So if it’s in Preview state, you should press to enter into Playback state. 3.5 Triggering modes There are 3 triggering modes of the camera: PIR triggering，Timer triggering and PIR&Timer triggering. 3.5.
SG560K-8mHD 3 Easy Operations interval even there is no motions detected, the camera will also capture pictures and videos if motions get detected. 3.6 Power Off Switch the camera to OFF position to power off the camera. Please note that even in the OFF mode, the camera still consumes certain power at μA level. Therefore, please remove the battery if the camera will not be used for a long time.
4 Advanced Operations SG560K-8mHD 4 Advanced Operations After familiar with the basic operations of the camera, you are now ready for advanced operations，and the options and parameters of the camera are explained in more detail. 4.1 Settings Menu To view the camera settings menu, press MENU in the TEST mode (Power switch is at TEST position). The settings menu will be shown on the LCD on the camera. Setting Items Description Photo Size There are two camera modes: Photo or Video.
SG560K-8mHD Video Length PIR Sensitivity 4 Advanced Operations It extends from 1 to 60 seconds with a step of one second. This parameter defines the sensitivity of the PIR. There are three parameters: High, Normal, Low and Off. The default value is “Normal”. The higher degree indicates that the camera is more easily triggered by motion, taking more pictures or recording more videos.
4 Advanced Operations SG560K-8mHD Please note that if the PIR Sensitivity is set to Off, then the Timer Interval can’t be set to Off. Timer Switch Flash Range Time Stamp Default Set This parameter defines a certain time lapse in a day when the camera can be triggered, while in the rest of the time lapse the device is shut off. The effective value ranges from 00:00 to 23:59.
SG560K-8mHD 4 Advanced Operations PIR Sensitivity Normal High, Low PIR Interval 1 Min 0-55 Sec, 1-60min Timer Interval Off 10-55 Sec,1-59 Min,1-8Hour Timer Switch Off On( 00:00 -23:59) Flash Range 15m 8m Time Stamp On Off Default Set Save 4.3 Firmware upgrade This camera provides an upgrading function for the users. Upgrading is needed only when an improved firmware is available.
5 Mounting the camera SG560K-8mHD 5 Mounting the Camera When use the camera in outdoor environment, such as hunting or monitoring the living habits of wild animals, you need to mount the device on a certain place properly. It is recommended to mount the camera on a tree with diameter about 5.9 inches. To get the optimal picture quality, the recommended distance is 16ft from the tree to the target monitoring area and recommended height from the ground is 4.9ft~6.5ft.
SG560K-8mHD Appendix I: PIR Detection Zone Appendix I: PIR Detection Zone Fig.6 shows Bolymedia’s 4 kinds of detection range at different detection angles. This camera is extra long range with 55 degree. Figure 6: PIR Detection Zone The PIR detection angle (α) is just smaller than the field of view (FOV) angle (β). The advantage of this design is to reduce empty picture rate and capture most, if not all, motions. Figure 7: Detection angle vs.
SG560K-8mHD Appendix I: PIR Detection Zone This camera has a new design of PIR and this new PIR is patented. The Fig.8 shows the compared detection zone between normal PIR and the new patented PIR.
