1.1 General Description
This camera, a digital scouting camera with 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 10M pixels) or records video clips (720P HD). It sends pictures
instantly to your mobile device or e-mail via GSM/GPRS/MMS
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 infrared LEDs can help to take clear pictures or
videos (monochrome).
There is a 3” 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 is resistant against water and snow. The camera can also be used
as a portable digital camera.
1.2Application
This camera can be used as an automatic surveillance device for
guarding and recording unexpected intrusion to homes, shops, schools,
depots, offices, taxis, work sites, etc. It can also be used as a trail
camera for hunting or monitoring animals by recording the traces of
wild animals. It can be left alone for weeks and months and it will save
event records automatically in digital format.
1.3Camera Overview
Take a few moments to familiarize with the camera controls and
displays. It is helpful to bookmark this section and refer to it when

the power adapter or 8 AA batteries.
¬Please install batteries according to shown polarity.
¬Please insert the SD card before power on camera. The camera has
no internal memory for saving images or videos. The camera will not

have poor compatibility with different brands of cameras. So it is
best to format the SD card with this camera or on a computer.
¬In the SETUP mode,the camera will shut down automatically after 3
