Wireless:

(On/Off)

Enables or disables the wireless
transmission of images to the Blackbox­DTM controller (supplied with the TINY-W3/
S-TINY-W3).

When the transmission is enabled:

• Only pictures are transmitted to the
controller, not videos.

• The quality of the photos on the controller
is reduced to maximize transmission:

10MP = 800 x 600 pixels
5MP = 640 x 480 pixels
3MP = 320 x 240 pixels

• When in

"Time Lapse" mode, photos

are sent 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.

Delay:

(10s/1m/3m/5m/
10m/15m/30m)

Multi-shot:

(1/2/3/4/5/6
consecutive
shots)

Select the time interval between photos or
videos.

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
"" button and turn the camera ON . "10sec
enabled" appears on the screen meaning
the minimum delay is now 10 seconds. If
this option is used, the 30 minute delay
disappears. To reset the camera to 1 minute
delay, follow the same procedure. "10sec
disabled" appears on the screen (see figure
below)

10SEC DISABLED10SEC ENABLED

10 sec delay 1 min delay

Take up to 6 consecutive shots at each
detection, with a 10 second delay between
each photo. This option allows up to 6
pictures from different angles when the
camera is in "Photo" mode.

English

22

English

Choose "Electricity" if the camera is
powered by a main electric supply. (using
a 12-volt DC adapter AD-12V, sold
separately). Main electric power supply
is recommended when use for security
purposes. It provides an instant trigger time
when a movement is detected. When the
power supply is used the lithium battery
pack or the AA batteries can remain safely
inside the camera and it is ideal in case of
a blackout. A 12-volt DC adapter that can
provide a minimum of 800 mA is required
(See "Options" for accessories).

Infrared:

(On/One LED/
Off)

Allow the user to choose how many LEDs
will be turned on.

On: Every LEDs work when taking photos
or videos at night.

One LED: Only a single LED works (see
figure). This option can be useful when
using an IR-Booster/Black LEDs IR­Booster (sold separately, refer to the section
"Options").

23

English

Note: When using the electricity power, the
"Multi-shot" mode and the "Delay" between
photos are disabled as the camera triggers
instantly every time it detects motion. Also,
the printing of the temperature on each
picture is disabled.

infrared
sensor

TINY-3

Off: LEDs are deactivated so your night
photos or videos are pitch black.

24

English

Side Sensors:

(On/Off)

When the side sensors are activated, a
total of 7 zones is 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.

Note: The side sensors require more battery
power.

Allow the user to set the frequency at which
time the camera takes a picture, without
detection. For example, if the option "5
minutes" is selected in the "Time Lapse"
mode, the camera takes a picture every 5
minutes during that period of operation
(time start and time stop) even if there is no
detection.

This option allows the user to obtain
pictures of game outside the detection range
of the camera.

Note: The "Time Lapse" mode only applies
in "Photo" mode, not in "Video" mode.
When "Time Lapse" mode is selected, the
"Delay" mode and the "Multi-shot" mode
are disabled. In addition, the photo
resolution is reduced to 800 x 600 to allow
the possibility of video editing.

The RC-1 remote control is required
(sold separately, see "Options"). Allows the
user to activate or deactivate the detection
of the camera (#1,2), to remotely take a
photo or a video on command in an area of
500ft (#3) and to activate the buzzer signal
