Get to Know Your B-Link Secure Cellular Outdoor Camera
The B-Link Camera will already have the SIM Card inserted and programmed. We recommend you use NiMH batteries for better performance on battery life. Insert the SD memory card with gold contacts facing downward. Next, you will insert the batteries and close the cover.
Note: Please use high-quality AA batteries in order to protect battery cells from corrosion caused by leaked acid. If using DC power, REMOVE batteries before doing so. We recommend you use the included cable with a (12V/2A) adapter.
Switch the power button to the on position and the camera will automatically enter PIR mode if the keypad is not active within 60 seconds. In order to do further configuration, switch the device to the ON position manually.
