The CY95 camera features a built-in rechargeable lithium battery and a solar panel for continuous power. For extended operation or in low light conditions, you can also install 4 AA alkaline batteries (not included) as a backup power source.

• The internal lithium battery is the primary power source and is recharged by the solar panel.
• AA batteries act as a backup and will be used when the internal battery level drops below 30%.

Operating the Camera

1. Recording Modes

The camera offers three recording modes:

• Photo Mode: Captures still images when motion is detected.
• Video Mode: Records video clips when motion is detected.
• Photo + Video Mode: Captures a still image followed by a video clip when motion is detected. This is the recommended mode for comprehensive monitoring.

2. PIR Sensor Settings

Adjust the PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor settings to optimize motion detection.

• PIR Sensitivity: Set to High, Medium, or Low. High sensitivity detects smaller movements and animals, while Low focuses on larger animals.
• PIR Interval: Determines the delay between consecutive recordings after motion is detected. A shorter interval captures more events but consumes more battery and memory.
• Side PIR Setup: The camera has three PIR sensors. You can enable or disable the two side sensors to adjust the detection angle from 120° to 60°.

5. Time Lapse & Loop Recording

• Time Lapse: The camera can capture images at set intervals over a long period. This is useful for observing slow processes like plant growth or construction. Note that this mode typically records still photos which need to be compiled into a video using external software.
• Loop Recording: When enabled, the camera will continue recording even when the SD card is full by overwriting the oldest files. Disable this if you want to preserve all recorded data.
