Mobile Scouting Camera
Ltl‐5210M Series
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Introduction
The Ltl Acorn M Series (Model Ltl‐5210MC and Ltl‐5210MM) is the second generation of our Ltl‐5210
scouting camera. Bundled with the MMS‐module (Multimedia Messaging Service) battery box (Part #
LTL‐MM), the standard scouting camera (Part # Ltl‐5210M) can be upgraded to work as a remote cellular
camera. With its highly sensitive Passive Infra‐Red (PIR) sensor, the camera detects the sudden change
of ambient temperature caused by moving game in a region of interest (ROI), triggers to take
pictures/videos, and sends the images via GSM network to the user’s cell phone or email account.
Features:
• Programmable 5 or 12‐Megapixel high‐quality resolution.
• Infrared night vision LEDs for flash range as far as 65 feet
• In “Cam + Video” mode, camera takes both pictures and video at every trigger event
• Ultra low standby power consumption. Extremely long in‐field life (in standby mode, up to 6 months
with 8 x AA batteries)
• Unique side Prep Sensor design provides wider sensing angle and enhances camera’s response speed
• Perform in the most extreme temperatures from ‐22°F to 158°F
• Compact size (5 ½ x 3 ½ x 2 ½ inches). Well designed to deploy covertly
• Impressively quick trigger time (1.2 second)
• In Time Lapse setting, the camera automatically and constantly takes pictures/videos at specified
interval. This is very useful when observing plants flowering, birds building nest, or when monitoring
unattended properties such as parking lots
• With Timer setting on, the camera can be programmed to only work in specified period every day. This
feature can work together with Time Lapse feature
• Backpack‐looking tree grabber makes mounting and aiming a snap
• Serial Number setting enables you to code locations in the photos. This helps multi‐camera users
identify the location when reviewing the photos
• Built‐in 2 ¼” TFT color display to review images and videos
• Date, time, temperature and moon phase can be stamped in the pictures
• Lockable and password protected
• Two MMS image sizes to choose: 640 x 480 or 320 x 240
• Users can configure the Camera and MMS function either by running the enclosed CD on the
computer, or directly on the built‐in TFT display.
• Separation of the Camera and the MMS module provides users flexibility: starting with the value
model as a standard scouting camera, and upgrading to the premium model with MMS function.
• If local area mobile signal is bad , Could not send MMS, Also can choose to send a text message(SMS).
Message content is taking pictures time and Camera serial number.
• Our Advanced Remote Cellular Technology transmits images to your cell phone and email account
constantly at lower battery consumption and shorter transmission time, compared to products of its
kind on the market.
• Automatically send text alert when battery power level goes low
• Check cellular signal information on the built‐in TFT display in the field
• All MMS pictures saved in SD card as well as the original ones
• Internal antenna design makes the camera portable while still emitting strong signal
• Operates globally via GSM/GPRS network. Supports four bands: 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900MHz.

ws
you to proogram the camera to workk the way youu want. Pleasee make refereence to 3.1 Parameter Setttings
in the Advvanced Operaation section.
Under thee test mode, oone useful function you would like is teesting the work area of thee PIR (Passivee
Infrared) sensor, specifically the sen
nsing angle an
nd distance. TTo perform th
he test:
• First straap the camerra on a tree aiming the reggion of interesst (ROI).
owly from one side of the ROI to the other parallel t o the cameraa. Try differen
• Walk slo nt distances aand
angles fro
om the camerra.
• If the Motion Indicator flashes blue, it indicates the position from where you are detected by one of
the side Prep PIR sensors. If the Motion Indicator flashes red, it indicates the position from where you
are captured by the main PIR sensor. By doing this test, you can find the best placement when mounting
and aiming the camera. In general, you are recommended to place the camera 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2
meters) above the ground.
To avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances, please do not aim the
camera at a heat source (i.e. the sun) or nearby tree branches and limbs. The ideal direction to aim at is
North or South. Also, remove any limbs close to the front of the camera.
2.5 Enter Live Mode
Switch to the ON position to enter the live mode. The Motion Indicator will flash red for about 10
seconds and the camera starts working by itself without any manual handling. It will at once shoot
pictures or record videos when game or other objects enter the PIR area of the main sensor directly. If
the game enters the PIR area of the prep sensors from the side, the prep sensors detect the movement
and activate the camera. While the game keeps moving into the PIR area of the main sensor, the camera
takes photos/videos immediately. If the game roams away after entering the PIR area of the prep
sensors, the camera will power off and enter standby mode.
2.6 Advantages of Prep Sensors
In general, to save battery power, an Infer‐Red camera is in “sleep” mode, with only the PIR sensor
working. When game is detected by the PIR sensor, the camera is powered on and starts shooting
pictures. The time period from being activated to starting firing is called trigger time. The trigger time
varies among different scouting camera brands in the market, generally from 1 to 5 plus seconds. Our Ltl
Acorn scouting camera has an impressive 1.2 second trigger time. However, when game passes across
very quickly, the picture may only capture the rear part of the body, and possibly nothing at all.
With the unique side prep PIR sensors design, our Ltl Acorn solves this issue. The combination of the two
side prep sensors and the main sensor comes up with a 100 to 120° angle of induction, a very wide cope
far outweighing the 50 ° angle of the camera lens. When game first crosses the PIR area of the prep
sensor, the camera is activated and ready to shoot after 1 second. If the game continually enters into
the PIR area of the main sensor, the camera takes pictures immediately, therefore catching the whole
body of the game. This split‐second process could be as short as 0.2 second.
In the case the game browses only in the PIR area of the prep sensors, to avoid the camera being
powered on constantly, the system is designed to work in the following way: If the game does not enter
the PIR area of the main sensor and therefore not trigger the main sensor, the camera will power off
after 3 seconds. If the trigger events consecutively happened twice only in the PIR area of the prep
sensors, the camera will not be activated by the side prep sensors, but only by the main sensor. So later
on when the game enters the PIR area of the main sensor eventually, since it is not in fast movement,
the picture will by all means capture the whole body of the game based on our standard 1.2 second
response time.
ADVANCED SETTINGS
The Ltl Acorn trail camera comes with preset manufacturer settings. You can change the settings to
meet your requirements. Please make sure the camera is in the test mode.
3.1 Parameter Settings

Lttl‐5210M Seriies camera caan work on up p to 12 voltagges. The 4 AA
A batteries in tthe camera, tthe 4
AA batterries in the batttery box, and d the external power suppply form a threee‐path parallel circuit. Eaach
path is iso
olated from others and does not charge e nor dischargge others. As a result, the camera can
extend itss life in the fie
eld by being p
powered by an external soolar panel.
5.3 SD Card
There are
e plenty of different brand SD cards on tthe market. W
We tested on our camera aas many bran

To extendd the battery life, you are sstrongly suggested to use 8 AA alkalinee batteries whhen having the
camera ruunning in Vide eo mode or CCam+Video mode. Comparred to produccts of its kind on the markeet,
our camera takes thirty percent mo ore full‐length
h video clips. Besides that, when batterry power getss low,
our camera automatically shortens the video len ngth so as to ttake more clips of more gaame. As a ressult,
the total n
number of vid deo clips doubles, even triples that of pproducts of itss kind, which provides useers
with more e useful information.
