OFF Mode
The OFF mode is the safe mode when any action must be taken. Please
be sure the camera’s power is switched OFF before you replacing the
battery, removing or inserting SD card, or transporting the device. And
of course, when you are storing or not using the camera, you will switch
it OFF. Please note that even in OFF mode the AUTOPILOT camera
still consumes power at a very low level. Therefore, it’s a good idea to

take the batteries out the battery compartment if the camera will not be
used for a long time
ON Mode
Please be sure the batteries were loaded and SD card was inserted,
and placed the camera to the right induction height or area ,then, move
the mode switch to ON mode. The notion indicator LED will blink red for
about 10 seconds. This interval allows time for you to close the Cam’s
front cover, lock it ,and leave the monitored area. Please note that you
can’t manually setup parameters once in ON mode. The camera will
take pictures or videos automatically.(According to its current slide
switch settings) when it is triggered by the PIR sensor’s detection of
activity in the area it covers. You can either move the power switch
directly move from OFF to ON mode, or stop at the setup position first to
change one or more settings, then move the switch to ON after you have
finished doing so.
AIM Mode
Move the Power switch to the AIM position. It means that the device is
going into setup mode. You can check and change the settings of the

Note: Please be sure to backup and save all files you want to keep first,
as formatting will clear the card completely of all first-they will then be
difficult or impossible to recover form the card .
Mounting
After the setting the camera’s time/date and other options to your
preference, you’re ready to take it outside and begin capturing images
of animals in the area you want to monitor. Please be sure to mount it in
place correctly and securely. To get the optimal picture quality, the tree
should be about 10-30ft. away from the place to be monitored, with the
camera placed at a height of 3.6-4.5 ft.
Using the adjustable web belt: Push one end of the belt through the two
brackets on the back of the camera .Thread the end of the strap through
the buckle. Fasten the belt securely around the tree trunk by pulling the
end of the strap firmly so there is no slack left (Fig17).

FAQ
Camera won’t power up
1. Make sure that you have installed all batteries in the battery
compartment, filling all battery spaces with no “gaps”.
2. We recommend using a full set of 4 Energizer® Lithium AA batteries.
3. Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly, observing proper
polarity.
4. Do not move the switch directly from “ON” to “AIM”-always move the
switch all the way down to “OFF” first, then back up to “AIM’.
5. Please be sure to switch the power “OFF” and remove the batteries if
necessary. Trying to reopen the camera after 1 min.

Camera stops taking images or won’t take
images
1. Please make sure that the SD card is not full. If the card is full (display
indicates ”FULL” ,the camera will stop talking images.)
2. Make sure that the power/mode switch is in the ON position and not
set to OFF or AIM.
3. Make sure that you are using a good quality SD card in your camera.
We recommends SanDisk® SD cards up to 32GB.
4. If the SD card has its write protect switch in the lock position, the
camera will not take images.
5. Formatting the SD card before using it for the first time is
recommended. It can be completed using the “format” function. Make
sure you have backed up (saved to your computer) any files you want
to keep on a previously used card, as formatting erases all files.
6. Please make sure that the battery have the enough power to support
to work.
Battery life is shorter than expected
1. Check to make sure you have used new alkaline or lithium batteries.
We recommends using a full set of 4 Energize® Lithium AA batteries

to obtain maximum battery life.
2. These are several variables that will determine the battery life
including type of batteries, temperature outside, recording settings,
frequency of camera activity, etc. Colder temperatures, night photos
and photo frequency (low camera delay) will result in shorter battery
life. Note: capturing video clips and time lapse uses more power and
will result in shorter battery life than capture motion detected photos.
1S Interval mode will use more power as more photos and videos will
be taken. We recommends setting the Interval time for more longer
time to maximize battery life.
3. Make sure that you are using a good quality SD card in your camera.
We recommends SanDisk® SD cards up to 32GB. Our experience
indicates that poor quality SD cards can sometimes reduce your
camera battery life.
Camera PIR won’t work
1. Check the Interval time you settings. It won’t take images for a long
time if you setting the Interval time is too longer .You can figure out
that by restore the camera to factory settings.
2. Check if something stuff on the PIR sensor, please be sure the PIR
sensor is clean.

3. Higher temperature will make the PIR detection distance become
shorter. So that sometimes the animal will not be monitored even it is
through by the PIR sensor’s detection of activity in the area it covers.
Please be sure to mount the camera in place correctly and securely.
The height is need to keep the same between the animal and camera.
Camera takes continuous images of no subject
A camera has what is know as a “false trigger” if the PIR sensor thinks
that there is motion and heat in front of the camera lens when there is
no subject in the images. These “false triggers” are the result of placing
the camera in an environment where there is motion associated with
tree branches creating motion in front of the camera or an area where
there is high heat in the foreground and any motion from wind cloud set
off the camera. Setting a camera up over water is also a potential cause
for this issue. To remedy this situation.
1. Try moving the camera to an area that does not have any of these
issues or remove potential obstacles near the lens if possible.
2. If the camera continuous to take images when there is no subject in
them, test the camera by placing it in an inside environment and
aiming at a location where there is no motion.
3. If the camera continuous to show issues, then there is probably an

electronic component issue. If this the case, please contact service
team.
Photo and video quality problems
1. The image is blurred or out of focus
Check if something stuff on the lens, please be sure the lens is clean.
2. Daytime photos or videos appear too bright/dark
Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other light
sources during the day.
3. Night photos or video appear too bright
You will get the best results when the subject is within the ideal flash
range, no closer than 3m from the camera. Subjects may appear too
light at closer distances.
