ABOUT YOUR SOLAR SECURITY VIDEO CAMERA AND FLOODLIGHT

This video camera floodlight requires no electrical wiring and is ideal for recording video at entrance areas,

porches, driveways, carports, garages, and warehouses. It can even be used as a game camera. The

video camera floodlight has a built-in motion sensor which turns on the camera automatically when

movement of a heat source (such as people, animals, or cars) is detected in the area. In sufficient darkness,

the 16 Surface Mount LEDs, with an estimated life of 30,000 hours, also activate and provide over 878

lumens of light for you to see and for the camera to record. The camera remains on while motion is detected.

The camera saves the recorded videos to the (included) 16GB micro-SD card which can hold up to 4 hours of

video. When the micro-SD card is full, the oldest files are overwritten. To access the videos, the camera module

must be disconnected from the light and plugged into a computer's USB port.

Model #: 44642-CAM-BK

The videos are viewable on Windows compatible or Apple computers. However, the date and time on the camera

can only be synced to the date and time on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 computers.

Before using the Solar Security Video Camera and Floodlight, you must:

1. Connect the solar panel to the video camera floodlight, make sure the switch is in the OFF position, and set the

solar panel outside in the sun for three days to charge the batteries fully.

2. If using a Windows computer, plug the camera module into a USB port on your computer or laptop and run the

Sync program (See "Setting the Date and Time On the Camera Module" on page 4).

STOP! READ FIRST!

To use the Solar Security Video Camera and Floodlight, you need a computer.

A time control can be adjusted to allow the camera to stay on for 10 - 60 seconds after the motion sensor stops

detecting motion. At night, the time control also controls the floodlight. The light sensitivity can be adjusted to

allow the floodlight to start activating at varying darkness levels.

To use the Solar Security Video Camera and Floodlight, you need a computer. The videos are viewable on Windows compatible or Apple computers. However, the date and time on the camera can only be synced to the date and time on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 computers.

An included 3.7V 4.4Ah Lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack will need to be replaced when its charging ability decreases. When the batteries are fully charged, the floodlight portion will activate for up to 100 oneminute cycles per night. Low temperatures (14°F/-10°C) can result in limited functionality in the lithium-ion battery pack which may cause irregular activity in the video camera floodlight. Normal operation will return when the temperature rises.

44642-CAM-BK During the day, the camera will record everything in its field of view. At night, the darkness makes it difficult to see objects more than 15 feet away even if the floodlight has activated. Because of this, if the motion sensor is triggered by a moving object more than 15 feet away, the moving object may not appear on the video. HOW TO INSTALL YOUR SOLAR SECURITY VIDEO CAMERA AND FLOODLIGHT: NOTE: Install your video camera floodlight in a location where you can access the camera module.

HOW TO TEST THE COVERAGE AREA This section covers the steps you need to take to ensure your camera module will capture the desired area. This section is important to review anytime you are installing the video camera floodlight in a new location. 1. Remove the camera module as shown in "How To Disconnect the Camera Module/Access the Dials" on page 3. 2. The TIME dial is already set to the minimum (-) position and the LUX dial to the “light” () position.

44642-CAM-BK 3. Click “Open folder to view files” on the “Sync Camera Clock” Autoplay box. The camera does not automatically sync when you plug the camera into a USB port. You must run the program to sync the camera. 4. Click the program called, “Sync Camera Clock”. 5. A pop-up will confirm the camera is now synced to the PC clock. NOTE: You will need to sync the camera module again when seasonal time changes occur. The camera module will not automatically adjust the time.

5. The next set of folders you see are named by the date the videos were recorded. The folders holding the videos for each day will be named with the following format: YYYYMMDD (Year, Month, Day) For example, all videos recorded on March 26th, 2015 will be in a folder labelled 20150326. Find the day you want to view and double-click the folder. 6. Within each folder, you will see all the video files recorded that day.

44642-CAM-BK ADJUSTING THE LUX AND TIME DIALS The video camera floodlight is factory set to record 10 seconds after motion stops. This is the recommended setting to conserve video storage space on the micro-SD card. If you want to increase the recording time and how long the floodlight stays on at night, move the switch on the main body of the floodlight to the AUTO position and follow the directions below.

4. Lightly press the micro-SD card into the camera module until you hear a slight click. Then remove your finger and the micro-SD card should slowly spring back out of the module. 5. Grab the back end of the micro-SD card with your fingertips and remove it from the camera module. To replace the micro-SD card, push it back into the slot on the back of the camera module. Be sure it is in the correct orientation! This can be seen in the image below. 6.

Do not force the plug into place as this may damage the unit. If it does not fit, rotate the plug until it matches with the receiving end on the circuit board. 7. Replace the bracket to hold the battery pack in place by using the two (2) screws removed in step 4, taking care not to damage any cables. 8.
