5. Insert 4 AA batteries following the polarity
markings (+ -) inside the camera.
6. Insert any standard USB Flash Drive into the
GardenWatchCam in the open slot between 
the batteries.
***(Please note that the maximum size 
USB Flash Drive that the GardenWatchCam 
supports is a 8GB USB Flash Drive. If you 
use a USB Flash Drive with a larger 
memory density the camera will not 
function properly.)

Cam. (Make sure to push down the latch until
you hear it “click” to ensure the door is closed
properly.)
Mounting your GardenWatchCam 
(2 options)
8. a- To set your GardenWatchCam on the
mounting stake, screw the mounting 
stake clockwise into the hole on the 
bottom of the camera. (See Images above)
OR
b- To set your GardenWatchCam on any
standard tripod, screw the tripod clockwise 
into the hole on the bottom of the camera.
Choosing your Lens setting
9. The GardenWatchCam has two lens positions
that determine the focal distance and the 
depth of field of the camera : 
a- Standard Setting :This option is
obtained by turning the lens bezel to the 
“mountain” icon position. This will give a 
depth of field that extends from approximately 
1 meter (2.6 feet) and beyond, and is best for 
getting shots of an entire garden or large area.
OR
b- Macro Setting :This option is obtained
by turning the lens bezel to the “flower” icon 
position. This setting allows the camera to 
focus on an object that is approximately 0.5 
Meters (19 inches) away from the camera. 
Because the depth of field is significantly 
reduced when using Macro setting, subjects 
in the background will be out of focus. 
This setting is best for following the growth 
of a single bloom, or any other subject that 
requires close-up observation.
