• The third and fourth LED turns green as the modem connects to the Verizon network.
• The fifth LED turns green once the modem has completed connection.
After all 5 LEDs turn green, the LED indicators will cycle back and forth between red and green to

Field Modem MV1
1. Camera Settings
Online camera settings and actual camera settings are synchronized whenever the modem and
camera communicate with the server at the scheduled check in times. Or you can press the "TEST"
button once to force the camera and modem to check in with the server to update settings. During
synchronization, if an online setting and corresponding camera setting are different, the camera
setting is updated to the value that was most recently set.
Camera settings vary from camera model to camera model – refer to your camera instructions for
details on settings. Refer to section B4 for more information on setting your camera.
Note: Settings for 2015 A-Series cameras controlled by input switches - Detection Delay,
Resolution, Photo or Video - cannot be set remotely.
2. Upload Frequency
The upload Frequency setting applies to your Field Modem. It regulates how often the Modem
connects to the network to upload photos and synchronize online settings.
NOTE: You must be logged-in to your account on www.MoultrieMobile.com to adjust the
Upload Frequency settings for the Modem. You will find the upload frequency setting under
“Edit Settings” on the Cameras dashboard.
• Once per day (1/day) –
provides the longest battery life
• Twice per day (2/day)
• Immediate –
The modem will not transmit a picture when in “Immediate” mode until
there has been no activity from the camera for at least 15 seconds.
NOTE: If there has been continuous activity for 2 minutes, the modem will
automatically transmit pictures to the Moultrie Mobile server.
For all upload frequencies (except Immediate), specific upload times will be determined by the
Moultrie Mobile server.
3. Upload Warning Limit
The upload warning limit allows you to set the maximum number of pictures that will automatically
upload when the modem connects to the server without receiving your approval. You can set this
limit under “edit settings” on your camera’s dashboard which can be viewed on both the website and
apps.
NOTE: The upload warning limit automatically defaults to 50, but you can change this to
better suite your preferences.
If your modem checks in and has more pictures to upload than the upload warning limit is set to, you
will be prompted with a warning message on your camera’s dashboard, telling you how many pictures
are available for upload. If you choose to “Upload”, all the images they will be uploaded at the next
modem check in. If you choose “Skip”, the images will not be uploaded to your Moultrie Mobile
account, but they will remain on the camera's SD card.
NOTE:
No images will be uploaded to your account until you clear the warning message for your
camera by selecting either “Upload” or “Skip”.
For example:
if you deploy your camera to a location where 100 pictures a day would be the most
you would expect to receive, you may set your upload warning limit to 100. Then when your camera
checks in, if it has more than 100 pictures you have the opportunity to choose whether or not to
use your data to upload those pictures.
