SIM card and subscription
The camera comes with a multi-operator data SIM card.
Compatible with mobile phone operators for optimal coverage. 4 photo transmission packs are available (see photo).
When you insert the standard-sized SIM card, the camera automatically detects the operator and configures the corresponding settings for sending photos (works in 3G and 4G).
The camera can be remotely configured and operated, thanks to the NumCam mobile application.

Trigger speed 0.5 sec
Photo + Video with audio: a still photo then a video are captured at each trigger
Setup / Mounting Instructions
Make sure that the capture zone in front of the lens is clear (no branches, bushes, etc.) to avoid taking unwanted pictures without any animals.
You should preferably face north or south to avoid low sun rays at sunrise and sunset that can interfere with the photo or the video.
Install the camera at a height of about 1.5 m / 2 m, pointing slightly downwards.
Starting up
Once you have made the necessary adjustments, you can switch the camera ON. A red light on the front of the camera flashes for 5 seconds to let you know it's working, giving you time to close the box and leave the area.
In the settings menu, the camera switches to standby automatically after 3 minutes without pressing a button.
Detection
Sensor range is 20 m
The range of the invisible black LED flash (940 nm) is 20 m
The camera is invisible when triggered at night, with no visible light
The flash can be adjusted to avoid overexposure at night or if you want to place the camera close to the subject (auto, medium, low, off).
PIR interval between 2 photos/videos can be set from 5 sec to 59 min 59 sec (default 20 sec)
Sensor sensitivity can be set to high, medium or low.
Photo angle: 100°
PIR interval adjustment
PIR interval between 2 images adjustable from 5 seconds to 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds
If the PIR interval is set to 01:00, the camera will wait 1 minute between each photo/video recording even if motion is detected.
- Short PIR interval = many photos/videos taken = high energy consumption
- Long PIR interval = fewer photos/videos taken = lower energy consumption.
Sensitivity adjustment
Adjustable sensitivity: High | Medium | Low
In a high-temperature environment, the body heat of subjects is difficult for the camera to differentiate from the ambient heat, so high sensitivity is recommended.
It is advisable to use low sensitivity in an environment with a lot of interference such as hot wind, smoke, near a window, etc.
Night mode and flash setting
Maximum range: a longer exposure time to extend the range of the infrared flash for better night vision (inferior image quality)
Minimum blur: a shorter exposure time to minimise blur due to movement and for a superior image quality, but a reduced flash range
Time lapse and time range
The camera can be set to time lapse: 1 photo every X seconds, minutes, hours, depending on your preference: from 5 sec to 23hr 59 min 59 sec.
Note that this deactivates the motion detector.
You can set 2 operating time periods according to your preference. The camera will then only take photos/videos within the defined range(s). For example, from 3pm to 6pm and from 7am to 9am. Compatible with time lapse and motion detector.
