an SD/SDHC memory card (up to 32 GB capacity) in the card slot
with the label side facing upward. The card is inserted correctly when a click
is heard.
We suggest to format your SD card if it's been in another electronic
device to make sure you will have the maximum capacity of your
memory card.
REMOVING THE MEMORY CARD
Lightly press the memory card into the camera once to pop it out of the slot
and remove it.
BUSY LED
The BUSY light is located at the back of the camera. It is a diagnostic tool.
It lights up when the camera starts, when the camera records a le and
in TEST mode at the same time as the test light (located in front of the
camera).

LAPSE mode. When a mode is selected, the test light in front of the
camera will ash for 30 seconds and a countdown will appear on the
screen to allow the user to leave the area without being photographed.
DETECTION TEST
Allows the user to test the detection system of the camera. When the
DETECTION TEST mode is selected, no photo or video is recorded. Walk
perpendicularly in front of the camera. When the camera detects a
movement, the busy light blinks to indicate that normally, a photo
or video would have been recorded. If the system does not detect
the movement, increase the detection distance using the
"Sensitivity" option in the settings menu. Realigning the camera can
also be required.

Settings
PHOTO SETTINGS
Sets the options of the PHOTO mode.
Delay:
(Instant/10s/1m/3m/5m/10m/15m/30m)
Allows the user to choose the time interval between each detection be-
fore the camera records the next photo. A longer delay minimizes the
number of photos taken and maximizes the battery life. A shorter delay
maximizes the number of photos taken but requires more battery power.
A shorter delay interval is recommended when the camera is used for
security purposes.
Multi-shot:
(1/2/3 consecutive shots)
Takes up to 3 consecutive shots at each detection, with a 5-second
delay between each photo. This option allows the user to get up to 3
photos when the camera is in PHOTO mode.
TIME LAPSE SETTINGS
Sets the options of the TIME LAPSE mode.
Interval:
(3m/5m/15m/30m/1h)
Allows the camera to take photos at regular preset intervals. For example,
if the option "5m" is selected in the TIME LAPSE mode, the camera takes
a photo every 5 minutes even if there is no detection. This option allows
the user to obtain photos of game outside the detection range of the
camera.
Note: The TIME LAPSE mode only applies for photos, not videos. When
the TIME LAPSE mode is selected, the DELAY option and the MULTI-
SHOT mode are disabled.
VIDEO SETTINGS
Sets the options of the VIDEO mode.
Delay:
(Instant/10s/1m/3m/5m/10m/15m/30m)
Allows the user to choose the time interval between each detection before
the camera records the next video. A longer delay minimizes the number
of videos taken and maximizes the battery life. A shorter delay maximizes
the number of videos taken but requires more battery power. A shor-
ter delay interval is recommended when the camera is used for security
purposes.
Video length:
(10s/30s/60s/90s)
Allows the user to select the duration of the recording when the camera
is set in VIDEO mode.

Recommended settings
The camera can be congured for usage in trails. This situation usually
presents low activity level, fast subjects and a small number of photos is
expected. These settings increase the chances of capturing animals that
follow each other.
The camera can also be congured for usage at a feeder's site. This
situation usually presents high activity level, slow subjects and a large
number of photos is expected. These settings moderate the number of
photos taken while capturing overall activity on the feeder's site.
Here is a table showing the suggested settings for each situation:
Trail Feeder
Delay Instant 5 min
Multi-shots 1 2-3
When these recommended settings are not adapted to the situation,
battery life can be aected.
Photo rst:
(On/O)
When this option is enabled, a photo is taken immediately before each
video.
Note: The le name of the photo corresponds to the digit before the
video le name. For example, if the name of the photo is PICT001.JPG,
the name of the video will be VID001.AVI.

Installation & Mounting bracket
INSTALLATION
Recommended installation height:
The camera should be installed at the same height as the animal’s mid-body.
Ideal installation for quality pictures & videos:
The targeted animal should be 25 feet / 7.5m away from the camera for a
better eld of view.
To get brighter pictures at night , you should have elements in the
background to reect back the IR ash to the camera. (e.g. Trees or fence)
Make sure the front of the camera is free of any obstructions. The area of
installation should be cleared from branches or bushes. These could be res-
ponsible for triggering false detections when combined with heat, reections
and/or wind. Setting the sensitivity level of the camera too high can also
result in false detections by unwanted movement.

1. Push the tab to release the camera from the mounting bracket.
2. Remove the camera.
