Remote Control
When the Emergency button is pressed, YOYOCam calls the Master and any added Emergency
numbers up to three times in sequence until the call is answered, at which point the audio from
YOYOCam is heard.
SMS/MMS mode can be used as an alternative. When the Emergency button is pressed YOYOCam
acknowledges with a bleep, and sends an SMS alert followed by an MMS with an image to the
Master and each added Emergency number.
See Emergency Button for further information.
Note: The remote control needs to be paired with YOYOCam before use – see Pairing your
YOYOCam with a Remote Control.

Default Sensor and Alarm Behaviour
When armed, YOYOCam will raise the alarm when a sensor is triggered. By default, the built-in
infrared body sensor is enabled and camera movement detection is disabled. See Sensor Settings for
more information.
When a sensor triggers the alarm, YOYOCam sends an SMS to the Master followed by an MMS with
images. Other options include voice call and E-Mail alarms.Detector, image and alarm settings can be
configured. For more information, see Alarm Settings.
STEP 4 – Refine YOYOCam Settings
Here are some of the settings that you may like to change in order to configure YOYOCam to your
needs.
Optimize image settings
By default, YOYOCam takes five images at an interval of 0.5 seconds between each shot. The image
size is 320 x 240 pixels. You may wish to have fewer images at higher resolution, e.g.2 images at 640
x 480 pixels. (2 images is the maximum at this resolution).
Command: #33#2#
Response: Number of Alarm images has been set to 2
Command: #32#3#
Response: Image size has been reset to 3 (Size 3 = 640 x 480 pixels)
For more information, see Image settings.
Configure the sensors which detect an alarm condition
By default, YOYOCam detects movement using the infrared body sensor. Camera movement
detection is also available.
Infrared Body Sensor:
Turn On: #118#1# (Default)
Response: Infrared sensor - enabled
Turn Off: #118#0#
Response: Infrared sensor – disabled
Camera Motion Detection:
Turn On: #22#1#
Response: Motion detection - enabled
Turn Off: #22#0# (Default)
Response: Motion detection – disabled
For more information, see Sensor Settings.

11
Configure how YOYOCam signals alarms
By default, YOYOCam sends SMS and MMS to the Master when an alarm is triggered. You can also
send alarms by E-mail and voice calling. Additionally, YOYOCam can be set to bleep when the alarm
is triggered. For more information, see Alarm Settings.
Change the Password
For security, you must immediately change the Password from the default of 1234 to your own value.
Command: #04#OldPassword#NewPassword#
Example: #04#1234#6789#
Response: Password was successfully changed to 6789
For more information, see Guest Users & Password.
Add users
Add users so that other people can also control YOYOCam, request images and dial in to hear audio
from YOYOCam.
Command: #06#UserNumber#
Example: #06#[phone]#
Response: [phone] USER phone number has been added
For more information, see Master, Users & Guests.
Add Remote Controls
Before the supplied Remote Controls work with YOYOCam, they must be paired. You can also
configure how YOYOCam responds when the Emergency button is pressed. See Using the Remote
Control for more information.

12
Interacting with YOYOCam
General Command Format
Commands and Parameters
Master and Users interact with YOYOCam by sending SMS messages that contain specially
formatted textual commands. YOYOCam typically responds with confirmation text by SMS. Where the
command is a request for images, these are sent by MMS or E-mail.
Generic format of a simple command:
Command: #CommandCode#
Example: #01#
Response: YOYOCam is armed
Generic format of a command that needs extra information (a parameter):
Command: #CommandCode#Parameter#
Response: SMS confirmation or images by MMS or E-mail
Example: #06#[phone]#
Response: [phone] USER phone number has been added
Note: There must never be any space characters in a command.
Generic format of a command taking multiple parameters:
Command: #CommandCode#Parameter1#Parameter2#Parameter3#Parameter4# …
Example: #106#[phone]#[phone]#[phone]#
Response: [phone]
[phone]
[phone]
Emergency phone number added
Note: Commands always begin and end with the # character, and a # separates each required
parameter.
Note: In some cases all parameters must be supplied; in others like the one above, as many
parameters as required can be supplied.
Telephone Numbers
Some commands require telephone numbers parameters, for example when adding a User or an
Emergency number. You can supply numbers in International format (recommended) or national
format.

13
For example:
International format: [phone]
National format: 0702222222
Note: Do not include spaces or any other character in phone numbers.
YOYOCam treats a number in International format as different from one in National format. For
example, if you send #06#[phone]# and #06#[phone]#, YOYOCam will not recognise
that they are both actually the same user, and will configure two users, one with the number in each
format.
Switch YOYOCam On and Off
Switching On YOYOCam
To switch on YOYOCam:
1. Slide the Power Switch to the UP position.
2. The Status Indicator is orange for a few seconds.
3. The Status Indicator turns red for approximately 3 seconds.

Battery and External Power Notifications
YOYOCam warns you by SMS when external power is connected and disconnected:
External power applied: External power – resumed
External power removed: External power lost. Running on battery.
For more information see SMS Notification when power supply changes.
Arm and Disarm YOYOCam
When YOYOCam is armed, it will raise the alarm when a sensor is triggered. When YOYOCam is
disarmed, it will not raise any alarms. YOYOCam is typically disarmed when the property is attended,
for example during working hours, when normal movements would cause only false alarms.
YOYOCam is armed when the property is unattended, for example outside office hours.
YOYOCam can be manually armed or disarmed. Alternatively YOYOCam can automatically arm and
disarm itself according to a schedule.

YOYOCam Settings
Master, Users & Guests
YOYOCam has three levels of user:
Master: has complete control over YOYOCam, receives alarms & notifications, and can
request images.
User: has some control over YOYOCam and can request images.
Guest: can request images using the Password supplied by the Master.
Master
The Master has complete control over YOYOCam and can use any command. The Master sets up
Users and configures YOYOCam as required. There is one Master. If necessary, someone else can
be the initial Master and perform the configuration, then use the Change Master Number command to
hand YOYOCam to the person who will be Master.
YOYOCam leaves the factory with no Master user defined. Performing a Factory Reset operation
also clears the Master user, and it must be set again as if for the first time.
To set Master user for the first time:
From your mobile phone, either:
1. Send an SMS with text #00# to YOYOCam.
2. YOYOCam confirms your phone as Master by SMS, Välkommen till YOYOCam. Lösen är
'1234', (Welcome to YOYOCam. The default password is 1234.) You are now the Master and
have full control over YOYOCam.
