POWER
The battery level is shown in the lower left corner of 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. During the installation of AA batteries, place the switch inside the battery case to "ALK" (i.e. alkaline). 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
The camera can be powered by a rechargeable lithium battery LIT-09/LIT-C-8 (sold separately, see section "OPTIONS"). This type of battery is less affected by cold temperatures and lasts up to 3 times longer than 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 connection, place the switch inside the battery case to "ALK" (i.e. alkaline). If combined with a lithium battery pack, slide the switch to "LIT-09". To find the accessories available for the 12-volts, see section "OPTIONS".
MEMORY STORAGE
Using a memory card (sold separately, see section "OPTIONS") is required to operate the camera. When the camera is "ON" and no memory card is used, the LCD panel displays "CArd" meaning to insert one. The camera is compatible with SD/SDHC memory card, up to 32 GB capacity. Before inserting or removing a memory card, the camera must be turned off. Failing to do so may cause loss of pictures or damage the pictures already saved on the memory card. When the SD card is full, the LCD panel indicates "FUL". The following data shows an approximate quantity of photos which can be recorded by the camera depending on the memory card capacity.

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:
(Recommanded installation height: about 3 feet).
VIEW
Allows the user to view photos and videos directly on a TV set. Turn "OFF" your camera and select "VIEW". Connect the yellow end of the audio-video cable (supplied) into the "VIDEO IN" of the TV and the other end into the "TV OUT" of the camera. Turn "ON" the camera. You will see the last picture or video recorded by your system. To change the picture or the video, use the key "UP" or "DOWN". If you press "MENU/ OK", the following options will appear:

DELAY
Allows to choose the time interval to wait between each detection before the camera records the next photo or video.
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.
Turn OFF the camera. Press and hold the camera on. "10_S" appears on the minute delay has been replaced by a 10 the camera to 1 minute delay, follow "1_M" appears on the screen (see figure
the "UP" button, turn screen meaning the 1 second delay. To reset the same procedure. below).
10_5
10 sec. delay 1 min. delay
MULTI-SHOT
To take up to 4 consecutive shots at each detection, with a 10 second delay between each photo. This option is available in "PHOTO" mode.
VIDEO LENGTH
Allows you to select the recording duration when the camera is set in "VIDEO" mode.
DISTANCE
Turn the dial to the right to increase distance.
11
English
12
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, the more the system is sensitive . 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).
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 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No person / animal on photos
1.Rising sun or sunset can trigger sensor. Camera must be reoriented.
2.At night, motion detector may detect beyond range of the IR illumination. Reduce distance setting.
3.Small animals may be triggering 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. Camera must be set on a stable and immovable object i.e. large tree.
6.Make sure the mounting post or tree is stable and does not move.
Red light in front of camera blinks
1."MODE" switch is in "SET/TEST".
2."MODE" switch is in "PHOTO" or "VIDEO".A red light on the front of the camera flash for 60 seconds to allow the user to leave without being photographed or filmed.
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.
