NITEforce Outlaw 30MP 4G 4K Video Wireless Camera User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing your NITEforce Trail Camera! The NITEforce Outlaw is a high-quality digital wireless trail camera engineered for optimal and consistent performance. It captures high-quality digital pictures and video for applications such as home, cabin, and business surveillance, and animal monitoring for hunting and research. It features a highly sensitive Passive Infra-Red (PIR) motion sensor and numerous mobile APP setting options.

The camera allows users to take photos & videos and transmit them over a wireless network. The LinckEazi mobile APP enables users to view photos & videos, monitor camera status, and modify parameter settings.

Before use, install an SD card, antenna, SIM card, 12 x AA alkaline batteries, and the LinckEazi mobile APP (Android & iOS). The LinckEazi APP can be found on Google Play and the iOS Store. Each camera has a unique serial number and IMEI code, found on the product box. First-time registration requires entering both codes into the LinckEazi APP to pair the camera and APP service.

Special Handling Precautions

Handle the camera with care, avoiding drops and physical shock. The camera is designed for typical weather conditions (IP66) but is not waterproof for underwater use.

Clean debris from the camera lens, PIR sensor, and LED platform carefully, avoiding cleaning solvents. Do not attempt to open the camera case yourself.

To prevent condensation when moving the camera from cold to warm environments, place it in a sealed plastic bag first. If condensation forms, remove the SD card and batteries until the camera is dry.

Remove batteries when storing the camera to reduce the risk of battery acid leakage and drain. Battery leaks are not covered by the warranty.

When using the camera, do not mix old and new batteries. Use only high-quality AA alkaline batteries or approved external 6V-12V power sources.

Cellular Information

The camera uses an LTE 4G cellular module to transmit pictures and videos directly to your mobile phone via the LinckEazi APP. It supports 3G and 2G in areas with no 4G network. Under a 2G network, only small thumbnail pictures can be sent due to limited data upload speed; original pictures or videos are not possible.

Operator SIM card costs and payment plans are between the camera user and the operator. Remember to disable the PIN code on the SIM card before inserting it into the camera.

How the Camera Works

The camera utilizes a 4G LTE connection via the LinckEazi cloud platform. It offers a maximum 30MP resolution and 4K video with audio. The camera is compact and easy to use. Users can review photos and videos, and change settings via the LinckEazi Cloud platform.
