2.3 Enter Test mode

Switch to the TEST position to enter the Test mode. In this mode you can take pictures or video clips like a regular
digital camera, or enter the Menu to set up parameters. On the keypad there are four "shortcut" functional keys (see
Figure 2-1) working as below:

Press the SHOT key to manually trigger the shutter. A photo or video (depending on the camera setting)
will be taken and saved to the SD card. If the display shows "CARD PROTECTED" when you press the
SHOT key, switch the power OFF, remove the SD card and slide its write-protect switch to off.

There is another key, MENU, on the keypad that allows you to program the camera to work the way you want. Please
make reference to 3.1 Parameter Settings in the Advanced Operation section.
Under the test mode, one useful function you would like is testing the work area of the PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor,
specifically the sensing angle and monitoring distance. To perform the test:

First strap the camera on a tree aiming the region of interest (ROI).

Walk slowly from one side of the ROI to the other parallel to the camera. Try different distances and angles
from the camera.

If the Motion Indicator flashes blue, it indicates the position from where you were detected by one of the
side Prep PIR sensors. If the Motion Indicator flashes red, it indicates the position from where you were
captured by the main PIR sensor.
By doing this test, you can find the best placement when mounting and aiming the Our scouting camera. In general,
you are recommended to place the camera 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) above the ground.
To avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances, please do not aim the camera at a heat
source (i.e. the sun) or nearby tree branches and limbs. The ideal direction to aim at is North or South. Also, remove
any limbs close to the front of the camera.

2.4 Enter Live Mode

Switch to the ON position to enter the live mode. The Motion Indicator will flash red for about 10 seconds and the
camera starts working by itself without any manual handling. It will at once shoot pictures or record videos when
objects enter the PIR area of the main sensor directly. If the object enters the PIR area of the prep sensors from the
side, the prep sensors detect the movement and activate the camera. While the object keeps moving into the PIR area
of the main sensor, the camera takes photos/videos immediately. If the object roams away after entering the PIR area
of the prep sensors, the camera will power off and enter standby mode.
ADVANTAGES OF PREP SENSORS
In general, to save battery power, an Infer-Red camera is in "sleep" mode, with only the PIR sensor working. When
motion is detected by the PIR sensor, the camera is powered on and starts shooting pictures. The time period from
being activated to starting firing is the response time. The response time varies among different camera's generally
from 0.85 to 2 plus seconds. The SECURE01 has 1 second trigger time. However, when an object passes across very
quickly, the picture may only capture the rear part of the body, and possibly nothing at all. With the unique side prep
PIR sensors design, the SECURE01 camera solves this issue. The combination of the two side prep sensors and the
main sensor comes up with a 100 to 120° angle of induction, a very wide scope far outweighing the 50 ° angle of the
camera lens. When a moving object first crosses the sensing area of the prep sensor, the camera is activated and ready
to shoot after 1 second.
