(1280x720, 60fps) and WVGA(848x480, 60fps) videos. Default set is 720PHD.
Figure 24 Video Size Figure 25 Video size

too many redundant images. Options are 0-60 seconds (5 second increments) and 1-60 minutes.

useful for constant monitoring of an area that might be far away from the camera. The interval time between each
photo/video is set in submenu Time Lapse. It sets the time lapse interval between each photo/video, when the

9 Trouble Shooting
COMMON ERROR MESSAGES:
“SEND FAIL”
“NETWORK BUSY”
Reasons for error:
1) The service in your area is not sufficient to run the camera.
2) There is an error when setting up the SIM card or it’s locked.
3) Your dataplan for SIM card is not sufficient (too slow speed from the operator)
Suggestions to remedy:
1) Re‐do the UOV Set‐up to make 100% sure there aren’t any mistakes, check to be sure the numbers and e‐mail
addresses are correct.
2) Contact your network provider and make sure your SIM card is aText Feature Package only and is UNLOCKED.
3) If it’s a cellular service issue you may need to purchase a booster antenna to help boost the signal. These can be
very effective in boosting the signal to your camera in a poor signal area.
“Network Busy:”
Reasons for error:
1) There is a problem with the phone number or email addresses.
2) There is not enough money on the SIMcard plan.
Suggestions to remedy:
1) Re‐do the UOV setup. Make sure there are no mistakes.
2) Sometimes you need to go back to just one phone number or e‐mail address at a time to find where the error is.
Test with just one and if it works, then add more and test.
3) Call in and re‐up your text plan with more texts.
Cannot access the SETUP menu:
Reasons for issue:
1) This only happens if you don’t have a SD card in the card slot or if the SD card is corrupt.
2) Batteries are too low
Suggestions to remedy
1) Install a SD card or Install a new SD card
2) Replace the batteries.
10 Tricks and tips on field setup
For best results, mount the camera approximately 1.3m/4ft off the ground facing straight forward as level as
possible.
- To enhance the flash, we recommend positioning the camera in an area with a backdrop to reflect the maximum
amount of light. For instance, place the camera 7m-10m/20ft‐30ft from a field edge facing the woods. For the inside
of timber, positioning the camera facing a thicket approximately 7m-10m/20ft‐30ft away.
- Try to set the camera up so it’s not facing directly into the sun either in the morning or the evening when game
movement is at its peak.
