CAMERA OPERATION
Once your camera has been setup, you are ready to begin using it to
capture photos of activity in the area you choose to locate it. Just follow
these steps:
1. Mount the Camera
It is recommended that you mount the camera about 4 or 5 feet (1.2~1.5
meters) off the ground, with the camera pointed at a slight downward
angle. It’s best to avoid mounting the camera facing east or west as the
rising and setting of the sun could produce false triggers and overexposed
images. Clear branches and other debris away from the front of the
camera so as not to block the camera lens or PIR sensor.
Make sure that both door latches are securely locked in place, to ensure
proper weather resistance.
2. Power On the Camera
The camera will be in “sleep” status after it has been powered on. When
the PIR sensor is triggered, it will start to take photos immediately after
the delay time (as set) has passed.
When you’ve finished using the Setup Menu, and are ready to return the
camera to normal operating mode, so it will begin to capture photos or
videos for you, simply press the
SETUP
button. After you exit the Setup
Menu, the display will go blank and the camera is in “sleep” mode. After a
short delay period, the camera will begin taking photos or videos when
triggered, at intervals determined by the trigger delay time setting.
