Thisparameter is effective and can beadjusted only when the device in thevideo mode under ON mode. Its valueextends from 5 to 60 seconds with a stepof one second. The default value is 10seconds. Press LEFT and RIGHT todecrease or increase the value by 1second.TimeLapseTime lapse means the camera cancapture images or videos at a preset timeinterval regardless of whether motionsare detected. The default parameter isOff, which means the timer function isdisabled. Changing this parameter to anon-zero value turns on the Time Lapsemode, and camera will take photos atgiven time interval.Please note that if the PIR Trigger is setto Off, then the Time Lapse can’t be set toOff.PIRTriggerChoose sensitivity of the PIR sensor.This parameter defines the sensitivity ofthe PIR. There are four sensitivityparameters: High, Normal, Low and Off.The default value is “Normal”. The higherdegree indicates that the Camera is moreeasily to be triggered by motion, taking
MG883G-12mHD 3 Item SettingsPage 15more pictures or recording more videos.It is recommended to use high sensitivitydegree in room or environment with littleinterference, and to use lower sensitivityfor outdoor or environment with lots ofinterference like hot wind, smoke, nearwindow etc. Furthermore, the sensitivityof the PIR is strongly related to thetemperature. Higher temperature leadsto lower sensitivity. Therefore it issuggested to set a higher sensitivity forhigh temperature environment.Please note that if the Time Lapse is setto Off, then the PIR Trigger can’t be setto Off.PIRIntervalThis parameter indicates how long thePIR (Passive Infrared motion sensor) willbe disabled after each triggering in ONmode. During this time the PIR of thedevice will not react to the motion ofhuman (or animals). The minimuminterval is 0 second, it means the PIRworks all the time. The maximuminterval is 1 hour. It means the PIR willbe disabled for 1 hour after eachtriggering. Press LEFT or RIGHT todecrease or increase the value.WorkHourChoose a time period of a day to let thecamera work.

The new patented PIR’s detectionrange can reach to 85ft in good environments.Following picture shows the compared detectionzone between normal PIR and the new patentedPIR.The PIR detection angle (α) is just smaller than thefield of view (FOV) angle (β). The advantage of thisdesign is to reduce empty picture rate and capturemost, if not all, motions.

FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION: WARNING!! Read this information before using your phone In August 1986 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Outer FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna. Your wireless handheld portable camera is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless camera. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies: <ANSIC95.1> (1992) / <NCRP Report 86> (1986) / <ICNIRP> (1999) Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). Nevertheless, we recommend that you use a hands-free kit with your phone (such as an earpiece or headset) to avoid potential exposure to RF energy. The design of your camera complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards). Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The device has been evaluated to meet general RF exposure requirement. The separation distance between the user and the antenna of the device is 20 cm.
NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. -Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. -Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help Do not use the device with the environment which below minimum -10℃ or over maximum 50℃, the device may not work. Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
