and easily choose between OPTIMAL (normal), IR-BOOST (lights up power-

fully to produce clear photos), NO GLOW (although active, the ﬂash is imper-

ceptible), and BLUR REDUCTION (eliminates the motion blur that a moving

subject produces on a photo) modes.

CHOOSING A POWER SOURCE

4 options are available to you:

• Internal lithium battery (included)

• Alkaline or lithium AA batteries

• Rechargeable lithium battery pack (#LIT-09 sold separately)

• Rechargeable battery 12 V (#KIT-12V sold separately)

INTERNAL LITHIUM BATTERY (MAIN POWER SOURCE)

Before your ﬁrst use, charge the internal lithium battery.

• Turn the camera OFF.

• Turn the solar panel downwards so that it does not interfere with the

charging process.

• Plug the 12V-USB cable (included) into

the 12 V jack on the bottom of the unit,

then connect the other end to a 5 V

wall outlet charger (not included).

• Once the camera is plugged in, its

screen will light up and the battery

charge level will be displayed for

10 seconds.

• Charge the camera for 24 to 48 hours

before use.

• You can press the OK button at any

time during the charging process to

display the battery charge level.

OPERATION

• The solar panel's function is to recharge the internal battery. This is the

default power supply system. The camera will be energetically self-suﬃcient

under ideal conditions (a low energy conﬁguration and a sunny environ-

ment).

• Make sure there are not objects obstructing the reception of light or

covering the solar panel.

• When the charge level of the internal battery is low, you will receive

a notiﬁcation in your application.

• If the internal battery charge level becomes insuﬃcient, the camera will shut

down or switch to an auxiliary power source, if you provided one.

• If the camera shuts down, the solar panel will recharge the internal battery

and the camera will restart by itself once it is suﬃciently charged, and it will

retain the settings you previously selected.

ADDITIONAL POWER SOURCES

ALKALINE OR LITHIUM AA BATTERIES

To add batteries, press the battery compartment release button under the

camera and open the door.

Power

LINK-S-DARKSPYPOINT

MANAGING VARIOUS CAMERA POWER SUPPLY

1. As soon as you connect an external 12 V battery to your camera via the

12 V socket, it becomes its main power supply source. The 12 V battery will

power the camera when it is turned on. If you turn oﬀ the camera, the 12 V

battery will recharge the internal lithium battery.

2. The internal lithium battery will only be used when the 12 V battery is drained.

3. When the internal lithium battery is drained, the camera will switch

automatically, without turning oﬀ, to the energy supplied by the AA

batteries or the battery pack.

4. When the AA batteries (or battery pack) are drained, the camera will turn oﬀ.

External 12 V

battery (#KIT-12V)

Internal lithium

battery

AA batteries or lithium

battery pack (#LIT-09)

Make sure to insert the AA batteries according to their polarity

(+) and (-) as shown in the battery compartment.

For best results and no leakage:

• Use only new alkaline or lithium batteries.

• Do not mix new and old batteries.

• Do not use rechargeable AA batteries

(their lower voltage can generate operational issues).

LITHIUM BATTERY PACK

The camera can be powered by a rechargeable

lithium battery pack LIT-09 (sold separately).

You can insert it in the battery compartment.

This kind of battery is less aﬀected by the cold

and oﬀers up to 2 times the performance of

alkaline batteries.

EXTERNAL 12 V BATTERY

• As soon as it is plugged in, this

battery will become the main power

source. The internal battery will only

be used once the 12 V battery is

drained.

• You can purchase a 12 V battery

and cable kit (such as #KIT-12V, sold

separately). To connect it to the

camera, plug the 12 V cable into

the 12 V socket on the camera and

connect the other end of the cable

to the 12 V battery.

LINK-S-DARKSPYPOINT

NOTE

• Using an external 12 V battery source does not recharge the lithium battery

pack.

• The camera’s integrated solar panel will not recharge the external 12 V battery.

• When the charge level of the internal battery is low, you will receive

a notiﬁcation in your application.

• If the internal battery charge level becomes insuﬃcient, the camera will shut

down or switch to an auxiliary power source, if you provided one.

• If the camera shuts down, the solar panel will recharge the internal battery

and the camera will restart by itself once it is suﬃciently charged, and it will

retain the settings you previously selected.

BATTERY LEVEL VERIFICATION

You can verify the battery charge level in 3 ways:

1. By referring to the icon in the lower right corner of your camera's home

screen. This icon indicates, alternately, the charge level of the camera's

diﬀerent power sources.

HOME

Start camera

Detection test

View

Settings

Please note that the charge level of the internal battery is always indicated

ﬁrst (yellow icon). Then, the charge level of the secondary source is displayed

according to the battery type chosen in the settings: 12V, LIT-09, AA, or

AA-LIT (green icon).

2. In the SPYPOINT application: on the home page, you will see the battery

charge level for each of your devices. You can access more details on the

status of your battery by going to the STATUS page. When the battery logo

turns red, we suggest that you recharge the battery pack before it is com-

pletely drained.

3. Using your account on the www.spypoint.com site, in the “Camera status”

section.

For an accurate reading, it is important to select the correct

battery type in the application settings.

INSTALLING A SD CARD (NOT INCLUDED)

The use of a memory card is necessary for the operation of the camera. It is used to save pictures, videos

and other camera status ﬁles. Note that photos in their original format are kept on the memory card. The

photos sent to your application are lighter versions. You can retrieve your photos at any time by removing

the card from the device and transferring the contents to another device (e.g.: computer).

Your camera requires a memory card type SD/SDHC class 10, with a maximum capacity of 32 GB, sold

separately. Here is a table showing the approximate quantity of photos and video length that can be

recorded on the card, according to diﬀerent memory card capacities.

INSERTING YOUR SD CARD

Before inserting the SD card into your camera, it must be formatted via a computer to ensure proper

operations. Visit www.spypoint.com/en/support if you need help formatting your SD card.

• Make sure the camera is turned OFF.

• Locate the SD card slot. It is located on the lower right side (see diagram).

• Insert an SD card (up to 32 GB) into the SD card slot with the metal contacts facing the back.

• The card is correctly inserted when you hear a click.



NOTE

The LINK-S-DARK is equipped with continuous ﬁle

recording. This means that when the memory card

is full, the camera continues to save your pictures

by erasing the ﬁrst recorded ﬁles.
