AUTO CAMERA SENSITIVITY (PIR Sensing)
This camera is equipped with auto-adjusting Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensor. There is no need to
worry about adjusting any settings for different climates or situations
CAMERA FEATURES & OPTIONS
THE OFF, ON, AND SETUP MODE
The
Proof Cam
has three basic operational modes:
•
OFF
mode: Power switch in the
OFF
position.
•
ON
mode: Power switch in the
ON
position (LCD screen is off.)
•
SETUP
mode: Power switch at the
SETUP
position (LCD screen is on.)
OFF MODE
The
OFF
mode is the safe mode when any action must be taken, e.g., replacing the SD card or batteries, or
transporting the device. You will also use
OFF
mode if you connect the camera to the computer’s USB port later
to download your photos/videos. And of course, when you are storing or not using the camera, you will switch it
OFF
. Please note that even in
OFF
mode the Proof Camera still consumes power at a very low level. Therefore,
it’s a good idea to take the batteries out of the battery compartment if the camera will not be used for a long time.
ON MODE
Anytime after the batteries and SD card have been inserted, you can switch on the camera. When the power switch
is moved to the top position, the camera will enter into the
ON
(Live) mode. The motion indicator LED will blink red
for about 15 seconds. This interval allows time for you to close the Proof Cam’s front cover, lock it, and leave the
monitored area. Once in the
ON
mode, no manual controls are needed. The Proof Cam will take photos or videos
automatically (according to its current slide switch settings) when it is triggered by the PIR sensor’s detection of
activity in the area it covers. You can either move the power switch directly from
OFF
to
ON
mode, or stop at the
SETUP
position first to change one or more settings, then move the switch to
ON
after you have finished doing so.
SETUP MODE
In the
SETUP
mode you can check and change the slide switch settings. Moving the power switch to the
SETUP
position will turn on the LCD display, and you will see an information screen that shows how many images have
been taken, and the battery level.
NOTE: Always move the power switch from OFF to SETUP mode. It is possible that the camera could lock up if it is
switched from ON to SETUP mode. If this occurs, simply move the switch to OFF and then push it over to SETUP again.
