Slide the mode switch to TEST to start
the test mode. In photo or video mode,
press MENU to call up the menu.
All menu options and possible setting
values for the recording mode are
listed below. The standard setting is
always highlighted in bold.
Mode
Settings: Photo, Video, Photo + Video

CAMCOLVC26N
V. 01 –20/09/2016 10 ©Velleman nv
Select whether photos or videos should be taken when motion is detected.
When in Photo + Video mode, the camera first takes a set number of photos
prior to recording a video.
Image size
Settings: 8M, 5M, 3M, 2M, 1M
Select the desired photo resolution. A higher resolution produces a
somewhat better quality but results in larger files requiring more space on
the memory card.
Video size
Settings: 720p (1080x720), WVGA (848x480), VGA (640x480) @ 30 fps
Select the desired video resolution. A higher resolution produces a
somewhat better quality but results in larger files requiring more space on
the memory card.
Videos are recorded in AVI format, which can be played back on most video
equipment.
Number
Settings: 1 photo, 2 photos, 3 photos
Select the number of photos to be taken in succession when the camera is
triggered in photo mode. Please also observe the parameter Interval (see
below).
Length of video
Settings: 10 sec, optional 1-60 sec and 3, 5 and 10 min
Specify the duration of a video when the camera is triggered automatically.
The recording period for videos is not limited in test mode.
Interval
Settings: 30 sec, optional from 5 sec to 60 min
Select the shortest period for the camera to wait before it reacts to the
successive triggering of the main sensor after an animal has first been
detected. The camera does not record any images or videos during the
selected intervals. This prevents the memory card from being filled with
unnecessary shots.
Time stamp
Settings: On/Off (only available in photo mode)
Select whether to display the date, time, temperature and moon phase on
each photo.
Timer
Settings: Off/On
Switch on the timer if the camera should only be active within a certain
time. Once activated, the start and end time can be set.
Example: If the start time is set to 18h35 and the end time set to 8h25, the
camera will be operational from 18h35 to 8h25 the following day. The

CAMCOLVC26N
V. 01 –20/09/2016 11 ©Velleman nv
camera will not be triggered and will not take any photos or videos outside
this period.
Password
Settings: Off/On
When this option is activated, the four-digit password must be entered each
time the camera is switched on in the test mode before the camera can be
used.
The camera will no longer be useable in case of a lost password. Please
contact your nearest dealer.
Serial no.
Settings: Off/On (only available in photo mode)
Activate this option to assign a serial number to the camera.
Use a combination of four digits or letters so you can identify your camera in
a multi-camera set-up.
Time lapse
Settings: Off/On
When this option is activated, the camera automatically takes photos or
videos in the selected time interval, irrespective of whether or not the PIR
sensor has detected a motion. This is useful for observing cold-blooded
animals or plants opening.
Energy saving mode
Settings: Off/On
This option comes into effect when battery power is low. When this option is
activated, the camera automatically reduces the brightness of the IR lights
in order to extend battery life.
Language
Settings: Select the desired menu language
Available languages: English, German, Danish, Polish, French, Italian,
Dutch, Spanish, Hungarian, Portuguese, Chinese.
Formatting
Settings: No/Yes
All files are deleted by formatting the memory card.
We recommend formatting the memory card if it has already been used in
other devices or if it is a new card.
Ensure that files still required have been backed up prior to formatting.
Setting the time
Settings: Set date and time
Use the / buttons to skip between values and change the selected
values by pressing the / buttons. Confirm with OK.

CAMCOLVC26N
V. 01 –20/09/2016 12 ©Velleman nv
Default settings
Settings: No/Yes
Reset the camera to the default factory settings.
Auto switch
Settings: 3 min, 5 min, 10 min, off
Determine whether the camera should be automatically switched off when
not used for some time in test mode.
Switch on the camera again by pressing a random button.

using this option. During the update, the respective status is displayed.
FW Version: Shows the firmware version installed on the camera.
Delete
Settings: Single, All
Select this option to delete files from the memory card.
Single: Delete individual files. Toggle between the files using the /
buttons.
All: Delete all files on your memory card.
7.4 Night Recording
During night recording, the IR LEDs at the front provide the light required
for taking photos.
The camera uses IR LEDs with a long wavelength to keep red light to a
minimum. The provided number of LEDs generate a high deflection angle,
thus allowing night recording at a distance of 3 to 15 m without
overexposing the object.
Reflecting objects can, however, also cause overexposure within this range.
Please not that night recording using the IR LEDs produces black and white
images.

CAMCOLVC26N
V. 01 –20/09/2016 13 ©Velleman nv
7.5 Live Mode
In live mode, photos are triggered by
movement sensors or at intervals
according to the respective setting.
To set up the live mode, switch to the
ON position. The red status LED flashes
for 5 seconds, after which the camera
operates automatically and enters the
standby mode. Recording photos or
videos starts as soon as an animal
enters the detection area of the PIR
sensor zone.
7.6 Aligning the Camera
The test mode is advantageous for determining the best possible detection
angle and range of the movement sensor. For this purpose, attach the
camera to a tree at a height of approximately 1-2 m, and align the camera
with a desired direction.
Move slowly from one side of the observed area to the other. Move parallel
to the camera and try out different angles and distances.
The red LED [L] indicates that you were detected by the PIR sensor zone.
In order to prevent incorrect signals and unnecessary photos, we
recommend not using the camera at sunny points and check that no
branches are in the active area of the sensor. Optimum alignment is in
North or South direction. The detection range of the sensor is approximately
60°.
Also, check that the camera is installed at the correct height in line with the
point to be observed. When necessary, point the camera down for optimum
alignment.
Note
This camera corresponds to protection class IP54. It is protected against
dust and spray, and can thus be used in any weather condition.

6. De camera voorbereiden
6.1 De camera openen en sluiten
Bedieningstoetsen, aansluitingen en batterijen bevinden zich binnenin de
camera.
Om de camera te openen, maak de twee sluitbeugels aan de zijkant los (zie
afb.)1. Om de camera opnieuw te sluiten, maak het metalen beugeltje van
de sluitbeugel in de houder en druk vervolgens het plastic lipje omhoog (zie
afb.).2.
Tussen de twee sluitbeugels bevindt zich een oogje voor een hangslot om de
camera veilig af te sluiten.
6.2 De batterijen plaatsen
Open de camera (zie hierboven). Open het klepje van het batterijvak door
de vergrendeling aan de bovenkant naar omhoog te trekken en het klepje
op te wippen.
Plaats 8 volledig opgeladen batterijen volgens de aangegeven polariteit.
Sluit het batterijvak opnieuw met het klepje.
Opmerking
Bij te lage batterijspanning weerklinkt een alarmsignaal.
WAARSCHUWING
U mag batterijen nooit doorboren of in het vuur
gooien (explosiegevaar). Herlaad geen

V. 01 –20/09/2016 19 ©Velleman nv
6.3 Geheugenkaart plaatsen
Voordat u de camera inschakelt, plaats
een SD-/SDHC-geheugenkaart in de
kaartsleuf om foto's en video's op te
slaan.
Schakel de camera uit en open deze
zoals beschreven hierboven.
Zorg ervoor dat de schrijfbeveiliging
aan de zijkant van de geheugenkaart
niet vergrendeld is. Plaats de
geheugenkaart (zie afb.). Schuif de
geheugenkaart in de sleuf tot deze
vastklikt.
Om de kaart te verwijderen, druk
nogmaals tot deze gedeeltelijk wordt
uitgeworpen.
6.4 Externe voeding
De camera kan ook via een externe netadapter van stroom worden
voorzien. Gebruik een 6 V-netadapter (min. 1.5 A).
Opmerking
Oplaadbare batterijen in de camera kunnen niet worden opgeladen via een
