Please read theentire instruction manual before using theproduct and then save

necessary changes made to technical data. If you have any questions concerning
technical problems please contact our Customer Services.
Product description
• 12 MP night-vision camera for monitoring hunting spots, gardens, etc. Sends
photos wirelessly by MMS or e-mail via GSM/GPRS at set times or when motion-
triggered by wildlife or other movement.
• Still images and video can also be saved to SD card (max 32 GB, sold separately)
for later transfer to acomputer. Still images are saved in JPG format; video is
saved in AVI format. File system: FAT32.
• Images are stamped with time, date and moon phase. Videos are saved with audio
captured by theintegrated microphone.
• Motion detector with sensitivity of up to 20 m.
• Powered by 8×AA/LR6 batteries (sold separately) or a6 V external power source
(sold separately).
Things to consider:
• Theuse of surveillance cameras in public areas is regulated by theData Protection
Act 1998 and requires thepermission of your local authority. Theuse of camera
surveillance on private property is also regulated by theData Protection Act.
No permission is required from thelocal authority, but thepeople monitored must
be informed that they are under surveillance. TheInformation Commissioner’s
Office has compiled aCode of Practice governing theuse of CCTV cameras.
• For further information visit www.ico.gov.uk.
Note:
Thecamera lens has anIR filter which, when thecamera is
switched off, can end up in aposition where it is shading
thelens. When thecamera is switched back on again,
thefilter will revert to its correct position.
Getting started
Inserting batteries
1. Lift thelid (1).
2. Grasp thehandle of thebattery holder (18) and pull theholder out of thecamera.
3. Insert 8 (or 4)×AA/LR6 batteries into thebattery compartment as shown in thefigure.
Note thepolarity markings on thebottom of thebattery holder to ensure correct insertion.

4
English
Note:
• Thebattery holder should be
inserted as shown in thefigure
(it is possible to insert it upside
down, but then thecamera will
not work).
• Thebatteries should be replaced as soon as they start to become bad,
thecamera can be damaged by old batteries which leak. Do not mix old and
new batteries or different types of batteries (such as non-rechargeable and
rechargeable).
• Thebatteries can last for up to 6 months depending on theworking temperature
and thenumber of exposures.
• In anemergency thecamera can run on 4×AA/LR6 batteries placed in either
theright or theleft side of thebattery compartment. If only four batteries have
been used, they should be replaced with new batteries at theearliest opportunity.
• Thecamera can run on anexternal mains adaptor (sold separately) which provides
6 V DC and which has acentre-positive connector plug. Themains adaptor plugs
into the6 V input socket (19).
Important!
• In order for thecamera to be able to take photos and store them, it needs to be
fitted with anSD memory card. In order for thecamera to be able to send video or
photo (MMS) messages or e-mails, it needs to be fitted with anactive GSM SIM
card. TheSIM card must be activated for mobile data/MMS and thePIN code
must be deactivated.
• Thecamera only supports GSM (2G) and does not work with operators who
only deal with 3G. In theUK therefore, thecamera will not work with networks
operated by Three. Most other operators providing 3G coverage also support 2G (GSM)
coverage.

Settings
We recommend that you set up thecamera using theprogram BMC Config.
1. Download theprogram from themanufacturer’s homepage www.Bolyguard.com or
www.clasohlson.co.uk and install it on your computer.
2. Run theprogram,
thestartpage will appear,
select camera model
MG882K-12MHD in the
“Select product” field and
then press [OK].
3. Anew window will appear.
Select country and
operator in the WAP/
Internet Setting box.
If your operator is not on
thelist, select Others...
and fill in thesettings (see
point 5 below). If unsure,
contact your operator for
current details.
4. Press the [Check WAP/Parameters (L)] button. The “WAP/Internet Parameters”
window will appear. Thecamera can send photos either via MMS to atelephone
or e-mail inbox, or as ane-mail via GPRS. Thedifference is that MMS only requires
MMS settings whilst GPRS requires ane-mail account in order for thephotos to be
sent. Theadvantage of GPRS is that it has ahigher priority on themobile network,
so themessages are less likely to be delayed than MMS messages. Moreover,
GPRS can be cheaper from certain operators as they charge for theamount of
transferred data instead of thenumber of MMS messages.

English
5. In thebox on theleft, WAP Setting, your MMS settings are displayed and they are
specified automatically if you have selected one of theoperators on thelist.
This is where you should fill in your own information if you have selected Others...
as anoperator. These MMS settings are required in order for thecamera to be able
to send MMS messages to mobile phones or e-mail accounts.
6. Thebox on theright, Internet Setting, is for your GPRS settings. TheGPRS
settings are required in order for thecamera to be able to send e-mails to e-mail
accounts.
We recommend that you create anew e-mail account exclusively for thecamera.
Enter thename of theSMPT server for your Internet service provider (SEND EMAIL
SERVER), port, e-mail address from which thecamera is to send from (SEND EMAIL
ADDRESS) and thepassword of thee-mail account (SEND EMAIL PASSWORD).
Contact you operator if you are unsure of thee-mail settings.
This is anexample of thesettings for using Gmail:
Do not forget to press the [Advanced] button
(thebox below will appear) and tick thebox for
SSL if your operator requires this.
Press [OK (Y)] to save.

7
English
7. Press [OK (Y)] to save WAP/Internet Parameters.
8. Press Change Setting for other camera settings. Thewindow below will appear.
Settings for attributes such as Language and PIR Interval can be made at
thetop of thewindow. Further information about these settings can be found in
thePerforming settings using theremote control section below.
Other boxes in thewindow are:
• Work hour: Used if you only want thecamera to be activated during certain hours
of theday.
• Send to: Select whether thephoto is to be sent via MMS or e-mail. If you select
Phone [MMS], thephoto will be sent to thetelephone number which is entered
in accordance with point 10 below. If you select Email [MMS] or Email [GPRS],
thephoto will be sent to thee-mail address which is entered in accordance with
point 10 below.
• Send mode: Select whether, or how often, thephotos are to be sent. There are 4
choices available:
- Manual: Aphoto is only sent upon request via SMS or app.
- Daily Report: Choose atime when thecamera sends areport about
thenumber of photos or videos that have been taken during 24 hours.
- Instant: Thecamera sends thephoto as soon as it has been taken.
Themaximum number of photos that can be sent during a24 hour period
can be limited.
- Off: No photos are sent.
9. When you have made all thesettings, press [OK] to save.
10. Enter thetelephone numbers or e-mail addresses to which you want thecamera
to send thephotos in the Customer Information Setting box in thewindow
which appears under point 3 above. If you are using theBGTools app, thenumber
of thetelephone which is to be used to control thecamera with should be entered
in the Admin... Number field.
11. If you have not already connected thecamera to your computer with theprovided
USB cable, do it now.
12. Select thecamera in thefield for where your settings are to be saved.

8
English
13. Press [SAVE (Y) ] to save thesettings.
14. Disconnect thecamera from your computer.
15. In order for thecamera to be able to adopt thenew settings the function switch
must be set to “TEST” and thecamera allowed to start up and process
thesettings, this will take approximately 30 seconds. Thefunction switch should
then be set to ON and thecamera will work in accordance with thenew settings.
16. We recommend that you test thecamera close to home to ensure that everything
works as it should before placing it out in thefield.
Things to consider:
• E-mail operators might have different security settings and levels. In some cases
you might have to change your security settings in order that another device
(thecamera) can log on to your account.
• Note: It can be difficult to see thesecurity levels of thevarious operators. If you
can’t get you e-mail to work despite following thesteps in theexample below,
we recommend that you only use theMMS function of thecamera to ensure that
thephotos are delivered.

English
This is what it looks like when you use Gmail. Here, Gmail has prevented thecamera
from logging on to theaccount:

To access theset-
tings, first log on to
your Gmail account
and then click on
Account–Personal
settings–Security–
Account permis-
sions–Access
for less secure
apps–Settings.

Operating instructions
Things to consider before turning thecamera on:
Placement
• Thecamera can be mounted with theincluded strap or by using astand or
other bracket that fits thetripod adaptor (21) or (22) on theback of thecamera.
Make sure that thecamera sits securely so that it is not affected by wind or other
external factors.
• Remember to position thecamera where it will receive thebest possible protection
from theelements.
• Asuitable distance to thesubject is approximately 5 m; secure thecamera
approximately 1.5 to 2 m above theground.
• Set thefunction selector to TEST mode and press [ ] to turn on thelaser pointer
and use it as avisual aid to aim thecamera.
For best results
• Thecamera is affected by temperature. Thecapacity and range of thePIR sensor is
affected by theambient temperature relative to theanimal’s body heat. Thegreater
thedifference, theeasier it is for thecamera to detect movement over alonger distance.
• Thecamera takes colour images in daylight and black and white ones in darkness.
• Bear in mind where thesun rises/sets, and position thecamera with thesun
behind it. This will prevent direct light spoiling your photos. If possible, position
thecamera in anortherly direction to prevent direct light spoiling your photos and
false indications from thePIR sensor.
• Remove any twigs in front of thecamera; twigs with leaves on them can cause
false indications.

PIR Interval (interval until re-activation after adetection)
Upon activation thecamera takes aset number of still images (or avideo sequence),
but if themotion detector detects movement all thetime, thecamera will continue
to make exposures of thesame subject in uninterrupted fashion. There is therefore
theoption of setting atime delay until thenext activation of thecamera.
1. Select how long there should be between
thelast activation of thecamera and next
re-activation. Settings range from 0 sec to
60 min using [◄1 ] or [►3 def].
2. Press [OK] to confirm (or [MENU] to discontinue).
