camera, triggered by any movement of humans or
animals monitored by a high sensitive Passive
Infrared (PIR) motion sensor, and then
automatically captures high quality pictures (up to
8M pixels) or records video clips (720P HD)
according to default settings or preset customer
settings. It will then send the pictures instantly to
your mobile device or email via GSM/GPRS/MMS

photo area of the camera. It supports
