Setup Guide

1. Initial Preparation

• Memory Card Installation and Formatting: Before first use, insert a Micro SD card (up to 512 GB recommended, 32GB card included). It is crucial to format the memory card within the camera's settings to ensure proper functionality.
• Battery Installation: For optimal performance and to prevent power interruption during extended rainy periods, it is recommended to install 8 AA LR6 1.5V alkaline batteries (not included) in the camera, even when using the solar panel.
• Protective Film Removal: Carefully remove all protective films from the camera lens, infrared lamp lens, and PIR sensor. Failure to do so may negatively affect image and video quality.

2. Mounting the Camera

The camera can be mounted using the included wall mount or tree strap. Choose a location that provides a clear view of the area you wish to monitor, ensuring the camera is stable and secure.

Configure parameters such as photo resolution (up to 32MP), video resolution (up to 4K), detection sensitivity, time-lapse settings, and operating period as needed. Ensure the cover is securely fastened after configuration to prevent water damage.

Operating Instructions
