POWER
The battery level is shown in the REPORT mode. (4/4 = full, 1/4= low) When the battery level shows 2/4, the camera will continue to take pictures but we strongly recommend changing the batteries before they are empty.
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 the AA batteries, slide the switch inside the battery case to ALK. Insert the batteries in the battery case as indicated and insert it inside the camera (see figure below). 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 than an alkaline battery. During the installation of the lithium battery pack, slide the switch inside the battery case to RECH. Insert the battery in the case as indicated and insert it inside the camera (see figure below)

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 RECH. For the accessories available, refer to the section OPTIONS.

Solar panel
This model also offers the possibility of a connection to 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). During the installation of the rechargeable lithium battery pack, slide the switch inside the battery case to RECH to activate the charging system of the solar panel.

MEMORY CARD
Using a memory card (sold separately, refer to the section OPTIONS) is required to operate the camera. When the camera is turned on, the screen displays "Insert memory card" in PHOTO, VIDEO or TEST mode if no memory card is used, the camera also beeps. The camera is compatible with SD/SDHC memory card, 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 viewing screen indicates "Disk full" when PHOTO, VIDEO or TEST mode are selected. The following data shows an approximate quantity of photos or video length that can be taken by the camera depending on the memory card capacity.

Test light
VIDEO
To take videos. The VIDEO mode must be selected by pressing OK; the test light in the front of the camera will flash for 60 seconds to allow the operator to walk away from the camera without being recorded.
TEST
To set the camera or the distance. When TEST mode is selected, no picture or video is recorded. Walk perpendicularly in front of the camera. When the camera detects movement, the light winks to indicate that normally, a photo or video would have been recorded. If the system does not detect the movement, increase the distance detection using the "Settings" menu (the option "Sensitivity" allows the user to set the sensitivity to "High", "Medium" or "Low"). You can also realign the camera differently. Once you understand how the device responds to detections, you can better adjust the direction or the height of the camera.
In TEST mode, it is possible to take a picture by pressing the OK button. The photo is saved and appears in the VIEW mode.
How to properly install your camera using the supplied installation strap:
(Recommended installation height: about 3 feet).

SETTINGS
To define the options of the camera. To set the system in English, hold the button until "Language" is highlighted. Press OK, select "English" and confirm your choice with OK. The system will than change all the menus to English.
Time Start / |
Allow the user to set the period of |
Time Stop: |
operation of the camera. The start and stop |
|
time are the hours during the camera is |
|
in action and records pictures or videos. |
|
Example: if the user selects a start time |
|
"7:00 am" and a stop time "11:00 am", |
|
the camera will only detect for that period |
|
of time and will stay inactive for the |
|
remaining hours. Press OK and use or |
|
to adjust the hour. Press again OK to set |
|
the minutes. When the time is properly set, |
|
press OK once more to go back. |
|
For an activation of 24 hours, the same |
|
start and stop time must be entered |
|
(example: 00:00 as start time and 00:00 |
|
as stop time. These hours are the basic |
|
settings of your camera) |
|
Note: The hours can be recorded over a |
|
12 or 24 hours period. Refer to "Setting"/ |
|
"Time format" (00:00 means midnight). |
|
|
Delay: Select the time interval between photos or
(10s/1m/3m/5m/ videos. 10m/15m/30m)
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)

powered by a main electric supply. |
|
|
(using a 12-volt DC adapter AD-12V, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sold separately). Main electric supply is |
|
|
|
recommended for security purposes. It |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
provides an instant trigger time when a |
|
|
|
movement is detected. The lithium battery |
|
|
|
pack and 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). |
|
|
|
Note: When using the electricity power, |
|
|
|
the «Multi-shot» mode and the «Delay» |
|
|
|
between photos are disabled as the camera |
|
|
|
starts instantly every time it detects |
|
|
|
motion. Also, the imprinting temperature |
|
|
|
on each picture is disabled. |

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 IR-Booster (sold separately, refer to the section OPTIONS).
LED for infrared sensor
Off: LEDs are deactivated so your night photos or videos are pitch black.

Time Lapse:
(Off/30s/1m/3m/
5m/15m/30m/1h)
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 (start time and stop time) 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. The photo resolution remains the same except for the low resolution which are reduced to 800 x 600.
REPORT
The report mode keeps a record of the last period of use of the camera. The beginning date corresponds with the moment the camera is set to either PHOTO or VIDEO mode. Thus, the report is reset when changing modes.
