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.

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.
