1.1 General Description

This camera, a digital scouting camera with black IR and MMS function, is a digital infrared surveillance camera, triggered by any movement of humans or animals monitored by a high sensitive Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor, and then automatically captures high quality pictures (up to 8M pixels) or records video clips (720P HD) according to default set- tings or preset customer settings. It will then send the pictures instantly to your mobile device or e-mail via GSM/GPRS network. You’ll be alerted just when the camera is triggered or per custom settings. It takes color pictures or videos under sufficient daylight. While at night, the built-in 940nm IR LEDs take clear pictures or videos (monochrome). It’s invisible to game. And this model has a new design of PIR and this new PIR is patented. There is a 1.5” color LCD display screen on the camera and a sound recorder embedded in the camera. A laser pointer is used to help target the photo area of the camera. It supports MMS/SMS/E-mail via GSM/GPRS Network. It is resistant against water and snow. The camera can also be used as a portable digital camera.

1.2 Camera Body Interfaces

The camera has the following I/O interfaces: USB connector, SD card Slot, TV output and external DC power connector. Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the camera controls and displays. It is helpful to bookmark this section and refer to it when rea- ding through the rest of the manual.24

The remote control is the input device for the ca- mera and is primarily used for customer settings and password input. This is an infrared type wi- reless remote control. The maximum remote di- stance is 30 feet. Fig. 1 Diagram of camera functional indicators Fig. 2 Remote control25 Note: The remote will not work properly without the antenna attached. When power on the camera, allow approxi- mately 10-20 seconds for the camera to ac- quire a signal. The remote will not function properly until the camera has acquired a si- gnal.

• Please install batteries according to shown polarity.

• Please unlock the write-protect before inserting the SD card.

• Please insert the SD card when the power switch is in the OFF position before testing the camera. The camera has no internal memory for saving images or videos. If no SD card is inserted, the camera will shut down automatically after a continuous indication sound.

• Please do not insert or take out the SD card when the power switch is in the ON position.

• It is recommended to format the SD card by the camera when used for the first time.

• The camera will be in USB mode when connected to a USB port of a computer. In this case, the SD card function is as a removable disk.

• In the TEST 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 remote.

• Please ensure there is sufficient power when having a firmware upgrade, otherwise the upgrade process could be interrupted and the camera may stop functioning properly 3 Quick Start Guide

To supply power for the camera, four or eight size AA batteries are nee- ded. The following batteries with 1.5V output can be used:

1. High-density and high-performance alkaline batteries

2. Rechargeable alkaline batteries

3. Rechargeable NiMH batteries

There are four battery slots. Slot 1 and 2 form one group and is marked “1”while slot 3 and 4 form the other group and is marked “2”. Only one “group” of batteries is needed to supply power to the camera, but both can be used and is recommended. When in a low-battery state, the camera will be automatically shut down after two indication sounds. Please change the batteries at this time. If you have set the MMS function, it will send you a MMS/SMS or Email to indicate the low battery situation.28 Fig.5 Battery install Dear Customer! Please note! Depending on battery regulations you are required to used or defective batteries and accumula- tors, at no cost to you, return it to us Every consumer is legally obliged to dis- pose of WEEE separately from the house- hold waste and to dispose of at a collection site of his community / City District for ex- ample.

3.5 Power on and Enter into the ON Mode

Slide the power switch to the ON position to power on the camera and enter into the ON mode. Before entering into the ON mode, you can ad- just the camera towards the target monitoring area by laser pointer. After switching on the camera, the motion indication LED (red) light will blink for about 10s. The 10s is a buffering time before automatically cap- turing photos or videos, e.g. for closing and locking the bottom cover, fixing the camera on a tree and walking away. The camera has the sound recording function, so the sound will be em- bedded in the video clip while capturing a video.30

When the camera is in ON mode, you can send text message “#T#” to your camera’s SIM card number to get an on spot image or use our Android application tools. Down load the Android control software (BGTools.zip) from our website. The specified web- site is written in the last page of the manual.

Slide the power switch to the OFF position to power off the camera. Please note that even in the OFF mode, the camera still consumes a small amount of battery power. Therefore, please remove the batteries if the camera is not in use for a length of time. 4 Advanced Operations From the basic operations of the camera previewed in the previous chapter, we know that the camera has three basic operation modes:

1. OFF mode: Power switch is in the OFF position.

2. ON mode: Power switch is in the ON position.

3. TEST mode: Power switch is in the TEST position.

In the above three modes, the OFF mode is the specified safe mode when replacing the SD card or batteries and transporting the camera. This chapter explains the advanced operations for customizing the ca- mera settings. The settings can only be customized in TEST mode and the wireless remote is needed.

To view the camera settings menu, press MENU in the TEST mode (cal- led settings menu in this chapter). The settings menu will be shown on the LCD of camera.32 Setting Items Description Language You can choose language you need. It supports four language: English, Finnish, German, Swedish Camera Mode Choose capturing images or recording videos. Set Clock Set camera date and time. You can change the date and time of the device 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. The valid value for year is between 2009 and 2050. Photo Size Choose the image size, e.g. 8 mega pixels or 5 mega pixels. Photo Burst Choose the continuous shooting numbers after each triggering. Video Size Choose the video size: 1280x720 or 640x480. Video Length Choose duration of recording video. This parameter is effective and can be adjusted only when the device in the video mode under ON mode. Its value extends from 1 to 60 seconds with a step of one second. The default value is 10 seconds. Press LEFT and RIGHT to decrease or increase the value by 1 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.33 PIR Trigger Choose sensitivity of the PIR sensor. This parameter defines the sensitivity of the PIR. There are four sensitivity parameters: High, Normal, Low and Off. The default value is “Normal”. The higher degree indicates that the Camera is more easily to be triggered by motion, taking more pictures or recording more videos. It is recommended to use high sensitivity degree in room or environment with little interference, and to use lower sensitivity for outdoor or environment with lots of interference like hot wind, smoke, near window etc. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the PIR is strongly related to the temperature. Higher temperature leads to lower sensitivity. Therefore it is suggested to set a higher sensitivity for high temperature environment. 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 animals). The minimum interval is 0 second, it means the PIR works all the time. The maximum interval is 1 hour. It means the PIR will be disabled for 1 hour after each triggering. Press LEFT or RIGHT to decrease or increase the value. 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.34 MMS Set The camera sends MMS message through GPRS network, so before using this function, you need to open GPRS service from your service provider. You should set the right MMS setting parameters. The settings of MMS: URL, APN, IP and Port. Please contact the network service provider if you are not familiar with the settings. GPRS Set The camera sends image through GPRS network with SMTP protocol to an Email address. Use this way the communication cost will be much cheaper in many countries. You should set the right GPRS setting parameters. The settings of GPRS: Email server port, APN and so on, please contact the network service provider if you are not familiar with the settings. Sende Mode There are 3 sending modes: “Manual”works in TEST mode，“Daily report”and“Instant”work in ON mode.

Choose“Manual” in Test mode. Please ensure a SIM card is inserted properly; Please note, only photos can be sent in TEST mode .Video information can’t be sent in TEST mode.

Daily Report works only in the ON mode, which means that the camera will report the summarized information at the preset time (if the preset time is, eg.20:00PM) on how many pictures it had taken per day. So, you will get a summarized text message with the last picture taken until 20:00PM. If it is on Photo mode, the camera will send a MMS at the preset time. The MMS will show you the latest photo and the total qty of the pictures get taken. If it is on Video mode, the camera will send a SMS at the preset time. The SMS will show you how many video clips the camera has taken within 24 hours.

Instant, just works in ON mode, which means the camera will send a MMS instantly after it captures a35 photo. You can choose the number of how many pictures you want it to send out per day. If it is on Photo mode and you chose the Instant MMS mode, and set the MAX number is 10, the camera will send 10 MMS within 24 hours .And then it 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.

4) “OFF”: To disable MMS function.

Send To Choose send the image to your Phone or to Email. 1> Phone[MMS]: Send the image to cell phone via WAP. 2> Email[MMS]:Send the image to Email address via WAP. 3> Email[GPRS]:Send the image to Email address via SMTP. Use this way the communication cost will be much cheaper in many countries. 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 to your SMS command. Also you can retrieve live pictures any time. But the power consumption will be a little bigger than normal hunting status. Version This parameter shows the information about Firmware and IMEI of this camera. Format SD All images and videos in the SD card will be deleted, so make sure that you have made a backup of important data. Default Set Restore all customer settings to default values.36

In playback mode, images or videos can be viewed and deleted. An image can also be manually sent by MMS or GPRS. It can only be done in TEST mode. The images can be viewed on the LCD screen on camera. The videos can only be viewed on your computer. For simplicity, operations with PC won’t be introduced here.

Press OK of the remote to view the latest picture in TEST mode, UP or DOWN to view the previous and the next one. And OK to return to info display. Note that video can not be displayed on the screen.

4.3.2 Delete Photo or Video

View the image (or video) which to be deleted, select the one you want to delete. Press DELETE and LEFT or RIGHT to select all, then OK to delete.

The laser light pointer beam can be turned on as an additional function for pointing to an object or a certain region of interested (ROI) by pres- sing ﹡of the remote. NOTE: Please note that the laser could be harmful to the eyes if pointed at another person.

Images and videos are saved in the pre-named folder. File numbering continues by adding one to the last number for each new image or video. Saving names are IMAG0001.JPG or IMAG0001.AVI. Through the suffix you can distinguish whether the file is an image (with suffix .jpg) or a video (with suffix .avi).38 Appendix I: PIR Detection Zone Figure 6 shows Bolymedia’s 4 kinds of detection range at different de- tection angles. 45ft with 35 degree Fig.6 Different detection range The PIR detection angle (❏)) is just smaller than the field of view (FOV) angle (❏). The advantage of this design is to reduce empty picture rate and capture most, if not all, motions.
