5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On and Basic Settings
- Open the camera casing.
- Slide the power switch from OFF to SETUP. The LCD screen will turn on.
- Use the navigation buttons (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, OK) to access the menu.
- Navigate to "Date/Time" to set the current date and time. This is crucial for accurate timestamps on your recordings.
- Format the SD card through the menu option to ensure compatibility and clear any previous data.
5.2 Operating Modes
The camera offers three primary operating modes:
- Photo Mode: Captures still images when triggered.
- Video Mode: Records video clips when triggered.
- Photo + Video Mode: Captures a still image followed by a video clip when triggered.
Select your desired mode from the camera's menu settings.
5.3 PIR Sensor and Trigger Settings
The Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor detects motion and triggers the camera. The CY60 features a 120° detection angle with a central 60° sensor and two side 30° sensors.
- PIR Sensitivity: Adjust sensitivity (Low, Medium, High) based on the environment to prevent false triggers or missed events.
- PIR Interval: Set the delay between consecutive triggers to avoid capturing too many redundant images/videos of the same event.
- Trigger Speed: The camera boasts an ultra-fast 0.2-second trigger speed to capture fast-moving subjects.

5.4 Night Vision
The camera utilizes 36 low-glow 850nm infrared LEDs for night vision, providing clear black and white images and videos in low-light conditions without disturbing wildlife.

5.5 Viewing Media
You can view captured photos and videos directly on the camera's LCD screen or by connecting the camera to a computer using the provided USB cable. Alternatively, remove the SD card and insert it into a compatible card reader.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance, regularly clean the camera lens and the PIR sensors with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
If condensation appears on the lens, open the camera casing to allow it to air dry in a dry environment.
6.2 Water Resistance
The CEYOMUR CY60 is rated IP66 waterproof, providing protection against dust and strong jets of water. Ensure the casing is securely closed and the rubber seal is free of debris to maintain its water resistance.
6.3 Battery and SD Card Management
Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the screen. Regularly check the SD card for available space and transfer important files to a computer to prevent data loss.
7. Troubleshooting
- Camera not powering on:
Ensure batteries are inserted correctly with the right polarity and are fully charged. Check if the power switch is in the 'SETUP' or 'ON' position.
- No photos/videos captured:
Verify that the SD card is properly inserted and has sufficient free space. Check PIR sensitivity settings; increase if necessary. Ensure the camera is in the correct operating mode (Photo, Video, or Photo+Video). Confirm that the PIR interval is not set too long.
- Poor night vision:
Ensure the camera lens and IR LEDs are clean and unobstructed. Check battery levels, as low power can affect IR performance.
- Short battery life:
Using high-quality alkaline or rechargeable batteries is recommended. Frequent video recording, especially at night, consumes more power. Reduce PIR sensitivity or interval if excessive triggers occur.
- Condensation on lens:
Open the camera casing and allow it to dry in a warm, dry environment. Ensure the rubber seal is clean and the casing is securely closed to prevent moisture ingress.
