1. Introduction

The Nokia Remote Camera is an imaging device with a motion detector, 
thermometer, and microphone. With the camera you can capture still 
images and video clips remotely, and send them to your multimedia 
messaging (MMS) enabled mobile phone, or to an e-mail address. You 
control and configure the camera with text messages (SMS) or with the 
Remote Camera Manager application that can be downloaded from the 
camera to a compatible phone. See “Download Remote Camera 
Manager” on page 18
.

The camera can be used outdoors when powered with the Nokia power 
supply AC-12 found in the camera sales package. Do not expose the 
camera to rain.

To use the Nokia Remote Camera, you need the following:

• A GPRS enabled mobile subscription with a SIM card and MMS 

service. 

• An MMS and SMS enabled mobile phone with a colour display. 

• GSM/GPRS network coverage and MMS service coverage with 

adequate signal strength in the phone and camera premises.

• An available e-mail address, if you want to receive images to your e-

mail.

Note: 

National laws and regulations may place restrictions on 

recording images and regarding further processing and use of 
such data. Do not use this feature illegally. Honour the privacy 
and other legitimate rights of others and obey all laws 
governing, for example, data protection, privacy, and publicity. 

Note:

 Only devices that offer compatible multimedia message 

or e-mail features can receive and display multimedia 
messages.

Important: 

E-mail messages or multimedia message objects 

may contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your device or 
PC. Do not open any attachment if you are not sure of the 
trustworthiness of the sender.
