1.1 General Description
This camera, a digital scouting camera with black IR and MMS
function, is a digital infrared surveillance camera, triggered by any
movement of human or animal 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 (VGA)
according to default settings 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. This model has a new design of
PIR which is patented. The new patented PIR detection range can reach
to 22 M.
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
Network.
It is resistant against water and snow. The camera can also be used
as a portable digital camera.
1.2 Camera Body Interfaces
The camera has the following I/O interfaces: USB connector, SD
card slot, TV output, and external DC power connector.

3.1 Power Supply
To supply power for the camera, 4 or 8 size AA batteries are needed.
Open the bottom cover. Confirm that the power switch is in the OFF
position and pull out the battery pack by pulling the silver handle. Load
the fully charged batteries into the pack according to the polarities
signs shown below. Push the battery pack back into the battery
chamber. The following batteries with 1.5V output can be used:
1. High-density and high-performance alkaline batteries
(recommended)
2. Rechargeable alkaline batteries
3. Rechargeable NiMH batteries
There are four battery slots. Slot 1 and 2 form one group and is
marked “1” while slot 3 and 4 form the other group and is marked “2”.
Only one “group” of batteries is needed to supply power to the camera,
but both can be used and is recommended.
When in a low-battery state, the camera will be automatically shut
down after two indication sounds. Please change the batteries at this
time. If you have set the MMS function, it will send you a MMS/SMS or
E-mail to indicate the low battery situation.

3.2Insert the SD card and the SIM card
Open the bottom cover. Insert an SD card into the card slot with
unmarked side upwards. Please note that the SD card is on the “write”
(not locked) position otherwise the camera will not function correctly.
When using MMS/SMS/E-mail functions, be sure to insert a SIM card
into the SIM card slot with angle in the upper left.
3.3 Power On and Enter into the ON Mode
Before switching on, please pay attention to the following:
1. Avoid temperature and motion disturbances in front of the
camera such as a big leaf, curtain, air-conditioner, air outlet of the
chimney, and other heat sources to prevent from false triggering.
2. The height from the ground for placing the camera should vary
with the object size appropriately. In general, three to six feet is
preferred.
Slide the power switch to the ON position to power on the camera
and enter into the ON mode. Before entering into the ON mode, you
can adjust the camera towards the target monitoring area by laser
pointer.
After switching on the camera, the motion indication LED (red) light
will blink for about 10 seconds. The 10 seconds is a buffering time
before automatically capturing photos or videos, e.g. for closing and
locking the bottom cover, fixing the camera on a tree, and walking
away.

The camera has three basic operation modes:
1. OFF mode: power switch is in OFF position.
2. ON mode: power switch is in ON position.
3. TEST mode: power switch is in TEST position.
Fig.6 Operation mode
This chapter explains the advanced operations for customizing the
camera 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
(called settings menu in this chapter). The settings menu will be shown
on the LCD.
Setting Items Description
Camera Mode Choose capturing images or recording videos.
Format Format the SD card. All images and videos in the
SD card will be deleted.
Photo Size Choose the image size, 8 mega pixels or 5 mega
pixels.
Video Size Choose the video size, e.g. 640×480 (VGA) or
320×240(QVGA ).
Set Clock Set date and time.
Photo Burst Choose the continuous shooting numbers after
each triggering.

MG882K-8M 4 Advanced Operations
Page 12
Video Length Choose duration of recording video.
Video Sound Choose if the sound recorder will be used.
PIR Interval
Choose how long the camera will stop functioning
after each triggering. The camera’s PIR will be
disabled during this interval.
PIR Sensitivity
Choose sensitivity of the PIR or off the PIR
detection.
There are four parameters: High, Normal, Low
and PIR Off. The default value is “Normal”. The
higher degree indicates that the camera is more
easily triggered by motion, taking more pictures or
recording more videos. It is recommended to use
high sensitivity degree in a 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.
Note the PIR can’t be set to off if Time Lapse is off.
Timer Switch
The camera can be set to only record/capture at a
certain time of the day when set to On. The rest of
the time the camera will be shut off and will not

MG882K-8M 4 Advanced Operations
Page 13
record any triggers set off by movement. This
function can be set to Off and will function to the
interval settings.
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 E-mail address. This
communication cost will be much cheaper in many
countries.
You should set the right GPRS setting parameters.
The settings of GPRS: E-mail server port, APN and
so on. Please contact the network service provider
if you are not familiar with the settings.
Send Mode
There are 3 MMS modes: “Manual” works in TEST

MG882K-8M 4 Advanced Operations
Page 14
information can’t be sent in TEST mode.
2) “Daily Report”:
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 Camera mode, the camera will send a
MMS at the preset time. The MMS will show you
the latest photo and the total quantity of the
pictures 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.

The camera will send a MMS instantly after it
captures a photo. You can choose the number of
pictures you want it to send out per day.
If it is on Camera mode and you choose the
Instant MMS mode, and set the MAX number to
10, the camera will send 10 MMS within 24
hours.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

Page 15
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 E-mail.
1>Phone:[MMS]: send the image to cell phone
via WAP.
2> Email[MMS]: send the image to E-mail
address via WAP.
3> Email[GPRS]: send the image to E-mail
address via SMTP. Used this way the
communication cost will be much cheaper in
many countries.
Password
For safety purposes, enter a password each time
when entering into Test mode. The default
password is 0000. You could choose OFF to stop
this function.
