GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Introduction

The Ltl Acorn (Model: Ltl-5210 & Ltl-5210A) scouting camera (also called game camera/trail

camera) is a scouting device. It can be triggered by sudden change of ambient temperature

caused by moving game in a region of interest (ROI), which is detected by a highly sensitive

Passive Infra-Red (PIR) sensor, and then take pictures or video clips automatically.

The Ltl-5210 and Ltl-5210Afeature:

•5 Mega Pixels CMOS sensor. Interpolable to 12 Mega Pixels on Ltl-5210A

•Sharp and bright color pictures in daytime and clear black/white pictures at night

•Ultra low standby power consumption. Extremely long in-field life (in standby mode, up

to 3 months with 4 x AA batteries and 6 months with 8 x AA batteries)

•Unique side Prep Sensor design provides wider sensing angle and enhances camera’s

response speed

•Perform in the most extreme temperatures from -22°F to 158°F

•Compact size (5 ½ x 3 ½ x 2 ½ inches). Well designed to deploy covertly

•Impressively quick trigger time (1 second)

•Backpack-looking tree grabber makes mounting and aiming a snap

•Serial Number function enables you to code locations in the photos. This helps

multi-camera users identify the location when reviewing the photos

•Date, time, temperature and moon phase can be stamped in the pictures

•Lockable and password protected

1.2 Application

•Trail camera for hunting

•Animal or event observation

•Motion-triggered security camera, for home, office and community

•All other indoor/outdoor surveillance where invasion evidence needed

The camera provides the following connections for external devices: USB port, SD card slot, TV

out jack, and external DC power in jack. The 3-way Power/Mode Switch is used to select the

main operation modes: OFF, ON and TEST.

To supply power, it is recommended to use four new high-performance alkaline AA batteries or

low self-discharge Ni-MH chargeable AA batteries. To achieve longer in-field time, install the

additional battery box which contains four more AA batteries.

QUICK START

2.1 Load Batteries

Let us begin with loading the batteries. Please follow the instructions below.

•Open the bottom cover by pulling down the lock hole.

•Push the cover of the battery compartment and release. It will pop out.

•Install 4 AA batteries. Make sure the polarity matches the sign on the cover.

•Replace the cover.

Alternatively the camera can run on an external 6V DC power source (optional, user provided).

When both external power and batteries are connected, the camera will be powered by the

external one.

2.2 Insert SD Card

The camera does not come with internal memory. So it will not work without a SD (Secure

Digital) memory card or SDHC (High Capacity) card. Before inserting the SD card into the card

slot, please make sure the write-protect switch on the side of the SD card is “off” (NOT in the

“Lock” position). The supported memory capacity is up to 16GB. If you use a card capable of

above 16GB, make sure you test it before putting the camera in use.

Figure 2.1

CAUTION: ALWAYS SWITCH THE CAMERA TO OFF MODE BEFORE YOU INSTALL

OR REMOVE THE BATTERIES OR THE SD CARD.

2.3 Enter Test Mode

Switch to the TEST position to enter the Test mode. In this mode you can take pictures or video

clips like a regular digital camera, or enter the Menu to set up parameters. On the keypad there

are four “shortcut” functional keys (see Figure 2-1) working as below:

•Press the key to set the camera to shoot video clips.

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

•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.

•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 monitoring distance. To perform the

test:

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

•Walk slowly from one side of the ROI to the other parallel to the camera. Try different

distances and angles from the camera.

•If the Motion Indicator flashes blue, it indicates the position from where you were

detected by one of the side Prep PIR sensors. If the Motion Indicator flashes red, it

indicates the position from where you were 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.

2.4 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 area of the prep sensors, the camera will power off and enter standby mode.

ADVANTAGES OF PREP SENSORS

In general, to save battery power, an Infer-Red camera is in “sleep” mode, with only the PIR

sensor working. When game is detected by the PIR sensor, the camera is powered on and starts

shooting pictures. The time period from being activated to starting firing is called trigger time.

The trigger time varies among different scouting camera brands in the market, generally from 1

to 5 plus seconds. Our Ltl Acorn scouting camera has an impressive 1 second trigger time.

However, when game passes across very quickly, the picture may only capture the rear part of

the body, and possibly nothing at all.

With the unique side prep PIR sensors design, our Ltl Acorn solves this issue. The combination

of the two side prep sensors and the main sensor comes up with a 100 to 120° angle of induction,

a very wide scope far outweighing the 50 ° angle of the camera lens. When game first crosses the

PIR area of the prep sensor, the camera is activated and ready to shoot after 1 second. If the

game continually enters into the PIR area of the main sensor, the camera takes pictures

immediately, therefore catching the whole body of the game. This split-second process could be

as short as 0.2 second.

In the case the game browses only in the PIR area of the prep sensors, to avoid the camera being

powered on constantly, the system is designed to work in the following way: If the game does

not enter the PIR area of the main sensor and therefore not trigger the main sensor, the camera

will power off after 3 seconds. If the trigger events consecutively happened twice only in the PIR

area of the prep sensors, the camera will not be activated by the side prep sensors, but only by

the main sensor. So later on when the game enters the PIR area of the main sensor eventually,

since it is not in fast movement, the picture will by all means capture the whole body of the game

based on our standard 1 second response time.

(12MP on Ltl-5210A

only)

Select desired resolution for still photos

from 3 to 12 megapixels. Higher

resolution produces better quality

photos, but creates larger files that take

more of the SD card capacity. Besides,

larger files require longer time to write

to the SD card, which will slightly slow

the shutter speed. 5MP is recommended.

Video Size (affects

1S to 60M

Select the shortest length of time that the

camera will wait until it responds to any

subsequent triggers from the PIR sensor

after a game is first detected. During the

selected interval, the camera will not

take pictures/videos. This prevents the

SD card from filling up with too many

redundant images.

Sense Level Normal, High, Low Select the sensitivity of the PIR sensor.

The High setting suits indoors and

environments with little interference,

while the Normal/Low suits outdoors

and environments with more

interference. Temperature also affects

the sensitivity. The High setting is

suitable when the ambient temperature is

warm, and the Low setting is helpful in

cold weather.

imprinted in every photo.

Timer Switch Off, On Select On if you only want the camera to

work within a specified time period

every day. For instance, if the starting

time is set at 18:35 and the ending time

at 8:25, the camera will function from

18:35 the current day to 8:25 the next

day. Outside the time period the camera

will not be triggered or take

photos/videos.

Password Set Off, On Set up a password to protect your camera

from unauthorized users.

Serial No. Off, On Select On to assign a serial number to

each camera you have. You can use the

combination of 4 digits and/or alphabets
