1 Instru tion
1.1 General Des ription
This camera, a digital scouting camera with black IR and MMS function,
is a digital infrared surveillance camera, triggered by any movement of
humans or animals monitored by a high sensitive Passive Infrared (PIR)
motion sensor, and then automatically captures high quality pictures (up
to 8M pixels) or records video clips (720P HD) according to default set-
tings or preset customer settings. It will then send the pictures instantly
to your mobile device or e-mail via GSM/GPRS network. You’ll be alerted
just when the camera is triggered or per custom settings.
It takes color pictures or videos under sufficient daylight. While at night,
the built-in 940nm IR LEDs take clear pictures or videos (monochrome).
It’s invisible to game. And this model has a new design of PIR and this
new PIR is patented.
There is a 1.5” color LCD display screen on the camera and a sound
recorder embedded in the camera. A laser pointer is used to help target
the photo area of the camera. It supports MMS/SMS/E-mail via
GSM/GPRS Network.
It is resistant against water and snow. The camera can also be used as
a portable digital camera.
1.2 Camera Body Interfa es
The camera has the following I/O interfaces: US connector, SD card
Slot, TV output and external DC power connector.
Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the camera controls and
displays. It is helpful to bookmark this section and refer to it when rea-
ding through the rest of the manual.

4 Advan ed Operations
From the basic operations of the camera previewed in the previous
chapter, we know that the camera has three basic operation modes:
1. OFF mode: Power switch is in the OFF position.
2. ON mode: Power switch is in the ON position.
3. TEST mode: Power switch is in the TEST position.
In the above three modes, the OFF mode is the specified safe mode
when replacing the SD card or batteries and transporting the camera.
This chapter explains the advanced operations for customizing the ca-
mera settings. The settings can only be customized in TEST mode and
the wireless remote is needed.
4.1 Settings Menu
To view the camera settings menu, press MENU in the TEST mode (cal-
led settings menu in this chapter). The settings menu will be shown on
the LCD of camera.

32
Setting Items Des ription
Language You can choose language you need. It supports four
language: English, Finnish, German, Swedish
Camera Mode Choose capturing images or recording videos.
Set Clock Set camera date and time. You can change the date
and time of the device by setting this parameter
when necessary, e.g., after every battery change.
The date format is month/day/year, the time format
is hour: minute: se ond. The valid value for year is
between 2009 and 2050.
Photo Size Choose the image size, e.g. 8 mega pixels or 5
mega pixels.
Photo urst Choose the continuous shooting numbers after
each triggering.
Video Size Choose the video size: 1280x720 or 640x480.
Video Length Choose duration of recording video. This parameter
is effective and can be adjusted only when the
device in the video mode under ON mode. Its value
extends from 1 to 60 seconds with a step of one
second. The default value is 10 seconds. Press
LEFT and RIGHT to decrease or increase the value
by 1 second.
Time Lapse Time lapse means the camera can capture images
or videos at a preset time interval regardless of
whether motions are detected. The default
parameter is Off, which means the timer function is
disabled. Changing this parameter to a non-zero
value turns on the Time Lapse mode, and camera
will take photos at given time interval.
Please note that if the PIR Trigger is set to Off,
then the Time Lapse an’t be set to Off.

33
PIR Trigger Choose sensitivity of the PIR sensor.
This parameter defines the sensitivity of the PIR.
There are four sensitivity parameters: High, Normal,
Low and Off. The default value is “Normal”. The
higher degree indicates that the Camera is more
easily to be triggered by motion, taking more
pictures or recording more videos. It is
recommended to use high sensitivity degree in room
or environment with little interference, and to use
lower sensitivity for outdoor or environment with lots
of interference like hot wind, smoke, near window
etc. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the PIR is
strongly related to the temperature. Higher
temperature leads to lower sensitivity. Therefore it is
suggested to set a higher sensitivity for high
temperature environment.
PIR-Interval This parameter indicates how long the PIR (Passive
Infrared motion sensor) will be disabled after each
triggering in ON mode. During this time the PIR of
the device will not react to the motion of human (or
animals). The minimum interval is 0 second, it
means the PIR works all the time. The maximum
interval is 1 hour. It means the PIR will be disabled
for 1 hour after each triggering. Press LEFT or
RIGHT to decrease or increase the value.
Work Hour Choose a time period of a day to let the camera
work. The camera will awake at the setting time
duration in a day. In the rest of the time the camera
is sleeping. Set Work Hour as off means the camera
works all day.

34
MMS Set The camera sends MMS message through GPRS
network, so before using this function, you need to
open GPRS service from your service provider. You
should set the right MMS setting parameters. The
settings of MMS: URL, APN, IP and Port. Please
contact the network service provider if you are not
familiar with the settings.
GPRS Set The camera sends image through GPRS network
with SMTP protocol to an Email address. Use this
way the communication cost will be much cheaper
in many countries.
You should set the right GPRS setting parameters.
The settings of GPRS: Email server port, APN and
so on, please contact the network service provider
if you are not familiar with the settings.
Sende Mode There are 3 sending modes: “Manual”works in TEST
mode，“Daily report”and“Instant”work in ON mode.
1) “Manual”:
Choose“Manual” in Test mode. Please ensure a SIM
card is inserted properly; Please note, only photos
can be sent in TEST mode .Video information can’t
be sent in TEST mode.
2) “Daily Report”:
Daily Report works only in the ON mode, which
means that the camera will report the summarized
information at the preset time (if the preset time is,
eg.20:00PM) on how many pictures it had taken per
day. So, you will get a summarized text message
with the last picture taken until 20:00PM.
If it is on Photo mode, the camera will send a MMS
at the preset time. The MMS will show you the latest
photo and the total qty of the pictures get taken. If
it is on Video mode, the camera will send a SMS at
the preset time. The SMS will show you how many
video clips the camera has taken within 24 hours.
3) “Instant”:
Instant, just works in ON mode, which means the
camera will send a MMS instantly after it captures a

35
photo. You can choose the number of how many
pictures you want it to send out per day.
If it is on Photo mode and you chose the Instant
MMS mode, and set the MAX number is 10, the
camera will send 10 MMS within 24 hours .And then
it continues to capture photos and save them on the
SD card. After 24 hours, the camera will send MMS
again when it captures photos. If it is on Video mode,
the Camera will send only SMS instead of MMS.
4) “OFF”: To disable MMS function.
Send To Choose send the image to your Phone or to Email.
1> Phone[MMS]: Send the image to cell phone via
WAP.
2> Email[MMS]:Send the image to Email address
via WAP.
3> Email[GPRS]:Send the image to Email address
via SMTP. Use this way the communication cost will
be much cheaper in many countries.
SMS Control SMS Control can enable two way communication
function. It means if you choose SMS Control as
ON, this camera can receive and respond to your
SMS command. Also you can retrieve live pictures
any time. ut the power consumption will be a little
bigger than normal hunting status.
