Basic safety guidelines

To ensure safe operation of the device, follow the safety guidelines set out below:

■ Check the device for visible external damage before use. Do not

operate a device that has been damaged or dropped.

■ If the cables or connections are damaged, have them replaced

by an authorised specialist or the Customer Service department.

■ People who, due to their physical, intellectual or motor abilities,

are incapable of operating the device safely may only use the device under the supervision or direction of a responsible person.

WK 5 A1

■

Do not attach the device to free-standing or extremely tall trees, since these are particularly susceptible to lightning strikes. If the tree that the camera is attached to is struck by lightning, the device may be destroyed.

■ Allow children to use the device only with supervision. Children

are not always able to correctly recognise potential dangers.

■ All repairs must be carried out by authorised specialist companies

or by the Customer Service department. Failure to make proper repairs may put the user at risk. It will also invalidate any warranty claims. This device may not be used by children.

■ Repairs to the device during the warranty period may only be

carried out by a customer service department authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise no warranty claims can be considered for subsequent damage.

■ Defective components must always be replaced with original

replacement parts. Compliance with the safety requirements can only be guaranteed by using these replacement parts.

■ Do not place any objects on the device.

■ Do not operate or place the device close to open ﬂames

(e.g. candles).

■ If you notice any unusual noises, smoke or similar unusual situa-

tions, remove the batteries and disconnect any attached mains adapter from the power supply and contact Customer Service (see Chapter "Service").

■

DANGER! Packaging material may not be used as a toy.

Risk of suﬀocation!

WK 5 A1

Risk of injury if batteries are improperly handled

■ Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Children might put

batteries into their mouth and swallow them. If a battery has been swallowed, seek medical assistance IMMEDIATELY.

■ Do not throw batteries into a ﬁre. Never subject batteries to high

temperatures.

■ Risk of explosion! Do not charge batteries unless they are explicitly

labelled as "rechargeable".

■ Do not open the batteries or short-circuit them.

■ Do not mix diﬀerent types of batteries. Due to increased risk

of leakage, empty batteries should be removed. The batteries should also be removed from the device if it is not being used for long periods.

■ Battery acid leaking from a battery can cause skin irritation. In

the event of contact with the skin, rinse with plenty of water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water, do not rub and consult a doctor immediately.

■ The chapter titled "Power Supply" describes how to correctly

insert and remove batteries.

Mishandling memory cards can lead to a

risk of injury

■ Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the

memory card. Seek medical help immediately if the memory card is accidentally swallowed.

WK 5 A1

Possible infringements of the rights of third parties

Please note the following when using the game camera:

Every person owns the rights to their own image. According to copyright law, pictures of people may only be published without their permission if the aﬀected person appears merely as an incidental feature in a landscape or other location. The question as to whether a person is merely an incidental feature must be ascertained on a case by case basis. To avoid any legal uncertainty, a warning notice about the game camera should be provided in all cases in which recordings that could feature images of potentially identiﬁable persons are possible (see Chapter "Duty of notiﬁcation").

Protection of privacy

The privacy of others may not be infringed by any recorded images. Do not set up the camera so it points to the garden or an entrance of a neighbouring residence, even if these locations are easily visible from your own residence or to the general public. This does not a constitute a right to publish these views.

Personal identiﬁability

Personal identiﬁability exists when it can be established that a certain person was at a certain location at a certain time. This identiﬁcation can be made by means of an identiﬁer related to a speciﬁc person, e.g. a car number plate. Personal identiﬁability must avoided under all circumstances.

WK 5 A1

Surveillance cameras at the workplace

Surveillance at the workplace is subject to particularly strict legislation in Germany. Employers should not use surveillance cameras in the workplace in any cases where this could lead to a possible infringement of legal rights.

Road traﬃc surveillance cameras

In case of surveillance cameras directed at road traﬃc, it is advisable that the location of the camera and the framing of the image be selected so that the road users cannot be identiﬁed by means of the registration plates. Inscriptions/logos on vehicles may also serve as a means of identifying a road user.

Duty of notiﬁcation

If it is not possible to preclude the identiﬁcation of persons, a notiﬁcation informing of the presence of the surveillance camera must be placed at clearly visible locations on all access routes to the area within the ﬁlming range of the camera. Pedestrians must also be informed that by entering the ﬁlming range of the camera they give their consent to be ﬁlmed/photographed and if they do not consent then they should not access the aﬀected area. The voluntary nature of this consent must be considered. If the camera is located such that an aﬀected person must pass by in order to reach a destination (e.g. at the entrance to a place of interest) then the absence of voluntariness precludes the granting of an eﬀective consent. The respective legal requirements of the country in which the camera is being used should always be observed to avoid possible infringements of the rights of third parties.

WK 5 A1

Disposal of packaging materials

The packaging protects the device from damage during carriage. The packaging materials have been selected for their environmental friendliness and ease of disposal, and are therefore recyclable.

Returning the packaging to the material cycle conserves

raw materials and reduces the amount of waste that is generated. Dispose of packaging materials that are no longer needed in accordance with applicable local regulations.

NOTICE

► If possible, keep the original packaging of the device during

the warranty period so that the device can be packed properly for return shipment in the event of a warranty claim.

Set-up location requirements

Mode

To select whether photos or videos will be recorded when motion is detected. In "Photo & Video" mode, the camera ﬁrst takes a photo and then starts ﬁlming video.

Photo resolution

Select a photo size: 1MP, 3MP, 5MP (preset), 8MP or 12MP. The larger the ﬁle size, the more detailed the image. However, the maximum number of high-resolution images that can be stored before the memory card is full is much lower.

Photo series

Select the number of photos that are to be taken in succession when the camera is activated in photo mode. In addition to single shot mode (1 photo), you can take "2 photos in series" or "3 photos in series".

Video resolution

Select the screen resolution: 1920×1080P, 1280×720P, 720×480P, 640×480P or 320×240P. Here too, the higher the resolution, the sooner the capacity limit of the memory card will be reached.

WK 5 A1

Video length

Use the

/ buttons to select the length of the video recording (between 3–59 seconds or 1–10 minutes) that will be made when video recording is activated. The longer the recording time selected, the shorter the operating time. The preset video length is 5 seconds.

Audio recording

If you want the camera to record sound when recording videos, select "On" here.

Shot lag

Use the

/ buttons to select the minimum time period that the camera should wait before reacting to subsequent activation of the main sensor after the initial recording.
