Operating Modes
This section describes Mode A and Mode B — two different recording behaviours that can be selected using the slider switch on the cable.
Mode A
Camera is woken, records for 15 seconds then automatically returns to the powered-down state. Recording time is extended by a further 15 seconds if there are additional full-press signals during the recording period.
How It Works
The input from full-press starts the camera recording. Recording stops when 15 seconds has elapsed since the last full-press occurred.
Multi-Sensor Camera Traps
Mode A can be used in a multi-sensor camera trap, where multiple Wireless PIR Sensors can be linked to a single camera to cover different approach paths.
Compatibility
For use with:
- Camtraptions Wireless PIR Sensor v3 (purchased after 18th January 2021), using video programs 1, 2 or 3
Mode B
Full-press starts recording, second full-press stops recording.
How It Works
The moment full-press is detected the camera is instructed to record. Recording stops only after full-press is released and a second full-press is detected.
Note: This mode does not auto-power-off the camera after recording. Configure the camera itself to auto-power-off via its menu.
Compatibility
For use with:
- Camtraptions Wireless PIR Sensor v3 (purchased at any time), using video programs 4, 5 or 6
- Camtraptions PIR Sensor v2 programs 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24
- When manually triggering recordings using a wired or wireless shutter release
