STEP ONE: WHAT SHOULD I PREPARE BEFORE USING?
>Preparation before Using
1. The SD card, the batteries and the external power supply are not included in the package, you
need to prepare these things beforehand.
2. Tips and Recommendation:
(1) The camera has a power supply of 4x or 8x LR6 batteries (AA), 4x or 8x NiMH batteries LR66
(AA) with low self-discharge; The camera's voltage is 6V, so 4 batteries can make the camera work,
but using eight batteries can increase the camera's working time.
(2) For optimal performance, we recommend using a full set of eight rechargeable batteries of
high-quality to maintain maximum battery life. The recommended brands of batteries are
Energizer®or Duracell®branded batteries.
(3) External power supply output: 6V/1.5A; DC-IN plug size: 3.5 mm*1.35 mm/1.3 mm.
(4) Our cameras can support class 6 or faster SD card ranging from 4GB to 32GB. The
recommended brands of SD cards are Sandisk®or Kingston®branded card. Please use the
standard card instead of the TF or Mirco card.
>Install the Batteries
1. Opening the battery cover at the right side of the camera.
2. Make sure you install the batteries with the correct polarity, following the following picture.
>Insert the SD Card
1. Turning off the read-write protection of the SD card, which located in the left of the card, so
that the camera can recognize the card.

2. Insert a high-quality SD card with the camera’s power switch in the【OFF】position.
>Tear off the Protective Films
Before you start using the product, please tear the protective films at the position of the
camera's lens and sensor.

and the photo first and then the video under the Photo+Video mode. Please set the function by
you need.
>Photo Size: The maximum value is 16MP and the default value is 5MP. Higher resolution
provides clearer images, but creates larger files that takes up more of the SD card capacity.
>Video Size: The maximum and default value is 1080P. Higher resolutions produces better quality
videos, but creates larger files that takes up more of the SD card capacity.

function by you need.
>Video Length: The maximum value is 10 Min and the default value is 10 Sec. You can choose
according to your own purpose. To conserve battery power, the video length should no longer
than 10s at night.
>Interval: The default choice of the interval is 1 Min. If choose the 30s interval, the PIR sensor
will detect the motion once in twice minute. If you want the PIR sensor to detect motion more
frequently, you can choose the shorter interval.
>Time Stamp: The default option is ON. The time stamp on video or photo, select ON can print
the time on each photo.
>Time Switch: The default option is OFF. Select ON and set the timer, the camera can work for a

>Time Lapse: Our trail camera has the ability to function as a time lapse camera. This is useful if
you want to view the entire activity in a given area such as a large field or you want to observe
cold blooded animals(e.g. snakes) or outdoor plants etc. The default setting is OFF, please set the
function by you need.
Caution:
This function has a great influence on the batteries’ life. The shorter the interval, the high
frequency to capture target, but more power consumption; The longer the interval, the lower
frequency to capture the target and less power consumption.
For example,
I would like to record the activity of my birds at daylight (from 6:00am to 6:00pm), then I can
set the timer from 6:00 to 18:00. Do not forget to press the OK button to save your settings.
Caution:
Due to the limitation of the camera's read and write functions, if you need to make
continuous shooting, you could try to reduce the resolution of the photo before setting it.

Q: What’s the difference between the Interval and the Time Lapse?
A: Interval - In this mode, the PIR sensor still works. For example, if you choose the 30s
interval, the PIR sensor will detect the motion twice in one minute. If the PIR sensor detects
an object at this time, the camera will record, but if the PIR sensor doesn't detect, the camera
will not record.
Time lapse - In this mode, the PIR sensor will no longer working because it will be triggered
by the built-in timer, and the camera would take photos in the setting interval time. For
example, if you set the time lapse to 30s, the camera will record twice in one minute whether
or not there is an object passing by.

STEP THREEE: HOW SHOULD I FIX IT?
>Mounting the Camera
There are two ways to mount the Victure trail camera: using the provided adjustable web belt, or
the tripod socket.
1. Using the Adjustable Web Belt
Push one end of the belt through the brackets on the back of the camera. Thread the end of the
strap through the buckle. Fasten on the belt securely around the tree trunk by pulling the end of
the strap firmly so there is no slack left.
2. Using the Tripod Socket
The camera is equipped with a chassis at the bottom and to enable mounting on a bracket we
provided.
Steps:
①Remove a nut from the fixed bracket (Be careful not to drop the iron ring from the bracket).
②Insert the bracket into the chassis.

③Fix the bracket to the chassis with the removed nut.
④Fix the camera to the bracket.
⑤Assembly is complete. They can be made stronger by turning the swivel screws on the bracket.
⑥Use wall anchors and screws to fix the camera on the wall(plank, etc.). Refer to:

>Positioning the Camera
The shooting range of this product is 90°fan-shaped area right in front of the camera. The best
imaging distance is 3-10 meters in front of the camera.
In order to achieve the desired detection of shooting, please place the camera following below
instructions:
1. Please attach the product to a suitable place, the installation height is close to the height of
the detected animal.
2. Slide the switch button to【TEST】position.

9
3. Make a horizontal walk (not a vertical walk) in front of the PIR sensor window of the product.
When the indicator light flashes once, it indicates that the PIR has sensed successfully. At this
moment, the area you are in is the valid detection area. Keep doing this test repeatedly, you can
obtain the effective detection area of the PIR sensor. When you doing walking test far away from
the PIR sensor window, please speed up the pace.
4. According to the default setting, the camera will automatically shut down after 5 minutes
without any operation, so please press either one of the button to wake up the system.
STEP FOUR: SWITCHING ON THE CAMERA.
After placing the camera properly, please make sure that the power switch is in the【ON】position
(do not leave it in the TEST position).
Once you switch the power switch to the【ON】position, the motion indicator light will blink for 5
seconds. This will give you time to close and lock the front cover of the camera and then walk
away.

After it stops blinking, the PIR sensor is active, and any motion that is detected by it will trigger
the capture of the photos or videos as programmed in the【MENU】.
Please note, the PIR sensor is strongly sensitive to ambient temperature. The greater the
temperature difference between the environment and your subject, the farther the possible
sensing distance.
STEP FIVE: HOW CAN I REVIEW THE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS?
