Please read this information before using your YOYOCam.
General
YOYOCam is a GSM (2G) product. Make sure your SIM card and subscription support
services over 2G for SMS, MMS and voice calls.
All GSM based functions, such as calls and SMS messaging, are dependent on network
performance and availability.
While YOYOCam is on a voice call (Alarm call, Emergency call, dial-in to listen call), it is
unable to send SMS or MMS messages.
Test any Voice Call Alarm and Emergency Alarm calls to landlines to make sure that
YOYOCam does not block the landline user from making further calls. (This is a property of
the landline telephone network from some providers).
Photography in public places may be subject to restrictions – make sure YOYOCam is
operated according to all applicable laws.
Safety and Usage Guidelines
YOYOCam must be used according to the instructions in this User Guide.
When inserting or removing the SIM card, do not touch the gold connectors.
Use only the approved YOYOMotion G3 AC power adaptor (Do not use a G2 power adaptor).
The AC Power adaptor is for indoor use only and must not be used in damp conditions.
Treat your YOYOCam carefully; store it safely and do not drop or throw it or otherwise subject
it to shock.
Do not expose your YOYOCam to dust, liquid, moisture or humidity.
Do not use or store your YOYOCam at extreme high or low temperatures.

Interacting with YOYOCam
General Command Format
Commands and Parameters
Master and Users interact with YOYOCam by sending SMS messages that contain specially
formatted textual commands. YOYOCam typically responds with confirmation text by SMS. Where the
command is a request for images, these are sent by MMS or E-mail.
Generic format of a simple command:
Command:#CommandCode#
Example:#01#
Response:YOYOCam is armed
Generic format of a command that needs extra information (a parameter):
Command:#CommandCode#Parameter#
Response:SMS confirmation or images by MMS or E-mail
Example:#06#+46702222222#
Response:+46702222222 USER phone number has been added
Note: There must never be any space characters in a command.
Generic format of a command taking multiple parameters:
Command:#CommandCode#Parameter1#Parameter2#Parameter3#Parameter4# …
Example:#106#+46704444444#+46705555555#+46706666666#
Response:+46704444444
+46705555555
+46706666666
Emergency phone number added
Note: Commands always begin and end with the # character, and a # separates each required
parameter.
Note: In some cases all parameters must be supplied; in others like the one above, as many
parameters as required can be supplied.
YOYOCam G3 User Guide v0.2Page 18
Telephone Numbers
Some commands require telephone numbers parameters, for example when adding a User or an
Emergency number. You can supply numbers in International format (strongly recommended) or
national format.
For example:
International format:+46702222222
National format:0702222222
Note: Do not include spaces or any other character in phone numbers.
Note: National format number work most of the time, however International format is more reliable.
This can be very important in some cases, for example, when changing the Master.
YOYOCam treats a number in International format as different from one in National format. For
example, if you send #06#+46702222222# and #06#+46702222222#, YOYOCam will not recognise
that they are both actually the same user, and will configure two users, one with the number in each
format.

For more information see SMS Notification when power supply changes.
YOYOCam G3 User Guide v0.2Page 19
Arm and Disarm YOYOCam
When YOYOCam is armed, it will raise the alarm when a sensor is triggered. When YOYOCam is
disarmed, it will not raise any alarms unless external sensors have been specifically programmed to
also trigger alarms at any time. YOYOCam is typically disarmed when the property is attended, for
example during working hours, when normal movements would cause only false alarms. YOYOCam
is armed when the property is unattended, for example outside office hours.

YOYOCam Settings
Master, Users & Guests
YOYOCam has three levels of user:
Master: has complete control over YOYOCam, receives alarms & notifications, and can
request images.
User: has some control over YOYOCam and can request images.
Guest: can request images using the Password supplied by the Master.
Master

also clears the Master user, and it must be set again as if for the first time.
To set Master user for the first time:
From your mobile phone, either:
1. Send an SMS with text #00# to YOYOCam.
2. YOYOCam confirms your phone as Master by SMS, Välkommen till YOYOCam. Lösen är'1234', (Welcome to YOYOCam. The default password is 1234.) You are now the Master and

Sensor Settings
You can set up which sensors trigger the alarm when YOYOCam is armed.
Infrared Body Detector
The infrared body detector works by detecting the heat emitted from a body moving in front of it.
Note: When YOYOCam is operating on low battery, the infrared body detector is automatically
disabled. It is not possible to re-enable it until the battery has been charged or external power is
connected.
Camera Motion Detection
YOYOCam takes images periodically and compares the latest image with the previous one. If there is
a significant difference, YOYOCam assumes something has moved, for example a person has
walked in front of the camera. YOYOCam raises the alarm.
Turn On:#22#1#
Response:Motion detection - enabled
Turn Off:#22#0#(Default)
Response:Motion detection – disabled
Note: The number of pictures sent after motion detection is by default set to 5.
Note: Command #142#0# will set the number of pictures at motion detection to be the same as the
number of pictures at IR detection.
Note: When YOYOCam is operating on low battery, the camera movement detector is automatically
disabled. It is not possible to re-enable it until the battery has been charged or external power is
connected.
Note: Be careful to position YOYOCam so that there is no unwanted motion in view, for example a
tree shaking in the wind or a cat jumping in to the field of vision.
Note: By default the IR LEDs will be constantly lit when the Camera Motion Detection is activated and
the surrounding light is poor.

Wireless Sensors
You can add up to 15 external wireless sensors which operate on the 433MHz standard. When
YOYOCam is armed and a sensor is triggered, YOYOCam will emit a warning bleep and raise an
alarm by SMS only or SMS followed by MMS, according to the way the sensor is configured.
There are two alarm modes for wireless sensors:
Armed-Only Mode: sensor only triggers the alarm when the YOYOCam is armed. This mode
is good for door sensors and infrared sensors.
Always-On Mode: sensor will always trigger the alarm (even when YOYOCam is disarmed).
This mode is good for smoke detectors, gas detectors, panic buttons.
Armed-Only ModeSMS notification upon alarm
Armed-Only ModeSMS and MMS notification upon alarm
Always-On ModeSMS notification upon alarm
Note: SensorDescription is a textual name (up to 15 numbers and letters) that you choose to
identify the sensor. Use only plain alphabetical characters, i.e. do not use å, ä, ö, ç, ñ etc. If
no name is supplied, YOYOCam names the sensors Sensor1, Sensor2, Sensor3…
3. YOYOCam emits a bleep tone and the indicator flashes alternate red and green.
4. YOYOCam sends a notification SMS: YOYOCam is ready to connect a sensor. Please
activate the sensor now.

YOYOCam
If YOYOCam is set to call a landline, check that hanging up the landline clears the call. Some
telephone networks do not clear the call when the called end hangs up, making it impossible to dial a
new call. You must make a test call to ensure that the Emergency Number is not blocked by the call
from YOYOCam:
1. Add the landline as an Emergency number.
2. Press the Emergency button.
3. Let the call ring at the Master phone but do not answer (or allow voicemail to take the call).
4. When the call rings at the landline, answer and check that you can hear audio from
YOYOCam.
5. Hang up the call at the landline.
6. Wait 10 seconds.
7. Pick up the Landline:
If you hear dialling tone and can make another call, your line is not blocked.
If you still hear YOYOCam, the incoming call is blocking your landline. This is a property
of your telephone network.
8. Hang up the call again.
9. If your line was blocked, now wait 3 or 5 minutes to see if the landline network disconnects
the call.
10. Pick up the Landline:
If you hear dialling tone and can make another call, your line is now unblocked. You
should only dial this landline if the user has an alternative means of dialling a call, for
example, using a separate mobile phone.
If you still hear YOYOCam, the incoming call is still blocking your landline. You must not
program YOYOCam to dial this line.
Mobile phone networks normally allow the called party to end the call and are therefore emergency
calls to mobile phones should be able to end the call and immediately make a new call.
Note: YOYOCam cannot send MMS images while a voice call is in progress.

Response:YOYOCam has been reset to default settings
YOYOCam G3 User Guide v0.2Page 52
Troubleshooting
Problem: YOYOCam cannot register a Master
Possible Causes: YOYOCare has already a registered Master
Possible Solution: Master Reset your YOYOCare and then register again
Problem: Master is not recognized
Possible Cause: The master number was presented to YOYOCam in national format when set up and
now the number is being presented in International format, or vice versa. YOYOCam treats national
and international format numbers as different.
Problem: Service Registration fails
Possible Causes: Temporary network problem
Possible Solution: Make sure your GSM subscription supports GPRS and that you have the right
network specific parameters.
Problem: Cannot receive SMS from YOYOCam
Possible Causes: Subscription can be out of credit, or there is a temporary network problem.
Possible Solution: Make sure your GSM subscription has sufficient credit. Wait for the network to
recover or contact your network service provider for assistance.
Problem: YOYOCam rejects my phone call
Possible Causes: The caller’s phone-number is not recognised as the Master or a User.
Possible Solution: Check and make sure you are calling from the correct phone number and that your
phone is sending the number (Calling Line Identification), and your phone number is added to
YOYOCare. Master can check the user list by sending SMS command “UL”.
Problem: Cannot receive MMS from YOYOCam
Possible Causes: The MMS service is not activated. The MMS profile has incorrect parameters.
There is a temporary network problem.
Possible Solution: Test the SIM in a regular cell phone to verify the MMS service is activated and that
correct MMS settings are used. Check the MMS settings in YOYOCare by sending the SMS
command #55#. MMS messages take normally longer time to deliver compared to SMS messages.
Problem: SIM Card requires a PIN
Possible Solution: Insert the SIM in to another Mobile Phone and access the Settings to disable the
SIM PIN.
Problem: Cannot dial in and listen
Possible Cause: The number was set up in national format and when the Master or User dials in, the
mobile network presents the number in International format or vice versa. YOYOCam treats national
and international format of the same number as two different numbers.
Possible Solution: Set up User number in national or international format and re-test. Set twice in both
formats.
YOYOCam G3 User Guide v0.2Page 53
Problem: Remote Control does not operate
Possible Cause: Remote control has not been paired with YOYOCam
Possible Solution: Follow the procedure Pairing your YOYOCam with a Remote Control.
Possible Cause: Remote control battery is low..
Possible Solution: Replace the battery. The correct type is a CR2032 manufactured by Panasonic.
Possible Cause: You are too far away from YOYOCam.
Possible Solution: Move closer to YOYOCam. Note that steel doors and solid walls will reduce the
operating distance.
Problem: Error response ERR_IND 4_0
YOYOCam responds: The network is busy. No image has been sent. ERR_IND 4_0.
Possible Solution: Check that MMS settings are correct.
Possible solution: Ensure GSM coverage and the signal strength is sufficient. If weak you may
receive SMS but not MMS.
Problem: Error response Wrong parameters. Please check and try again.
YOYOCam did not understand the parameters included with the SMS command. For example, in
command #33#Quantity#, #33#1# will fail because Quantity must be between 2 and 8..
Problem: The status indicator is off
Possible cause: The back-up battery is flat or not connected and there is no external power.
Possible solution: Check the battery connection and connect power
Problem: The status indicator stays on slow red blink
The SIM-card in YOYOCam has the PIN-lock enabled.
Place the SIM card in a mobile phone to check and if necessary switch off PIN-lock
Problem: YOYOCam is out of reach for GSM-coverage.
Possible solution: Try YOYOCam in different positions for better signal strength, or use a high-gain
external antenna with extension cable.
Problem: There is no SIM-card or it is not properly inserted.
Possible solution: Check that the SIM card is inserted according to the instructions in STEP 1
Problem: The SIM-card is inactive (expired, locked, not yet activated ...).
Possible solution: Check the SIM card in a mobile phone and contact your mobile operator if
necessary.
Problem: The status indicator is on green blink but YOYCam responds that a
password is required or that you are not valid user.
YOYOCam has not yet got a registered Master.
Problem: SMS-messages but no MMS-images are received from YOYOCam.
Possible cause: YOYOCam was disarmed (by #01# -command or Remote Control) too quickly after
detection / SMS notification and the MMS transmission was interrupted.
Possible solution: Allow more time (until the status indicator has stopped blinking) before disarming.
Problem: The SIM-card does not have MMS service activated at delivery.
Possible solution: Easily done by sending an activation-SMS from a regular mobile phone with the
SIM-card inserted. Consult the homepage or contact your mobile operator.
YOYOCam G3 User Guide v0.2Page 54
Problem: The SIM-card is from a “Mobile Virtual Network Operator”.
Possible solution: See STEP3 Set Up YOYOCam G3 to set up listed MVNOs. Send #145# to your
YOYOCam’s mobile number and get the list of MVNO codes.
Problem: The SIM-card is from a foreign mobile operator
Get current MMS settings with #55#
Set up MMS manually. See Mobile Network Settings section of the User Guide.
Problem: YOYOCam set up with manual MMS settings but they are wrong
Get current settings by sending #55# to your YOYOCam’s mobile number. Compare with the settings
required for your mobile operator.
Return to automatic MMS set up (factory default) by sending #54# to your YOYOCam’s mobile
number.
Problem: Poor GSM 2G coverage. Signal strength is enough for SMS, but not
for MMS.
Relocate YOYOCam to a place with better coverage.
Try a SIM-card from another mobile operator.
Use a high-gain external antenna with extension cable.
Problem: Master receives SMS “External power lost...” followed by a new SMS
“External power, resumed”
AC power was temporarily cut. This can sometimes be caused by electrical machinery or heating
switching on or off, and getting detected by YOYOCam. This has no functional impact on YOYOCam.
The built-in back-up battery keeps it running.
The SMS power notifications can be switched off by sending #144#0# to your YOYOCam’s mobile
number.
Problem: Master receives SMS saying that an incoming message is being
forwarded.
Incoming SMS from unregistered users are forwarded to the Master. This is a security precaution in
case someone is trying to access YOYOCam. This function is also useful if operators notify when the
credit is low.
The forwarding function can be turned off by sending #204#0# to your YOYOCam’s mobile number.
Problem: Master receives SMS every time YOYOCam is armed or disarmed by the Remote
Control
This is to notify the Master if the arm/disarm status is changed.
The arm/disarm notification can be switched off by sending #137#0# to your YOYOCam’s mobile
number.
Problem: Master receives SMS every time YOYOCam is armed or disarmed per
preset schedule
This is to notify the Master that the arm/disarm status is changed.
The arm/disarm notification is withheld by sending #176#0# to your YOYOCam’s mobile number.
