CHOOSING A PHOTO TRANSMISSION PLAN FOR YOUR CAMERA

Go to https://www.spypoint.com/en/spypoint-experience/plans to read the latest offers and choose the plan that suits you.

CONFIGURING YOUR CAMERA

Both the SPYPOINT app and website let you configure all the camera settings remotely. They also provide basic information on your camera such as: cellular signal strength, battery level, and MicroSD card space used. This information is based upon the latest connection with your camera.

New settings take effect every time the camera connects with the SPYPOINT app or website. Below are the most basic settings you will configure.

BASIC PHOTO SETTINGS

Delay: Allows you to set the time interval between each detection before the camera takes the next photo.
Multishot: Allows you to set the number of photos per detection (up to 2) with a 5-second delay between each photo.
Sensitivity: Allows you to set the detection sensitivity of the camera. Camera name: Allows you to name each owned camera

CELLULAR SETUP

First transfer time: Allows you to choose the time when the camera makes its first transfer of the day.

Transfer frequency: Allows you to choose the number of daily transfers.

ADVANCED OPTIONS/CONFIGURATION

Schedule: Allows you to set the period of operation for each day of the week. For a 24-hour operation mode, both the start and stop times must be 12 AM.

NOTE| Camera transfers are set by default to every 4 hours from midnight.

STARTING YOUR CAMERA

Turn on the camera.
The green “STATUS” light will flash while searching for a signal (can take a few minutes).
The “STATUS” light will light up in one of the following 3 colors:
Red: Insufficient signal.
Orange: Acceptable signal.
Green: Optimal signal.
When the top right light flashes red, 30 seconds remain before the photo mode is turned on. This allows you to leave the area without being photographed.
The camera is ready for use when all the lights turn off.
If the light is red during step 3, you should:

Turn your camera off and then back on.
Retry while pointing the antenna at different angles.
Try moving it to a spot with better signal.
Try our #CA-01 long-range cellular antenna (sold separately), which could help improve signal strength.

INSTALLING YOUR CAMERA

Mount the camera using the installation strap.
The camera should be at the same height as the animal’s mid-body.
The targeted animal should be at 25 feet/7.5 meters away from the camera.
For brighter pictures at night, ensure you have elements in the back-ground to reflect the IR flash.
