Figure1.3:BackViewofLtl5210MandFrontViewofBatteryBox
CAUTION:Ifyouarenotusingthecameraforanextendedperiodoftime,itishighly
recommendedthatyouremovethebatteriesfromthecameratoavoidpossibleacidleak
thatmaydamagethecamerawhichwouldvoidthewarranty.

QuickStart
6
QUICKSTART
2.1InsertSIMCard(OnlyforModelLtl5210MM)
YouneedtopurchasetheSIMcardfromyour
local Mobile Phone Network Operators
(MPNO), making sure they provide
MultimediaMessagingService(MMS).Ask
them for the relevant information to
configuretheMMSsettingsonyourcamera.
(Pleasereference3.4SetupMMSFunction
onPCintheAdvancedOperationsection.)
Open the battery compartment cover, slide
theSIMcardintheslotandlockit.
Figure21MMSmoduleBatteryBox
2.2LoadBatteries
Toinstallbatteriesonthecamera(Part#Ltl5210M),pleasefollowtheinstructionsbelow.
· Openthebottomcoverbypullingdownthelockhole.
· Pushthecoverofthebatterycompartmentandrelease.Itwillpopout.
· Install4AAbatteries.Makesurethepolaritymatchesthesignonthecover.
· Replacethecover.
To install the battery box (Part # LTLBM1 or LTLMM1), please reference Appendix III:
InstructionsonInstallingBatteryBox.
Alternativelythecameracanrunonanexternal6V~12VDCpowersource(optional).Whenboth
external power and batteries are connected, the camera will be powered by the external one
preferentially.Hooked upwithour externalsolarpanel(purchased separately), thecameracan
workinthefieldoveroneyearwithoutchangingbatteries.
Whenbatterylevelgetslow,the MotionIndicatorintheLEDarraywillflashblue.TheMMS
Wirelesscamerawill automaticallysend aBattery Lowtextalertto theusers cellphone or
emailaccount.
2.3InsertSDCard
Thecameradoesnotcomewithinternalmemory.SoitwillnotworkwithoutaSD(SecureDigital)
memorycardorSDHC(HighCapacity)card.BeforeinsertingtheSDcardintothecard

The MENU onthekeypadallowsyoutoprogramthecameratoworkthewayyouwant.Please
makereferenceto3.1ParameterSettingsintheAdvancedOperationsection.

QuickStart
8
Under the test mode, one useful function you would like is testing the work area of the PIR
(PassiveInfrared)sensor,specificallythesensingangleanddistance.Toperformthetest:
· Firststrapthecameraonatreeaimingtheregionofinterest(ROI).
· WalkslowlyfromonesideoftheROItotheotherparalleltothecamera.Trydifferent
distancesandanglesfromthecamera.
· IftheMotionIndicatorflashesblue,itindicatesthepositionfromwhereyouaredetected
byoneofthesidePrepPIRsensors.IftheMotionIndicatorflashesred,itindicatesthe
positionfromwhereyouarecapturedbythemainPIRsensor.
By doing this test, you can find the best placement when mounting and aiming the Ltl Acorn
camera.Ingeneral,youarerecommendedtoplacethecamera3to6feet(1to2meters)abovethe
ground.
Toavoidpotentialfalsetriggersduetotemperatureandmotiondisturbances,pleasedonotaimthe
cameraataheatsource(i.e.thesun)ornearbytreebranchesandlimbs.Theidealdirectiontoaim
atisNorthorSouth.Also,removeanylimbsclosetothefrontofthecamera.
2.5EnterLiveMode
SwitchtotheONpositiontoenterthelivemode.TheMotionIndicatorwillflashredforabout10
secondsandthecamerastartsworkingbyitselfwithoutanymanualhandling.Itwillatonceshoot
picturesorrecordvideoswhengameorotherobjectsenterthePIRareaofthemainsensordirectly.
If the game enters the PIR area of the prep sensors from the side, the prep sensors detectthe
movementandactivatethecamera.WhilethegamekeepsmovingintothePIRareaofthemain
sensor,thecameratakesphotos/videosimmediately.IfthegameroamsawayafterenteringthePIR
areaoftheprepsensors,thecamerawillpoweroffandenterstandbymode.
2.6AdvantagesofPrepSensors
Ingeneral,tosavebatterypower,anInferRedcameraisinsleepmode,withonlythePIRsensor
working.WhengameisdetectedbythePIRsensor,thecameraispoweredonandstartsshooting
pictures.Thetimeperiodfrombeingactivatedtostartingfiringiscalledtriggertime.Thetrigger
time varies among different scouting camera brands in the market, generally from 1 to 5 plus
seconds. Our Ltl Acorn scouting camera has an impressive 1.2 second trigger time. However,
whengamepassesacrossveryquickly,thepicturemayonlycapturetherearpartofthebody,and
possiblynothingatall.
WiththeuniquesideprepPIRsensorsdesign,ourLtlAcornsolvesthisissue.Thecombinationof
thetwosideprepsensorsandthemainsensorcomesupwitha100to120°angleofinduction,a
verywidescopefaroutweighingthe50°angleofthecameralens.Whengamefirstcrossesthe
PIRareaoftheprepsensor,thecameraisactivatedandreadytoshootafter1second.Ifthegame
continuallyentersinto thePIRareaofthemainsensor,the camera takespicturesimmediately,
thereforecatchingthewholebodyofthegame.Thissplitsecondprocesscouldbeasshortas0.2
second.

QuickStart
9
InthecasethegamebrowsesonlyinthePIRareaoftheprepsensors,toavoidthecamerabeing
poweredonconstantly,thesystemisdesignedtoworkinthefollowingway:Ifthegamedoesnot
enterthePIRareaofthemainsensorandthereforenottriggerthemainsensor,thecamerawill
poweroffafter3seconds.IfthetriggereventsconsecutivelyhappenedtwiceonlyinthePIRarea
oftheprepsensors,thecamerawillnotbeactivatedbythesideprepsensors,butonlybythemain
sensor.SolateronwhenthegameentersthePIRareaofthemainsensoreventually,sinceitisnot
infastmovement,thepicturewillbyallmeanscapturethewholebodyofthegamebasedonour
standard1.2secondresponsetime.
