Setup

1. Power Source Installation

The FORCE-PRO camera is equipped with an integrated solar panel for charging its internal battery. For initial setup or extended use without sufficient sunlight, an external power source can be used.

1. Internal Battery: Ensure the camera's internal battery is charged. The integrated solar panel will charge it during daylight hours.
2. External Power (Optional): If using an external 12V power source (not included), connect it to the camera's 12V jack.

2. MicroSD Card Insertion

A MicroSD card is required to store photos and videos. Two 32GB MicroSD cards are included in this bundle.

1. Locate the MicroSD card slot on the camera.
2. Insert the MicroSD card with the gold contacts facing the back of the camera until it clicks into place.
3. To remove, press the card gently until it springs out.

3. Initial Power On and Basic Configuration

1. Turn the camera ON using the power switch.
2. Follow the on-screen prompts (if available) or refer to the camera's menu for initial settings such as date, time, and language.
3. Format the MicroSD card through the camera's menu for optimal performance.

4. Mounting the Camera

The camera can be mounted using a strap, tripod, or other compatible mounting accessories. While specifications mention 'Tabletop Mount', for outdoor use, secure mounting is crucial.

• Choose a location that provides a clear view of the desired monitoring area.
• Ensure the camera is securely fastened to prevent movement from wind or animals.
• Position the camera to avoid direct sunlight into the lens, which can cause overexposure.
