This camera, a digital scouting camera with 4G function, is a digital in- frared surveillance camera, triggered by any movement of human or ani- mal monitored by a high sensitive Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor, and then automatically captures high quality pictures (up to 30M pixels) or records video clips (10800P HD). It sends pictures or videos (length 5-10 sec.) instantly to your mobile device or e-mail via WCDMA/GPRS network. You’ll be alerted just when the camera is triggered or per cus- tom settings. It takes color pictures or videos under sufficient daylight. While at night, the built-in infrared LEDs can help to take clear pictures or videos (mo- nochrome). There is a 3” color TFT display screen on the camera and a sound re- corder embedded in the camera. A laser pointer is used to help target the photo area of the camera in setup mode press left key (on/off). It is resistant against water and snow. The camera can also be used as a portable digital camera.

This camera can be used as an automatic surveillance device for guar- ding and recording unexpected intrusion to homes, shops, schools, de- pots, offices, taxis, work sites, etc. It can also be used as a trail camera for hunting or monitoring animals by recording the traces of wild ani- mals. It can be left alone for weeks and months and it will save event records automatically in digital format.

Take a few moments to familiarize with the camera controls and dis- plays. It is helpful to bookmark this section and refer to it when reading through the rest of the manual.30 Light Meter Mic Latch

The camera is supplied by the power adapter or 8 AA batteries. ➣ Please install batteries according to shown polarity. ➣ Please insert the SD card before power on camera. The camera has no internal memory for saving images or videos. The camera will not work if there is no SD card. ➣ Please make sure that your SIM card supports the GPRS data business. ➣ When going into the SETUP mode, allow approximately 10-20 seconds for the camera to acquire a signal. ➣ Please unlock the write-protect switch before inserting the SD card. ➣ Please do not insert or take out the SD card when the power switch is at ON position. ➣ It is recommended to format the SD card by the camera when used for the first time. Many other SD cards formatted by other cameras have poor compatibility with different brands of cameras. So it is best to format the SD card with this camera or on a computer. ➣ In the SETUP mode, the camera will shut down automatically after 3 minutes if no operation is done. Please turn on the power again if you want to continue to work with the control.34 3 Quick Start Guide

Hunting mode or outdoor use: use 8 or 4 AA batteries. High-density and high-performance alkaline or lithium batteries are recommended. Security mode or indoor use: use 6V/2A high quality power adapter. The battery can be just a backup for emergency use. Otherwise, the battery will be quickly consumed.

Setting Description Items Camera Mode There are three camera modes: Photo, Video or Pic+Video. You can enter the main menu to set the camera mode. If you choose Pic+Video mode, the camera takes a picture and a video. Photo Size Choose the image size: 30, 20 or 14 mega pixels. Video Size Choose the video size: 1920x1080,1280x720 or 640x480. Photo Burst This parameter affects the number of pictures taken for each triggering in camera mode. It’s from “1 Photo” to “2-6 Photos”. Video Length Choose duration of recording video. It’s from 10 seconds to 180 seconds. Set Clock Set camera date and time. You can change the date and time by setting this parameter when necessary, e.g., after every battery change. The date format is month/day/year, the time format is hour: minute: second. Time Lapse Time lapse means the camera can capture images or videos at a preset time interval regardless of whether motions are detected. The default parameter is Off, which means the timer function is disabled. Changing this parameter to a non-zero value turns on the Time Lapse mode, and camera will take photos at given time interval. Please note that if the PIR Trigger is set to Off, then the Time Lapse can’t be set to Off.39 PIR Trigger Choose sensitivity of the PIR. The higher sensitivity indicates that the camera is more easily triggered by motion and takes more pictures or records more videos. It is recommended to use high sensitivity in room or environ- ment with little interference, and to use lower sensitivity for outdoor or environment with lots of interference like hot wind, smoke, near window, etc. For normal use of the camera, the Normal mode is recommended and is the default setting. PIR Interval This parameter indicates how long the PIR (Passive Infrared motion sensor) will be disabled after each triggering in ON mode. During this time the PIR of the device will not react to the motion of human (or animal). The minimum interval is 0 second. It means the PIR can work all the time. The maximum interval is 1 hour. It means the PIR will be disabled for 1 hour after each triggering. Work Hour Choose a time period of a day to let the camera work. The camera will awake at the setting time duration in a day. In the rest of the time the camera is sleeping. Set Work Hour as off means the camera works all day. Send to There are 3 Send to modes: 1 Phone MMS: send images to mobile phone. 2 Email GPRS: send images to an e-mail address via GPRS use SMTP. 3 Call: calling your preset phone number when the camera is triggered. You should set your receiving phone number or your receiving e-mail address in the APP program to function it.40 Send Mode There are 4 SEND modes: “Manual” works in SETUP mode “Daily” and “Instant” work in ON mode. “OFF” means to close the communicate function.

Choose “Manual” in SETUP mode. Please ensure a SIM card is inserted properly. Video information can´t be send in the SETUP mode when you choose Phone MMS; but you can send photos or videos (VGA less than 10s) when you choose Email GPRS via WCDMA.

Daily means the camera will report the summarized information at a preset time (if the preset time is, eg. 20:00 PM) on how many pictures it had taken per day. So, you will get a summarized text message with the last picture taken until 20:00 PM. If it is on Photo or video mode, the camera will send a MMS at the preset time. The MMS will show you the latest photo and the total quatity of the pictures taken. If it is on Video mode, the camera will send a SMS or video at the preset time. The SMS will show you how many video clips the camera has taken within 24 hours. If you choose “Daily”, you need to set the daily report time: xxH, xxM.

Instant, just works in ON mode, which means the camera will send a MMS to your phone instantly after it captures a photo or to your email with avideo (VGA less than 10 sec.). You can choose the number of pictures you want it to send out per day. If it is on Photo mode and you choose the Instant MMS mode, and set the MAX number as 10, the camera will send 10 MMS within 24 hours. It then continues to capture photos and save them on the SD card. After 24 hours, the camera will send MMS again when it captures photos. If it is on Video mode, the Camera will send only SMS instead of MMS when send to is set as Phone MMS. If you choose “Instant”, you need to set how many MMS you want to send for economic consideration.

4. “Off”: to disable MMS function.41

SMS Control SMS Control can enable two way communication function. It means if you choose SMS Control as ON, this camera can receive and respond your SMS command. Also you can retrieve live pictures any time. But the power consumption will be a little bigger than normal hunting status. Game Call It means this camera can play audio file at a preset time clock for preset times. The audio file must be saved in the directory of \DCIM\100BMCIM\ with a name of AUDIOxxxx (from 0000 to 9999). WAV after format the SD card and setting the game call as on mode, or choose the audio file in Windows APP. Note that Game Call will not function if the SD card is full.. Language Choose the language you need. Beep Sound Enable or disable the beep sound. Camera Posit You can set A-Z position for your camera, so that you can distinguish which photo is taken by which camera. Format SD Format the SD card. All images and videos in the SD card will be deleted. Default Set Restore all customer settings to default values. Version Version information42

Is the camera broken? Figure 5 IR-cut filter A: The camera is not broken. It’s an IR-cut filter. When the camera is powered on, the IR-cut will be reset and cover the lens. Only when the camera is powered off, the IR-cut will be at a random place. 2 The camera controller is not working anymore. A: Most likely, no SD card has been inserted in the camera when it is turned on. Please make sure a working SD card has been inserted in the camera before it is turned on. 3 The display screen is suddenly black. A: To reduce power consumption, the camera will shut down auto- matically after 3 minutes if no operation is done. Please turn on the power again if you want to continue to work with the control. 4 Why my phone can’t receive MMS? A: MMS/GPRS function needs the SIM cards in both your camera and phone to have enough balance and to be opened to data business.

1. The file means the image file. It shows that the

ystem can’t find the image file when sending the MMS. Just when the system is unstable, it will happen (very small probability). Suggestion:

1. When the GSM and GPRS signal are both OK,

please resend again.

2. When the GSM and GPRS signal are poor, please

change a place to try again;

3. If 1 and 2 do not work and the error code 3919

This is a inner use error, we have the correct programmer design, so it won’t happen in the consumer’s side. Suggestion: If it always shows 3926,3927 or 3928, maybe there is a hardware defect. Please send camera back for repair (very small probability).50 Code Meaning Description 3939 Failed to open Possible cause: 3941 network; 1. The GSM network is not good or not well 3942 Network not covered with the GPRS network. deactivated; 2. The instability in signal transmission leads Network error to some MMS setting parameters missing when the GSM base station do the data analysis. If for the incorrect transmission reason, the camera may show various error code. Suggestion:

1. Contact the network provider if the GPRS network is

well covered in that area.

2. Change a place to try again. It’s better to try in a

public place, where there is always good signal.

3. If the provider said there is GPRS signal covered but

the signal is weak, you can try to use a enhanced antenna that is SMA type with antenna gain of 10db. -85 Not enough balance Possible cause: in SIM card; 1. The SIM card is not enough balance. MMS setting error; 2. Not correct settings. 3.The GSM network is not good leading to a timeout problem (very small probability). Suggestion: 1.Please check to make sure your SIM card has enough balance.

2. Please check the MMS settings
