GETTING STARTED
CHOOSING A POWER SOURCE (3 OPTIONS)
• Alkaline or lithium AA batteries
• Rechargeable battery 12 V (#KIT-12V sold separately)

rechargeable lithium battery pack, sold separately.
FOR BEST RESULTS AND NO LEAKAGE
• Use only new alkaline or lithium batteries.
• Do not mix new and old batteries.

(their lower voltage can generate operational issues).

• Unlock the latch and open the
LINK-MICRO-LTE door.
• Remove the battery compartment by
grasping it by the 2 small notches on
the side and pulling it out (see photo).

holder following polarity (+) and (-)
indications.

battery compartment.

INSTALLING A MICROSD CARD
The memory card is sold separately. You must first purchase
a class 10 microSD card between 2 GB and 32 GB of memory.
Before inserting the microSD card into your camera, it must be
formatted to ensure proper operations. Visit www.spypoint.com/
support if you need help to format your microSD card.
INSERTING YOUR MICROSD CARD
• Make sure the camera is turned OFF.
• Find the microSD card slot. It is located on
the left, above the battery compartment
(see photo).
• Insert a microSD card (up to 32 GB) in the
microSD card slot with the metal contacts
facing down.
• The card is inserted correctly when a click
is heard.
CLEAR THE ANTENNA
The camera comes with an antenna
mount that holds and protects the
antenna during shipping. You have
to remove it. This will allow you to move
and point your antenna in the desired
direction. Save and reuse the mount
to protect your antenna during future trips.

CHOOSING A PHOTO TRANSMISSION PLAN FOR YOUR CAMERA
Go to www.spypoint.com/en/spypoint-experience/plans
to read the latest oers and choose the plan that suits you.
CONFIGURING YOUR CAMERA
Both the SPYPOINT app and website let you congure all the
camera settings remotely. They also provide basic information
on your camera – such as: cellular signal strength, battery level,
and microSD card space used. This information is based upon
the latest connection with your camera.
New settings take eect every time the camera connects with
app or website.
Note that for 15 minutes after the camera is turned ON, it will
communicate with the server every time it takes a photo and will
also apply the settings you have chosen. Afterwards, it will com-
municate according to the default settings (transfer frequency/
rst transfer time) or those you chose to apply. Below are the
most basic settings you will congure.
CONFIGURATION: MAIN SETTINGS
Delay: Allows you to set the time interval between each detection
before the camera records the next photo or video.
Multi-shot: Allows you to set the number of photos per detection
(up to 2) with a 5-second delay between each photo.
Sensitivity: Allows you to set the detection sensitivity of the
camera.
Camera name: Allows you to name each owned camera.

CELLULAR SETUP
First transfer time:Allows you to choose the time when the
camera makes its rst transfer of the day.
Transfer frequency:Allows you to choose the number of daily
transfers.
ADVANCED OPTIONS/CONFIGURATION
Schedule:Allows you to set the period of operation for each day
of the week. For a 24-hour operation mode, both the start and
stop times must be 12 AM.
NOTE
Camera transfers are set by default to 4-hour intervals determined
from the time you activated your camera. For example, if your
camera was activated at 1:42p.m., the next transfer will take
place at 5:42p.m.
STARTING YOUR CAMERA
1. Turn ON the camera.
2. The green STATUS light will ash while searching for a signal
(can take a few minutes).
3. The STATUS light will light up in one of the following 3 colors:
Red: Insucient signal
Orange: Acceptable signal
Green: Optimal signal
4. When the top right light ashes red, 30 seconds remain
before the photo mode is turned ON. This allows you to leave
the area without being photographed.
