Video Size

The SECACAM has three video resolutions for you to choose from:
• FHD = 1920 x 1080
• HD = 1280 x 720
• VGA = 640 x 480
We recommend setting the video size to "HD". While the FHD resolution
might result in a partially improved video quality, the video files will become
bigger requiring more space on the memory card. The videos are recorded in
a 16:9 aspect ratio with 30 fps and saved in the AVI format.

Video Length

Specify the duration of a video recording triggered automatically. You can
choose between 5-59 seconds.
Note: Please note that night videos have a considerably higher battery
consumption than photos. While taking a photo the LEDs flash only briefly,
but during the recording of a video the LEDs are coninuously powered.
We recommend a video length of 15 seconds. When using the mode
„Photo+Video" we recommend to reduce the video length to 10 seconds.
Memory Info: In daylight a 15 second video in "HD" video size takes up rough-
ly 60 MB of memory space. A 8GB memory card will hold approx. 130 short
videos.

Sensitivity

The SECACAM Explorer uses a "passive infrared sensor" (PIR) which reacts
to moving heat sources. The sensitivity of the sensor can be set between
"High", "Middle" and "Low".
We recommend the "High" setting. However, this setting increases the pos-
sibility of false triggering, for example when the camera recognizes moving
branches that have been warmed by sunlight and are now moving in the
wind. If too many false triggered photos are recorded, the sensitivity may be
reduced step-by-step.
