Livestock Trail Camera

The camera need an above class 6 fast speed SD micro card (C6 Class however a C10 standard micro SD card will be better).



We suggest utilising micro-sized SD cards. Do not use standard card as it won’t fit the camera.



Note: Max is 32G micro SD card you cannot use greater than 32GB SD micro card.

Some reasons that this could be happening:

1. By the end of a day's use, the battery within the solar panel is depleted, leading to insufficient power to activate the infrared light.
If you are using the solar panel on its own, you must use 4 alkaline batteries in the camera, as the solar panel output is either 6V output or 0V. The solar panel has no other voltage output, nor will it say if it is on a low voltage. Therefore, it is recommended that customers use alkaline batteries at the same time when using the solar panels, to prevent the trail camera from not working due to insufficient power. The inside of the solar panel contains a 1700MAH battery. If it is used while charging, it will run out of electricity when it is used throughout the day (the maximum charging current is 300MA when the sun is strongest, and it is roughly 250MA when recording).

2. The memory card that you are using must be a high-speed card above C6 and must be formatted in the camera.

3. The camera will work when you have the button switched to the ‘on’ position, but it will not work when you have the button in the ‘test’ mode.

4. Try increasing the sensitivity setting on your camera. Under the sensitivity motion sensors option set it to ‘high’.

The camera will automatically overwrite the earliest data when the SD card is full.

1.2V rechargeable batteries or 1.5V carbon-zinc batteries cannot be used as the voltage or load current cannot be reached. This may stop the infrared lamp from working and it cannot take pictures. There will be a battery voltage detection of the infrared lamp when starting up.

The IR distance is too long for the trail camera so the video of the animal will be unclear.

If there is plantation or crop movement due to the wind and the temperature is very high i.e. 44 degrees Celsius, the wind blows hot air in front of the PIR which causes the camera to film.

Yes, you can. There are 3 work modes in TEST mode. You can set the video & photo mode in TEST gear. When the camera is in work mode (ON gear), it will take both photos and videos at the same time.

There are two ways this can be done:

1. When in TEST mode, press the UP key. You will be in video mode, press the DOWN key for photo mode. You can observe the logo in the upper left corner.

2. When in work mode (ON gear), it will be what mode you set in the TEST mode menu.

When you switch to ON gear, the camera will begin to work after the red light flashes for 15 seconds.
When you switch to TEST or ON gear, the camera will automatically Check the IR LED battery, so the IR LEDS will flash and then the blue and green light will flash.
The blue and green light will also flash in TEST mode. When the main PIR is sensing, the green light will flash and when the side PIR is sensing, the blue lights will flash. The Pet & livestock HQ trail camera has 3 PIR sensors, one main PIR, two side PIR.
These two lights are only for TEST mode, it will not flash in work mode (ON gear).

1. TL Video: The camera will video automatically as per the time interval set by you.

2. Trigger Delay: The delay setting is a feature that a trail camera uses to determine how long the camera will be inactive after taking a series of photos or a video.

3. Target Recording Time: You can set the camera to take specific photos or videos at a specific time of the day or the night.

4. Time Lapse: Timelapse mode is a mode of operation in which the trail camera will take a picture based on an interval of time. It will take this picture regardless of if there is anything in front of the camera or not.

5. Endless Capture: Also called loop recording; when the SD card is full, the camera will keep recording and the latest picture/video files will overwrite the oldest file on SD card. This feature can be set to be OFF.

1. First, install the battery in the camera.
2. Then, insert the SD card to the camera.
3. Put the operation mode selector switch to ‘SETUP’ position.
4. Press the MENU button, choose the ‘interval’ and set ‘30 seconds’.
5. Choose the ‘timer’ and ‘time lapse’ and set to ‘off’.
6. Put the operation mode selector switch to ‘ON’ position. After this, when there is movement, the camera will take pictures.

The sensing distance is affected by the ambient temperature and the surface of the sensor. The higher the ambient temperature is, the shorter the sensing distance is (the standard is 20 meters at 25 degrees Celsius).
The protective film or scratches on the surface of the sensor can also affect the induction distance. Please make certain that the protective film on the sensor has been removed.
