POWER
The battery level is shown in the «Report» mode.
(4/4 = full, 1/4= low) When the battery level shows 2/4,
the camera will continue to take pictures but we strongly
recommend changing the batteries before they are empty.
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 “ALK” (i.e. alkaline). Insert the batteries in
the battery case as indicated and insert it inside the camera
(see figure below). Exact polarity must be followed. We also
recommend the use of new batteries to ensure maximum
performance of your camera (see figure below)

Lithium battery pack with charger
The camera SPYPOINT TINY 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
than an alkaline battery. During the installation of lithium
battery, place the switch inside the battery case to “ALK”
(i.e. alkaline). Insert the battery in the case as indicated and
insert it inside the camera (see figure below)
12 volts Power
The camera SPYPOINT TINY 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. During the installation of 12 volt battery, place
the switch inside the battery case to “ALK” (i.e. alkaline).
If combined with a lithium battery pack, slide the switch
to “RECH” (i.e. rechargeable). 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 the switch inside the
battery case to “RECH” (i.e. rechargeable) to activate the
charging system of the solar panel.
Electricity
The electrical power is recommended for security purposes.
It provides an instant trigger time when a movement is
detected. We recommend to remove the alkaline batteries
when this power is used. Although lithium battery can remain
safely inside the camera and it is ideal in case of a blackout. A
12 volts DC adapter that can provide a minimum of 800 mA
will be needed (Refer to the section “OPTIONS”)
Note: when using the electricity power, the “Multi-shot”
mode and the “Delay” between photos are disabled as the
camera starts instantly every time it detects motion. Also, the
imprinting temperature on each picture is disabled.

MEMORY CARD
Using a memory card (sold separately, refer to the section
“OPTIONS”) is required to operate the camera SPYPOINT
TINY. When the camera is turned on, the screen displays
“Insert memory card” in “Photo” or “Video” mode if no
memory card is used, the camera also beeps. The SD slot of
the camera has a 32 GB memory 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 viewing screen indicates “Disk full” when “Photo”,
“Video” or“Test”mode are selected.Thefollowingdatashows
an approximate quantity of photos or video length that can be
taken by the camera depending on the memory card capacity.

TEST
To set the camera or the distance. When “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 have been recorded. If the system does not detect
the movement, increase the distance detection using the
“Settings” menu (the option “Sensitivity” allows the user
to set the sensitivity to “High”, “Medium” or “Low”). You
can also realign the camera differently. Once you understand
how the device responds to detections, you can better adjust
the direction or the height of the camera (Recommended
installation height: less than 5 feet).
SETTINGS
To define the options of the camera. To configure the
system in English, hold the button “” until “Language” is
highlighted. Press “OK”, select “English” and confirm your
choice with “OK”. The system will change all the menus in
English by itself.
Time Start /
Time Stop:
Allow the user to set the period of operation
of the camera. The start and stop time are
the hours during the camera is in action and
records pictures or videos. Example: if the
user selects a start time “7:00 am” and a stop
time “11:00 am”, the camera will only detect
for that period of time and will stay inactive
for the remaining hours. Press “OK” and use
“”or “”to adjustthe hour. Press again“OK”
to set the minutes. When the time is properly
set, press once more “OK” to go back to
other settings.
For an activation of 24 hours, the same start
and stop time must be entered (example:
00:00 as start time and 00:00 as stop time.
These hours are the basic configuration of
your camera)
Note: The hours can be recorded over a
12 or 24 hours period. Refer to “Setting”/
“Time format” (00:00 means midnight)
Delay: Select the time interval between two photos
or videos.
Multi-shot: Take up to 6 consecutive shots at each
detection,witha10seconddelaybetweeneach
photo. This option allows up to 6 pictures
from different angles when the camera is in
“Photo” mode.
Video length: Allow the user to select the recording duration
when the camera is set in “Video” mode.
Language: Select a language for the camera’s menu.

Sensitivity: Allow the user to choose between three
different levels of sensitivity: “High”,
“Medium” or “Low”. The camera will only
detect sources of heat in movement. 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 (e.g. a branch)
Date: Set the date as Month / Day / Year
Time format: Allow the user to choose between a 12 or
24 hours period time displays on the photos
(eg. 6:00 pm or 18:00)

the electricity power.
Infrared: Allow the user to choose how many LEDs
will be turned on.
On: Every LEDs work when taking photos
or videos at night.
One LED: Only a single LED works (see
figure). This option can be useful when using
an IR-Booster/Black flash IR-Booster (sold

Side Sensors: When the side sensors are activated, a total of
7 zones is covered. The central sensor covers
5 zones. The side detectors are mainly used
to prepare the camera so when your target
passes through the central sensor, the system
is already pre triggered, increasing greatly
the reaction time of your camera.
Note: The “Time Lapse” mode only applies
in “PHOTO” mode, not in “VIDEO” mode.
When “Time Lapse” mode is selected, the
“Delay” mode and the “Multi-shot” mode
are disabled.
REPORT
The report mode keeps a record of the last period of use of
the camera. The beginning date corresponds with the moment
the camera is set to either “Photo” or “Video” mode. Thus,
the report is reset when changing modes.

Time Lapse: Allow the user to set the frequency at which time
the camera takes a picture, without detection.
For example, if the option “5 minutes” is
selected in the “Time Lapse” mode, the camera
takes a picture every 5 minutes during that
period of operation (time start and time stop)
even if there is no detection.
This option allows the user to obtain
pictures of game outside the detection range
of the camera.
