Setting up your BlazeVideo DL-2Q trail camera is straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Preparing the Camera:

   • Open the battery compartment and insert 4 or 8 new 1.5V AA batteries. It's crucial to use batteries of the same type and ensure they are fresh for optimal performance.
   • Locate the micro SD card slot and insert a compatible card (up to 64GB). Make sure the write protection switch on the SD card is unlocked.
   • Turn the camera on using the power switch, usually located on the side.

2. Navigating the Setup Menu:

   • Use the camera's buttons to navigate the menu and settings:
     • The UP key lets you move up a page in the menu (Menu mode) or switch to video recording.
     • The MENU button opens or closes the setting menu and stops video playback in replay mode.
     • The LEFT key moves you left a page.
     • The REPLAY key lets you review photos and videos.
     • The SHOT key starts video recording or captures a photo.
     • The RIGHT key moves you right a page.
     • The OK button plays or pauses video files in replay mode.
     • The DOWN key moves you down a page in the menu (Menu mode) or switches to photo mode.

3. Setting Modes and Parameters:

   • Use the Mode Switch to select between Photo, Video, or Photo+Video modes, depending on your needs.
   • Customize your camera settings, including Photo Resolution, Video Resolution, Video Length, Audio Recording, Shot Lag, Sensitivity of Motion Sensors, Target Recording Time, Time Lapse, Language, Date & Time, Photo Stamp, Password Protection, Beep Sound, Format Memory Card, Serial Number, Reset Settings, and Version. Refer to your manual for detailed setting explanations.

4. Entering Live Mode:

   • Once your settings are configured, move the mode selector to the "ON" position.
   • The camera will then enter Standby mode and begin capturing photos and videos automatically when motion is detected.

5. Connecting to Your Computer:

   • To transfer your photos and videos, switch the mode to "SETUP".
   • Connect the camera to your computer using a USB cable. The camera screen should display "MSDC prompt", confirming the connection.
   • Your computer will recognize the camera as a removable storage device, allowing you to easily transfer your files. This is how you'll access the captured images and videos.
