STEP ONE: WHAT SHOULD I PREPARE BEFORE USING?

Preparation before Using

1. The SD card, the batteries and the external power supply are not included in the package, you need to prepare these things beforehand.

2. Tips and Recommendation:

1. For optimal performance, we recommend using a full set of eight rechargeable batteries of high-quality to maintain maximum battery life. The recommended brands of batteries are Energizer® or Duracell® branded batteries.
2. External power supply output: 6V/2A; DC-IN plug size: 3.5 mm*1.35 mm/1.3 mm.
3. Our cameras can support class 6 or faster SD card ranging from 4GB to 128GB. The recommended brands of SD cards are Sandisk® or Kingston® branded card. Please do not use the SD card which is adopted by the TF(micro SD) card. This might cause the file lost issue.

Install the Batteries

1. Press the button at the bottom of the display screen, the battery compartment will pop out, and then pull it out firmly.

2. When the camera uses only four batteries, please install the batteries in the correct position. As shown below.

STEP TWO: HOW DO I SET IT?

1. Slide the Switch Button to the SETUP position. The camera enters test mode. The screen will light up.

2. Short press the MODE/ESC Button once. You can view the pictures and videos taken by the camera.

3. Short press the MODE/ESC Button twice and enter the setting interface. Here, you could press the UP and DOWN arrow to change the option, then press the OK button to confirm selection or press the MODE/ESC button to return to the last interface. (Under the TEST mode, you could also press the OK button to take photos or videos manually.)

How To Reset the Camera and Format the SD Card?

1. Slide switch to SETUP.

2. Short press MODE/ESC Button twice.

3. Select 'Default Setting' to return menu setting to defaults.

4. Select 'Format SD card' and press YES to format the SD card.

Menu Setting List:

• Mode: The camera will only take photos under Photo mode, only take videos under Video mode, and the photo first and then the video under the Photo+Video mode. The camera default setting is Photo.
• Image Size: The maximum value is 30MP and the default value is 5MP. Higher resolution provides clearer images, but creates larger files that takes up more of the SD card capacity.
• Picture No: The maximum value is 10 Photos and the default value is 1 Photo. Choose 1 photo for one shot; choose 2 photos in series for two shots; choose 3 photos in series for three shots.
• Caution: Due to the limitation of the camera's read and write functions, if you need to make continuous shooting, you could try to reduce the resolution of the photo before setting it.
• Resolution: The maximum value is 1296P and default value is 1080P. Higher resolutions produce better quality videos, but create larger files that take up more of the SD card capacity.
• Video Length: The maximum value is 3 Min and the default value is 10 Sec. To conserve battery power, the video length should no longer than 10s at night.
• Caution: 1. In night automatic (ON) mode, recording stops early if battery is low. 2. To prolong battery life, set a shorter recording time. 3. Low battery may result in recording time being lower than the set value. Replace battery in time.
• Record Audio: The default setting is ‘on'. Choose whether to enable this function according to your needs.
• PIR Interval: The default choice of the interval is 30 Sec. If you choose the 30s interval, the PIR sensor will detect motion twice in one minute. Choose a shorter interval for more frequent motion detection.
• Caution: This function greatly influences battery life. Shorter interval means higher frequency capture but more power consumption; longer interval means lower frequency capture but less power consumption.
• PIR Sensitivity: The default setting is Medium. Adjust as needed to capture very small or larger animal movements.
• Time Lapse: Functions as a time lapse camera, useful for observing activity in a given area over time (e.g., cold-blooded animals, plants). Default is OFF.
• Q: What's the difference between the Interval and the Time Lapse?
  A: Interval: PIR sensor works and records motion. If you choose a 30s interval, the PIR sensor detects motion twice per minute. The camera records if motion is detected; otherwise, it does not.
  A: Time Lapse: PIR sensor is inactive; triggered by a built-in timer. The camera takes photos at the set interval time. For example, at 30s interval, it records twice per minute regardless of motion.
• IR LED: Sets the brightness of the IR LED light (auto, economy, off). Default is Auto.
• Low Bat Night Shot: When the battery is low, choose not to turn on the infrared light to continue taking pictures or stop night shooting. Default is No IR Led. (When battery power is lower than 30%, night shooting stops or reduces; update battery in time).
• Monitoring Period: Default is OFF. Select ON and set the timer for the camera to be active for a predetermined period and standby for others. For example, to record daylight activity from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, set the timer from 6:00 to 18:00. Press OK to save settings.
• Language: Default setting is English. Choose your preferred language.
• Default Setting: Returns camera to factory default selections. Useful for new users or if the camera is not working well.
• Format: Formats your SD card. Selecting YES will format the card and delete all files.
• Date Stamp: Choose to turn on or off the date tag. If off, photos or videos will not have a date stamp.

Mode: Photo + Video, Photo NO: 1 photo, Resolution: 1296P, Record Audio: on, PIR Sensitivity: High, IR LED: Auto, Side PIR Setup: ON, Image size: 20MP, Shutter speed: 1/30, Video length: 10sec, PIR Interval: 5sec, Time lapse: off, Monitoring Period: off.

STEP THREEE: HOW SHOULD I MOUNT IT?

Mounting the Camera

There are two ways to mount the Victure trail camera: using the provided adjustable web belt, or the tripod socket.

1. Using the Adjustable Web Belt

Push one end of the belt through the brackets on the back of the camera. Thread the end of the strap through the buckle. Fasten the belt securely around the tree trunk by pulling the end of the strap firmly so there is no slack left.

Diagram illustrates threading an adjustable web belt through camera brackets and a buckle, and then securing it around a tree trunk.

2. Using the Tripod Socket

The camera is equipped with a socket at the bottom to enable mounting on a tripod.

Images show the Victure trail camera mounted on a tripod.

How to make the camera more accurately capture animals?

The shooting range of this product is a 120° fan-shaped area right in front of the camera. The best imaging distance is 3-10 meters in front of the camera.

In order to achieve the desired detection of shooting, please place the camera following below instructions:

1. Please attach the product to a suitable place. The installation height should be higher than the height of the detected animal. Please make sure that the lens is level or slightly tilted downward angle and ensure there are no reflective objects within the shooting range, such as smooth rocks.
2. Slide the switch button to the SETUP position.
3. Determine the shooting range (please turn off the ‘Auto Power Off’ setting). Make a horizontal walk (not a vertical walk) in front of the PIR sensor window of the product. When the indicator light flashes once, it indicates that the PIR has sensed successfully. At this moment, the area you are in is the valid detection area. Keep doing this test repeatedly to map the effective detection area of the PIR sensor. When walking test far away from the PIR sensor window, please speed up the pace.

Diagram illustrates the 120° fan-shaped detection area at 3-10 meters. Another diagram shows a person walking horizontally to test the PIR sensor's detection range.

STEP FOUR: SWITCHING ON THE CAMERA

After placing the camera properly, please make sure that the power switch is in the ON position (Do not leave it in the SETUP position).

Once you switch the power switch to the ON position, the motion indicator light will blink for 5 seconds. This means the camera will enter the working state after 5 seconds. Please close and lock the front cover of the camera and then walk away.

Image shows the camera's screen displaying "AUTO RECORD READY" with indicator lights.

After it stops blinking, the PIR sensor is active, and the camera will be in working condition. Please note, the PIR sensor is strongly sensitive to ambient temperature. The greater the temperature difference between the environment and your subject, the farther the possible sensing distance.

STEP FIVE: HOW CAN I REVIEW THE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS?

Review the Files Directly on the Camera

Slide the switch button to SETUP position, press the MODE/ESC Button to enter the Replay interface. You can view the pictures and videos taken by the camera.

In Replay mode, you could:

• Press the MODE/ESC button: page forward;
• Press the MODE/ESC button: page backward;
• Long press the OK button: delete the current file.

If you are reviewing the videos, you could also:

• Press the OK button: play/pause the video;
• Press the MODE/ESC button: stop playing the video.

Review the Files on the Computer

1. The way to review the images on your SD card is to review the images on your computer with a card reader. The pictures can be viewed on both PC and Mac computers. Here are the steps:
   1. Insert the SD card into your computer via a card reader.
   2. After the SD card is inserted into your computer, navigate to START/COMPUTER.
   3. Look for the SD card icon. Double click on the SD card icon. A folder named DCIM will appear.
   4. Double click the DCIM folder. A new folder will appear. Your images are in this folder.
2. You can also connect the camera to your computer via the USB cable included. In this case, please turn off your camera and take out all of the batteries. The screen will display 'MSDC' promptly, which means the computer has been connected successfully. Then you could follow the instruction above to locate your picture files.

Review the Files on your phone or iPad via connect camera's Wifi

When it's inconvenient to take off the camera, you can use your phone to connect to the WIFI signal sent by the trail camera (with 'Hunting Camera Pro' APP).
