# 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 <span class="s1">**full-press**</span> signals during the recording period.

#### **How It Works**

The input from <span class="s1">**full-press**</span> starts the camera recording. Recording stops when **15 seconds** has elapsed since the last <span class="s1">**full-press**</span> occurred.

#### **Multi-Sensor Camera Traps**

<span class="s1">**Mode A**</span> 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

<span class="s1">**Full-press**</span> starts recording, second <span class="s1">**full-press**</span> stops recording.

#### **How It Works**

The moment <span class="s1">**full-press**</span> is detected the camera is instructed to record. Recording stops only after <span class="s1">**full-press**</span> is released and a second <span class="s1">**full-press**</span> is detected.

<p class="callout info">Note: This mode does not auto-power-off the camera after recording. Configure the camera itself to auto-power-off via its menu.</p>

#### **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
