Video Mode Menu Overview

[add display mock-ups?]

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.

  1. Wireless Channel – Set or disable the wireless transmission channel used to communicate with Camtraptions receivers.
  2. Wide Sensor – Control the behaviour and relative sensitivity of the wide-angle PIR sensor.
  3. Far Sensor – Control the behaviour and relative sensitivity of the narrow-field, long-range PIR sensor.
  4. Time (Recording Length) – Define the duration of each video recording following a detection.
  5. Gap – Set a retrigger delay between recordings to manage how soon the sensor is able to reactivate.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Wake Time – Configure a wake-up period to give cameras time to power up before recording begins.
  9. Set Time – Adjust the internal real-time clock to ensure accurate time-based operation.
  10. Time Mode – Enable or disable time windows that restrict when the sensor is active.
  11. Set On Time – Define the time of day when the sensor becomes active.
  12. Set Off Time – Define the time of day when the sensor becomes inactive.
  13. External Wake – Schedule periodic half-press pulses to prevent connected equipment from entering deep sleep.
  14. Set Mode – Switch between Video and Still operating modes.

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