Quick start guide
Please note: in order to receive the captured images on your phone or e-mail, it is
necessary to configure the correct settings in the camera. You will find detailed instructions
for this later in the manual. For the quick start guide below, we assume that the camera
has already been configured by Wildlife Monitoring Solutions or by yourself.
Step 1:
Place 12 AA batteries, SD card, SIM card and antennas in/on the camera. There
is an app available for your IOS or Android smartphone (called "TrailCamera"), which allows
you to give instructions to the camera remotely. A detailed explanation of how the app
works can be found later in the manual. It is not necessary to install the app, but it can be
useful in daily use of your camera.
Step 2:
Switch the main switch to the SETUP position, the display will turn on. The game
camera will now search for a network signal. If a signal bar appears, this means that a
network has been found and the camera is connected to this network. You will also see the
message "Time Sync" on the screen briefly. This means that the camera is connected to
the network and that the system time of the camera is equal to the time it received from
the network (this automatic time synchronisation can be turned off in the menu of the
camera). To check whether the date/time is set correctly, press and hold the right arrow
button. You will now see the date/time and the GSM network appear in red letters. If the
date/time is incorrect, you can adjust this in the menu (see further down in the manual).*
Step 3:
You can now move the camera switch to the ON position, close the camera securely
and leave the location. After about 15 seconds, the camera will be active and the recorded
images will be transmitted according to the settings configured in the camera.
* If the message: "SIM Auto Failed" appears, the camera has not been able to recognise
the inserted SIM card automatically. There are a large number of providers preinstalled in
the camera, but not all of them are. If you therefore see this message, all network settings
must still be configured manually in the camera's 4G menu (see below). Only then will it
be possible to send photos and videos to the specified e-mail addresses.
