2.3 How to Set up the Camera
1. Insert the batteries
Open the camera’s housing and insert the
batteries with the polarities in the direction
as marked in the battery compartment.
Note: 8 Alkaline or Ni-MH AA batteries are
recommended. For optimal performance,
set the corresponding type of batteries you
are using in the “Battery Type” section of
the camera menu.

- 11 -
2. Insert the SD card
Note: 4-32 GB SD cards are compatible.
Please insert it in the direction shown below.

- 12 -
2.3.1 Points of Attention
1. Insert the SD memory card correctly.
2. Please use high-quality AA batteries in
order to prevent battery corrosion and/or
leakage.
3. If using a power adapter, ensure that it is
of the correct type (12V/2A).
4. Do not invert the electrodes when putting
in batteries.
5. Do not interrupt the power supply during
system upgrades.
6. Do not remove the batteries or the power
adapter when the camera is ON mode.

- 13 -
2.4 How to Use the Camera
1. Power on the camera
Move the Power Switch to ON; the camera’s
motion detection sensor will now be
operational. (Note: the screen will not light
up in ON Mode). The camera can now be
mounted and will operate as per the default
settings.
2. Configure camera settings
If you do not wish to use the default settings,
move the Power Switch to SETUP. The
screen will light up. Press the MENU button
and you will enter the camera’s menu, where
you can view and change the settings. Press
the navigation buttons to move through the
settings and the OK button to confirm
settings.

- 14 -
When you have made the desired settings’
changes and wish to begin using the
camera, move the Power Switch to ON.
3. Details of Use
3.1 Power Supply
A. Batteries
The camera runs on 8 AA batteries (9-12V
power supply is required to ensure proper
performance of all functions); alkaline and
high-quality NiMH rechargeable batteries are
both compatible, though we recommend
using alkaline batteries for best performance.
For improved performance also select the
battery type you are using in the menu option
“Battery Type”.
You can also use lithium batteries in the device.
However, since there is no international

- 15 -
standard of voltage for lithium batteries, the
power bar may not accurately indicate the
amount of battery power left.
The batteries should be inserted with the
electrodes in the right direction, as marked in
the battery compartment. Placing batteries in
the wrong direction may cause the device to
malfunction. Batteries should be
replaced/recharged when the power icon on
the camera’s screen or photo stamp is
empty/very low.
Note: do not mix battery types/brands, or
old and new batteries. Doing so violates the
warranty policy and may cause permanent
damage to the device.

- 16 -
3.1.1 Battery life
Please refer to the table below to see the
camera’s battery life using 8 AA alkaline
batteries.
Note: due to varying conditions of use, and
different brands/quality of batteries being
used, the figures provided are
approximations only and you may achieve
longer or shorter battery life according to
your own method of usage.
Note: for NiMH battery life double the use
time.

B. Power Adapter
The applicable power adapter is 12V/2A
with 4.0mm*1.7mm male plug. We
recommend this option if you are using
your trail camera for home surveillance
purposes.
C. Solar Panel
This camera is designed to work with most
standard 12V/2A built-in lithium battery
solar panels.
Note: solar panels charge at a relatively
low voltage so cannot be used to recharge
NiMH batteries.

3.2 SD Card
A memory card must be inserted into the
camera before it can be operated. If the
camera is in ON mode and no memory card
has been inserted, the screen will display
"No card".
The SD slot of the camera has a 32GB
memory capacity. Before inserting or
removing the memory card, the camera must
be in OFF Mode. Failing to do so may cause
loss of or damage to the photos/videos
already recorded on the memory card. When
the SD card is full, the viewing screen will
show "Memory Full".
The following data shows an approximate
quantity of photos that can be recorded by
the camera depending on the memory
card’s capacity.
