3.3 Power Supply
a. Batteries
Always ensure you use a quality brand of battery. These cameras can sit in some very high temperatures and the
batteries can get quite hot. Poor quality batteries cannot handle the heat as well and are much more likely to leak
in your camera. In addition, good quality batteries give a much brighter image or video at night.
There is a big difference between brands (sometimes up to 100 times the number of images). We recommend
the following brands:
Alkaline batteries – Duracell or Energizer
NiMh rechargeable – Fujitsu or Eneloop
Lithium - Energizer
The Enduro runs on 6 or 12 AA size batteries (9-12V power supply). It can work with high quality alkaline, high-
quality NiMH rechargeable batteries, and lithium batteries. For the best night images, we suggest using NiMih
rechargeable or lithium batteries. Please also choose the correct battery type you’re using in the menu option
“
Battery Type
”.
Batteries should be inserted with correct electrode position as marked on the housing. Upside down batteries
electrodes may cause device malfunction. Also, we strongly recommend changing the batteries when power icon
on camera screen or photo stamp is empty.
Note: Please don’t mix batteries types (eg alkaline and Nimh)! Different batteries types used in the
camera may cause permanent damage which also voids the warranty!
The table below shows the approximate number of photos or videos the camera can take with 12AA alkaline
batteries. Even better performance can be achieved with rechargeable NiMH batteries or lithium batteries.

b. Solar Panel
This camera can be used with the Swift Solar Panel. The solar panel does not charge the batteries in the camera
but has its own built in battery that the panel keeps charged. Batteries can still be used in the camera at the same
time, but they will only be used by the camera if the solar panel power ceases (they are a backup). Most people
use no batteries in the camera when using the solar power option as they are not required. Because the Swift Solar
Panel has a built in battery it still has power for night images and video.
c. Power Adaptor
This camera can also be powered by an external 240V to 12V/ 2A DC adapter. If you are sourcing your own power
adapter then please ensure that it is to the correct specifications or you can permanently damage your camera.
3.4 SD Card Selection
SD cards sized from 8-32GB are recommended. Do not use cards that are larger or smaller than this (they may work
for a small number of images but then stop and deplete the camera of battery life quite quickly). Please insert the SD
card in the same direction/position as marked on the camera above the SD card slot. It will go in smoothly and easily
and click into position. If it is not going in easily then do not force it as it may be the wrong way around (the SD card
slot can be permanently damaged if it is forced in).
A memory card is required to operate the camera. When the camera is “
ON
” and no memory card is inserted, the screen
displays “
No card
”. Before inserting or removing the memory card, the camera must be turned “
OFF
”. Failing to do so
may cause loss of or damage the pictures/ videos already recorded on the memory card. When the SD card is full, the
viewing screen shows “
Memory Full
”.
The chart (top right) will show you the approximate capacity of different size SD cards. Please check to see which size
card can best fit your needs.
