Timer; Sensitivity - SecaCam HomeVista Bedienungsanleitung

• Example 2: You would like to create a time lapse video (third
party software required). A short time interval of 5-10 seconds is
recommended. The series of single photos can then be added
together to create a time lapse video.
Note: The temperature shown on the recorded photos in the time lapse
mode may differ from the actual ambient temperature because the internal
temperature of the camera can increase if used over longer periods of time.
TIP: In time lapse mode we recommend to change the multi shot setting to
1P (one picture), thereby limiting the recorded photos to one per interval.

Timer

Similar to a clock timer, you can define a time frame in which the camera
may record. To activate his feature select the menu item „timer" and set it
to „ON", then enter the start and stop time in the format HH:MM (hours and
minutes).
• Example 1: A: A clubhouse is supposed to be monitored only during
the night time. You can, for example, set the time interval from
10:00pm to 06:00am. Outside this period of time the SECACAM
HomeVista will remain in stand-by mode.
• Example 2: You would like to shoot a series of photos of a sunset
to produce a time lapse video. In this case select the time interval
according to the approximate hour of the day the sunset will occur
e.g. from 07:00pm to 09:00pm. Additionally activate the menu
setting „time lapse" (see 54) and choose 10 seconds. The SECACAM
HomeVista will take a photo every 10 seconds in the predefined time
interval.
Outside the selected time interval, the camera is not triggered and will not
record any photos or videos.

Sensitivity

The SECACAM HomeVista 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".
