longer operation time.
Batteries should be inserted with correct electrode position
as marked on the housing. Upside down batteries
electrodes may cause device malfunction. Also, we strongly
recommend changing the batteries when power icon on
camera screen or photo stamp is empty.
Note: Don’t mix batteries types! Different batteries to be
used in camera may cause permanent damage which also
violates warranty policy!
Due to different settings, objects activities within camera
detection zone, different brands and quality of batteries,
and using environment, etc; we’re not able to list out exact
number of photos and videos that camera can achieve. So
given table below only shows approximate number of
photos or videos camera can take with 12AA alkaline
batteries; better performance can be given by 12 AA
rechargeable NiMH batteries.
