General Description 

This  camera,  a  digital  scouting  camera  with  MMS  function,  is  a  surveillance 

camera working automatically. It can be triggered at once by any movement of human 
(or  animals)  in  a  certain  region  of  interested  (ROI)  monitored  by  a  high  sensitive 
Passive  Infrared  (PIR)  motion  sensor,  and  then  automatically  captures  high  quality 
pictures (up to 5M pixels) or records video clips (VGA).Then it can send the pictures 
instantly  to  your  mobile  device  via  GSM  network.

 

You’ll  be  alerted  just  when 

something has happened; 

It takes color pictures or videos under sufficient daylight. While at the dark night, 

the built-in infrared LEDs functioning as flash light, the camera takes clear pictures or 
videos (monochrome).   

It  is  easy  to  use.  Because  there  is  a  1.7’  LCD  display  on  camera  and  a  sound 

recorder embedded in the camera. A laser pointer is used to help target the photo area 
of the camera. And it supports MMS/SMS/E-mail via GSM Network. 

It  is  resistant  against  water  and  snow  for  outside  uses.  Furthermore,  the  camera 

can be used as a portable digital camera.

On the back of  camera,  there is  a lock  for theft-proof and an  adjuster to  change 

the tilt when mounting on an irregular interface e.g. tree.     

Take  a  few  moments  to  familiarize  with  the  camera  controls  and  displays.  It  is 

helpful  to  bookmark  this  section  and  refer  to  it  when  read  through  the  rest  of  the
