1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing a Moondyne 3GExtreme Trail Camera.
Our cameras have been developed for Australian conditions and have been tested in some of
the most demanding conditions Australia has to offer. We are confident that you will be happy
with your purchase and we encourage any feedback you have that will help to continually improve
our products.

1.1 Full Functionality Introduction

Our trail cameras are designed to be easy to use, whilst still having all of the functions you would
expect from today’s high tech devices. Such as 52°FOV lens, 56pcs (Black Flash) IR LEDs, 0.4
seconds trigger time, 1 photo/sec (up to 5 photos per trigger) multi-shot, HD Video, and a user
friendly operational menu.

1.2 Application

This camera is the ideal product for farm security, property surveillance, or animal monitoring.
Its camouflage finish combined with black flash IR LEDs keeps it out of sight, whilst monitoring
your property or game trails.
A hassle free surveillance camera for home, farm, construction site, warehouse or outdoors that
can send a photo directly to your phone or email (requires SIM card for this function) and also
keeps a copy on your SD card.

1.3 Power Supply

A. Batteries

The camera runs on 8 x AA size batteries. It can work with alkaline, high-quality NiMH, or Lithium
rechargeable batteries.

It is suggested to run the camera with NiMH or Lithium batteries as these provide better power
and longer run times.

Batteries should be inserted as indicated inside the battery case. Batteries inserted contrary to
this may cause device malfunction. We strongly recommend changing the batteries when the
power icon on camera screen or photo stamp shows empty or near empty.

Note: Do not mix batteries types. Mixing battery types in the camera may cause permanent
damage, which also violates our warranty policy.

Due to different settings, subject movement within the camera detection zone, different brands
and qualities of batteries, and the environment, we are unable to list exact number of photos and
videos that the camera can achieve. The table below shows approximate number of photos or
videos the camera can take with 8 x AA alkaline batteries. Better performance can be achieved
by using rechargeable NiMH or Lithium batteries.

B. Solar Panel

Our engineers have designed this camera to be able to work with most standard 12V/1~2 Amp
built-in lithium battery, solar panels. Solar panels with built in batteries are only designed to re­charge their in-built batteries. They will not recharge the AA batteries inside the camera.

C. Power Adaptor—Security Surveillance Purpose

This camera can also be powered by an external 12V/ 1~2A DC adapter. It is recommended to
remove the batteries when a power adapter is being used. Electrical power is recommended for
security purposes.

1.4 SD Card Selection

A memory card is required to operate the camera. When the camera is "ON" and there is no
memory card inserted, the screen will display "No Card!". The SD slot of the camera has a 32GB
SD memory card capacity. Before inserting or removing the memory card the camera must be
turned "OFF". Failing to do so may cause loss of or damage to the pictures on the card. When
the SD card is full, the viewing screen indicates "Memory Full". Camera function can be set to
overwrite, allowing new pictures to overwrite the old ones once the memory card is full.
The chart below shows the approximate capacity of different size SD cards. Please check to see
which size card will best suit your needs.
