Camera Setup (continued)

Again use the UP/DOWN buttons to change the day if necessary and press OK.

To set the time, use UP/DOWN to set the hour and minute. The time display uses the 24 hr standard, so 2:00 PM is indicated as “1400”, etc.

Note: The Date & Time setting will normally be retained for a few minutes when the batteries are removed from the camera. However, you may need to reset the Date & Time after replacing the batteries, if they have been removed for a longer period of time.

2. Setting Camera/Video Mode and Resolution

This item allows you to select whether the camera takes still photos (and select high or low resolution), or shoots video clips when the PIR is triggered (Photo or Video Mode).

After the date and time have been set, press OK. You will see the camera icon and the word “Lo” will blink.

By pressing UP/DOWN, the camera will cycle between Lo resolution still photo, Hi resolution still photo, and movie (video) modes. Choose the mode that you want and press OK.

The “Lo” setting will allow you to take lower resolution (1.3MP) images and therefore accumulate more images on your card while the “HI” setting will give you high resolution (3.0MP via software interpolation) images of better quality but fewer images can be stored to the card.

In Movie mode a 14 second AVI file will be recorded to the SD Card each time the camera is triggered. The movie length is preset and cannot be changed. There are no additional settings or options for Video Mode.

3. Formatting SD Cards

Pressing OK again after the resolution options will go to the Format screen next. Formatting is recommended before you re-use an old SD card, and is a quick way to erase all of the photos/videos after
