Video Mode Menu Overview

When the sensor is set to  Video Mode , pressing the right arrow from the Home Screen will cycle through the following menu screens in order. Each screen allows configuration of a key parameter controlling how the sensor detects motion and manages video recording. After the final screen, the menu loops back to the Home Screen. 

 

 Wireless Channel – Set or disable the wireless transmission channel used to communicate with Camtraptions receivers. 

 Wide Sensor – Control the behaviour and relative sensitivity of the wide-angle PIR sensor. 

 Far Sensor – Control the behaviour and relative sensitivity of the narrow-field, long-range PIR sensor. 

 Time (Recording Length) – Define the duration of each video recording following a detection. 

 Gap – Set a retrigger delay between recordings to manage how soon the sensor is able to reactivate. 

 Extend Time (EXT) – Enable or disable Extend Mode. When enabled, motion detected during recording resets the timer, extending the clip until motion stops or the maximum limit is reached. 

 Video Mode (Signal Type) – Select the type of control signal used to start and stop video recording, depending on camera brand: 1 Press , 2 Press , or Hold mode. 

 Wake Time – Configure a wake-up period to give cameras time to power up before recording begins. 

 Set Time – Adjust the internal real-time clock to ensure accurate time-based operation. 

 Time Mode – Enable or disable time windows that restrict when the sensor is active. 

 Set On Time – Define the time of day when the sensor becomes active. 

 Set Off Time – Define the time of day when the sensor becomes inactive. 

 External Wake – Schedule periodic half-press pulses to prevent connected equipment from entering deep sleep. 

 Set Mode – Switch between Video and Still operating modes. 

 

 After the Set Mode screen, pressing the right arrow again returns to the Home Screen .
