x Press the key to set the camera to take still pictures.

x 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.

x Press the REPLAY key to review/playback photos/videos on the

LCD screen, or a connected TV monitor. Use and key to

navigate.

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

distance. To perform the test:

x First strap the camera on a tree aiming the region of interest (ROI).

x Walk slowly from one side of the ROI to the other parallel to the

camera. Try different distances and angles from the camera.

x If the Motion Indicator flashes blue, it indicates the position from

where you are detected by one of the side Prep PIR sensors. If the

Motion Indicator flashes red, it indicates the position from where you

are captured by the main PIR sensor.

By doing this test, you can find the best placement when mounting and

aiming the Ltl Acorn 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.

2.5 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 game or other objects enter the PIR area of the main sensor directly. If

the game enters the PIR area of the prep sensors from the side, the prep

sensors detect the movement and activate the camera. While the game

keeps moving into the PIR area of the main sensor, the camera takes

photos/videos immediately. If the game roams away after entering the PIR
