All files will be deleted after formatting the SD card. Highly
recommend you format the SD card if it has been used
previously in other devices.
Caution: make sure wanted files on
the SD card have been backed up first!
Photo Size
(affects still photos
only)
1MP, 3MP,
5MP
, 8MP,
12MP available
Select desired resolution for still photos in mega pixels.
Note
:
Lower resolution setting allows for smaller file size and faster
camera reaction speed. High resolution photos require more time
to record to memory hence slower camera reaction speed
Video Size
(affects video
clips only)
1280 x 720
720 x 480
640 x 480,
320 x 240
Select video resolution (pixels per frame). Higher resolution
produces better quality videos, but creates larger files that take
more of the SD card capacity.

Select the number of photos taken in sequence per motion event
triggering the Camera.
Video Length
(affects video clips
only)
Optional from 1s to 60s.
Default is 10s
Videos are in AVI format that can be played back on most video
Players (or on the camera).
Interval
1 Min
,
optional from
1S to 60M
A high Interval prevents the SD card from filling up with too
many redundant images when there is a lot of repeat activity i.e.
animal standing at a watering trough. A low interval reduces the
chance of missing activity but increased chance of recording too
many photos using memory and battery life.
Sense Level
(of PIR motion
sensors)
Normal
,
High,
Low
Select the sensitivity of the PIR sensor. The High setting suits
indoors and environments with little interference, while the
Normal/Low suits outdoors and environments with more
interference. Temperature also affects the sensitivity. The High
setting is suitable when the ambient temperature is warm, and
the Low setting is helpful in cold weather.
If the moving object continually enters into the area of the main sensor, the camera takes pictures immediately,
therefore catching the whole body of the game. This split-second process could be as short as 0.2 second. In the case
set up situations where the object moves within the area of the prep (side) sensors, to avoid the camera being powered
on constantly, the system is designed to work in the following way: If the game does not enter the area of the main
sensor and therefore not trigger the main sensor, the camera will power off after 3 seconds. If the trigger events
consecutively happened twice only in the PIR area of the prep (side) sensors, the camera will not activate, but only by
the main sensor. So later on when the object enters the PIR area of the main sensor eventually, since it is not in fast
movement, the picture will by all means capture the whole body of the game based on our standard 1 second response
time.
