SG565F-8mHD 4 Advanced Operations 4 Advanced Operations From the basic operations of the camera in the previous chapter, we know that the camera has three basic operation modes: 1. OFF mode: power switch is at OFF position. 2. ON mode: power switch is at ON position. 3. TEST mode: power switch is at ON position and the control needs to be connected. In the above three modes, OFF mode is the specified safe mode when replacing the SD card or batteries and transporting the camera. 4.
SG565F-8mHD 4 Advanced Operations mode. Setting menu: press RIGHT to select Photo or Video mode, then press OK to save your setting. By using white flash, the camera can take color images day and night, but video can just work under sufficient daylight. If you set video mode, it will turn to camera mode automatically at night. Set camera date and time. The date format is month/day/year, the time format Set Clock is hour: minute: second. The valid value for year is between 2009 and 2050.
SG565F-8mHD 4 Advanced Operations Choose sensitivity of PIR. This parameter defines the sensitivity of the PIR. There are three values: High, Normal, and Low. The default value is “Normal.” The higher, the easier the motion sensor would be triggered and taking more pictures or recording more videos.

SG565F-8mHD 4 Advanced Operations 4.2 File Numbering Images and videos are saved in the pre-named folder. File numbering continues by adding one to the last number for each new image or video. The saving names are like IMAG0001.JPG or IMAG0001.AVI. Through the suffix you can distinguish whether the file is an image (with suffix .jpg) or a video (with suffix .avi). 4.3 Firmware Upgrade This camera is equipped with an automatic upgrade function for you.
SG565F-8mHD 5 Mounting the Camera 5 Mounting the Camera When you want to use the ON mode of the camera in the outdoors, such as hunting and monitoring the living habits of wild animals, you must mount the device on a certain place properly. It is recommended to mount the camera on a tree whose diameter is about 15 cm. To get the optimal picture quality, the tree can be 5 meters away from the place to be monitored, and at a height of 1.5~2 meters.
SG565F-8mHD Appendix Ⅰ: PIR Detection Zone Appendix I: PIR Detection Zone Fig. 7 shows Bolymedia’s 4 kinds of detection range at different detection angles. This camera is extra long range with 55 degree. Fig.7 : PIR detection range 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.
SG565F-8mHD Appendix Ⅰ: PIR Detection Zone Fig. 8 Detection angle vs FOV angle This camera has a new design of PIR which is patented. The new patented PIR’s detection range can reach to 85 ft. Fig. 8 shows the compared detection zone between normal PIR and the new patented PIR. Fig.
