4 SIM card (AIRTIME / DATA / PIN code OFF)
The camera is designed to instantly transmit triggered footage once the photo or video is taken by using available
cellular network signal and you can choose either of the following;
1. MMS photos to up to 4 different cell phone numbersor (uses AIRTIME);
2. Images / short video clips (max 10 sec length) to up to 4 x different email address (uses DATA).
PLEASE NOTE: SMS commands for remote controlling the camera also require AIRTIME on the SIM.
- Make sure you have a network enabled and registered SIM card and that AIRTIME / DATA are loaded onto it.
-Be sure that the PIN Code is OFF from the SIM card before inserting SIM card to camera. (You can disable the
PIN of a SIM card via your mobile phone.Then reinsert the card into your camera).
5 Installing the SIM card and SD card
The UM785 camera has no internal memory storage space to store pictures / video clips. You need to insert a SD
memory card to let the camerawork correctly. Standard size SD and SDHC (High Capacity) cards up to a maximum
32GB capacity are supported (Micro-SD memory cards with adapters are NOT recommended).
Using high speed SD cards (SanDisk3 Ultra3 or Extreme3 series or similar) is recommended if you will use the
1280x720 or 1920x1080 video settings.
Make sure the power switch is OFF before you insert the SIM card or SD card into camera.
The camera will not turn on
without a SD card inside.
Make sure the write-protect switch on the side of the card is “off” (NOT in the “Lock” position).
NOTE: Every photo taken by this camera will be saved to the SD card even those that have been transmitted to the
recipients. You will always have access to high resolution photos on the SD card. The SD card can be over written
in the MENU settings to ensure continued cycle use.
