according to the set interval.

On
. The two side prep PIR sensors provide
wider sensing angle and detect more potential triggers. In some
situations, you only want to monitor a narrow spot. Too many
irrelevant triggers by the side sensors outside of that spot will
keep the camera on and off, which drains the battery power
rapidly. Or in some other situations you have difficulty
removing the interfering branches, or avoiding the sunlight. If
so, you have the option to turn off the side sensors.
Audio

The default setting is On, when it is on, the camera can record
audio to video, otherwise ,the video will be silent.

mode, you can use the provided USB cable to download the files to a computer. Or you can put the SD
