Normally, the Motion Activated Camera is operating in the Time Lapse mode. It features an extended-time and wide angle recording area. The Playback Rate (the lm frequency) is custom and based on your setting. (E.g. 1 minute captures 1 photo.)

Hybrid Motion Mode

When any movement is detected in the Detecting Zone (Detect angle = 100°/ Detect distance = 6 M), the Motion Activated Camera will shift to the Motion Mode, and captures 2-3 photos per second. At this range it will record the target in greater detail.
