2 Cautions
The working voltage of the camera is 6V The camera issupplied by the power adapter or 8 AA batteries
Please install batteries according to shown polarity Please insert the SD card before powering on the cameraThe camera has no internal memory for saving images orvideos The camera will not work if there is no SD card
Please unlock the write-protect switch before inserting theSD card
Please do not insert or take out the SD card when the powerswitch is in the ON position
Please make sure that your SIM card supports the MMS andGPRS data
When going into the SETUP mode allow approximately10-20 seconds for the camera to acquire a signal
It is recommended that you format the SD card with thecamera when used for the first time Many other SD cardsformatted by other cameras have poor compatibility withdifferent brands of cameras so it is best to format the SDcard with this camera or on a computer

2 Cautions
The working voltage of the camera is 6V The camera issupplied by the power adapter or 8 AA batteries
Please install batteries according to shown polarity Please insert the SD card before powering on the cameraThe camera has no internal memory for saving images orvideos The camera will not work if there is no SD card
Please unlock the write-protect switch before inserting theSD card
Please do not insert or take out the SD card when the powerswitch is in the ON position
Please make sure that your SIM card supports the MMS andGPRS data
When going into the SETUP mode allow approximately10-20 seconds for the camera to acquire a signal
It is recommended that you format the SD card with thecamera when used for the first time Many other SD cardsformatted by other cameras have poor compatibility withdifferent brands of cameras so it is best to format the SDcard with this camera or on a computer
In the SETUP mode the camera will shut downautomatically after 3 minutes if no operation is done Pleaseturn on the power again if you want to continue to work withthe control

Figure 5 shows Bolymediarsquos 5 kinds of detection range atdifferent detection angles This camera has a super long rangeat 60 degrees
Figure 5 PIR Detection Zone
The PIR detection angle (α) is slightly smaller than the field ofview (FOV) angle (β) The advantage of this design is to reduceempty picture rate and captures most if not all motions
Figure 6 Detection angle vs FOV angle
This camera has a new patented PIR design which offers a

2 Cautions
The working voltage of the camera is 6V The camera issupplied by the power adapter or 8 AA batteries
Please install batteries according to shown polarity Please insert the SD card before powering on the cameraThe camera has no internal memory for saving images orvideos The camera will not work if there is no SD card
Please unlock the write-protect switch before inserting theSD card

Figure 5 PIR Detection Zone
The PIR detection angle (α) is slightly smaller than the field ofview (FOV) angle (β) The advantage of this design is to reduceempty picture rate and captures most if not all motions

VideoLength
Choose duration for recording a video Rangesfrom 5 to 180 seconds
Set Clock
Set camera date and timeChange date and time by setting thisparameter when necessary (eg after everybattery change) The date format can bechanged Time format is hour minutesecondTime lapse means the camera can captureimages or videos at a preset time interval

Time Lapse
regardless of whether motions are detectedThe default parameter is Off which means thetime lapse function is disabled Changing thisparameter to a non-zero value turns on theTime Lapse mode and camera will takephotos at given time intervalNOTE if the PIR Trigger is set to Offthen Time Lapse canrsquot be set to Off
PIR Trigger
Choose sensitivity of the PIR A highersensitivity indicates that the camera is moreeasily triggered by motion and will capturepictures or records videos more often Highsensitivity is recommended for indoors or inenvironments with little interference Lowsensitivity is recommended outdoors or inenvironments with lots of interference (egwind smoke near window etc) For normaluse of the camera the Normal mode isrecommended and is the default setting
PIR Interval
This parameter indicates how long the PIR(Passive Infrared motion sensor) will bedisabled after each triggering in the ON modeDuring this time the PIR of the device will notreact to human or animal movementsThe minimum interval is 0 second Thismeans the PIR will stay on

Figure 5 PIR Detection Zone
The PIR detection angle (α) is slightly smaller than the field ofview (FOV) angle (β) The advantage of this design is to reduceempty picture rate and captures most if not all motions
