The battery level is shown in the REPORT mode (4/4 = full, 1/4= low) and in the bottom right corner of the screen when the camera is in TEST mode.
When the battery level shows 2/4 or when a single line remains (see gure
below), the camera will continue to take photos but we strongly recommend to change the AA batteries or charge the lithium battery pack before they
are empty. If a video is being recorded and the batteries level reaches 0%, the camera saves the le before shutting down.
AA BATTERIES
This camera requires 6 AA batteries (1.5V). The use of alkaline or lithium batteries is strongly recommended. During the installation of the AA batteries, slide the battery switch to ALK (i.e. alkaline). Insert the batteries in the removable battery holder as indicated and insert it inside the camera
(see gure below). Battery polarity must be followed.
Please note that the voltage of rechargeable AA batteries (1.2V) is
insufcient to power the SPYPOINT camera. We also recommend the
use of new batteries to ensure maximum performance of the camera.
LITHIUM BATTERY PACK
This SPYPOINT camera can be powered by a rechargeable lithium battery
pack LIT-09/LIT-C-8 (sold separately). This type of battery is less affected
by cold temperatures and lasts up to 3 times longer than an alkaline bat­teries. During the installation of the lithium battery pack, slide the battery
switch to RECH. Insert the battery in the removable battery holder and insert it inside the camera (see gures above).
EXTERNAL (12V)
This camera can also be powered by an external 12-volt DC input such as a 12-volt battery (KIT-12V, BATT-12V or KIT6V/12V) or a 12-volt adapter (AD-12V), each sold separately. During the installation of a 12-volt connec­tion, slide the battery switch to ALK (the AA batteries can remain safely inside the camera). If combined with a lithium battery pack, slide the bat-
tery switch to RECH. For available accessories, see p.33.

TINY
Wireless: (TINY-PLUS, TINY-W
BF
, TINY-W3)
(On/Off)
Enables or disables the wireless transmission of photos to the BLACKBOX receiver (TINY-WBF), to the BLACKBOX-D controller (TINY-PLUS, TINY­W
3
).
When the transmission is enabled:
• Only photos are transmitted to the receiver and to the controller, not videos.
• The quality of the photos recorded on the receiver and the controller is reduced to maximize transmission:
8 or 10MP = 800 x 600 pixels 5MP = 640 x 480 pixels 3MP = 320 x 240 pixels
• When the TIME LAPSE mode is enabled, the photos are sent to the
receiver and to the controller except for the "30s" setting.
• When the delay setting "10s" is selected, the time between each
detection is calculated when the transmission is completed. For example, if the transmission takes two seconds, the time between the two detections is 12 seconds.
Note: When the "Wireless" option is activated, it is only possible to take up
to 2 consecutive shots
(TINY-PLUS, TINY-W3).
Delay:
(10s/1m/3m/5m/10m/15m/30m)
Allows the user to choose the time interval between each detection before the camera records the next photo or video. A longer delay minimize the number of photos taken and maximize the battery life. A shorter delay maximize the number of photos taken but requires more battery power. The shorter times interval are recommended when the cameras is used for security purposes.
Additional setting:
It is possible to decrease the delay between detections to 10 seconds
(instead of 1 minute) by using the following procedure.
Note that the battery life will be affected.
1. Turn OFF the camera.
2. Press and hold the button and turn ON the camera.
3. "10sec enabled" appears on the screen meaning the minimum delay is now 10 seconds. If this option is used, the 30 minute delay disappears.
4. To reset the camera to 1 minute delay, follow the same procedure.
"10sec disabled" appears on the screen. (see next gure)
Multi-shot:
(1/2/3/4/5/6 consecutive shots)
Takes up to 6 consecutive shots at each detection, with a 10-second delay
between each photo. This option allows the user to get up to 6 photos
from different angles when the camera is in PHOTO mode.
Note: When the "Wireless" option is activated, it is only possible to take up
to 2 consecutive shots (TINY-PLUS, TINY-W

Quality:
(Low/Medium/High)
Allows the user to set the photo resolution. The low resolution allows the user to save space on the card and the high resolution allows the user to get a better photo quality.
When the quality is set to "High", the video resolution is automatically set to 1280 x 720 or 640 x 480 (TINY-WBF) and when is set to "Medium" or "Low", the video resolution is automatically set to 640 x 480 or 320 x 240 (TINY-WBF).
Temperature:

Allows the user to select the temperature display.
Continuous:
(Yes/No)
Allows the user to take photos or videos even if the memory card is full.
The camera will continue to record photos or videos by deleting the rst recorded les.
Power:
(Batteries/Electricity)
Allows the user to select the type of power supply.
Choose "Electricity" if the camera is powered by a main electric power
supply (using a 12-volt DC adapter, #AD-12V, sold separately. A main electric power supply is recommended when camera is used for security purposes. It provides an instant trigger time when a movement is detec­ted. The lithium battery pack and the AA batteries can remain safely inside the camera and it is ideal for blackouts. A 12-volt DC adapter that can
provide a minimum of 800 mA is required (p.33).
Note: When using a main electric power supply, the MULTI-SHOT mode
and the DELAY option are disabled as the camera triggers instantly every time it detects motion. Also, the printing of the temperature on each photo is disabled.

Side sensors:
(On/Off)
When the side sensors are activated, a total of 7 zones are covered. The central sensor covers 5 zones. The side detectors are mainly used to pre­pare the camera so when your target passes through the central sensor, the system is already pre-triggered, increasing greatly the reaction time of your camera (ideal when the camera is placed near a narrow trail).
The side sensors require more battery power.
