Introduction
The OCA Swift digital motion camera is an extremely versatile unit which you may find more uses for than your original
intent. It is perfect for surveillance on farms, large commercial premises, illegal roadside dumping, and residential
areas. Due to their exceptional speed they are also great for wildlife monitoring both recreationally and for scientific
studies. They also have a time-lapse function which when combined with their long battery life, and weatherproof
shell make them popular for long term time-lapse photography of construction projects.
Make yourself familiar with the functions of the camera and if you need assistance know that you can contact Outdoor
Cameras Australia Mon-Fri 9-5.
1.1 Power Supply
a. Batteries
The camera runs on 8 AA size batteries (12V power supply to ensure camera performs on all functions). It can
work with high quality alkaline, high-quality NiMH, and high quality Lithium rechargeable batteries.
We suggest
running the camera on either NiMH and Lithium batteries only
as the performance with alkaline batteries
is much poorer than with NiMH or Lithium batteries -especially for night time photo and video.
Batteries should be inserted as indicated inside the battery case. Upside down batteries may cause a malfunction.
Also, we strongly recommend changing the batteries when the power icon on the camera screen or photo stamp
is empty.
Note: Don’t mix batteries types! Different battery types in the camera may cause permanent damage
which also violates warranty policy!
Due to different settings, the objects activities within camera detection zone, different brands and quality of
batteries, and environment, etc. we’re not able to determine the exact number of photos and videos that the
camera can take. The table below only shows approximate number of photos or videos the camera can take with
8AA alkaline batteries. Better performance can be given by 8 AA rechargeable NiMH and Lithium batteries. We
have found that battery brand significantly alters the number of images you can get. If you are using alkaline
batteries we highly recommend Duracell or Energizer.
