4 Advanced Operations
From the basic operations of the camera previewed in the previous chapter, we know that
the camera has three basic operation modes:
1.
OFF
mo
de: Power switch is in the
OFF
position.
2.
ON
mode: Power switch is in the
ON
position.
3.
TEST
mode: Power switch is in the
TEST
position.
In the above three modes, the
OFF
mode is the specified safe mode
when replacing the SD-card or batteries and transporting the camera.
This chapter explains the advanced operations for customizing the
camera settings. The settings can only be customized in
TEST
mode and the wireless remote is
needed.
4.1 Settings Menu
To view the camera settings menu, press
MENU
in the
TEST
mode (called settings menu in
this chapter). The settings menu will be shown on the LCD on camera or the external TV
monitor. There are seventeen items of menu settings:
Setting Items
Description
Camera Mode
Choose capturing images or recording videos.
Format
Format the SD-card. All images and videos in the SD-card will be
deleted.
Photo Size
Choose the image size, e.g. 8 mega pixels or 5 mega pixels.
Video Size
Choose the video size, e.g. 640
×
480 (VGA).
Set Clock
Set camera date and time.
Photo Burst
Choose the continuous shooting numbers after each triggering.
Video Length
Choose duration of recording video.
Video Sound
Choose if the sound recorder will be used.
Interval
Choose how long the camera will stop functioning after each
triggering.
The camera’s PIR will be disabled during this interval.
Sense Level
Choose sensitivity of the PIR. The camera PIR is strongly related
to the temperature. On high, the camera will trigger more easily.
Therefore we recommend the
High
setting for temperatures
exceeding 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Use the
Low
setting for
temperatures below 35 degrees Fahrenheit to reduce false
triggers. For normal use of the camera, the
Normal
mode is
recommended and is the default setting.
Timer
The camera can be set to only record/capture at a certain time of
the day when set to
On
. The rest of the time the camera will be
shut off and will not record any triggers set off by movement. This
function can be set to
Off
and will function to the interval settings.
Flash Range
Infrared Flash range: .20 ft./6m and 40 ft./12m
MMS Set
The camera sends MMS message through GPRS network, so
before using this function, you need to open GPRS service from
your service provider. It supports four bands
：
850MHz, 900MHz,
1800MHz and 1900MHz.
