Battery
This camera includes a rechargeable and replaceable battery. Make sure it's charged up and ready to go before every investigation.
To charge the battery:
- Connect the camera to a computer or USB power supply.
- The Charging Status Light remains ON while the battery is charging.
- The Charging Status Light will turn OFF when the battery is fully charged.
Charging Time: ~5 hours
Battery Life: Depends greatly on settings ranging from ~5 hours in Photo Mode to ~2 hours in Video Mode. Battery life will be lesser using higher resolution, higher FPS speed and various other features or setting. With high video resolution, high frame rate and with the display on all the time, the battery may only get 30 minutes of life. So, choose the settings that best fit your situation. Keep in mind, you can always plug the camera in to an external battery pack or wall outlet for extended life.
This camera automatically stops recording when the battery is out of power. Your video will be saved before the camera powers OFF.
TIP: If you need more battery life, we suggesting having spare batteries on hand or plugging this into a USB power supply. It will still work and record while plugged into a charging source which is super handy for extended use. A portable USB battery pack or plug into a wall outlet will keep this camera running for many hours.

IR Light Directions
1. Insert CR2 battery in receptacle on back of light
2. Press Red button to turn IR light on
3. Aim light in front of IR sensitive camera
This infrared light was built as a compact solution to quickly and easily add infrared light to compatible cameras. With two high-powered infrared LED lights you can attach this to any camera system that has full spectrum or infrared sensitivity. Use the included hook & loop patches to attach it to anything
- Using the two-sided Velcro strips, peel back the tape and stick to the camera without obstructing any functional areas. Cut as needed.
- Make sure the placement is such that the LED lights do not pass the lens of the camera. Doing so may cause unwanted lens flares. If you are seeing lens flares, move the light back and further away from the camera lens. See illustration as a guide.
- Insert a battery into the mounted battery holster (3-volt, size: CR2).
- Push the on/off toggle button to turn on the light.
NOTE
The LED lights on this unit are infrared only. Since there is no visible light emitted from the unit you will not see them light up with the naked eye. You must have an infrared sensitive camera or camcorder to take advantage of this light system. Depending on the camera model and sensativity to light, this unit will generally allow an infrared capable camera to see up to 12 feet in total darkness. As with all cameras, more light equates to better picture quality.
