There are some important notes about both batteries and SD card you should be aware of, so please take the time to read the following directions and cautions: 1.
2. INSERTING THE SD CARD Note: Insert the SD card (with the camera's power switch in the OFF position) before beginning to operate the camera. Don't insert or remove the SD card when the power switch is in the ON position. The camera uses a standard SD memory card to save photos (in .jpg format) and/or videos (in .avi format). SD cards up to a maximum 32GB capacity are supported. Inserting the SD Cards $ %* + indicated by the icon).
Using the Camera Note: We recommend using a good quality name brand SD card with C6 (or higher) speed. Insert the SD card (with the camera's power switch in the OFF position) before beginning to operate the camera. Don't insert or remove the SD card when the power switch is in the ON position. The camera uses a standard SD memory card to save photos (in .jpg format) and/or videos (in .avi format). SD cards up to a maximum 32GB capacity are supported.
Note: When the power switch is set to ON position, the camera requires 30-60 seconds for PIR Sensor to initialize. 3. SETUP MODE In the SETUP mode, you can check and change the settings of the camera with the help of its built-in LCD. These settings, found in the menu by pressing the Menu key, let you change the photo or video resolution, switch the time imprint on, etc.
Notes: If the current file or all files are set Write protect, the file(s) cannot be deleted. If you want to delete the file(s), unlock the file(s) or format the SD card. After deleting a picture or a video file, the deleted files can't be restored! It is also possible to delete all files from the card by using the Format parameter. Advanced Settings The trail camera comes with preset manufacturer settings. You can change the settings to meet your requirements.
Video Resolution (affects video clips only) 1920×1080 1280×720 720×480 640×480 Select video resolution (pixels per frame). Higher resolution produces better quality videos, but creates larger files that take more of the SD card capacity. Video Length (affects video clips only) AVI 5s, optional from 3S to 10M Videos are in AVI format that can be played back on most video players. Long the recording, larger the file size.
Time Lapse On Off If set On, the camera will automatically take photos/videos according to the set interval, regardless of whether the PIR sensor has detected any game. This is helpful when observing cold-blooded animals like snakes, or the process of flowering, etc.
Password Protection On Off Set up a password to protect your camera from unauthorized users. If you forget the password, switch the camera to the OFF mode, press the Menu and Play keys at the same time, and then switch the operating mode from OFF to SETUP. The camera is unlocked. Then you can set the Password Protection on and set a new password in "MENU"-"Password Protection". Beep Sound On Off If set On, the camera will beep when you press any key of the camera in the SETUP mode.
Mounting and Positioning the Camera 1. MOUNTING After you've set up the camera's parameters to your personal preferences, you're ready to take it outside and slide the power switch to "ON". When setting up the camera for scouting game or other outdoor applications, you must be sure to mount it in place correctly and securely. We recommend mounting the camera on a sturdy tree with a diameter of about 6 in. (15cm). To get the optimal picture quality, the tree should be about 16-17 ft.
2. SENSING ANGLE AND DISTANCE TEST To test whether the camera can effectively monitor the area you choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing angle and monitoring the distance of the camera. To perform the test: Switch the camera to the SETUP mode. Make movements in front of the camera at several positions within the area where you expect the game or subjects to be. Try different distances and angles from the camera.
Review Photos or Videos The camera stores photos and videos in the folder \DCIM\100MEDIA in the SD card. Photos are saved with file names like DSCF0001.JPG and videos like DSCF0001.AVI. The AVI video files can be played back on most popular media players, such as Windows Media Player, QuickTime, VLC, etc. There are several different ways this can be done. You can directly review the photos or videos on the camera screen.
