CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY
Charge the camera for 24-48 hours before use. While charging, make sure the camera is turned off and the solar panel is facing down so it does not interfere with the USB charging process.
Plug the 12V-USB cable from the 12V port at the bottom of the camera and connect it to a USB port. Once plugged, the screen will turn on and it will show the charging battery level for 10 seconds. Press the OK button once more to see the battery level reappear.
INSERT SD CARD
Open the case of your camera (right hand side)
Insert an SD/SDHC memory card (up to 32 GB capacity) in the card slot with the label side facing upward. The card is inserted correctly when click is heard. Always ensure that the camera is OFF before inserting an SD card.
We suggest formatting your SD card if it’s been in another electronic device.

CHOOSE A POWER SOURCE
Be sure to insert the AA batteries according to the polarity indications (+) and (-).
To ensure maximum performance of the camera and prevent battery leak, we recommend the use of new batteries. Use ONLY Lithium batteries or ONLY Alkaline batteries. Rechargeable AA batteries are not recommended as the lower voltage they produce can cause operational issues.
In order to get best results and longer battery life, we recommend the use of an external 12V source.
PRO-TIPS:
Solar panel & internal rechargeable battery
- You need at least 50% of the solar panel cleared for maximum performance.
- If the power of the internal battery becomes insufficient, the camera will shut down. Once the battery has been charged sufficiently by the solar panel, the camera will automatically turn on leaving the settings untouched.
- An optional power source can be added as a backup to the internal rechargeable battery for safety.

START THE CAMERA
Turn On the camera and let it do the network search as it can take a few minutes. Once the network search is completed, you’ll see the signal strength appear. If you have no signal, move outside or get near a window and restart the camera a few times if need be to get all the information from the cell network.
Note that the signal bars on a V200 might not be equal to your other cellular devices as there are no industry standard and practice to label dBm values to a specific number of bars.
Click on Start Camera and select the desired operating mode (photo, time lapse or video) in the Mode menu by pressing OK. If you start the camera in Video mode, make sure that you have enabled the Photo First setting.
When the mode is selected, the test light in front of the camera will flash for 30 seconds to allow the user to leave the area without being photographed or recorded.
