HOW TO CHARGE THE CAMERA Note: If you are not located in the US, or if you intend to use this product anywhere other than the US, you will need to purchase a converter in order to use the AC wall plug in and avoid damaging the product. Because different countries use different voltages in their electrical wiring, you will need a converter that adapts to the current in your particular country. The OmniBottle has 2 methods of charging: 1. First, you can connect the provided charging cable to the battery charging port on the 3D printed housing inside the bottle (see page 3 to locate charging port). The LED indicator light will be on as long as the cable is connected. We

If motion is detected, the Red light will flash 2 times and turn off. 3. If there is no motion after 1 minute, the device will return to detection standby mode until motion is detected again. While waiting, the Green light will be on. NOTE: If you activate motion detection and there is no motion currently in front of the camera, there will be no indication you have entered into motion mode. The green light will simply remain on.

The camera has stopped recording motion detection and is now in Standby Mode. HOW TO USE PIR SENSOR (If Applicable) Note: The “Motion Detection” mode and “PIR” mode work similarly in that they detect motion. The “Motion Detection” mode relies on the camera itself to detect motion, while the “PIR” mode relies on the PIR sensors to detect motion. “PIR” represents “passive infrared sensor”, which relies on measures of infrared light to detect motion. Note: Only OmniX Products have a PIR sensor installed. OmniEye products do not come with this feature. 1. While the camera is in Standby Mode, press the “PIR Sensor” button (see page 4). 2. If motion is detected, the indicator light will flash, then turn off.

4. If you wish to turn it off PIR sensor mode, press the “PIR Sensor” button once more. The indicator light will flash, and the camera is now in standby mode.
