1.3 How to Setup the Camera

1.
Power on the camera AFTER you’ve installed the batteries, SIM card, & SD card
The camera is pre-configured for motion triggered photos. To use basic
motion triggered photos, move the power switch Switch to ON. The screen
will not come on, but you will see the red LED in the front of the camera
flash. The camera can now be mounted if motion-activated photos are
desired. Refer to page 6 below for default settings in red letters.
2.
Configure Camera Settings
When you switch the camera to SETUP mode the screen will light up. Press
the Menu key to view & change settings. Press the arrow keys for navigation
and the OK key to confirm settings.
Note: Switch to ON to enable the camera to work after settings are
configured.
3.
How to Connect the Camera to Network
The camera will begin a network “Searching” process when you select
SETUP and will display network strength in bars when a network is detected.
If it comes with a pop-up “SIM Auto Match failed…”, please go to “SIM Auto
Match” under “4G”, select “Manual”, and fill in local operator APN details in
“Manual Setup”
Note:
By default, the camera transmits photos to the Barn Owl app via FTP. You
can email photos directly from the camera, but it will use more data than
just using FTP. The camera will not send MMS with the SIM card provided
by Barn Owl. If you desire emails or texts, we recommend setting those up
in the Barn Owl app. The Barn Owl software will forward incoming images
to the selected emails or phone numbers.

3) Camera Details
3.1 Full Functionality Introduction
The RangeCam Mini is designed with the following features:
SIM setup is automatic (auto match), remote control via the Barn Owl app, 65
ft IR invisible flash range, 0.4 seconds trigger time, video transmission, and 1
photo/sec (up to 5 photos per trigger) during multi-shot sequence.
3.2 Power Supply
Barn Owl Tech, Inc 9
A.
Batteries
The camera runs on 8 AA batteries, can work with alkaline, lithium, and
NiMH rechargeable batteries. We recommend lithium batteries, especially in
cold temperatures. NiMH are also a good option if you recharge batteries.
Be sure to choose the battery type you’re using in the menu option “Battery
Type” to improve battery life.
There is a battery icon in the photo stamp to indicate battery charge level.
The battery indicator for lithium batteries is deceptive--it will show full right
up until the lithium batteries die. This is because lithium batteries maintain
their voltage right up until they are almost out of energy, while alkaline and
NiMH batteries lose voltage slowly.
Note: Do not mix battery types! Using different battery types may damage
the camera and void the warranty.
B.
Solar Panel
The solar panel should power the camera indefinitely with 3-4 hours of
direct sunlight per day. When the solar panel is connected, the camera runs
on the solar panel’s lithium battery until it dies. The camera’s AA batteries
serve as backup power to the solar panel. The solar panel does not charge
the AA batteries in the camera.
3.3 SD Card
A memory card (SD card) is required to operate the camera.
When the camera is "ON" and no memory card is used, the screen displays
"No 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 to the pictures/videos already
recorded on the memory card. When the SD card is full, the viewing screen
shows "Memory Full". You can select SD Cycle “ON” to overwrite the oldest
photos. SD Cycle “ON” will keep your camera operating when the SD card is
full.
Chart below will show you the approximate capacity of different size SD
cards.
3.4 USB Connection
When the camera is connected via USB cable, the screen will display “MSDC”.
Press “Menu” once, “MSDC” turns to “PC Cam”, and the camera now can be
