3. Log in and click the Camera icon

at the bottom of the screen, then

click “+” to add a new camera. Scan

the QR code on the label inside your

camera again or manually enter its

serial # to associate this camera

with your account.

4. Install 12 AA batteries (Energizer®

lithium batteries are recommended.

Alkaline batteries may be used

but battery life will be shorter.

Rechargeable batteries are not

recommended). Be sure to position

the batteries for correct polarity

(+/-) when installing.

5. Install a new SD card, up to

32GB. High speed cards (class 10

or higher) are recommended if you

plan to record video clips.

6. Remove the solar panel from the

top of the camera and remove the

protective film from the contact

points. Re-install the panel and

tighten the thumb screw.

7. Your CelluCORE 20 Solar is

equipped with a dual SIM modem.

The camera will automatically

connect to the carrier with the

strongest service (ATT or Verizon)

each time the camera is powered

on. If you want to ensure you have

the strongest signal in a given

area, simply power the camera

off and power it back on. This will

ensure you have maximum signal

strength. (We recommend using

your camera in a location that gives

you minimally two bars of signal

strength. Lower signal strength can

cause interruptions in service and

shorten battery life.)

8. Your Cellucore 20 Solar comes

equipped with a detachable solar

panel. Removing and repositioning

the panel allows you to achieve

maximum sunlight and solar

charging regardless of where

the camera lens is pointed. To

reposition your panel, remove the

thumb screw from the back of the

solar panel and mount the panel

in another location using a 1/4x20

mounting bracket (not included).

(Hint: replace the thumb screw

so that you do not misplace it.)

Connect the panel to the camera

with the included alternate power

supply cable. (This cable is only

needed when the solar panel is

detached from the camera)

9. At the location where you will

place the camera, move the power

switch to the On position. The

camera’s default settings were

OFF ON

chosen for typical usage as a

scouting camera for hunters: photo

mode at 2MP resolution, with a 10

second interval between photos,

and “Medium” LED flash power

output. These settings may be easily

changed to suit your individual

preferences or application (for

example, if you would rather capture

videos, or photos at a different

resolution, spaced further apart),

using the app on your smartphone

or home computer.

10. Prior to closing the camera,

ensure the camera has acquired

cellular signal and is operating

properly by checking the camera

status indicator lights and guide.

Lower signal strength can cause

interruptions in service and shorten

battery life.

Mount the camera to a tree or post

using the provided tree strap or

1/4”-20 mounting socket.

Your wireless camera is now ready to use. You can now utilize

the mobile application or management website to review

images, change camera settings, monitor battery life and

manage your account.

SETTINGS MENU

CAMERA MODE - Selects type of image files that are stored/

transmitted (note: see “Hybrid” under Video submenu).

IMAGE - Still images will be captured by the camera at

settings made in the PHOTO menu.

MOVIE - Video clips will be captured at settings made in the

VIDEO menu. NOTE: your full HD video files will be stored on

the SD card, but they cannot be transmitted wirelessly due to

the file size/cell carrier bandwidth.

HYBRID- Captures a single image followed by a video clip.

IMAGE RESOLUTION - Selects resolution (in megapixels)

for still photos. Higher resolution provides more pixels for

increased detail, but creates larger files that take up more

of the SD card capacity (fills up faster). Available settings

are: Low, medium and high. Low is the default setting, which

will deliver excellent detail while still keeping the file size per

image reasonable for most users.

CAPTURES PER TRIGGER- Selects the number of photos

captured per trigger event, with settings from 1 to 5 (default

is 1 photo per trigger).

VIDEO RESOLUTION - Selects resolution for video clips.

Choice of 1280x720 (720p), or 960x544 (544p).

VIDEO LENGTH - Selects duration of each video clip captured

per trigger. The default setting is 5S (five seconds per video).

From the 10 SEC setting up, length settings are in 5 second

increments. Maximum video length is 20 Seconds.

CAMERA NAME - Allows you to enter up to 12 characters

of your choice to identify this camera. Especially useful for

multi-camera setups. This will be imprinted on each photo.

Default name is “CORE CAM”.

PIR DELAY - Selects the length of time that the camera will

ignore additional triggers from the PIR after an animal is

first detected and remains within the sensor’s range. During

this user set interval, the camera will not capture photos

or videos. For example, if a second trigger event occurs

7 seconds after the first, but the delay time is set to 10

seconds, the second trigger will be ignored and a new image

will not be captured until the 10 seconds has elapsed. Only

the next trigger that occurs after 10 seconds will take a new

photo/video, and so on. This prevents the card from filling up

with too many redundant images. The default setting is 10

SEC (a ten second delay). From the 10 SEC setting up, delay

settings are in 5 second increments. After scrolling past “59

SEC”, settings go from “1 MIN” to “10 MIN” and then progress

to 60 MIN at five-minute increments (15 MIN, 20MIN, etc.).

WORK MODE - Determines when the PIR (passive infrared)

sensor will activate the camera and capture images.

DAY - 6:00 A.M. - 6:00 P.M.

NIGHT - 6:00 P.M. - 6:00 A.M.

24HRS – PIR Sensor triggers 24 hours a day.

Flash Mode:

SHORT RANGE – This is Medium LED output and fast shutter

speed that is designed to capture good images of animals up

close. This setting will provide the longest battery life but the

shortest flash range.

FAST MOTION – This setting has maximum flash output and

fast shutter speed. It will provide the sharpest images and

medium flash range and battery life.

LONG RANGE – This setting has High LED output and Slow

shutter speed and provides maximum flash range but the

least battery life. You will also see more “motion blur” if the

objects are moving quickly at night.

TIMESTAMP - The date and time will be set once the camera

has connected to the server and will be imprinted on all

images.

WIRELESS - Sets cellular signal transmission to ON (default)

or OFF.

Communication Frequency:

IMMEDIATELY - Images will be transmitted immediately after

they are captured and saved to the SD card.

DAILY - All new images will be transmitted only once daily.

WEEKLY – All new images will be transmitted once per week.

(This setting will give you the best battery life).

MOUNTING & POSITIONING

After you’ve set up the camera’s settings to your

preferences, you’re ready start capturing images.

We recommend mounting the camera on a sturdy tree or

post with a diameter of about 6 in. To get the optimal picture

quality, the camera should be about 16-17 ft. away from the
