3.2 Connection of an External Power 

Optionally you can connect an external 6V DC power source to the 

DLC COVERT II

. 

It  is  recommended  to  use  a  power  source  with  a  current  capability  greater  than 
1000mA.  However,  under  sufficient  daylight  the 

DLC COVERT II

  can  work  with  much 

less  current  (>400mA).  Please  use  the  power  source  cable  (Optional)  to  connect  the 
external  DC  power  source  and  insert  it  into  the  power  jack  of  the 

DLC COVERT II

, 

be 

sure that the polarity is correct. 

If both external power source and batteries are connected, the 

DLC COVERT II

 will be 

powered by the external power source. 

When the batteries are low the low-battery indication (blue LED) will be lighted. 

Please change the batteries at this time.     
 

3.3 Inserting the SD-card 

Next  please  insert  a  SD-card  into  the  card  slot.  Please  refer  to  1.4  for  detailed 

instructions. 
 

3.4 Powering on and Entering into the LIVE Mode 

Now you can switch on the power after inserting the SD card. The 

DLC COVERT II

 

has three basic operation modes:   

a.

 

OFF mode: Power switch at OFF position. 

b.

 

LIVE mode: Power switch at ON position and the remote control keypad is NOT connected. 

c.

 

SETUP mode: Power switch at ON position and the remote control keypad is connected

. 

 

In  the  above  three  modes  the  OFF  mode  is  the  specified  safe  mode  when  any 

actions  must  be  taken,  e.g.,  replacing  the  SD  card  or  batteries,  or  transporting  the 
device. 

 

 

Entering into the LIVE mode

: After turning on the 

DLC COVERT II

 (power switch 

at ON position) it will enter into the LIVE mode. The motion indication LED (red) 
will  blink  for  about  10s.  This  time  interval  is  for  you  to  make  the 

DLC COVERT II

 

ready  for  operation,  e.g.,  to  close  the  front  cover,  to  lock  it  and  to  walk  away. 
After  entering  into  the  LIVE  mode,  no  manual  controls  are  needed.  The 

DLC 

COVERT II

 will take pictures or videos automatically according to the programmed 

settings, when motion is detected into the monitoring region. 

If the device is previously in the Setup mode, you just need to disconnect the 

remote  control  keypad  from  the  camera  in  order  to  let  the  camera  enter  into  the 
LIVE mode.
