This camera, a digital scouting camera with communication function, is a
digital, black flash (no red glow from the flash emitters when
activated at night) surveillance camera that can be triggered by any
human or animal movement and is monitored by a highly
sensitive Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor. After being
triggered, the camera then automatically captures high quality
pictures (up to 36M pixels) or records video clips (1080 FHD).
MG984G-36M: This model instantly sends pictures or videos (less than 10M)
to your mobile device / to your e-mail via your chosen GPRS network.
You will only be alerted when the camera is triggered - unless
otherwise set per custom settings. It takes color pictures or videos
during the day with sufficient daylight. While at night, the built-in black
flash LEDs can take clear night pictures or videos (these will be in black
& white).
