SETTING UP THE CAMERA
QUICK START GUIDE
1. Install camera’s antenna.

SIM Card
For cameras with a single SIM, the card may or may not be pre-installed. Cameras
packaged with two SIMs allow you to select a carrier that works strongest in the
area of your camera’s location. NOTE: SIM cards are exclusively paired to a camera
at the time of manufacture, so please do not remove, swap, or replace with a
different SIM card.
Activation of your camera can be done conveniently through the REVEAL mobile
app during setup.

camera name. Then choose “Camera Settings”.
Make sure to select “Apply Settings” when done to
save your changes.
Note: In camera’s SETTINGS > Settings Check,
Daily mode will check settings every 24 hours.
