3 1.0 Introduction The OCA Swift 3C 3G digital motion camera is an extremely versatile unit which you may find more uses for than your original intent. It is perfect for surveillance on farms, large commercial premises, illegal roadside dumping, and residential areas. Due to their exceptional speed they are also great for wildlife monitoring both recreationally and for scientific studies. They also have a time-lapse function which when combined with their long battery life, and weatherproof shell make them popular for long term time-lapse photography of construction projects. The addition of the 3G capabilities to transmit images to your phone or or via FTP to a remote website increases their abilities even more. Make yourself familiar with the functions of the camera and if you need assistance know that you can contact Outdoor Cameras Australia Mon-Fri Power Supply a. Batteries The camera runs on 8 AA size batteries (12V power supply to ensure camera performs on all functions). It can work with high quality alkaline, high-quality NiMH, and high quality Lithium rechargeable batteries. We suggest running the camera on either NiMH and Lithium batteries only as the performance with alkaline batteries is much poorer than with NiMH or Lithium batteries -especially for night time photo and video. Batteries should be inserted as indicated inside the battery case. Upside down batteries may cause a malfunction. Also, we strongly recommend changing the batteries when the power icon on the camera screen or photo stamp is empty. Note: Don t mix batteries types! Different battery types in the camera may cause permanent damage which also violates warranty policy! Due to different settings, the objects activities within camera detection zone, different brands and quality of batteries, and environment, etc. we re not able to determine the exact number of photos and videos that the camera can take. The table below only shows approximate number of photos or videos the camera can take with 8AA alkaline batteries. Better performance can be given by 8 AA rechargeable NiMH and Lithium batteries. We have found that battery brand significantly alters the number of images you can get. If you are using alkaline batteries we highly recommend Duracell or Energizer. The below table applies to the camera taking photos and video only. Not with it s 3G function turned on. 8AA Alkaline Batteries Photos shot per day Working time Video clips shot per day Working time IR LEDs 56 Max.Range 100 pics 36 days Balanced 100 pics 31 days 10secs video clips 10 clips 37 days Min. Blur 100 pics 21 days IR LEDs 25 Photo 100 pics 89 days 10secs video clips 10 clips 179 days The camera will use more battery life in 3G mode because it is then sending the image after taking it. The better the 3G reception in the area the less battery life the camera will use. If the camera is struggling for reception it will use a lot more battery life because it is taking a lot longer to send the image. b. Solar Panel Our engineers have designed this camera to function with most standard 12V/1~2A built in lithium battery solar panels. However, as rechargeable AA NiMH batteries need a higher voltage for charging, the solar panel cannot charge the batteries in the camera. Outdoor Cameras Australia have designed a solar panel and battery set up to work with the unit. Just ask us for more information. c. Power Adaptor Security Surveillance Purpose This camera can also be powered by an external 12V/ 1~2A DC adapter. Remove the AA batteries when the power adapter is used. 1.2 SD Card Selection A memory card is required to operate the camera. When the camera is ON and no memory card is used, the screen displays Pls insert memory card. The SD slot of the camera has a 32 GB memory capacity. Before inserting or removing the memory card, the camera must be turned OFF. Failing to do so may cause loss of or damage of the pictures already recorded from the memory card. When the SD card is full, the viewing screen indicates Memory Full. SD cards must not have files or folders from other devices on them. This can stop the camera from recording data onto the card and then flatten the batteries. The following data shows an approximate quantity of photos which can be recorded by the camera depending on the memory card capacity. The Chart below will show you the approximate capacity of different size SD cards. Please check to see which size card can fit your needs best. 4 5

Insert the SD memory card correctly. The camera must be turned off to have the SD card inserted or removed. 2. Please use high-quality AA batteries to prevent battery leaks. Remove batteries when the camera is not in use. Battery leaks are not covered under Warranty. Do not put batteries in the wrong way around.as it can damage the camera. 3. Ensure you use the correct adaptor (12V/1A or 2A )if you use a power supply. 4. In Test mode, the camera will automatically enter PIR Auto mode if there are no buttons pressed within 60 sec. Please manually turn ON as if you want to do further configuration. 5. Don t interrupt the power supply during system upgrade, please return it back to Outdoor Cameras Australia if the device doesn t work after upgrading. 6. Do not frequently insert or pull out SD card and battery or plug in and out the adaptor when the camera is on. 7. Do not have any floating objects, such as leaves, grass, strings, or ribbons in the motion detection zone of cameras. 8. Do not keep camera next to hot irrelevant objects, air conditioner exhaust vents, and light, etc. to avoid mistaking photos or videos. 9. The wide angle camera model has a 90 FOV lens which means more flash is needed to get better night time images than the average 52 FOV lens; that s why the 56pcs 60 IR LEDs are used on this camera. To ensure these 56pcs IR LEDs can give enough flash for the wide angle lens - high quality AA batteries must be used to deliver enough amperage to power the illuminator consistently in dark environments. 10. Programmed Date/Time can be saved in the camera for 12 hours without batteries. 1.5 Key Features seconds trigger speed; 2. Wide lens model: 92 degree FOV lens; 110 degree PIR angle; 3.

Ensure the subject is within 15m of the camera. Smaller animals need to be closer. 2. Try to set your camera up in an area where no heat resources are operating in the camera s field of view (generators, etc). 3. In some cases, if the camera is set near water it may take images with no subject in them. Try to aim the camera over ground. 4. Try to set camera on stable and immovable objects, i.e.: large trees or posts. If the tree has the slightest movement it will trigger the camera. 5. At night, motion detector may detect beyond range of the IR illumination. Reduce distance setting by adjusting sensor sensitivity. 6. Remove any limbs or grass which are in front of the camera and could set off the motion sensor (this is most likely to occur during the heat of the day). 7. Rising sun or sunset can trigger sensor. Camera must be reoriented. 8. If person/animal/vehicle moves quickly, it may move out of the camera s field of view before the photo is taken. Move camera further back or redirect camera. For capturing vehicles the camera works best facing the back of the vehicle as it drives away from the camera. 9. Ensure that the motion sensor is not inadvertently covered. 10. Ensure your camera is targeted well capturing the target moving across the middle of the image frame for best results. 7.2 Camera Stops Taking Images or Won t Take Images 1. Please make sure that the SD card is not full. If the card is full, the camera will stop taking images. You can turn on the Cycle Recording to avoid such problems. 2. Check batteries to make sure that alkaline, NiMH or lithium AA batteries are well powered. It is always a good idea to try another set of new batteries. 3. Make sure that the camera power switch is in the On position and not in the Off or Test modes. 4. Please format the SD card with camera before using or when camera stops taking images. It is also a good idea to try another SD card 5. When 3G function is on, there will be around 1 minute interval for camera to send out photo before camera shooting the next photo. Turn off the GPRS, camera can shoot photos continuously. 25

14 7.3 Night Vision Flash Range Doesn t Meet Expectation 1. 4 AA batteries are not able to support camera night vision ability; please install 8 AA batteries; 2. Please check to make sure that batteries are fully charged or well powered; 3. Max Range offers better IR flash range. Given IR flash range values are based on Max Range setting; so please adjust Night Mode to Max Range for better night vision flash range; 4. High-quality 1.5V NiMH or Lithium rechargeable AA batteries can also offer much better IR flash range; alkaline batteries cannot deliver enough amperage to power the illuminator consistently at night; 5. To ensure accuracy and quality of night time image, please mount the camera in a dark environment without any obvious light sources (eg vehicle lights); 6. Surroundings (like trees, walls, ground, etc.) within flash range can get you better night time images; please do not aim camera to an open field where there is nothing within IR flash range to reflect flash back; it s like shinning a torch into the night sky, you can t see anything. 8.0 Warranty Based on a strict Quality Control system, we are happy to offer our customers a two year warranty.

If the camera is taking images and it appears nothing is setting it off it is usually due to vegetation in front of the camera blowing in the wind or what the camera is attached to is moving. 2. This can occur if the camera is low to the ground and there are hot conditions. (You will notice more images during the heat of the day). Try elevating the camera more. 7.5 Sent images are not being received 1. Check sim card has credit. 2. If you are sending MMS messages ensure that the sim card is not a data card as data cards cannot send MMS. Data cards can send Check that the camera is picking up mobile reception in the main screen. It will bring up the bars in the top left of the screen. This information will still be displayed even if the sim card has no credit. If the camera is not picking up any bars or only 1 or 2 it might be having trouble with reception. Try and test the camera in an area with good reception.
