- Switch the camera to "TEST" mode.
- Use the navigation buttons to access the menu.
- Set the current date and time.
- Format the SD card (this will erase all data on the card).
- Select your preferred operating mode (Photo, Video, or Photo+Video).
- Adjust other settings such as resolution, PIR sensitivity, and trigger interval as needed.
4. Mounting the Camera
The camera is designed for tree mounting.
- Choose a suitable location, typically a tree or post, that provides a clear view of the area you wish to monitor.
- Thread the mounting strap through the strap holes on the back of the camera.
- Securely fasten the camera to the tree/post, ensuring it is stable and pointed in the desired direction.
- Adjust the camera angle to optimize the field of view and motion detection range.
Operating Instructions
Operating Modes
The camera typically offers three main operating 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.
Activating the Camera
- After completing the setup and configuration in "TEST" mode, switch the camera to "ON" mode.
- The camera will typically enter a brief countdown period (e.g., 10-30 seconds) before becoming fully active. This allows you to leave the area without triggering the sensor.
- Once active, the camera will automatically capture photos or videos based on your selected mode and settings when motion is detected by the PIR sensor.
Viewing Captured Media
To view photos and videos:
- Switch the camera back to "TEST" mode.
- Use the navigation buttons to browse through the captured files on the display screen.
- Alternatively, remove the SD card and insert it into a computer or card reader to view files.
- Connect the camera directly to a computer using a USB cable (if supported) to access files.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and PIR sensor. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears or when performance degrades. Always replace all batteries at once with new ones of the same type.
- SD Card Management: Regularly format the SD card to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up important files before formatting.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove batteries and store the camera in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Water Resistance: Ensure all covers (battery compartment, USB port) are securely closed to maintain the camera's IP66 waterproof rating.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera not turning on. | Low or dead batteries; incorrect battery polarity; faulty batteries. | Replace with fresh, high-quality batteries, ensuring correct polarity. |
| No photos/videos captured. | SD card full or corrupted; incorrect mode setting; PIR sensitivity too low; camera not in "ON" mode. | Format or replace SD card; check mode setting; increase PIR sensitivity; ensure camera is in "ON" mode. |
| Poor image/video quality. | Dirty lens; low light conditions (without night vision); incorrect resolution setting. | Clean the lens; ensure night vision is active in low light; check resolution settings. |
| Camera records continuously or too frequently. | PIR sensitivity too high; camera facing moving objects (e.g., branches, tall grass). | Decrease PIR sensitivity; reposition camera to avoid false triggers. |
| Recording errors (as reported by users). | SD card compatibility issues; faulty SD card; firmware issue. | Try a different brand/type of SD card (Class 10 or higher recommended); format the SD card; contact support if issues persist. |
