2.5 Entering Live Mode
After turning on the camera (Power switch at the ON position) while the remote control is not
connected, the camera will enter the Live mode. The indicator LED (red) will blink for about 10 s.
This period is for you to make the camera ready for the working condition: close the bottom cover and
lock it, mount the camera on a tree and walk away. After entering the Live mode, the camera will
begin to take picture or video according to the previous programmed setting when human or animal
enters monitor area.
If the device is previously in the Test mode, you just need to disconnect the remote control to let the
camera enter the Live mode.
Before entering the Live mode please pay attention to the following:
•
The polarity of the power is correct and the power is sufficient
•
The SD card has sufficient space and its write-protection is disabled
•
The Power switch is at the ON position
•
The remote control is disconnected
•
Avoiding temperature and motion disturbances in front of the device such as big leaf, curtain,
air-conditioner, air outlet of the chimney and other heat sources to prevent false trigger.
