6. Preparing the camera 6.1. Opening and closing the camera Operating buttons, connections and batteries are located inside the wildlife and surveillance camera. Fig. 1. Fig. 2. To open the camera undo the two lateral locking brackets as shown in Fig. 1. To lock the camera again, engage metal hoops of locking brackets into mount and press down plastic tab of bracket (Fig.2). A fixing for a padlock is provided between the two locking brackets, allowing the camera to be securely locked. 6.2.
When using 4 batteries, these can either all be inserted in the top or in the bottom part of the compartment. Other combinations are not possible. Close the battery compartment again with the protective cover. • • Note: Instead of type LR6 (AA) batteries, rechargeable batteries with the same specification (with 2000 mAh or higher) may be used. We recommend NiMh batteries with low self discharge (not supplied). An alarm is sounded if battery charge is too low. 6.3.
Prior to inserting the memory card ensure that the lateral write-protection on the memory card has not been activated (see figure). If the camera displays ”Card protected“, remove the memory card and change the position of the memory protection. Write Protection unlocked Write Protection locked Insert the memory card as shown in the adjacent illustration. Push the memory card into compartment until it clicks into place. To remove the memory card push card in again until it is partly ejected.
6.5. Assembly with strap Use the securing strap supplied to attach the wildlife camera to a tree or another object. The illustrations below demonstrate how to fasten the securing strap. Position the wildlife camera as desired and pull the loose end of the securing strap tight until the camera is firmly secured. To release the securing strap again, pull at the tab of the securing strap. 6.6. Using the wall mount Using the supplied wall mount, the camera can be securely attached to walls or ceilings.
• Note: Prior to drilling check that no supply pipes are concealed in the wall! First mark the holes to be drilled (A), by holding the base of the wall fixing against the desired place of installation. When installing on stone or concrete surfaces use a 6 mm masonry drill. After drilling the holes insert the supplied wall plugs into the holes so that they are flush with the surface. Next secure the stand using screws from the assembly kit.
7. Using the camera Prior to setting up the camera for surveillance, it must be set up for the respective purpose. For this purpose, the so-called test mode is available. In addition to changing settings, photos and videos can be taken and existing photos can be viewed in this mode. 7.1. Mode switch Open the camera as described in section 6.1. The Mode switch is located at the bottom edge on the left inside. 3 operating modes can be selected: OFF: The camera is completely switched off in the OFF mode.
Functions of operating buttons in recording mode Below, the operating buttons are described in the recording mode with non activated menu. MENU: Open the Settings menu using the MENU button. REPLAY: Press this button to start the replay mode. : Change to the manual recording mode for video recordings : Change to the manual recording mode for taking photos. SHOT: Manually take a video or photo depending on the set recording mode. Video recordings are also ended by pressing the SHOT button.
OK: Open selected options or accept selected settings. Confirm each change to a setting by pressing OK. If the change is not confirmed by pressing the OK button, the new settings are lost when leaving the menu. SHOT, REPLAY: No function (in Replay mode). 7.3. Settings Prior to using the MAGINON WK 3 HD, change the settings as required. Slide the mode switch of the wildlife camera to the TEST position to start the test mode. In the Photo or Video mode press the MENU button to call up the menu.
• Length of video: 10 sec(onds), optional 1 - 60 seconds and 3, 5 and 10 minutes Specify the duration of a video recording when the camera is triggered automatically. The recording period for videos is not limited in the Test mode. • Interval: 1 min(ute), optional from 0 seconds to 60 minutes Select the shortest period for the camera to wait before it reacts to the successive triggering of the main sensor after an animal has first been detected..
• Time lapse: Off/On When “On” has been selected, the camera automatically takes photos or videos in the selected time interval, irrespective of whether or not the PIR sensor has detected a motion or not. This is useful for observing cold blooded animals e.g. snakes or plants opening up, etc. As soon as the “On” setting has been confirmed by pressing the OK button, you can enter the interval time after which photos and videos are to be taken.
• Auto switch-off: 3 min/5 min/10 min/Off With this function you can determine whether the camera should be automatically switched off when not used for some time in the test mode. Set the time after which the camera should be switched off in the test mode or deactivate automatic switch-off by selecting “Off“. The camera can be switched on again by pressing any operating button. • Recording volume: Low/Normal/High Select with which volume audio recordings are to be recorded.
7.4. Night recording During night recording the infrared LEDs (IR LEDs) at the front of the wildlife camera provide the light required for taking photos. MAGINON WK 3 HD uses IR LEDs with a long wavelength, to keep red light to a minimum. The provided number of IR LEDs generates a high deflection angle thus allowing night recording at a distance of 3 m to 20 m, without overexposing the object. Reflecting objects can, however, also cause overexposure within this range (e.g. road signs).
Advantages of PIR sensors (Passive Infrared Sensors) In order to save on battery power, an infrared camera is normally in Standby mode in which only the main sensor is active. As soon as the central sensor zone detects wild animals, the camera is switched on and starts taking photos. The time between the activation and the start of shooting is referred to as triggering time.
Blue LED Red LED In this way you can determine the best position for aligning the camera. The LED only lights up in the Test mode as soon as one of the sensors has detected movement. The LEDs do not light up when in Live mode. In order to prevent incorrect signals and unnecessary photos, we recommend not using the camera at sunny points and check that no branches are in the active area of the sensor. Optimum alignment is in North or South direction. The detection range of the sensors is approx.
