New model of digital security camera Suntek HC-550G(she is Owl 120 MMS 3G) with GSM (GPRS) 3G module and invisible flash. Supports faster sending of 3D photos via 3G cellular networks. The novelty differs from its predecessors Suntek series HC-500 (Filin 120) in the following characteristics:

1. Faster motion sensor response time (about 1 second, instead of ~3 seconds for HC-500);
2. Increased photo resolution up to 16 MP, which corresponds to 5360x3200 pixels;
3. Increased photo resolution sent via MMS (GPRS) up to 1280x720 pixels, which is very important for accurate remote identification of the subject;
4. Increased number of frames per second (FPS) at a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels (30 frames instead of 15 frames of HC-500);
4. Now the camera is equipped with a 21 cm long external reinforced antenna, especially for poor reception conditions.

Differences from models of the HC-300 and HC-350 series:

1. Has an increased angle of the PIR sensor and lens - 120 degrees;
2. Increased triggering and illumination distance - 25 meters (instead of 20 meters for HC-300 and HC-350);
3. Great power of night illumination due to reinforced 28 diodes;
4. Higher display resolution (dpi);
5. More economical standby mode< 0,2 мА;
6. Shooting Timelapse (triggering every 30, 60, 240 minutes).

Works great with Megafon, MTS, Beeline and other operators in fully automatic mode!

It is designed to control a certain area and automatically capture on a photo or video recording of all events occurring in this area. Takes high-quality pictures (up to 16 Mpix) or records videos (including at night thanks to the built-in infrared illuminator in the invisible spectrum). The intervals for triggering the camera during constant movement in the surveillance area are also set in advance.

The waterproof camouflage body allows you to hang the camera even in the forest and leave it there for a long time, as it can work up to 6 months in standby mode. To mount the camera, a special belt is provided and an additional protective box with a more flexible possibility of fastening at different angles. Power is supplied by 8 AA batteries or from an external 9V power supply (purchased separately). A photo or video recording goes to an SD card (up to 32 GB) and is sent to your phone in the form of MMS or to e-mail via GPRS. The camera is controlled and configured with a remote control. included in the kit.

SunTek HC-550G will transfer photo or video within 1 minute. to your phone or e-mail, including at your request via SMS.

New data transfer technology (GPRS method) works better, faster and saves money.

The camera is responsive on any movement of a person (or animals) in a certain area thanks to a highly sensitive passive infrared (PIR) sensor, then automatically captures high quality images(up to 16M pixels) or records 1080p HD video clips (including 720P, WVGA or QVGA) .

Device at dawn starts to take color photographs and video until low light(at dusk ), then the camera starts to write infrared (monochrome) photos and videos.

The camera is stable to the effect of rain and snow.

CAUTION: If you plan not to use the camera for an extended period of time, we strongly recommend that you remove the batteries to avoid possible leakage of contents that could damage the camera and void the warranty.

Installing a SIM card
(for camera traps with MMS transmission)

You need to buy a SIM card from a local mobile operator, make sure the operator provides MMS service.

To work with MMS/SMS/E-mail, insert an unlocked SIM card into the slot.

Battery Installation

To power the camera, you need 4 or 8 AA batteries.

Open the bottom cover. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position, pull the battery compartment towards you and remove the container, insert the batteries in the order indicated on the container (observe the polarity!!!). Insert the battery container into the camera.

In Test mode, the camera will automatically turn off after 3 minutes of inactivity, it will turn on again with any movement in front of it.

When the batteries are low, the camera will also turn off automatically. If you have configured MMS functions, the camera will send SMS or Email when the batteries are low.

Inserting an SD memory card

Insert the SD memory card into the card slot with the side marked up. Please note that the SD card can only be inserted in one direction. Make sure the SD card's write-protect switch is in the "write" position.

CAUTION: Always turn off the camera before inserting or removing a memory card and/or batteries.

Entering test mode

1. Slide the power switch to the TEST position to enter the test mode. In this mode, you can take photos and videos like a normal digital camera, or enter the menu to set options.
2. Press the MENU button to enter the settings menu. You can set up the camera manually by making settings on the camera screen or on the TV screen.

Enter shooting mode

After the camera is turned on, the LED indication (red) will flash for 15 seconds. 15 sec is the time to set the automatic shooting of photos and videos, for example, to close the bottom cover, fix the camera on a tree, and step aside.
In ON mode, the camera will take photos and videos automatically according to the default settings, or the latest user settings. The camera can record sound, so the video will be recorded with sound

File Format

Images and videos are saved separately in a specially created folder named (104MEDIA). File numbering is formed by adding one to the last number of each image or video. The name of the saved file will look like this: PTDC0001.JPB or PTDC0001.AVI. By extension, you can determine whether it is an image (extension.jpg) or a video (extension.avi).

The GSM camera trap comes with a disk with the MMSCONFIG.exe program in the MMSCONFIG2.5.5 folder. We launch the program on a PC, a simple menu with three tabs appears.

When switching between tabs, you need to save the settings. Important point!!! The file with the saved settings is Parameter.dat - you need to move it to the memory card in the camera trap directly to the root folder. I transferred all the files from the MMSCONFIG2.5.5 folder from the disk to the root folder on the memory card. A microUSB-USB cable is included, you can connect it to the camera trap and a PC, turn it on and switch it to the config (test) position, then you can see a memory card on the computer. Or connect the memory card directly to the PC, transfer files to it and insert it into the camera trap.

We go to the MMS tab of the MMSCONFIG.exe program, set the MMS auto parameters, the country of Russia, and operators offer only two beeline and A-mobile (this is MTS). We select our operator and the settings are automatically pulled up from below, respectively, BeeLine or MTS. On the right, we expose the phone and / or mail where the MMS will come (up to 4 phones and 4 emails).
Below are the MMS settings for a camera trap with an MTS SIM card.

If the operator is Megafon, then the settings should be selected not auto, but Manual. And set all settings manually. Below are the MMS settings for a camera trap with a Megafon SIM card.

Email setup

Letters come to the mail if we have entered our e-mail in the MMS settings. But if you want to do without MMS or save money for using MMS, then you can set up sending letters to e-mail through the SMTP tab. For Beeline and MTS operators, the settings on the right side are substituted automatically when you select the country Russia and the corresponding operator. And for Megafon, you again need to fill in everything manually (figure below).

The lower part is filled depending on your mailer. The type of encryption for all is SSL, port 465, and the SMTP servers are: smtp.gmail.com; smtp.mail.ru smtp.yandex.ru respectively for mailers gmail.com, mail.ru and yandex.ru.

We drive in your mail (it must be on the corresponding mailer) and the password from the mail. And on the right we drive in the mail to which we want letters with a photo to come (you can mail the same one, up to 4 boxes).

Based on our observations, many owners of forest cameras have difficulty setting up camera traps to send MMS or e-mail messages. The reason for the occurrence of errors is a large number of parameters incomprehensible to the average person from various sources, which must be accurately and accurately specified during configuration. In this article, we tried to put together everything you need to set up a camera trap - data on the largest telecom operators and the features of setting up e-mail for camera traps.

First of all, this article will be useful to owners of camera traps with the ability to remotely control and transmit data, such as the BolyGuard MG882K-8mHD, MG882K-12mHD, MG883G-12mHD camera trap, BolyGuard MG982K-12M, MG983G-30M camera trap, Ltl Acorn 5310WMG camera trap, LTL camera trap 6210MG, Camera trap Ltl Acorn 6310WMG, LTL-Acorn 6511WMG, Camera trap Seelock Spromise S128.

Before you start reconfiguring your camera trap, make sure that:

• The SIM card installed in the forest chamber has enough funds to send messages
• SMS, MMS and data service activated

We also recommend that you access the Internet account of your SIM card to quickly control the balance and manage the tariff plan even when the camera trap is in the forest. Operators' personal accounts are located here: https://login.mts.ru/ https://my.beeline.ru/ https://lk.megafon.ru/

All modern camera traps support 2 types of message sending - MMS and GPRS (including cameras with support for 3G networks). We will go into detail about each of the modes.

Setting up camera traps to send MMS:

• The country code of the recipient's phone must be indicated through 7 (for Russians). It is important to know that the camera trap will not respond to SMS commands if it does not contain an administrator number at all or it is specified through "+7" or "8".
• Mandatory MMS parameters for all telecom operators that must be specified when setting up the camera trap ( be as careful as possible to avoid mistakes):

MMS settings options for Bolyguard (Scoutguard)

You can configure MMS in Bolymedia camera traps (BolyGuard, ScoutGuard) either manually through the camera trap menu or with the help of a special program for a computer, which of course is much more convenient. The latest Bolymedia camera trap setup software can be found here.

2. Run the setup programs, select the desired camera trap model and click OK:

2. Select "Others" from the list of countries, after which the WAP / Internet Parameters dialog box will open immediately:

Bolymedia programmers periodically "forget" to fill in or incorrectly indicate the settings of the operator of a particular country, and as a result, choosing a specific operator does not always save. For example, at the time of writing this article, the Bolymedia camera trap configuration program forgot the GPRS parameters of Beeline and Megafon operators. Therefore, it is safer to specify the settings with the parameters of your operator manually.

• An example of MMS settings in Bolyguard (Scoutguard) camera traps for a Beeline operator:

beeline
beeline

• An example of MMS settings in Bolyguard (Scoutguard) camera traps for a Megafon operator:

The PASSWORD field contains the password mms
The GPRS PASSWORD field contains the password gdata
The SEND EMAIL PWD field contains the password of the e-mail address from which mail will be sent in GPRS mode.

• An example of MMS settings in Bolyguard (Scoutguard) camera traps for an MTS operator:

The PASSWORD field contains the password mts
The GPRS PASSWORD field also contains the password mts
The SEND EMAIL PWD field contains the password of the e-mail address from which mail will be sent in GPRS mode.

• An example of MMS settings in Bolyguard (Scoutguard) camera traps for a TELE2 operator:

In the ACCOUNT, PASSWORD, GPRS ACCOUNT, GPRS PASSWORD field, the TELE2 operator does not require login and password
The SEND EMAIL PWD field contains the password of the e-mail address from which mail will be sent in GPRS mode.

3. After filling in the parameters, click the OK button. We recommend that you immediately fill in the GPRS parameters when setting up MMS, in order to be able to send messages to e-mail in the future. To do this, it is enough to correctly specify the parameters SEND EMAIL ADDR, SEND EMAIL PWD, SEND EMAIL SERVER, PORT and select SSL support in the Advanced item (GPRS settings are described in detail in the corresponding section of this article).

MMS settings options for LTL-Acorn

Ltl-Acorn camera traps can also be configured through the camera menu in the field. It takes some effort, but is generally possible. However, we still recommend setting up LTL cameras on a computer using the Ltl-Acorn-Setup program, the latest version of the program is available in the .

1. Insert a memory card into the computer (connect via card reader or using the included USB cable)
2. Run the setup programs, specify the required camera trap model:

3. Press the MMS Setup button
4. Enter the correct parameters of your carrier and the recipient's phone number and save them to the memory card.

• Example of MMS settings in LTL Acorn camera traps for Beeline operator:

• An example of MMS settings in LTL Acorn camera traps for a Megafon operator:

• An example of MMS settings in LTL Acorn camera traps for an MTS operator:

5. Insert a memory card into the camera trap, turn it on in test mode to load the settings.

This completes the MMS setup, the camera trap is ready for operation. After switching to the working mode, the LTL-Acorn camera trap will send messages via the MMS channel.

Special parameters:

• Picture No./ day- the maximum number of frames sent per day. Enter 0 for unlimited sending
• SMS Remote Control- remote control, 0 - permanent operation, 1-24 - checking incoming SMS at intervals from once an hour to once a day, Off - remote control is disabled. This function increases the power consumption of the camera trap!

Camera traps LTL Acorn can send images via MMS channel not only to the phone, but also to the e-mail address. However, such sending will be charged as an MMS message and is more expensive than sending an e-mail via a GPRS connection. We recommend using sending e-mail messages via MMS channel only in cases where sending via GPRS is not possible or the LTL Acorn camera trap cannot log in to your mail server (many LTL-Acorn models have a problem with authorization on SMTP servers, e-mail address as username (the manufacturer is aware of the problem, but has not yet released a fixed firmware).

MMS settings parameters for Sokol camera traps

These camera traps can send messages in low resolution, but due to the lack of an external antenna (this is done to reduce the cost of production), the probability of sending MMS is not very high. After all, it is known that for normal reception of a cellular signal in a forest area, a good antenna is needed. But if you already own this camera trap, then most likely the parameters that are suitable for the Scoutguard and LTL-Acorn traps are also suitable for the Falcon camera trap. The program for setting up these camera traps can be downloaded from the website of the Chinese manufacturer or requested from its Russian representatives.

MMS settings for Filin camera traps

Setting up the MMS in the Filin camera trap is no different from setting up the Scoutguard and LTL-Acorn camera traps. The only problem is that the Filin camera trap, unlike its "older" brothers, can send an image with a resolution of no more than 640 * 480 pixels. The program for setting up these camera traps can be downloaded from the website of the Chinese manufacturer Shenzhen Jiayijie Technology Co., Ltd. or ask his rossi th representatives.

Setting up camera traps to send e-mail:

In contrast to the MMS settings, to successfully send a photo by e-mail, you must correctly specify not only the parameters of the telecom operator, but also the mail server through which you plan to send messages. Until recently, it was possible to set up sending to e-mail without any problems, but after the mail.ru, yandex.ru, rambler.ru services banned sending mail without encryption, some camera traps stopped sending images. Unfortunately, for camera traps manufactured before 2014, this problem can only be partially solved by using a "no encryption" mail server. Therefore, if your camera trap stopped sending e-mail after September 17, 2014 - check if it supports encryption. If your camera trap can work with servers using the SSL protocol, then you can start setting it up.

1. You must correctly specify the Internet settings of your carrier. APN settings for the first three Russian operators, as well as TELE2 are shown in the table:

2. You must correctly specify the parameters of the mail server through which messages will be sent. The table below shows the parameters of the most popular mail servers:

The updated version of the Filin 120 MMS, 3G camera trap features a 16 MP camera with a wide camera viewing angle (120 degrees) and the ability to send photos as MMS messages to several phone numbers at once, as well as send photos to several email boxes. The device menu is completely in Russian, so it is quite easy to figure out the camera settings. To start using the camera trap, it is enough to install a SIM card of any mobile operator, a memory card from 8 to 32 GB (not lower than class 10) and 8 AA batteries (finger-type) into it. A special strap is included with the device, with which it is easy to fix the camera trap on a tree or pole. It is worth noting that the body of the device has an IP54 protection class - the camera trap is not afraid of dust and direct splashes.
Features of the Filin 3G MMC 120 camera trap:

• Sending the taken photos in the form of MMS and E-mail messages. Sending is carried out by means of GSM and GPRS communication (a SIM card of any mobile operator is required). At the same time, in the settings you can set the simultaneous sending of messages to several recipients at once (up to 4 numbers for sending MMS and up to 4 addresses for sending E-mail).
• Wide-angle camera field of view and motion sensor. The camera trap is equipped with a lens with a field of view of 120° (for example, the viewing angle of the human eye is 60-70°), which allows you to get much more information about the environment in one shot. The motion sensor also has a viewing angle of 120°, which allows the camera to capture even fast-moving living objects relative to the camera. . The maximum range of the sensor is 25 meters.
• High quality photos and videos. Video can be shot in one of three resolutions: 1920x1080 (15 fps), 1280x720 (30 fps), 800x480 (60 fps). The duration of the video is adjustable from 10 to 90 seconds, the video is recorded with sound. Photos can be taken in one of three resolutions: 12MP (4000x3000), 8MP (3264x2448), 5MP (2592x1944). The photo is saved in JPEG format with the date and time superimposed.
• Fast camera response speed. The camera response speed is the time between when the motion sensor detects motion and the camera takes a picture. This camera trap model has a camera response speed of 0.7 seconds, but as the memory card fills up, this indicator deteriorates.
• Adjustable motion sensor sensitivity. The motion sensor can be set to one of three sensitivity levels: high, medium, low.
• Works day and night. During the daytime, the camera trap takes video and photographs in color, at night - in black and white. The camera trap is equipped with 24 infrared emitters invisible to humans and animals and is capable of recording events in complete darkness at a distance of up to 20 meters.
• Remote control by remote control or SMS commands. The camera trap comes with a remote control with which you can set the settings or force a picture to be taken while being a few meters away from the camera trap. You can also manage settings and take forced pictures by sending SMS commands.
• Informative TFT-display 2". The camera trap is equipped with a 2" (5.08 cm) TFT display that shows shooting mode and battery status.
• Programmable interval between shots. This function is also called the trigger interval. In the camera trap settings, you can set the interval from 5 to 30 seconds or from 1 to 30 minutes - the delay between shots (by default 5 seconds) regardless of the motion sensor triggering again.
• Multishot mode. In the camera trap settings, you can set the number of shots that the camera will take when the motion sensors are triggered once. A series of 1, 3, 6 or 9 shots is available.
• The ability to take pictures at a specified time interval. This option is also known as Snapshot Periodicity. In the camera trap settings, you can set the time interval from 1 second to 24 hours. Depending on the set time interval, the camera trap will automatically turn on (regardless of the motion sensor) and take pictures.
• Support for removable SD memory cards. The camera trap supports SD memory cards from 8 to 32 GB.
• Menu in Russian. Thanks to the Russified menu, it is quick and easy to figure out the settings and control of the camera trap.
• Wide operating temperature range. The camera trap is capable of operating at ambient temperatures from -30 to +70 °C.
• IP54 waterproof rating. This means that the camera trap is partially protected from dust and direct splashes.

The principle of operation of the Filin 3G MMS 120 camera trap

The principle of operation of any camera trap is the ability to make video-photography for movement recorded using a special camera movement sensor in the coverage area in front of it. With the help of fine camera settings, you can clearly adjust the camera trap to suit any need.

Camera trap "Filin 120 MMS, 3G" is designed to work outdoors, including at low temperatures. Install the trap in the required place, insert batteries and a memory card into it. The motion sensor initiates recording to the device's memory card. Records photos or videos at resolutions up to 1080p. For recording in the dark, there is an infrared light with a range of up to 20 m.

The contents of the memory card can be conveniently viewed on the built-in LCD display. Slot for SD memory card from 8 to 32 GB. 32 GB holds 5 hours of video quality (1280x720) or 14,000 photos with a resolution of 3264x2448 (8 MP). Standby time: 3 months. This model operates at temperatures from -30° to +70°C at a humidity of 5%-90% and is ideal for use in Russian conditions.

When the device is closed, the monitor and the push-button menu are securely hidden, which gives additional confidence in their safety. In order to change the settings of the camera trap, it is enough to take the remote control included in the kit with you and set up the camera at the installation site.
