1.1 Introduction
The Selecta Wide Angle Motion Activated Security Camera can be triggered by sudden change of ambient temperature
caused by movement in a region of interest (ROI), which is detected by a highly sensitive Passive Infra-Red (PIR) sensor,
and then take pictures or video clips automatically even in the total darkness thanks to the build-in infrared LED flash.
High quality pictures (up to 12 mega pixels) or video clips are taken consequently upon the triggering.
SECURE120 features:
12 Mega Pixels Color CMOS
Wide Angle Lens 120° Field of View (More suitable for capturing objects closer to the camera)
Records Photos and/or Video
Audio recording function available
Sharp and bright color pictures in daytime. Night time (black/white) pictures areclear thanks to enhanced invisible
flash capacity
Low standby power consumption. *Extremely long in-field life (in standby mode, up to 3,6 or 9 months with 4, 8
or 12 x AA batteries. Note: * Requires good quality batteries, preferably camera batteries to achieve maximum
standby time period without activity.
Singular 140° PIR Motion sensor matched to the Camera Field of View
Perform in the most extreme temperatures from -30°C to 70°F
Trigger (or response) time 0.85 second
Serial Number function enables you to record an 4 character alpha-numeric name onto photos. This helps multi-
camera users identify the location when reviewing the photos
Date, time can be stamped in the pictures (as well as temperature and moon phase)
Lockable and password protected
Note the SECURE120 doesn’t not feature MMS functionality (other premium models of this camera are made to
feature MMS function and those cameras which have a SIM card slot in the camera). Some menu option refer to
MMS however they will not effect the operation of the SECURE120.

The camera provides the following connections for external devices: USB port, SD card slot, TV out jack, and external
DC power in jack. The 3-way Power/Mode Switch is used to select the main operation modes: OFF, ON and TEST (Also
called SET).
CAUTION: ALWAYS SWITCH THE CAMERA TO OFF MODE BEFORE YOU INSTALL OR
REMOVE THE BATTERIES OR THE SD CARD.
Quick Start
If you are not familiar with the operation of this camera, the following instructions will help you get a quick overview.
Before doing any operation, please make sure you have loaded batteries and plugged the SD card correctly. If the SD
card is not inserted correctly or its write-protect is enabled, the device will give you a long beep and turn off
automatically.
2.1 Load Batteries
To install batteries on the camera, please follow the instructions below.
1) Unlock the two buckles and open the camera, the right part is battery box.
2) Open the battery cover and load 4 / 8 / 12 pieces batteries.
To supply power, it is recommended to use new high-performance alkaline AA batteries, low self-discharge Ni-MH or
Lithium rechargeable AA batteries with a high mAh rating.
CAUTION: If you are not using the camera for an extended period of time, it is highly recommended that you remove
the batteries from the camera to avoid possible acid leak that may damage the camera which would void the warranty.
Alternatively the camera can run on an external 6V DC power source (optional, user provided). When both external
power and batteries are connected, the camera will be powered by the external one.
2.2 Insert SD Card
The camera does not come with internal memory. So it will not work without a SD (Secure Digital) memory card or
SDHC (High Capacity) card. Before inserting the SD card into the card slot, please make sure the write-protect switch
on the side of the SD card is “off” (NOT in the “Lock” position). The supported memory capacity is up to 16GB. If
you use a card capable of above 32GB, make sure you test it before putting the camera in use. Because of the HD720P
video resolution, SDHC card are recommended.

2.3 Enter Test mode
Switch to the TEST position to enter the Test mode. In this mode you can take pictures or video clips like a regular
digital camera, or enter the Menu to set up parameters. On the keypad there are four “shortcut” functional keys (see
Figure 2-1) working as below:
Figure 2.1
Press the key to set the camera to shoot video clips.
Press the key to set the camera to take still pictures.
Press the SHOT key to manually trigger the shutter. A photo or video (depending on the camera setting)
will be taken and saved to the SD card. If the display shows “CARD PROTECTED” when you press the
SHOT key, switch the power OFF, remove the SD card and slide its write-protect switch to off.
Press the REPLAY key to review/playback photos/videos on the LCD screen, or a connected TV monitor.
Use and key to navigate.
There is another key, MENU, on the keypad that allows you to program the camera to work the way you want. Please
make reference to 3.1 Parameter Settings in the Advanced Operation section.
Under the test mode, one useful function you would like is testing the work area of the PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor,
specifically the sensing angle and monitoring distance. To perform the test:
First strap the camera on a tree aiming the region of interest (ROI).
Walk slowly from one side of the ROI to the other parallel to the camera. Try different distances and angles
from the camera.
If the Motion Indicator flashes blue, it indicates the position from where you were detected by one of the
side Prep PIR sensors. If the Motion Indicator flashes red, it indicates the position from where you were
captured by the main PIR sensor.
By doing this test, you can find the best placement when mounting and aiming the Our scouting camera. In general,
you are recommended to place the camera 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) above the ground.
To avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances, please do not aim the camera at a heat
source (i.e. the sun) or nearby tree branches and limbs. The ideal direction to aim at is North or South. Also, remove
any limbs close to the front of the camera.
2.4 Enter Live Mode
Switch to the ON position to enter the Live mode. The indicator LED will blink for several seconds. This period is for
you to make the camera ready for the working condition: close the camera and battery box and lock it, mount the
camera on a tree and walk away. After entering the Live mode, the camera will begin to take picture or video
according to the previous programmed setting when human or animal enters monitor area.
Before entering the Live mode please pay attention to the following:
1) The polarity of the power is correct and the power is sufficient
2) The SD card has sufficient space and its write-protection is disabled
3) The Power switch is at the ON position
4) Avoiding temperature and motion disturbances in front of the device such as big leaf, curtain, air-conditioner, air
outlet of the chimney and other heat sources to prevent false trigger.

A high Interval prevents the SD card from filling up with too
many redundant images when there is a lot of repeat activity i.e.
animal standing at a watering trough. A low interval reduces the
chance of missing activity but increased chance of recording too
many photos using memory and battery life.
Sense Level

sensor)
Normal,
High,
Low
Select the sensitivity of the PIR sensor. The High setting suits
indoors and environments with little interference, while the
Normal/Low suits outdoors and environments with more
interference. Temperature also affects the sensitivity. The High
setting is suitable when the ambient temperature is warm, and
the Low setting is helpful in cold weather.
