•
To change the resolution and burst number, please follow the Setting the Programmable mode & Setting the Image Resolution in PIR mode & Setting the Burst Shoot in PIR mode.
EXAMPLE: #1: If a user selected the Time Lapse Mode (TLS), and sets the Start Time to 07:00 and End Time at 20:30, then selects the Timeout to be 3 mins with a Burst mode of 3 pictures, this means that the camera will keep taking 3 pictures for every 3 minutes within the time frame of 7:00AM to 8:30PM. When not within the Time Lapse time frame, the camera will follow the normal PIR detection settings. #2: If a user selected the Time Lapse mode setting as Start Time 08:00 and End Time 18:00, then selected the Timeout to be OFF with a Burst mode of 3 pictures, this means the camera will not take the pictures within the time frame of 08:00 to 18:00. #3: If a user selected the Time Lapse mode setting as Start Time 00:00 and End Time 00:00, then selected the Timeout to be 5 minutes with a Burst mode of 3 pictures, this means the camera will keep taking 3 pictures for every 5 minutes, 24 hours a day non-stop.
Time Lapse Mode Setup Recommendations: We recommend that if you are using the Time Lapse feature and want to extend your battery life and get the most pictures possible, pls use the following settings: Batteries: Energizer Lithium Batteries Resolution: Basic (1 Star–2MP) Time Out: More than 30 seconds Facina_VKPCCTV_Instructions_Rev01

Setting up the camera in the field Once all program settings have been setup properly, your camera is ready for field use.
Getting started Listed below are some helpful suggestions on how to use your camera to get the best result. •
Mount the camera about 1.5~2M (5~6 feet) high with the camera pointed at a slightly downward angle.
•
Mount the camera facing north or south NOT east or west due to the rising and setting of the sun could produce false triggers and overexposed images.
•
If you’re covering a trail, face the camera down or up the trail. Most commercial cameras take less than one second to sense motion/heat and take a picture.
•
Clean out any brush or weeds in front of camera. This will cause false pictures caused by wind or in high temperature days.
•
Double check battery before turning on the camera for use.
•
Make sure to insert the memory card after setting up the camera.
Facina_VKPCCTV_Instructions_Rev01
