1.Getting Started
When mounting the camera outdoors, use the strap
that was included with the camera. Periodically
clean the camera lens and PIR sensor to avoid dust
build up, which can reduce picture quality, and
check to make sure the mounting strap is not loose.

2. Camera Operations
2.1 Batteries/ Power Supply
The camera is powered by four or eight AA batteries
- High-density, high-performance, rechargeable
Alkaline or NiMH batteries are recommended.
When the batteries are low, the indication LED will
blink twice, then the camera will automatically shut
down.
A DC 6-Volt, 2 Amp external power supply adapter
can also be used to power the camera (not
included).
2.2 SD Card Information
To take full advantage of the latest technologies, we
recommend Class 10 SD cards or better, which have
fast transfer speeds and long durability for
extensive shooting in the most extreme outdoor
conditions. Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC)
PRO cards work with SDHC compatible devices
only. Please check that your product is compatible
with SDHC cards.
●Insert the SD card into the camera before
turning on the camera
This camera supports up to a 32GB capacity SD

card and has no built-in internal memory. The
camera will not function if the SD card is not
properly inserted.
●Make sure the SD card is unlocked before
inserting the SD card into the camera
The camera will power off if a locked SD card is
inserted.
●If you experience any problems with an
inserted SD card
Try reformatting the SD card using the option in the
camera’s main settings.
2.3 SIM Card Information
●Insert the SIM card into the camera before
turning on the camera
The camera SIM slot is designed for a standard size
SIM card. If you have a nano or micro size SIM
card, using a SIM card adapter (which is included
with most of our cameras) will be required to
connect your camera to the cellular network.
Note: The camera will still function without a SIM
card. The SIM card is needed only for the
wireless/cellular capabilities.

2.4 Camera Modes
The different modes are accessed by sliding the
power switch to the different positions marked on
the camera:
●OFF Mode
Turns the camera off. The camera will still consume
a small amount of power while in OFF mode. It is
recommended to remove the batteries if the camera
will not be used for a long period of time.
●TEST/SETUP Mode
Customize the camera settings, or play back
pictures and videos the camera has taken on the
LCD display.
●ON Mode [ Hunting Mode ]
The camera will take pictures or videos when
motion is detected and/or at specific time intervals,
according to the programmed settings. After
switching the camera to the ON position, the
motion indicator LED (red) will blink for about 10
seconds and then turn off. This preset time allows
you to adjust the cameras position before the
camera becomes active, if needed.
2.5 Trigger Modes
There are 3 different trigger modes for the camera:
PIR Trigger/Sensitivity, Time Lapse, and a
Page

combined PIR/Time Lapse mode. These modes are
controlled by three different menu options (PIR
Trigger/Sensitivity, PIR Interval, and Time Lapse).
PIR Trigger/Sensitivity: Controls how
responsive the camera is to motion. If the PIR
Trigger/Sensitivity option is set to OFF, the camera
will not respond to any motion within the camera’s
range.
Time Lapse: The camera will activate at the set
time interval regardless of if motion is detected. If
the Time Lapse option is set to OFF, this trigger
function will be disabled.
Combined PIR/Time Lapse: For the
combination of both PIR and Time Lapse triggering,
the following settings must be set correctly:
PIR Trigger/Sensitivity must NOT be set to
OFF
The Time Lapse interval must be set to a
non-zero value.
The camera will capture pictures or videos when
motion is detected and at the preset time, regardless
of if motion is detected at that time.
Additional PIR settings to note:
PIR Interval
This setting indicates how long the PIR sensor will
be disabled after it is triggered. During this time
