There are two selects of IR LED on the BG-520M series camera, 850nm and 940nm. The former provides more than 65-foot flash range whereas the latter more than 40 foot flash range. The benefit of 940nm IR LED, however, it’s emits very low-glow flash that is almost invisible from 5 feet away.

4.3) power supply and Battery Box

we recommends using eight new lithium AA (Energizer Brand) or Alkaline AA batteries. Nimh

Rechargeable batteries can also be used, but they might have a shorter life span due to their reduced efficiency over time and at low temperature. Please Note. The voltage of each battery should be 1.5V for non rechargeable Batteries or rechargeable Batteries。 As a result, the camera can extend its life in the field by being powered by a external solar panel.

4.4) Downloading the photos/Videos

To download your photos/videos to a PC. First make sure the Camera is power switch is in the

“TEST” Mode. Connect the supplied cable to the Camera’s USB port. Then connect main USB port on your computer. Then, the camera will be recognized as a standard “ USB Mass storage”

(5 meters ) Away from the place to be monitored, with the camera placed at a height of 5-6.5ft. (1.5-2M). please also keep in mind that you will get the best results at night when the subject is within the ideal flash range. No farther than 45’ (14m) and no closer than 10’ (3m) from the camera. Besides, The camera can be also mounted on a tripod

4.6) FAQ On MMS Function

Ø Why did it take so long to receive the mms pictures

Check if the signal is stable or if the battery is ran out

Ø why didn’t i receive any mms picture ?

Check if you set right mms parameters in mms setup.

Check if the camera has signal

Check if the camera is under Video mode

Ø I was pretty sure the battery was quite low, But I didn’t get any test alert. Why ?

Please make sure you didn’t install some old batteries in the battery box, if you replace the present batteries with some used ones in a point before receiving test alert, the camera will get confused and can’t send a text alert later on.

4.7) Troubleshooting/FAQ

Ø Camera stops taking images or won’t take images

1. Check the batteries to make sure that they are new Alkaline or lithium AA batteries.

Please don’t install short battery life.

2. Make sure that the camera power switch is in the “ON” position and not in the “OFF” or

“setup” modes.

3. Make sure that you are using a good quality SD card in your camera.

4. the camera will not take images if the SD card has its write protected

Ø Camera won’t power up

3. After moving the switch from “OFF” to “Test” or “On”, make sure that the switch is correctly in position to ensure the proper mode (avoid positions “between” two modes)

4. Do not move the switch directly from “On” to “Test”. Always move the switch all the way down to “Off” first, then back to “ Test”.

Ø Still photo and/or Video Quality problems

1. Night photos or Videos are too dark a. You will get the best results when the subject is within the ideal flash range, no father than 45’(14m) from the camera subject may appear too dark at greater distance b. Please note that when the capture number parameter is set higher than “1” photo”, or with very short interval settings. Some images may appear darker than others due to the quick response and rapid retriggering of the camera, allowing less time for the flash to fully recharge before firing again.

2. Daytime photos or videos appear too dark a. Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other light sources during the day, as this may cause the auto exposure to produce darker results
