- Upon detection, the camera will automatically capture photos or videos with an ultra-fast trigger speed of just 0.2 seconds.
- Captured media is saved to the installed TF card.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the camera lens and body with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt or moisture. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Battery Care: Replace batteries when low to ensure continuous operation. Remove batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
- Storage: Store the camera in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
- Weather Protection: Although the camera is IP54 rated for water and dust resistance, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy rain, snow, direct sun) should be minimized for optimal longevity.
6. Troubleshooting
- Camera not powering on: Check battery installation and ensure batteries are charged.
- No photos/videos captured: Verify that the TF card is correctly inserted and has sufficient free space. Ensure the camera is in an active mode.
- Poor image quality: Clean the camera lens. Ensure the camera is positioned correctly and not obstructed.
