Camera Working with MMS
When all of the following conditions are met, the camera should start sending pictures to your cell
phone and/or e-mail account. If you encounter any problems, it is highly recommend that you go
through this list first.
The camera is ON and functional. The SD card has enough space. The 12 AA batteries are
installed matching the polarity symbols on the camera and has enough power capacity.
The camera is in Cam mode or Video mode and not Video mode.
SIM card is installed. The MMS/messaging service is activated (some MMS services
need pre-paid balance in the account.) The SIM card is not password-protected.
The signal is sufficiently strong in the field. The recipient’s phone number and/or email
account is entered correctly. It is recommended that you take the receiving phone with
you and perform a test on site.
The Timer function is OFF. Or if you have the Timer ON, make sure you are in the
specified time period when expecting incoming MMS pictures.
Make sure MMS Status is not set to OFF.
Make sure that the setting is “0”, or the
daily limit has not been reached. If the daily limit has been reached, you can reset that
number on your computer or on the TFT screen.
The camera is stationary while sending MMS pictures.
2.10 Enter Test Mode
Under the test mode, one useful function you may find useful is testing the working area of the
PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor, specifically the sensing angle and distance. To perform the test:
First position the camera at proper height aiming at the region of interest (ROI).
Walk slowly from one side of the ROI to the other parallel to the camera. Try different
distances and angles from the camera.
If the Motion Indicator flashes blue, it means that the position you are right now can be
detected by one of the side Prep PIR sensors. If the Motion Indicator flashes red, it
indicates that particular position is captured by the main PIR sensor.
