Camera Operation

Once your camera has been setup, you are ready to begin using it to capture photos of activity in the area you choose to locate it. Just follow these steps:

1. Mount the Camera

It is recommended that you mount the camera about 4 or 5 feet (1.2~1.5 meters) off the ground, with the camera pointed at a slight downward angle. It’s best to avoid mounting the camera facing east or west as the rising and setting of the sun could produce false triggers and overexposed images. Clear branches and other debris away from the front of the camera so as not to block the camera lens or PIR sensor.

Make sure that both door latches are securely locked in place, to ensure proper weather resistance.

2. Power On the Camera

The camera will be in “sleep” status after it has been powered on. When the PIR sensor is triggered, it will start to take photos immediately after the delay time (as set) has passed.

3. Test the Coverage Area

One of the 119200W Surveillance Camera’s most useful features is the ability to test the coverage area.

After mounting the camera, open the front housing and slide the Power switch to the “ON” position. Press the SETUP button if necessary to enter the Setup Menu.

The PIR indicator light below the lens will blink when you have entered the coverage area.

Adjust the camera position as needed and repeat the test until the desired coverage area is achieved.
