QUICK START GUIDE: BASIC SETUP STEPS
Step 1: Purchase and activate a SIM card from your mobile phone service provider.
An SMS/MMS (voice+text) enabled SIM card is recommended if you have unlimited
text messaging, as it will minimize costs and allow control of the camera remotely
via text messages. Select a SIM card that also supports data (SMTP or SSMTP) if
you also want the option to receive images from the camera via email through
your data plan.
Step 2: You may need to disable the PIN code on the SIM card, so the camera can
transmit unattended. Insert the SIM card in your smartphone. On iPhones, select
Settings>Phone>SIM PIN. Move the switch to the O position, and enter the
current PIN for the card. On Android, select Settings>Security>Set up SIM Lock.
Untick Lock SIM card and enter the PIN.
Step 3: Insert the SIM card into the Wireless Trophy Cam HD (slot on top left edge).
Install batteries (12x AA lithium or alkaline) and an SD or SDHC card (up to 32GB).
Attach the antenna by screwing it onto the socket at the top of the camera. Please
refer to the full instruction manual for complete, detailed directions.
Step 4: Set the Power/Mode Switch to “SETUP”. You should see the wireless signal
strength indicator bars once a connection has been established (allow time for
this).
Step 5A (MMS Setup): Press the MENU key, then press the LEFT arrow key 3 times
to go to “Wireless Setting”. Press the OK key, then select “MMS” (if you are using
an SMS/MMS capable SIM card) and press OK again. Highlight “Auto Setting” and

Conversations -set to "O")
Step 7: From the “MMS” or “Email via SMTP” screen, you can also set up an email
address to receive data from the camera (this is the only option when using
SMTP, as receiving images via text is not possible. For SMS/MMS operation, email
is optional in addition to phone (text) receipt of images). Select “Email Address”
then press OK. Press OK again to begin entering your email address. When
nished, press the MENU key to save it.
Step 8: Test the camera to ensure that you will receive images. With the camera
switched to “SETUP”, and a wireless signal conrmed by green bars at the right
of the antenna icon, press the LEFT arrow key. You will see a “Step” display while
the camera snaps and transmits a photo, followed by “Wireless test over!” and a
“Send Success!” or “Communication Err” message. If success is indicated, check
your text messages and/or email for the test image. If the camera displayed an
error message, try the test again, after double checking the steps and settings
listed above. You may also ask your wireless provider to verify that all wireless
related data/numbers as shown in the menus are correct and current.

INTRODUCTION
About the WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD
The Bushnell WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD is a digital scouting camera. It can
be triggered by any movement of game in a location, detected by a highly
sensitive Passive Infra-Red (PIR) motion sensor, and then take high quality
pictures (up to 8MP still photos), or video clips.
The WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD consumes very little power (less than 0.25 mA)
in a stand-by (surveillance) state (ECO Mode only). This means it can deliver a
long battery life when the device is powered by the full capacity of AA alkaline
batteries, and even longer utilizing lithium AA batteries. Once motion in the
monitored area is detected, the digital camera unit will be triggered at once
(typically within one second) and then automatically take photos or videos
according to previously programmed settings. The WIRELESS Trophy Cam
HD is equipped with built-in infrared LEDs that function as a ash, so that it
delivers clear photos or videos (in black & white) even in the dark, and it can
take color photos or videos under sucient daylight. The WIRELESS Trophy
Cam HD is designed for outdoor use and is resistant against water and snow.
Your trail camera is one of the latest generation of Bushnell WIRELESS Trophy
Cam HDs, and includes many new or improved features, including:
• Auto PIR Sensitivity-the camera monitors ambient temperature
conditions and automatically adjusts the sensor/trigger signal to be
more sensitive to slight variations in temperature on hot days, less
sensitive on cold days.
• Hyper NightVision-The IR LED Flash array now has increased range,
brighter output and better coverage for improved nighttime images.
• Field Scan 2x with Live Trigger-This “time lapse” feature includes the
option for a second block of recording with its own start/stop times.
Trigger signals generated by nearby wildlife activity will still generate
additional photos/videos as they normally would, independently of the
Field Scan operation.
• GPS Geotag Capability-allows the user to input the longitude and
latitude of the camera’s position, which will be embedded in each
photo le. This enables Google Earth, Picassa and other geotag enabled
software to automatically show a map pinpointing each camera’s
location when a group of photos are reviewed on a computer. Especially
7
useful for those who setup multiple WIRELESS Trophy Cam HDs to
monitor large or widely separated areas.
• Multi Flash Mode (LED Control)- prevents overexposed ash photos in
close range applications
• NV Shutter-user can select shutter speed for images captured at night
allowing control over brightness vs. ability to stop motion
• Camera Operating Mode can be limited to Day only, Night only, or 24
HRs
And many more features such as 1080p HD Video with Audio, widescreen or
fullscreen format still photos, imprintable camera name (user set) along with
current data including temperature and moon phase.
Applications
The WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD can be used as a trail camera for scouting or
observation. It is also suitable for surveillance usage.
PARTS AND CONTROLS
The WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD provides the following connections for
external devices: USB port, SD card slot and external DC power in (pg 9, Fig. 1).
A 3-way power switch is used to select the main operating modes: OFF,
SETUP, and ON (pg 9, Fig. 2).
A control key interface with six keys is primarily used in SETUP mode to select
operational functions and parameters. As shown on the next page, these keys
are: UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, OK and MENU. Four of the keys can also perform
a second function (shortcut operations in SETUP mode) in addition to their
main function: The DOWN key can be used to set the camera to Photo mode
(still camera icon), and the UP key can set the camera to Video mode (movie
camera icon). The RIGHT key also serves as the manual shutter (“SHOT”)
button of the camera. The OK key can be used to review an image or video.
These secondary functions are indicated by icons or text above the key (Fig. 2).

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD
Before you begin learning how to use your WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD, you
will rst need to install a set of batteries and insert an SD card. Although that
may only take you a minute, there are some important notes about both
batteries and SD cards you should be aware of, so please take the time to read
the following directions and cautions:
Loading Batteries
After opening the latch on the right side of the WIRELESS
Trophy Cam HD, you will see that the WIRELESS Trophy
Cam HD has twelve battery slots. For maximum battery
life, you should install a full set of batteries. The WIRELESS
Trophy Cam HD may also be operated by just four batteries
installed in the rst slots only (starting on the left-see photo).
Battery life will be shorter with 4 batteries, but the camera
will operate normally. Whether you use 4 or a full set, be
sure to insert each battery with correct polarity (negative
or “at” end against the long spring of each battery slot).
Bushnell recommends using a full set of new lithium
AA (Energizer® brand) or alkaline AA batteries. NiMh
Rechargeable batteries are not recommended, as the lower
voltage of 1.2v they produce can cause operational issues.
When the camera's internal (AA) batteries become weak,
the low-battery indicator LED will glow blue, indicating the
camera's batteries should be changed (pg 9, Front View). You will also receive
an alert if battery levels drop via MMS or email when wireless is on.
Optionally, you can connect the #119656C Accessory Solar Panel (please
visit www.trophycam.eu/wireless for more information) to the “DC In” jack at
the bottom of the WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD (other external power supplies
should not be used, as the camera and/or display may not function correctly).
If the solar panel is connected and AA batteries are installed, the WIRELESS
Trophy Cam HD will be powered by the solar panel's rechargeable lith-ion
battery, as long as it provides adequate voltage (if not, the camera will switch
to battery power). The solar panel's battery will power the camera at night.
10
Note: as battery consumption is less of a concern when using the Solar Panel together to
supplement the internal batteries, Wake mode can be set (via text message) for a quicker
transition from standby (consumes more power). See pg. 30 regarding the use of "Wake" mode
vs "Eco" mode. The default Eco mode extends battery life.
Inserting the SD Card
Insert the SD card (with the camera’s power switch in the OFF position) before
beginning to operate the camera. Don’t insert or remove the SD card when
the power switch is in the ON position.
The WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD uses a standard SD (Secure Digital) memory
card to save photos (in .jpg format) and/or videos (in .mov format). SD and
SDHC (High Capacity) cards up to a maximum 32GB capacity are supported.
Using high speed SD cards (SanDisk® SDHC rated class 6 or higher) is
recommended if you will use the 1280x720 or 1920x1080 HD video settings.
Before inserting the SD card into the card slot after opening the camera’s front
cover, please make sure that the write-protect switch on the side of the card
is “o” (NOT in the “Lock” position). The following describes how to insert and
remove the SD card:
• Insert the SD card into the card slot with its label side upwards (see
below). A “click” sound indicates that the card is installed successfully. If
the wrong side of the card is facing up, you will not be able to insert it
without force-there is only one correct way to insert cards. If the SD card
is not installed correctly, the device will not display an SD card icon on the
LCD in SETUP mode (the SD card icon displayed after switching to SETUP
mode will have a “lock” symbol inside it in it if the card is locked). Formatting
the SD card by using the WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD’s “Format SD Card”
parameter before using it for the rst time is recommended, especially
when a card has been used in other devices (see pg. 25, “Format SD Card”
for details).
• To take out the SD card, just gently push in the card (do not try to pull it
out without pushing in rst). The card is released from the slot and ready
to be removed when you hear the click.
WARNING: Be sure the camera’s power is switched
OFF before inserting or removing SD cards or
batteries.
11
INSTALLING THE ANTENNA AND SIM CARD
Inserting the SIM Card
Purchase and activate a SIM card from your mobile
phone service provider. An SMS/MMS (voice+text)
enabled SIM card is recommended if you have
unlimited text messaging, as it will minimize costs.
You will also have the option to control the camera
remotely via text messages. Select a SIM card that
also supports data (SMTP or SSMTP) if you prefer to
receive images from the camera via email through your data plan. Insert your
activated SIM card in the slot near the top left corner of the display. Always
make sure the PIN Code is deactivated on your SIM card.
Attaching the Antenna
As the wireless antenna is not pre-mounted (for packaging considerations),
you will need to attach it to the camera to enable wireless operation. Simply
screw the threaded base of the antenna onto the socket at the top of the
camera. Make sure it is securely attached, but do not over-tighten it. When not
using the antenna, replace rubber cap to keep out dust and dirt.
SIM card slot
USING THE WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD
Once you’ve prepared your WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD by properly installing
batteries and an SD card, you could simply take it outside, strap it to a tree,
switch it on and leave-and you might get some great photos that are exactly
what you wanted. However, we highly recommend that you rst spend some
additional time indoors with this manual and your camera until you know a
bit more about what the 3-way switch and those control keys do. If nothing
else, you’ll probably want to at least set the date and time so the camera will
imprint them (or not-it’s your option) on your photos as they are taken, learn
how to set the camera to shoot video clips instead of still photos if you like,
and read some tips about mounting it on a tree.
THE OFF, ON, AND SETUP MODES
The WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD has three basic operational modes:
• OFF mode: Power switch in the OFF position.
• ON mode: Power switch in the ON position (LCD screen is o.)
12
• SETUP mode: Power switch at SETUP position (LCD screen is on).
OFF MODE
The OFF mode is the “safe” mode when any actions must be taken, e.g.,
replacing the SD card or batteries, or transporting the device. You will also
use OFF mode if you connect the camera to a computer’s USB port later to
download your photos/videos. And of course, when you are storing or not
using the camera, you will switch it to OFF. Please note that even in the
OFF mode the WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD still consumes power at a very
low level. Therefore, it’s a good idea to take the batteries out of the battery
compartment if the camera will not be used for a long time.
ON MODE
Anytime after the batteries and SD card have been inserted, you can switch
on the camera. When the power switch is moved to the top position, the
camera will enter into the ON (Live) mode. The motion indicator LED (pg.
9, “Front View”) will blink red for about 10 seconds. This interval allows time for
you to close the WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD’s front cover, lock it, and leave
the monitored area. Once in the ON mode, no manual controls are needed
or possible (the control keys have no eect). The WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD
will take photos or videos automatically (according to its current parameter
settings) when it is triggered by the PIR sensor’s detection of activity in the
area it covers.
You can either move the power switch directly from OFF to ON mode, or stop
at the SETUP position rst to change one or more settings, then move the
switch to ON after you have nished doing so.
SETUP MODE
In the SETUP mode you can check and change the settings of the WIRELESS
Trophy Cam HD with the help of its built-in LCD. These settings, found in the
SETUP Menu, let you change the photo or video resolution, interval between
photos, switch the time imprint on, etc. Moving the power switch to the
SETUP position will turn on the LCD display, and you will see an information
screen that shows how many images have been taken, the battery level,
camera or video mode, etc (Fig. 3, next page).
NOTE: Always move the power switch from OFF to SETUP mode. It is possible that the
13
camera could lockup if it is switched from ON to SETUP mode. If this occurs, simply move
the switch to OFF and then push it up to SETUP again.
SETUP Mode Shortcut Keys/Functions
As mentioned earlier in “Parts & Controls”, ve of the keys below the LCD have
secondary, “shortcut” functions when the camera is switched to SETUP mode
(but the MENU key has not been pressed):
• Press the UP key to quickly set the camera to shoot video clips.
• Press the DOWN key to quickly set the camera to take still photos.
• Press the RIGHT key to manually trigger the shutter. This is useful for
testing the camera-make sure you are in SETUP mode, press the RIGHT
key, and a few seconds later a photo or video (depending on how the
camera was set) will be saved to the SD card (or internal memory if no
card is inserted). The “number of images taken” counter on the top right
of the LCD will increase by one. If the display indicates “SD PROTECTED”
when you press the SHOT key, switch the camera OFF, remove the SD
card and slide its protect switch o.
• Press the LEFT key to snap and send a test photo. You will see a "Step"
display, followed by "Wireless test over!" and conrmation of wireless
communication (or error).

USING THE SETUP MENU TO CHANGE SETTINGS
The main purpose of the SETUP mode is to allow you to change the settings of
the camera’s parameters (21 dierent ones are available!) so your WIRELESS
Trophy Cam HD operates exactly the way you want it to. You will do this by
entering the SETUP Menu and pressing the keys below the LCD display, which
will show you each parameter and its setting.
Changing Parameter Settings in SETUP Mode
A wide range of options or “parameters” are provided to allow you to set
the WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD to your operational preferences. To change
the setting of any parameter you must rst switch to the SETUP mode.
Once in SETUP mode, pressing the MENU button will allow you to select
any parameter and change its setting. The name of the parameter and its
current setting will be shown on the LCD. Pressing the RIGHT or LEFT key
scrolls to the next or previous parameter (RIGHT key to move on to the next
parameter and LEFT key to go back to the previous parameter), and pressing
the UP or DOWN key lets you select a dierent setting for the currently
displayed parameter. Once you have selected your preferred new setting for
a parameter, press the OK button to save the new setting (actually change it).
When you are nished changing the settings of one or more parameters, press
MENU again to exit the SETUP menu. MENU can also be pressed anytime you
want to cancel changing a parameter’s setting after a new setting has been
selected (but OK has not been pressed yet). After setting the parameters to
your preferences, be sure to move the switch to ON to begin actually taking
photos or videos. No images will be captured if the switch is left in the SETUP
position (unless you press the RIGHT/Shot key after exiting the menu)-in fact, the
camera will power o automatically after a few minutes with no key pressed.
Parameter Settings Display
The settings for each parameter are shown on the display screen of your
WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD. All the available settings for the currently
displayed parameter are shown on one screen, with a checkmark next
to the current setting (Pg. 16, Fig. 4a). To change the setting, rst use
the UP/DOWN keys to highlight (select) the new setting you want (Fig.
4b), then press OK to “Execute” the actual change to the selected setting.

EXAMPLES-Changing the Settings of Some Common
Parameters
Following this page, you will nd tables listing all of the parameters found in
the SETUP Menu, along with their possible settings (or range of settings), and
a detailed description of what the parameter controls and what the settings
do. If you read the previous section detailing how to select parameters and
change their settings, you should be able to dive right in, nd the parameter(s)
you want, and setup the camera to suit your preferences. But maybe you’d
rather walk through an example or two rst:
To change any parameter’s setting, always start with the power switch in
the SETUP position. After the LCD comes on, wait until you see the message
"Wireless Network Initialization Success!", then press the MENU key.
The rst parameter you will see when you rst enter the SETUP Menu is
“Mode”. To change it from its default setting of “Camera” (still photos) to “Video”
(shoot video clips), press the DOWN key to select the “Video” setting. Press the
OK key to “Execute” (Set) the new setting you’ve selected for this parameter.
Now press the RIGHT key to move to another parameter in the Menu. Pressing
it three times will take you to “Capture Number”. Try using the UP and DOWN
keys to scroll through the range of settings, then press OK to lock in your
setting for the number of photos the camera takes each time it's triggered.
Press the RIGHT key until you reach the "Default settings" parameter.
Highlight to select “Execute” (using UP or DOWN) then press OK to restore all
parameters (including the Mode and Video Length parameters you changed a
minute ago) back to their original factory default settings. The default settings
for each parameter are indicated in bold type in the SETUP Menu tables on
the next several pages.
Be sure the current date and time are set correctly if you choose to set the
“Time Stamp” parameter to “On”, since that will tell the camera to imprint the
date and time on each of the images it captures. The camera will get the date
and time when it rst connects to the network. You can also manually set or
17
adjust the date and time, using the "Set Clock" parameter in the SETUP Menu.
Field Scan 2x with Live Trigger Feature
Field Scan is a revolutionary new feature for the Bushnell WIRELESS Trophy
Cam HD, which allows you to monitor your food plots or eld edges with time
lapse images or video. When set to “On”, the WIRELESS Trophy Cam HD will
take a photo (or record a video clip) automatically at your choice of intervals
(for example, once every ve minutes) during one or two blocks of time you
set up for each day, without requiring a trigger from an active animal. This
has the advantage of giving you the ability to monitor the edge of a eld that
might be 50 or 150 yards away from the camera out of the PIR sensor’s range.
The result is an eective range much greater than it would normally be, with
the camera dependant on triggers generated by nearby animals. This is a
great tool to scout an entire eld with only one camera.
If an animal does enter the area covered by the PIR sensor and generate a
trigger event during a time in between the Field Scan intervals you set, the
camera will capture an image or video just as it normally would, based on your
other menu settings. Here’s how to setup and use Field Scan (be sure you’ve
set the current time in “Set Clock” rst, so your Field Scan recording will stop
and start at the correct times of day):
1. Move the main switch to SETUP, then press MENU.
2. Keep pressing the RIGHT key, stepping through the Setup Menu until
you reach Set Field Scan.
3. Press the UP key to select On, and press OK (Step 1, pg. 20). You will
see "A", representing the rst block of time you can dene (a second
block of time later in the day, "B" can also be setup if you wish). Press
OK (Step 2). This takes you to the screen to set Start and Stop times,
which determines the clock times when the rst block of Field Scan
recording will begin and end for each day. You can set these times to
the exact hour and minute you want, for a recording “window” that lasts
anywhere from just a minute to a full 24 hours.
4. Set the [Start] and [Stop] times, beginning with the Start hour, using
the UP/DOWN keys to change the setting (Step 3). The hour setting is
based on a 24-hour clock, with “00” hours = midnight, “12” hours = noon,
“23” hrs = 11PM, etc. To move to the next setting, press the RIGHT key,
18
change the minute for the Start time with UP/DOWN, then on to the
hour and minute settings for the Stop time.
5. After you nish setting the Stop minutes, press OK to conrm your
settings for the rst block of Field Scan recording. If desired, you can
create a second block of time by pressing the DOWN key to select "B"
(Step 4), then press OK and follow the same process to set Start and
Stop times for Field Scan block "B" (Step 5). As an example of how you
might use these two available time blocks, you could setup Field Scan
time block "A" for the dawn hours from 6 AM to 8 AM, and block "B" to
capture images between 5:30 and 7 PM. No Field Scan recording would
occur from 8AM to 5:30PM, or from 7PM to 6AM.
6. After setting Start/Stop times to dene Field Scan block "A" and/or "B",
press OK, then press the UP or DOWN key to select "Interval" and press
OK (Step 6). The Field Scan "Interval" setting lets you control how often a
photo or video clip is recorded during the block(s) of time you dened
with the Start and Stop settings. Your options are 60 minutes, 30 minutes,
15 minutes, 5 minutes (this is the default), or 1 minute (still photo mode

Length of each video recording-it’s how often videos are recorded, not
how long each one lasts.
7. Here’s an example of how the camera would operate, based on the
following Field Scan settings:
Field Scan: On
Field Scan A:
[Start]: 6:00
[Stop]: 8:00
Field Scan B:
[Start]: 17:30
[Stop]: 19:00
Interval: 15M
Note: avoid any "overlap" of Field Scan A & B
recording blocks when setting their start and
stop times, to assure correct operation. Also-if the
"Camera Mode" menu parameter is set to "Day" or
"Night" operation only, that will take priority
over your Field Scan settings. Set the Camera
Model to "24 HR" if you are setting both day and
night start and/or stop times in Field Scan.
These settings would cause the camera to capture a photo (or video, if
the camera is set to that mode) once every 15 minutes, beginning at 6
AM, until the Field Scan "A" recording block stops at 8:00 AM. Later that
day, the camera would again take a photo or video every 15 minutes
between 5:30 PM and 7:00 PM (during Field Scan time block "B"). The
19
next day, the camera would again record an image or video once every
15 minutes between 6:00 and 8:00 AM, and between 5:30 and 7:00 PM.
No Field Scan recording would occur from 8AM to 5:30PM, or from 7PM
to 6AM. Remember, Field Scan recording is independent of normal
triggers due to animal activity–even if no animals enter the IR sensor
coverage zone, an image or video will still be captured every 15 minutes
during the block(s) of time. If an animal triggers the camera “in between”
the 15 minute intervals, it will be recorded.
Note: Field Scan settings of frequent intervals and/or long periods
between start and stop time can reduce battery life.
(Step 1)-set Field
Scan Mode to “On”
Steps 4 & 5 are
optional (only
required if you want to

MMS uses text messaging data to include photos or other media les within
certain size limits. Select "Auto Setting", then simply select the name of the
country and service provider. Select "Manual Setting" if "Auto" doesn't work
correctly, or if you wish to enter the URL, APN (host address), IP and Port for
your mobile carrier service yourself*.

Send By > MMS > Phone Numbers/Email Address
Select "Send By" then "MMS" and enter the mobile phone number(s) and/or
email addresses you want the camera's thumbnail images sent to.
Send By > Email via SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
An Internet email protocol, SMTP handles thumbnail images sent from
client (transmitting device) to an email server. Both MMS and SMTP allow
control of the camera remotely via text messages. Use SMTP to receive
images as data rather than text. Limited auto setup if your SIM has data
service active is available (for SMTP carrier info). You will still need to add
your personal email, address and password as sender in the "Manual
Settings" screen. Next, select the sender's "SMTP Type" (with or without
SSL), and input the receiver's email address ("Email Address" screen). We
recommend setting up a separate Gmail account for the camera to use
as "Sender".
Preferences > Thumbnail Size
Select "Image Size" then select a photo resolution to limit the size of each
transmitted thumbnail image based on your preference for quality vs.
your data plan limitations. VGA resolution=640x480 pixels per frame (0.3
megapixels-best quality), QVGA=320x240 (smallest les) and CIF= 352x288.
Your camera will capture and store (on its SD card) high resolution, full
quality images regardless of the setting you choose for the thumbnails.
Preferences > Daily Max Number
Select "Daily Number" then enter the maximum number of messages you
receive per day, from 1 up to 999.

The table on the next two pages lists the various text messages which you can
send to your camera, a short description of the result when it's received (action
or change to the setting of a Setup menu parameter), and the conrmation
response/display from the camera.
Text Message Notes:
• Command and Control of camera is accomplished via TXT message with
mobile phone. In MMS, this first mobile number is REQUIRED for control,
in SMTP, this is an option if you desire to send commands to the camera.
• In SMTP, after completing setup, you must then select MMS mode to set
the master control mobile number, then reselect Email via SMTP.
• If a command is not entered correctly, the camera will respond with
"Invalid command ! "
WAKE / ECO MODE OPERATION
Your 2G Wireless Trophy Cam HD operates by default in "ECO" mode, to
ensure the longest possible battery life. However, the use of "WAKE" mode
is required if you want the camera to "listen" for your remote (SMS text)
commands constantly-for example, #PIC# and other commands that require
an immediate action. In ECO mode, the camera can only check for and respond
to new commands when it connects to the network (per Send Interval when
triggered, and once per day during daily check in, around 3PM local time).
Both WAKE and ECO can be selected/changed via SMS text commands from
your smartphone. See page 31-32 for specific details.
If the camera is in ECO mode and you send the WAKE message, the camera will
respond at the next network connection opportunity (trigger or daily checkin) and switch to WAKE mode. If the camera is in WAKE mode and you send the
ECO message, the camera will respond to the command at once and switch
to ECO mode.
When the camera's power is first switched on (manually), it is in the default
ECO mode. If WAKE mode was previously selected remotely, and the camera
power is manually switched off then back on, WAKE mode operation will
resume after the first trigger.
Note: When the camera is in ECO mode, the PIC command will not work.
It will only function in WAKE mode.
