1. INTRODUCTION
The Mobeye Argos is an easy to install alarm system that will notify you about an
activation using the built-in GSM communication module.
To use the Mobeye Argos you will need a SIM-card from any network.
Typical applications are the security of places without any power supply or the temporary
security of properties.
The Mobeye Argos has the following features:
Alarm notifications after movement detection
In case of the detection of an intruder, the Mobeye Argos will send an SMS text message to your phone(s). The
Mobeye Argos will also call the phone numbers in order to be sure the message is not missed. It is also possible to
set on the siren sound. After an alarm the Mobeye will be in standby status for about 5 minutes. Following the
standby period, the Mobeye will resume alerting you to new movement.
Alarm notifications after detection of out of range temperature
It is possible to program a minimum and/or maximum temperature alert in to the Mobeye Argos. The system will
monitor the actual temperature of its environment and send an alert as soon as the temperature reaches the limit.
Battery operated or using the mains
Although the Mobeye Argos is designed to run on batteries, it is possible to use an external power supply. When
powering the Mobeye Argos with mains, it notifies the first set telephone number if the power fails and that it has
switched to battery backup. It is also possible to remotely control the system when using mains power.
Connecting external sensors and devices
In addition to the integrated movement sensor and temperature sensor, external sensors can be connected. The
Mobeye Argos can also switch external devices connected to it via the outputs when an event triggers it (like an
alarm or incoming call).
Private numbers or Mobeye Internet Portal
The Mobeye Argos sends alarm messages to a maximum of five telephone numbers. As an option the Mobeye
Argos can be connected to the Mobeye Internet Portal, which is explained in chapter 11.
Low battery message
The Mobeye Argos will send an SMS text message when the batteries need to be replaced. When receiving this
message, you need to change the batteries as soon as possible, although the Mobeye Argos remains functioning
for a short time following the message. Even when the Mobeye Argos is unset, it will measure the battery strength
and send the message.

2. TO GET READY IN FOUR STEPS
To get started with the Mobeye Argos only four steps are needed.
1.Place the SIM card in the Mobeye Argos.
Make sure this SIM card is not secured by a PIN code.
2.Insert the four batteries.
3.Enter at least one phone number in the Mobeye Argos.
4.Check the settings
In this chapter these steps are explained.
2.1 STEP 1: SIM CARD
To use the Mobeye Argos a SIM card from any network is needed. On this SIM card, the PIN
code security needs to be disabled or 0000. If you have a SIM card with PIN code, you can
disable or change this using any mobile phone and change the PIN code security. Please
consult the manual for that mobile phone for the procedure.
The SIM card needs to be inserted before the batteries. When using a prepaid SIM card, take
note of the available credit. Additionally it is wise to set a recurrent test message in the menu
so the card will be used at least once a month.
Open the back cover
Insert the SIM card in the holder. For opening/closing, move the cover slightly.
2.2 STEP 2: INSERTING THE BATTERIES
Insert the four lithium 3,0 volt batteries (CR123). When replacing the batteries, all settings remain unchanged.
After inserting the SIM card and the batteries, the Mobeye Argos will perform a self test taking 1 minute. During the
test, the light is red.
If the light is flashing red, a problem with the SIM card is detected. A reason could be no SIM card was placed, or
the PIN code security of the SIM card was not disabled.
Close the Mobeye Argos using the 4 screws.
2.3 STEP 3: PROGRAM THE PHONE NUMBERS
You need to program at least one phone number in the unit as alarm number.
Enter your 4 digit code (factory setting: “1111”)
Press “menu”
Enter “101”
Press “OK”
Enter the phone number (e.g. 0712345678 or 0044712345678)
Press “OK”
The light turns green and a confirmation melody is played.
The Mobeye Argos is ready to use.
2.4 STEP 4: CHECK THE SETTINGS
The settings can be sent to the programmed telephone number as SMS text message. In this way you also check
the correct working of the SIM card.
Enter your 4 digit code (factory setting: “1111”)
Press “menu”
Enter “10”
Press “OK”
Within ca. 30 seconds the programmed phone number will receive the list with settings.

3. INTRUDER ALARM: OPERATION
3.1 SWITCHING ON AND OFF
To activate the Mobeye Argos movement detector, use the installation code or user code.
Enter your code
Press “OK”
The light turns red shortly and an indication tone is started. This repetitive tone will last during the exit delay of 60
seconds. As soon as the acoustic signal stops, the Mobeye Argos is active.
- If the code is entered incorrectly 3 times, the indicator turns red and the Mobeye Argos will be blocked for 10
minutes.
- The action can be interrupted at any time, by twice pressing “OK”.
- The entry indication and siren are off as factory default. Look at the next chapter how to activate them.
To de-activate the Mobeye Argos movement detector with your code.
Enter your code
Press “OK”
The light switches to green and a confirmation melody is played.
The system needs to be switched on and off using the same code; the installation code and user code are not
interchangeable.
3.2 ALARM MESSAGE, CONFIRMATION AND LISTEN-IN
When the armed system detects a movement, it first waits for the entry delay period and then it alarms. During the
entry delay the GSM module starts to establish a connection to the network. If the system was not disarmed, the
alarm messages follow. First an SMS text message is sent to all programmed alarm numbers; next a phone call is
made to the numbers. When you answer the phone, a beep tone is heard.
Confirm using “1”
It is possible to confirm the phone call by answering the phone and pressing “1“. The other alarm numbers will not
be called afterwards.
Listen-in using “9”
It is possible to start a listen-in connection by answering the phone call and pressing “9”. You will then be able to
hear anything in the immediate vicinity of the Mobeye Argos. If the siren was set to “loud”, it is stopped. After two
minutes one hears two short beeps; if one presses “9” again, the listen-in is extended by another two minutes. By
pressing “9” the call is confirmed as well and the other alarm numbers will not be called afterwards.

4.2 INSTALLATION CODE
The installation code is the 4-digit code for switching on/off and programming the settings or activating the special
functions. Factory default is “1111”. It is possible to change the code to any 4-digit number. Please change the code
to make the unit more secure.
4.3 USER CODE
The Mobeye Argos offers the possibility to set a personal 4-digit user code, for just arming and disarming the
system. It is not possible to change the settings with the user code. The system needs to be switched on and off
using the same code; the installation code and user code are not interchangeable. Factory settings for the user
code is “8888”. This code can be changed by the installation code or user code (menu number 50). We recommend
that you change this code to make the unit more secure.

8
4.4 SMS CUSTOM TEXT
It is possible to add a custom text in the SMS text messages, to identify the Mobeye Argosunit that sent the
message. The second part of the SMS text message contains a standard text like ‘Mobeye alarm’, or ‘Test message
OK’. The custom text will be written before the standard text.
This custom text (max. 20 characters) is programmed by sending an SMS to the Mobeye Argos. Changing the
custom text cannot be done via the keypad, only via sending an SMS text message.
Switch the Mobeye Argos into the programming mode. In this mode the GSM module is switched on and is able to
receive messages.
Enter your 4-digit personal code. (factory setting: “1111”)
Press “menu”
Press “21” -> light turns green
Press “OK”
First the light flashes red (interval ca. 1 sec). As soon as the light turns green, the Mobeye Argos is able to receive
SMS-messages.
To program the custom text, send an SMS in following structure:
1111 NAME:myowntext
-‘1111’ stands for the installation code (1111)
-‘NAME’ is a standard command (capitals)
-Replace ‘myowntext’ by a self-defined text (max. 20 characters)
-Be aware of the space after 1111 and the colon after NAME
You will hear two short beeps in case of a correct command.
Leave the menu by pressing “OK” twice.
4.5 TELEPHONE NUMBERS
Up to five telephone numbers can be programmed in to the Mobeye Argos. In the event of an alarm the Mobeye
Argos first sends an SMS text message to all numbers, next they are called. It is possible to confirm the call, after
which the other numbers will not be called anymore. Or to start a listen-in connection.
Note: The first telephone number is required, the others are optional.
4.6 SMS ON/OFF
By default, the Mobeye Argos sends alarm notifications via text message and calls to the preset contact persons.
By turning off the SMS, the unit will only call after the movement sensors sends an alarm. Regardless of this setting
the temperature alarm always sends an SMS including the actual temperature.
4.7 CALL ON/OFF
By default, the Mobeye Argos sends alarm notifications via text message and calls to the preset contact persons.
By turning off the CALL, the unit will only send an SMS text message as alarm notification. It is not possible to
switch off both the SMS and the call.
4.8 SENSOR SENSITIVITY
The detectors’ sensitivity can be changed to a high or low value.
1= High
2 = Low
In the high sensitivity mode each detection will generate an alarm. In the lower sensitivity mode the alarm will be
generated only when the detector is activated twice in any 15 second period. This mode prevents false alarms in
case of e.g. draught and is most suitable if the sensor is directed towards an open space.
4.9 ENTRY DELAY
It is possible to choose from 5 entry delay times (1,15, 30, 45 and 60 seconds). The entry delay is the time between
the moment of detection and the moment of sending the first SMS text message.
Important note: If the GSM network has low signal strength, the time can be longer as the network connection may
not be established within the time of the entry delay.

9
4.10 ENTRY INDICATION
No entry indication is set as the factory default. It is possible to hear an indication beep during the entry delay. This
can be used as a reminder that the Mobeye is in active mode. It is also possible to just let the LED indicator flash a
few times, as an indication for the user.
4.11 SIREN
After the entry delay, the siren can sound for two minutes. At the same time the SMS text messages and telephone
calls will be sent. At soon as the Mobeye is switched off, the siren will stop. The siren is set to silent as the factory
default.
4.12 EXIT INDICATION
Upon arming the system, you have one minute to leave the room. The PIR is not active yet and an exit indication
sounds. It is possible to change this to a silent exit time. A short beep is heard and the LED flashes red during the
exit time.
4.13 INTERVAL TEST MESSAGE
The Mobeye Argos can send test messages. Through these ‘keep alive’ reports you will be informed about the
status of your Mobeye Argos. You can set the interval between the test reports.This is adjustable between 0 (no test
reported) and 30 (every 30 days a test message). Note: the interval of 1 day will result in a daily test message; the
exact time between the messages will be about 24 hours.
The smaller the interval between the test reports, the shorter is the battery life. The test message only works if the
system is on or a temperature limit is set.
4.14 SET ACTUAL TIME AND DATE
If the system is to be armed automatically, the internal clock time needs to be correct. Some Telecom providers
offer this in the network, to be synchronised by the Mobeye Argos during the start-up and after sending test
messages. It is possible to set the time and date manually. To view the clock time, send a list of the settings to the
first programmed phone number (CODE MENU 10 OK).
4.15 AUTOMATIC TIME-BASED ARM/DISARM
The Mobeye Argos can be armed and/or disarmed based on a daily time schedule. If the exit indication was set to
‘silent’, the system makes no noise during arming and disarming. The first telephone number needs to be set before
the arming and/or disarming time can be set.
4.16 INACTIVE TIME AFTER A MOVEMENT DETECTION
The “PIR inactive time” is the time the movement sensor is inactive after having seen and reported movement. If the
time is set to “5” (minutes), the sensor will only report new movements after a minimum of 5 minutes after the
previous movement.
The inactive time can be set in minutes from 0 to 999. As factory default the inactive time is set to “5”.

5.2 MONITORING THE TEMPERATURE LIMITS
The Mobeye Argos is able to send a temperature alarm as soon as the actual temperature reaches a programmed
min. or max. level. This function can be used independently of the motion detection. As soon as the temperature is
too high or too low, an SMS text message is sent, followed by a telephone call. As long as the out of range
temperature remains, the report will be repeated every four hours (factory default). Once the temperature is back to
normal, the Mobeye Argos confirms this to you.
This function is active as soon as a temperature limit is programmed. By resetting the limits, the function becomes
inactive.
5.3 ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE
The built-in temperature sensor may have a standard deviation of the actual temperature. In this case, the deviation
will be similar at all temperatures. It is possible to correct the temperature deviation in the Mobeye Argos. In the
SMS setting summary, you see the reported temperature. If a correction is specified, it is processed in the displayed
temperature; the correction factor itself is displayed separately.
Example: Mobeye temperature: 13 °C. Actual temperature: 14 °C. To correct this deviation, one degree should be
added.
5.4 DELAY TIME
The temperature delay time defines the duration a temperature limit is exceeded before an alarm is initiated. If the
temperature returns to the non-alarm status within the delay time, no alarm is sent. The delay time can be set
between 0 and 999 minutes.
As default, the temperature delay time is set to 0 minutes.
5.5 ALARM REPEAT
In order to emphasize the urgency of the alarm messages, the temperature alarm (and alarms on the inputs 1 and
2) can be repeated. As long as the alarm status has not returned to the inactive status, the SMS alarm will be
repeated after the ‘alarm repeat time’ (as long as the alarm SMS is “ON”). In the repeated temperature alarm
message the actual temperature is mentioned as well, to follow the temperature development. The time can be set
between 0 and 24 hours. As default the alarm repeat time is set to 4 hours.

This search function can take a few minutes. If you want to leave the function before it is ready, please press “OK”
twice.
Warning
In the event of a weak signal, the Mobeye Argos can still be used, but there is a risk that messages cannot be sent
or will be received with a delay. In case of no signal, it is advised to try a different network.

13
7. CONNECTING SENSORS, DEVICES AND EXTERNAL POWER
In addition to the integrated movement sensor and temperature sensor, external sensors can be connected as
alarm input. The Mobeye Argos can also switch external devices connected to it via the outputs when an event
triggers it (like an alarm or incoming call).
And although the Mobeye Argos is designed to run on batteries, it is possible to use an external power supply in
order to report power failure and to remotely control the system.
In following chapters the inputs, outputs and external power settings are explained. Please find below the
architecture of the main unit.

The input type defines the character of the inputs IN1 and IN2. This can be Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed
(NC). If an input is set to NO, the alarm will be triggered as soon as the terminals of the input are closed. If the input
is set to NC, the alarm is triggered if the connection between the input terminals is broken. The default input type is
set to NO.
8.4 INPUT DELAY TIME
The input delay time defines the time that the inputs are triggered before an alarm is initiated. If the input returns to
the non-alarm status within the delay time, no alarm is sent. The delay time can be set between 0 and 999 seconds.
As default, the input delay time is set to 1 second.
8.5 INACTIVE TIME
The “inactive time” defines the time the movement sensor, input 1 or input 2 is not active after an activation. If the
time is set to “0” (minutes), the input is active again immediately after returning to the non-alarm status. If the time is
set to e.g. 30 minutes, the input remains inactive for the first 30 minutes. If the input is again (or still) activated after
these 30 minutes, a new alarm message is sent. The inactive time can be set between 0 and 60 minutes. As
default, the inactive time is set to “5” for all inputs.
8.6 PIR SENSOR ON/OFF
If the inputs are in use, it could be useful to de-activate the integrated movement sensor (PIR). The Mobeye Argos
will then cease activating alarms when movement is detected until this function is reinstated. As factory settings the
PIR is ON.
8.7 ALARM REPEAT
See 5.5 for explanation.

9. EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
Although the Mobeye Argos is designed to run on batteries, it is possible to use an external power supply (9-
24VDC). In this mode the module is always in connection with the GSM network. The advantage of external power
is the longer battery lifetime, to receive power failure messages and the possibility to perform remote actions, like
arm/disarm, switch the outputs, ask status reports and to program it via SMS-commands. Be aware: the PIR sensor
will be slightly less sensitive when using external power supply.
1) Replace the white
grommet with the rubber
ring (using a tool)
2) Insert the 2 wires through the hole
to the inside part and in to the two
connectors (press the orange pins):
V+ to “+”
“Ground” to “-“
3) Be sure the wires are
laid between the tapped
holes and the wall of the
casing before closing.
Article 10027: black wire with white line is “+”, black wire is “-“

9.2 SENSITIVITY PIR
Using an external power source, the internal PIR sensor will react slight slower after detecting movements, even
when the sensitivity is set to ‘high’. Be sure the sensor is positioned well, so the intruder can be seen while walking
or working. Please test the PIR positioning to ensure the PIR detects you in the areas you are trying to secure.
9.3 POWER FAILURE MESSAGE
Upon a power outage the batteries take over functioning. A ‘power failure’ SMS text message is sent to the first
telephone number. The GSM module turns to the low power status, meaning it closes and only establishes network
connection in case it needs to send a message (alarm, test, battery low).
The power failure message can be deactivated (OFF). As factory default the power failure message is set to ‘ON’.

17
9.4 POWER FAILURE DELAY TIME
The power failure delay time defines the time that the power fails before an alarm is initiated. If the power is
restored within the delay time, no alarm is sent. The delay time can be set between 0 and 60 minutes. As default,
the delay time is set to 1.
9.5 AUTHORISATIONS AND REMOTE CONTROL
When connected to an external power, the GSM module is active all the time, able to receive SMS commands. This
enables both programming and remote control. Remote control actions are: arming, disarming and switching the
outputs. As prerequisite for remote control the ‘controlling telephone number’ needs to be authorised. . A maximum
of ten numbers can be authorised via keypad or SMS command. If it is not clear what memory positions are
available, it is possible to add a new number by the SMS command ‘ADDTELA’ . The new number takes the first
free position. To receive a list with the authorised numbers, please refer to paragraph 14.3.
SMS-commands for remote control (no code is necessary, but numbers need to be authorised):
Arm: ARM
Disarm: DISARM
Switch on output 1: O1ON
Switch off output 1: O1OFF

18
10. OUTPUTS
The Mobeye Argos has two outputs (O1 and O2).These relay outputs can switch external devices. The maximum
load is 2A/30V per output.
Output 1 is free to use for an external device. Switching the relay can be done in several ways: after an alarm, upon
arming, upon disarming or remote (via SMS or call).
Output 2 (O2) is configured for an external siren. This output reacts similar to the internal siren; if this is set to
‘silent’, O2 does not react. Upon a (loud) alarm, it switches for 2 minutes.
1) Replace the white grommet
with the rubber ring (using a
tool)
2) Insert the 2 wires through the hole in
to the terminal connectors (press the
orange pins):
3) Be sure the wires are
laid between the tapped
holes and the wall of the
casing before closing
the casing.

10.2 DURATION OF OUTPUTS: SWITCH OR PULSE TIMES
If an output is used, the time this output is activated can be set between 1 and 999 seconds. If the setting is set to 0,
the output does not return to its previous state automatically. An authorised number can switch it back by the SMS
command O1OFF (see 9.5). In the factory settings the duration of the pulse time for output 1 is “0”and for output 2
“120”.

19
10.3 SWITCH BEHAVIOR
The reason why output 1 is switched can be configured. Choices are: switch by remote control (RC), switch when
arming the Mobeye Argos (ARMED), switch when disarming the Mobeye Argos (DISARMED), switch upon an
intruder alarm (alarm on PIR, IN1 or IN2), switch upon a temperature alarm (temp). For remote control (switch via
SMS-commands, please refer to 9.5), the senders’ telephone number needs to be authorised. In the factory settings
the switch behaviour of output 1 is set to ‘RC’.
10.4 AUTHORISING TELEPHONE NUMBERS
For remote control by telephone (arm, disarm, switch outputs), the telephone numbers need to be ‘authorised’. A
maximum of ten numbers can be authorised via keypad or SMS command. In case it is not clear which memory
position is free, it is possible to add a new number by the SMS command ‘ADDTELA’ . The new number takes the
first free position. To receive a list with the authorised numbers, please refer to paragraph 14.3.
