5. Power On: Slide the power switch from OFF to TEST mode. The LCD screen will illuminate, allowing you to configure settings.
6. Configure Settings: Use the camera's buttons and LCD screen to set the date, time, capture mode (photo, video, or photo+video), resolution, PIR sensitivity, and other desired parameters. Refer to the "Operating Instructions" section for details on menu navigation.
7. Switch to ON Mode: After configuration, slide the power switch from TEST to ON. The camera will enter monitoring mode, indicated by a brief LED flash, and the screen will turn off. The camera is now ready to detect motion and capture images/videos.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Modes of Operation

• OFF: Power off the camera.
• TEST: Allows access to the camera's menu for settings configuration, viewing captured media, and manual photo/video capture. The PIR sensor is active in this mode for testing.
• ON: The camera enters active monitoring mode. The LCD screen turns off, and the camera will automatically capture photos or videos based on motion detection (PIR sensor) and configured settings.

5.2. Menu Navigation

In TEST mode, use the navigation buttons (Up, Down, Left, Right, OK/Menu) to browse through the settings menu on the 2.0" LCD. Press OK/Menu to enter a setting and OK/Menu again to confirm changes or exit.

5.3. Capture Settings

• Mode: Select Photo, Video, or Photo+Video.
  • Photo: Captures still images.
  • Video: Records video clips.
  • Photo+Video: Captures a photo followed by a video clip.
• Photo Resolution: Set image quality (e.g., 12MP, 8MP, 5MP). Higher resolution results in larger file sizes.
• Video Resolution: Set video quality (e.g., 1080P, 720P).
• PIR Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity of the Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor (Low, Medium, High). Higher sensitivity detects smaller movements or movements at greater distances, but may lead to more false triggers.
• Trigger Interval: Set the delay between consecutive triggers after a detection event.
• Night Vision: The camera automatically switches to infrared night vision mode in low-light conditions using its 48 IR LEDs. Ensure no obstructions block the IR LEDs for optimal night performance.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and PIR sensor window. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Care: Remove batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage. Use high-quality alkaline or rechargeable batteries.
• Storage: Store the camera in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
