directly from the camera to the photo management system and mobile app. Contact
customer support if you need exact cellular band information.
A SIM card (provided with camera) is required to transmit photos/videos. Please visit

MOUNTING CAMERA:
This camera is designed to use the Swivel Bracket (sold separately) to obtain maximal
mounting versatility. Camera can be securely locked with cable lock (through camera) or
security box (with or without bracket).
Camera can be mounted with nylon strap (included) or security box (sold separately).
It is recommended to mount the camera 3-4 feet high overlooking desired area and ~30
feet away from target area for maximum sensitivity in most situations. Adjustments may be
required depending on object size and environment. PIR motion detection distance
changes based on ambient temperature and setup. Higher ambient temperatures will
reduce PIR motion detection range thereby requiring camera to be closer to desired
location. Mounting camera too high or angling camera may result in animal or humans
going under or above the PIR motion detection range. The Lookout contains a PIR
sensitivity switch on the bottom of the camera to adjust between High, Medium, and Low
sensitivity. If you are getting too many false images from wind, you can move the sensitivity
to Low.
Angle the camera perpendicular to the ground to maximize the IR lighting potential. Mount
at 45º degree angle to trails to maximize detection angle. Using Swivel Bracket (sold
separately) provides optimal versatility when mounting the camera.
