a solar panel SP-12V (sold separately, refer to the section
« OPTIONS ») to maintain the charge of the lithium battery
(sold separately, refer to the section « OPTIONS ») or the 12
volt battery (sold separately, refer to the section « OPTIONS »).
During the installation of the rechargeable lithium battery or
12 volt battery, slide up the switch inside the battery case up to
« LIT-09 » to activate the charging system of the solar panel.
AA batteries
This camera requires the use of 6 AA batteries (1.5V). The
use of alkaline or lithium batteries is strongly recommended.
MEMORY CARD
Also note that the voltage of rechargeable AA batteries
(1.2V) is insufficient to power your SPYPOINT camera.
During the installation of AA batteries, place 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.
Using a memory card is required to operate the camera
SPYPOINT ECLYPSE. When the camera is « ON » and no
memory card is used, the LCD panel displays « CArd » meaning
to insert one. The SD slot of 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
Lithium battery pack
The camera SPYPOINT ECLYPSE can be powered by a
rechargeable lithium battery LIT-09/LIT-C-8 (sold separately,
refer to the section «OPTIONS»). This type of battery is less
from the memory card. When the SD card is full, the LCD panel
indicates « FULL ». The following data shows an approximate
quantity of photos which can be recorded by the camera
depending on the memory card capacity.
affected by cold temperatures and lasts up to 3 times more then
an alkaline battery. During the installation of lithium battery,
place the switch inside the battery case to «LIT-09».
External (12V)
The camera can 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). When using a
12 volt connection, we recommend removing the AA batteries
to prevent surcharges. During the installation of a 12 volt

DISTANCE
DOWNLOAD TO A COMPUTER
Turn the dial to the right to increase distance.
English
The « DISTANCE » dial (placed on the side of the camera) can
adjust the sensitivity of the detector. The camera is equipped
with a detector sensitive to infrared. The system detects only heat
source in motion. The greater the mass of heat, more sensitive is the
system. Range of detector is between 5 and 50 feet. The best way
to adjust the distance is to set the camera in « SET/TEST » mode
(see above). Make sure to have the least possible objects in front of
the camera during the positioning. This prevents picture taken by
the camera when oriented towards the sun while an object moves in
front of the camera (eg. a branch)
SOUND RECORDING
The SPYPOINT ECLYPSE offers the possibility to record
the sound in « VIDEO » mode. When the « VIDEO » mode is
selected, the camera automatically records the sound. Under the
camera, you can find a rubber cap with the inscription MIC. If
the user does not want to record the sound, the rubber cap needs
to stay in place. If the sound recording is required, the user must
lift the rubber cap and turned it slightly so that the microphone
receiver is completely cleared (See figure below).
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 and 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.
