POWER
The battery level is shown in the bottom right corner of the
screen when the camera is in «TEST» mode. When a single
line remains, the camera will continue to take pictures but we
strongly recommend changing the batteries before they are
empty. (See figure below)
Alkaline batteries
This camera requires the use of 6 AA batteries (1.5V). The
use of alkaline batteries is strongly recommended. Also note
that the voltage of rechargeable AA batteries (1.2V) is
insufficient to power your SPYPOINT camera. During the
installation of alkaline batteries, place the switch inside the
battery case to «ALKALINE». Insert the batteries as indicated
inside the battery case. Exact polarity must be followed. We
also recommend the use of new batteries to ensure maximum
performance of your camera.

Lithium battery pack with charger
The camera SPYPOINT BLOODLINE can be powered by a
rechargeable lithium battery LIT-C-8 (sold separately, refer to
the section «OPTIONS»). This type of battery is less affected
by cold temperatures and lasts up to 3 times more then an
alkaline battery. During the installation of lithium battery, place
the switch inside the battery case to «RECHARGEABLE».
12 volts Power
The camera SPYPOINT BLOODLINE can also be powered
from an external 12 volts DC input. When using a 12 volt
connection, we recommend you to remove the alkaline batteries
to prevent surcharges. To find the accessories available for the
12 volts, refer to the section «OPTIONS».
Solar panel
This model also offers the possibility of a connection to
a solar panel SP-12V (sold separately, refer to the section
«OPTIONS») to maintain the charge of the lithium battery
(sold separately, refer to the section «OPTIONS») or the 12
volt battery (sold separately, refer to the section «OPTIONS»).
During the installation of the rechargeable lithium battery or
12 volt battery, slide up the switch inside the battery case up
to «RECHARGEABLE» to activate the charging system of
the solar panel.
MEMORY CARD
Using a memory card is required to operate the camera
SPYPOINT BLOODLINE. When the camera is « ON » and no
memory card is used, the LCD panel displays « CArd » meaning
to insert one. The SD slot of the camera can accept memory
cards up to 32 GB capacity. Before inserting or removing the
memory card, the camera must be turned « OFF ». Failing to do
so may cause loss of or damage the pictures already recorded
from the memory card. When the SD card is full, the LCD panel
indicates « FULL ». The following data shows an approximate
quantity of photos which can be recorded by the camera
depending on the memory card capacity.

SETTINGS
Date, Time, Temperature and Picture Quality
Turn « OFF » your camera; set switch « MODE » to « SET/
TEST » and turn « ON » the camera. Press « MENU/OK ».
An « H » will flash on the screen indicating that the camera
is in High Resolution (7 MP). Use the « DOWN » button
if you want to reduce the resolution to « L » (3 MP). Press
« MENU/OK » to set the date and time. (mm/dd/yy,hh/mm) Use
« UP » and « DOWN » to change the blinking digit. Choose « F » or
« C » to display the temperature in Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius
(°C). Press « MENU/OK » to go to the next option. Once
finished, press « MENU/OK » and turn « OFF » the system to
save the changes.
MODE
When the « PHOTO » or « VIDEO » mode is selected, the
test light in the front of the camera flashes for 60 seconds to
allow the user to leave without being photographed or filmed.
When the « SET/TEST » mode is selected, no picture or video
is recorded. Walk perpendicularly in front of the camera. When
the camera detects movement, the light winks to indicate that
normally, a photo or video would be recorded. If the system does
not detect the movement, increase the distance detection using the
wheel « DISTANCE » or realign the system differently. When you
understand how the device responds to detections, you can better
adjust the direction or the height of the installation. When the
switch is set to « VIEW », you can view the recorded pictures
or videos on television.
English

DELAY
To select the time interval before the camera records another
photo or video. This option prevents from taking too many
photos or videos.
MULTI-SHOT
To take up to 4 consecutive shots at each detection, with a
10 second delay between each photo. This option allows
up to 4 pictures from different angles when the camera is in
« PHOTO » mode.
VIDEO LENGTH
Allows you to select the recording duration when the camera is
set in « VIDEO » mode.
DISTANCE
The « DISTANCE » dial (placed on the side of the camera) can
adjust the sensitivity of the detector. The camera is equipped
with a detector sensitive to infrared. The system detects only heat
source in motion. The greater the mass of heat, more sensitive is the
system. Range of detector is between 5 and 50 feet. Turn dial up
to increase distance. The best way to adjust the distance is to set the
camera in mode « SET/TEST » (see above). Make sure to have the
least possible objects in front of the camera during the positioning.
This prevents picture taken by the camera when oriented towards
the sun while an object moves in front of the camera (eg. a branch)
DOWNLOAD TO A COMPUTER
To transfer or view photos and videos on a PC, you must first
turn the camera « OFF » and connect the USB cable (supplied)
from the camera and to your computer. The computer will
recognize the camera and install the software itself. Click on
« My Computer » and select « Removable Disk ». Then click
« DCIM » and « 100DSCIM » to find all your photos
and videos.
Taking the SD card out of the camera and inserting it into the
computer port will achieve same results. If no SD slot is built
into the computer, a multi-card reader RD25-1 (sold separately)
must be used.

qu’une seule ligne, la caméra continue de prendre des photos
mais nous suggérons fortement de changer les piles avant
qu’elles ne soient vides. (Voir figure plus bas)
Piles alcalines
Le système requiert l’utilisation de 6 piles AA (1.5V).
L’emploi de piles alcalines est fortement recommandé. À
noter que la tension des piles AA rechargeables (1.2V) est
insuffisante pour alimenter votre caméra Spypoint. Lors de
l’installation de piles alcalines, glisser le commutateur au fond
du compartiment à « ALKALINE ». Insérer les piles dans le
sens indiqué au fond du compartiment. La polarité des piles doit
être respectée. Nous recommandons d’utiliser des piles neuves
pour assurer le rendement maximal de votre caméra.
