Overview

The Bresser OMNI-5GC is a versatile game camera designed for surveillance, whether for observing wildlife or monitoring for trespassers. Its robust design and user-friendly features make it suitable for various outdoor applications.

At its core, the OMNI-5GC functions as a motion-activated camera, capable of capturing still images. It utilizes a passive-infrared (PIR) motion sensor to detect movement within its detection range, triggering the camera to take a photo. This allows users to document activity in a specific area without constant manual monitoring. The camera is designed for both day and night operation, ensuring continuous surveillance regardless of lighting conditions. For nighttime use, it incorporates infrared (IR) lights, which provide illumination without alerting subjects, making it ideal for discreet observation.

Setting up the OMNI-5GC is straightforward. Users begin by installing eight AA batteries into the designated battery tray. It's crucial to ensure correct polarity and to wait a few seconds after battery installation for the camera's internal chip to initialize properly before powering it on. Once the batteries are in place, a micro SD card (up to 32GB, Class 6 or above) needs to be inserted into the micro card slot. The camera does not require complex programming for basic operation; simply turning it on will initiate its function.

Upon powering on, the camera's preview screen, located on the programming dongle, will display what is in front of the lens. This allows users to test the camera's view and ensure it is aimed correctly. After a brief countdown, the camera enters its active state, ready to capture images based on detected motion.

The OMNI-5GC offers several customizable settings to tailor its performance to specific needs. These settings are accessible via the MENU button on the preview screen. Users can adjust the date and time, which is essential for accurate record-keeping. The camera also includes a "DEFAULT" option to reset all settings to their factory defaults, providing a convenient way to start fresh if needed.

For managing storage, the camera features a "FORMAT" option, allowing users to format the inserted micro SD card directly through the camera's interface. This helps ensure optimal card performance and clears existing data.

The sensitivity of the PIR motion sensor can be adjusted to "LOW," "MIDDLE," or "HIGH." This feature is particularly useful for preventing false triggers from minor movements like swaying branches or small animals, or conversely, for ensuring even subtle movements are captured.

Users can also choose whether to include a "STAMP" on their captured photos, which typically includes information like the date and time. The "PHOTO SIZE" setting allows for adjustment of the image resolution, with options such as 5MP, 3MP, and 2MP. This can impact image quality and the number of photos that can be stored on the micro SD card.

A "DELAY" setting is available to control the pause period between consecutive pictures when the camera is in active motion mode. This prevents the camera from taking an excessive number of pictures of the same event, which helps conserve battery life and storage space. The delay can be set in seconds or minutes, offering flexibility depending on the expected activity level.

Viewing captured images can be done in two ways. Directly on the camera, users can press one of the preview buttons to switch into "view mode." The preview buttons allow navigation through the recorded pictures. After viewing, the camera automatically resumes normal operation if no buttons are pressed for a few seconds. Alternatively, images can be viewed on a computer. By sliding the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position and connecting the camera to a computer via the provided Micro USB cable, a connection icon will appear on the camera screen, allowing users to access the images using their preferred JPEG viewer software.

Mounting the OMNI-5GC is designed for flexibility. It can be secured using the included nylon strap, which wraps around a tree or post, or by using a screw or nail through the dedicated hanger located on top of the camera. This ensures the camera can be positioned securely in various outdoor environments.

Maintenance of the OMNI-5GC primarily involves managing its power source and storage. Regular replacement of exhausted AA batteries is necessary, and it's important to remove batteries before extended storage to prevent leakage. The micro SD card should be formatted periodically to maintain performance and clear old data. The camera's sturdy plastic housing is designed to be easily camouflaged, blending into natural surroundings, and protecting the internal components from the elements.

The OMNI-5GC is a practical and reliable tool for anyone needing to monitor outdoor areas, offering a balance of ease of use, customizable features, and robust construction for long-term deployment.
