POWER
The battery level is shown on the LCD screen. When a single line remains, the camera will continue to take pictures but we strongly recommend changing the batteries before they are empty. (See figure below)
AA batteries
This camera requires the use of 6 AA batteries (1.5V). The use of alkaline or lithium batteries is strongly recommended.
Also note that the voltage of rechargeable AA batteries (1.2V) is insufficient to power your SPYPOINT® camera.
During the installation of the AA batteries, slide the switch inside the battery case to ALK. Insert the batteries as indicated inside the battery case. Exact polarity must be followed. We also recommend the use of new batteries to ensure maximum performance of your camera.
Lithium battery pack
This camera SPYPOINT® can be powered by a rechargeable lithium battery pack LIT-09/LIT-C-8 (sold separately, refer to the section OPTIONS). This type of battery is less affected by cold temperatures and lasts up to 3 times longer then an alkaline battery. During the installation of the lithium battery, slide the switch inside the battery case to LIT-09.
External (12V)
This camera can also be powered from an external 12-volt DC input such as a 12-volt battery (KIT-12V/BATT-12V, sold separately) or a 12-volt adapter (AD-12V, sold separately). During the installation of a 12-volt connection, slide the switch inside the battery case to ALK (the AA batteries can remain safely inside the camera). If combined with a lithium battery pack, slide the switch to LIT-09. For the accessories available, refer to the section OPTIONS.

MEMORY CARD
Using a memory card is required to operate this camera SPYPOINT®. When the camera is ON and no memory card is used, the screen displays "CArd" meaning to insert one. The camera can accept memory cards up to 32 GB capacity. Before inserting or removing the memory card, the camera must be turned OFF. Failing to do so may cause loss of or damage the pictures already recorded from the memory card. When the SD card is full, the screen indicates "FUL". The following data shows an approximate quantity of photos which can be recorded by the camera depending on the memory card capacity.

PHOTO |
|
|
Allows you to take pictures. When the PHOTO mode is |
|
|
selected, the test light in front of the camera (see below) will |
|
|

Test light
VIDEO Allows you to take videos. When the VIDEO mode is selected, the test light in front of the camera (see above) will flash for 60 seconds to allow the user to leave the area without being recorded.
SET-TEST
Allows the user to test the detection system of the camera. When the SET/TEST mode is selected, no picture or video is recorded. Walk perpendicularly in front of the camera. When the camera detects movement, the light blinks to indicate that normally, a photo or video would be recorded. If the system does not detect the movement, increase the distance detection using the wheel DISTANCE or realign the system differently. When you understand how the device responds to detections, you can better adjust the direction or the height of the installation.
How to properly install your camera using the supplied installation strap:
(Recommended installation height: about 3 feet).
VIEW
Allows the user to view photos and videos directly on a TV set. Turn OFF the camera and select VIEW. Connect the yellow end of the RCA cable (supplied) into the VIDEO IN of the TV and the other end into the TV OUT of the camera. Turn ON the camera and the last recorded picture or video will appear. To change the picture or the video, use the key UP or DOWN. If you press MENU/OK, the following options will appear:

This dial allows to adjust 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 50 feet. The best way to adjust the distance is to set the camera in SET/TEST mode. Make sure to have the least possible objects in front of the camera during the positioning. This prevent pictures being taken by the camera when oriented towards the sun while an object moves in front of the camera (e.g. a branch).
DOWNLOAD TO A COMPUTER
To transfer or view photos and videos on a PC, you must first turn the camera OFF and connect the USB cable (supplied) from the camera to your computer. The computer will recognize the camera and install the software itself. Click on "My Computer" and select "Removable Disk". Then click "DCIM" and "100DSCIM" to find all your photos and videos.
Taking the SD card out of the camera and inserting it into the computer port will achieve same results. If no SD slot is built into the computer, a multi-card reader RD25-1 (sold separately) must be used.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No person/ animal on photos
1.Rising sun or sunset can trigger the sensor. Camera must be re-orientated.
2.At night, motion detector may detect beyond range of the IR illumination. Reduce distance setting.
3.Small animal may trigger the unit. Reduce distance setting and/or raise height of camera.
4.Motion detector may sense animals through foliage.
5.If person/animal moves quickly, it may move out of the camera’s field of view before photo is taken. Move camera further back or redirect camera.
6.Make sure the mounting post or tree is stable and does not move.
Red light in front of camera blinks
•MODE switch is in SET/TEST.
•MODE switch is in PHOTO or VIDEO. The red light in front of the camera flashes for 60 seconds to allow the user to leave without being photographed or recorded.
The camera screen turns off
The camera may be set to PHOTO or VIDEO mode and the screen turns off after a period of 60 seconds in order to preserve battery life. To return to the screen, turn off the camera and turn it on again.
