TEST
Allows the user to test the detection system of the camera.
When the TEST mode is selected, no photo or video is recorded.
Pass in front of the camera from left to right. When the camera detects
motion, the test light blinks to indicate that the camera would normally
have saved a photo or video. If the system does not detect the
movement, increase the detection distance using the DISTANCE wheel
or realign the system differently. In TEST mode, it is possible to take
a photo by pressing the OK button. The photo is saved and appears in
the VIEW mode.
CONFIGURATION
Allows the user to congure the device with the desired options.
Here are some of the available options:
Start time/Stop time:
Allows the user to set the operation period of the camera. For a 24
hour activation, the same start and stop times must be entered
(e.g.: 00:00/00:00)
Delay:
Allows the user to choose the time interval between each detection
before the camera records the next photo or video.
Multi-shot:
Takes up to 6 consecutive shots at each detection, with a 10
second delay between each photo.
Video length:
Allows the user to select the duration of the recording when the
camera is set in VIDEO mode.
Date:
Allows the user to set the date as Month/Day/Year.

supply. It provides an instant trigger time when a movement is
detected.

DISTANCE
Turn the DISTANCE dial to the right to increase the detection distance
and the sensitivity of the detector.
The camera is equipped with a detector sensitive to infrared. The
system will only detect a heat source in motion. The greater the mass
of heat, the more sensitive the system is. The range of detection is
between 5 and 65 feet. The best way to adjust the distance is to set the
camera to TEST mode. Make sure to have the least amount of objects
possible in front of the camera during positioning. This will prevent
photos being taken by the camera when oriented towards the sun at
the same time an object moves in front of the camera (e.g. a branch).
Here is a table of approximate detection distances and width of the
detection area according to the DISTANCE dial setting. The data can be
affected by the size of the subject and the outside temperature. Note
that this data is for illustrative purposes only.
