5.1 Power On/Off

• Power On: Long press the Camera Power Button for 3 seconds. The red and blue indicator lights will be on for 2 seconds, then the blue light will remain solid, indicating standby mode. If no operation occurs within 1 minute, the camera will automatically turn off.
• Power Off: Long press the Camera Power Button for 5 seconds. The red indicator light will flash 6 times, and the device will power off.

5.2 Taking Photos

• In standby mode (blue light solid), short press the Camera Power Button once. The blue indicator light will flash once, indicating a photo has been taken.

5.3 Video Recording

The camera supports two video recording modes: Loop Recording and Motion Detection.

• Loop Recording (Default 'L' Mode):
  In standby mode, press the Camera Power Button again for 3 seconds. The blue indicator light will flash 3 times and then turn off, indicating continuous loop recording has started. The camera will record continuously, overwriting the oldest files when the SD card is full.
• Motion Detection ('M' Mode):
  Slide the Mode Switch to 'M' position. In standby mode, the camera will automatically start recording when it detects movement. The red light will flash 4 times and then turn off. Recording will stop when motion ceases and resume upon new detection, saving SD card space.

5.5 Gravity Sensor

The built-in gravity sensor ensures that recorded video footage is always upright, regardless of the camera's orientation (even if flipped 180 degrees). This eliminates the need to manually rotate videos during playback.
