HELP AND RESOURCES

Optimizing Motion Detection
· The camera's passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor is designed to detect heat signatures from moving objects. For optimal detection, position the camera at a slight downward angle to minimize sky visibility and avoid pointing it directly at trees or bushes.
· The camera is most effective when objects move across its field of view. Angle it to capture side-to-side movement rather than movement toward or away from the camera. This setup helps minimize false triggers and increases the likelihood of capturing important activity.
· When motion is detected, the camera automatically records a clip, which can range from 10 seconds to 1 minute depending on the duration of the activity.
· If you receive too many false alerts, try lowering the motion detection sensitivity. Keep in mind that higher sensitivity increases battery usage. You can also set up specific motion detection zones to focus on areas of interest and reduce unnecessary alerts.

HELP AND RESOURCES
Rebooting the camera
On rare occasions, it may be necessary to reboot the camera if it experiences connectivity issues. A quick reboot can often restore normal operation. To perform a reboot: 1 Open the rubber flap on the camera head. 2 Use the Reset pin tool (or paperclip) to briefly press the RST button.
This powers off the camera. 3 Press the SET button for 1 second to power the camera back on.
