3.3 Live Monitor
In the TEST mode, you can do all the settings, such as camera mode and trigger interval time. After
you switch to the Live mode, the camera starts monitor automatically.
After the camera enters into the Live mode, the motion indicator LED (red) on the front of the camera
will blink for about 10s. This time is released for you to make the camera ready for automatic
surveillance. After the indicator stops blinking, the PIR starts to work.
When human or animal appears in the range of the camera lens, the PIR can detect them and gives the
camera a signal to start to take picture(s) or video as programmed. The PIR will be deactivated for pre-
defined trigger interval time and then be reactivated after trigger interval time is over. The PIR is
sensitive to temperature. The higher temperature and larger object, the longer distance the camera can
detect. The longest distances the PIR can detect are 65ft at 32F and 20ft at 90F.
3.4 Sensible Angle and Distance Test
If you want to know whether the camera can detect a certain spot, you can test according to the
following:
1. Switch the camera to the Test mode.
2. Make movements around a certain spot in front of the camera. If the PIR indicator LED blinks,
it indicates that position can be sensed. Otherwise, that place is out of the sensing area.
