Denver WCT-8010 - User Manual

The DENVER WCT-8010 is an automatic surveillance camera that triggers upon detecting movement from humans or animals within a specified region of interest. It utilizes a highly sensitive Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor to detect activity. Once triggered, the camera automatically captures high-quality pictures, up to 12 megapixels, or records 1080p HD video clips.

During daylight hours (sunrise to dusk), the camera captures color photos and videos. When light levels are insufficient (dusk onwards), it automatically switches to infrared (monochrome) mode for night vision photography and video recording. The camera also includes a sound recording function, embedding audio into video clips.

The camera operates in three main modes:

OFF Mode: This is a safe mode for replacing the Micro SD-card or batteries and for transporting the camera.
ON Mode: In this mode, the camera automatically takes pictures or videos based on default or custom settings. After switching on, there's a 15-second buffering time, indicated by a blinking red LED, before automatic capturing begins. This allows time to close and lock the bottom cover, fix the camera, and move away.
TEST Mode: This mode allows for custom settings, manual capture, and previewing images or videos.

Usage Features

The DENVER WCT-8010 is designed for ease of use with a 2.0-inch colorful LCD display. It is resistant to water and snow, making it suitable for outdoor applications.

Power Supply: The camera requires either 4 or 8 AA batteries for operation. High-density, high-performance alkaline batteries are recommended, but rechargeable NiMH batteries can also be used. The battery compartment is accessed by sliding the power switch to the OFF position. The camera will automatically shut down in TEST mode if there's no operation within 3 minutes to conserve power, and also when in a low-battery state.

Micro SD-card: A Micro SD-card (8MB to 32GB) is required for storing images and videos. It should be inserted with the marked side upwards while the power switch is in the OFF position. The write-protect on the card must be unlocked before insertion. The camera supports FAT32 file format.

Entering Modes:

To enter ON Mode, slide the power switch to the ON position.
To enter TEST Mode, slide the power switch to the TEST position.

Custom Settings (in TEST Mode): Pressing the MENU button in TEST mode allows access to the settings menu. Here, users can customize various camera settings, which are displayed on the camera's LCD screen or an external TV monitor. Settings include:

Photo Settings:
- Resolution: Choose between 12MP, 8MP, or 5MP for photos.
- Interval: Set the delay between triggers from 1 second to 30 minutes.
- Multi: Determine the number of pictures taken per trigger (Single, 3, 6, or 9 pictures).
- ISO: Adjust ISO sensitivity (100, 200, 400) for better night photos.
- ID: Set a camera ID (CAM000 by default).
Video Settings:
- Resolution: Select video resolution (1080P, 720P, WVGA).
- Video Length: Set video clip duration (10s, 30s, 60s, 90s).
- Voice: Enable or disable sound recording for videos.
System Settings:
- Mode: Choose between Camera, Video, or Camera+Video modes.
- Language: Select the display language (English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Danish, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Swedish, Italian, Finnish).
- TV Mode: Set to NTSC or PAL.
- Date/Time: Adjust the date and time (Month/Day/Year, Hour/Minute/Second).
- Timer: Set specific operating hours for the camera.
- Format: Format the SD-card.
- Password: Enable or disable a password for camera access.
- Default: Reset all settings to default.
- Version: Display firmware version.

Manual Capturing (in TEST Mode): Press the "SHOT" button to manually capture photos or record videos.

Viewing Images or Videos (in TEST Mode): Captured media can be viewed on the camera's LCD screen or an external TV monitor connected via a TV cable.

Press "OK" to view the latest image or video.
Press "Replay" to start or stop video playback.
Use the "UP" button to view the previous image/video and "DOWN" for the next.
The display shows the total number of images on the SD-card and the index of the currently displayed image.

Password Protection: The camera supports password protection. If enabled, a password must be entered on the LCD screen after switching on the camera. The default password is off, but it can be set to a 4-digit number.

Maintenance Features

SD-card Management:

It is recommended to format the SD-card using the camera when first used.
Formatting the SD-card will delete all stored images and videos, so a backup of important data should be made beforehand.
The camera will enter USB mode when connected to a computer, allowing the SD-card to function as a removable disk for file transfer.
Do not insert or remove the Micro SD-card when the power switch is in the ON position.

File Numbering: Images and videos are saved in a pre-named folder (104MEDIA). Files are numbered sequentially (e.g., PTDC0001.JPG or PTDC0001.AVI), with suffixes indicating whether it's an image (.jpg) or a video (.avi).

Firmware Upgrade: The camera has an automatic firmware upgrade function. If an improved firmware is available:

Unzip the update file.
Copy the FWF900.bin file to the Micro SD-card.
Insert the Micro SD-card into the camera.
Power on the camera in TEST Mode.
The camera will automatically read the file and update itself; the screen will be black during this process.
The screen will light up when the update is complete.
Remove the Micro SD-card, insert it into a PC, and delete the FWF900.bin file. Failure to do so will cause the camera to re-enter update mode upon subsequent power-ons.
Reinsert the Micro SD-card into the camera for normal operation. Ensure sufficient power during firmware upgrades to prevent interruption and potential malfunction.

Power Off: To power off the camera, slide the power switch to the OFF position. For long periods of non-use, it is advisable to remove the batteries, as the camera still consumes a small amount of power even when off.

Environmental Considerations: When placing the camera, avoid areas with temperature and motion disturbances (e.g., trees exposed to direct sunlight) that could cause false triggers. The recommended height for placing the camera is 1 to 2 meters from the object.

Troubleshooting Note: Heavy rain, fog, and drizzle in the dark may result in white photos without a clear motive; this is not an error with the camera.
