Cozion Smart Bird Feeder Camera G14 User Manual

4.1. Charging the Camera

Before first use, fully charge the camera module. The feeder supports two power supply modes:

1. Solar Charging: The integrated solar panel charges the internal 1500mAh battery when exposed to sunlight. Ensure the solar panel is clean and unobstructed for optimal charging.
2. USB Charging: For faster initial charging or during prolonged periods of low sunlight, connect the camera module to a 5V/1A USB power adapter using the provided USB cable. A full charge typically takes 3-4 hours.

4.2. Inserting the TF Card

Locate the TF card slot on the camera module. Gently insert the provided 32GB TF card until it clicks into place. Ensure the card is inserted in the correct orientation. The camera will not record without a TF card.

4.3. Mounting the Feeder

Choose a suitable location for your bird feeder, such as a tree branch or a sturdy pole, ensuring it is stable and accessible for refilling. Use the included strap or mounting hardware to securely attach the feeder. Position the solar panel to receive maximum direct sunlight throughout the day.

4.4. Filling the Feeder

Open the lid of the feeder and pour in your desired birdseed. The feeder has a 1-liter capacity. Close the lid securely to protect the seed from weather and pests.

5.1. Camera Modes

The camera module offers three easy operating modes:

• Photo Mode: Captures still images when motion is detected.
• Video Mode: Records video clips when motion is detected.
• Camera + Video Mode: Captures both a still image and a video clip when motion is detected.

Select your desired mode using the switch on the camera module. The camera will automatically begin recording or taking photos when a bird approaches the feeder.

5.2. Day and Night Operation

The camera is equipped with a 940 nm infrared (IR) function for continuous monitoring. When the environment becomes dark or at night, the IR function will automatically activate, allowing the camera to capture clear photos or videos in low-light conditions. All captured media is saved to the inserted memory card.

5.3. Viewing Recordings

To view your captured photos and videos, remove the TF card from the camera module and insert it into a compatible card reader connected to your computer or smartphone. Alternatively, some camera modules may support direct connection via USB to a computer for file transfer (refer to specific camera model instructions if available).

6.1. Cleaning the Feeder

Regular cleaning is essential for the health of visiting birds. Remove all old seed and debris. Wash the feeder components with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Ensure all parts are completely dry before refilling with fresh seed. Clean the solar panel periodically with a soft, damp cloth to maintain charging efficiency.

6.2. Waterproof Design (IP65)

The Cozion Smart Bird Feeder Camera features an IP65 waterproof design, protecting it from rain and splashes. This allows the feeder to be used outdoors in various weather conditions, ensuring birds can feed at any time. While it is waterproof, avoid submerging the device in water.

6.3. Battery Care

To prolong battery life, ensure the solar panel receives adequate sunlight. If the feeder is stored for an extended period, fully charge the battery before storage and recharge every few months to prevent deep discharge.
