2. Easy Operation

2.1 Power Supply

The camera requires 8 AA batteries for power. Recommended batteries include high-density alkaline batteries, rechargeable alkaline batteries, or rechargeable NiMH batteries (all 1.5V output). In Test Mode, the camera automatically shuts down after 3 minutes of inactivity to save power, but can be reactivated by motion detection. The camera also shuts down in low power states; replace batteries promptly.

2.2 Insert the MICRO SD-card and the SIM-card

Insert the MICRO SD card and SIM card into their respective slots. Ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted for MMS/E-mail functionality.

2.3 Enter into the TEST Mode

Turn the power switch to the TEST position to enter TEST mode. In this mode, users can access settings, manually capture photos or videos, and preview captured media.

2.3.1 User Settings

Press the MENU button to access settings. Users can configure mode, interval, picture resolution, video resolution and length, and other parameters as detailed in subsequent sections.

2.3.2 Manual Capturing

Press the RIGHT button to manually capture photos or record videos.

2.3.3 View Images or Videos

Captured images or videos can be viewed on the camera's LCD screen or on a TV connected via a TV cable. Press OK to view the latest file. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to navigate through captured files.

2.4 Power on and Enter into the ON Mode

Before powering on, avoid facing light sources directly to prevent false triggers. The recommended placement height is 1-2 meters from the ground. After powering on, a red light will blink for approximately 10 seconds, indicating a buffering period before automatic capturing begins. This allows time to close and lock the bottom cover, mount the camera, and move away.

3.3 SMS Command Code

Ensure MMS/SMTP is set to 'ON' mode before using SMS commands:

• *500*: Take picture (works in MMS and SMTP mode). The SIM sends "Capture" upon receiving this command.
• *505*: Take picture and send to the mobile that sent the SMS (works in MMS and SMTP mode). The SIM sends "Start capturing..." and then sends the picture to the MMS Mobile or SMTP email. If the camera is in MMS mode only, the SIM sends an MMS to the sender's mobile.
• *520*: Check picture quantity and battery status (works in MMS and SMTP mode). The SIM sends "Total Jpg: Free Space: Battery Level:" upon receiving this command.
• *530*: Turn on camera (works in MMS and SMTP mode). The SIM sends "Start OK" upon receiving this command.
• *531*: Turn camera to sleeping mode (works in MMS and SMTP mode). The SIM sends "Stop OK" upon receiving this command.

4. Cautions

• The camera's working voltage is 9.0V.
• Unlock and format the Micro SD card before use.
• Insert the Micro SD card only when the power switch is OFF. Do not insert or remove it when the power switch is ON.
• Ensure full power during firmware upgrades to prevent interruption.
• Network communications can vary, and 100% MMS and GPRS functionality cannot be guaranteed.
