You can choose from 1 to 6 Photos. Video Size Choose the video size: 1280x720 or 640x480. Video Length It extends from 10 to 180 seconds with a step of 10s.
SG968D/S-10M 4 Advanced Operations then the Time Lapse can’t be set to Off. This parameter defines the sensitivity of the PIR. There are four parameters: High, Normal, Low and Off. The default value is “Normal”. The higher degree indicates that the camera is more PIR Trigger easily triggered by motion, taking more pictures or recording more videos.

It is recommended to mount the camera on a tree with diameter about 5.9 inches (15cm). To get the optimal picture quality, the recommended distance is 5m from the tree to the target monitoring area and recommended height from the ground is 4.9ft~6.5ft (1.5m~2m).
SG968D/S-10M Appendix Ⅰ：PIR Detection Zone Appendix I: PIR Detection Zone Fig. 8 shows Bolymedia’s 4 kinds of detection range at different detection angles. This camera is super long range. Fig. 8: 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. Fig.9: Detection angle vs.
SG968D/S-10M Appendix Ⅰ：PIR Detection Zone This camera has a new, patented design of PIR. The new patented PIR’s detection range can reach to 100ft (in good environments). Fig. 10 shows the comparison of the detection zones between normal PIR and the new patented PIR. Fig.
