How do I get the App for the QC8067 4G 1080P Outdoor Trail Camera to work?

The QC8067 4G Trail camera can accept phone SIM cards with a data plan from Optus or Telstra by default. If you want to use other telcos, please update the firmware.

Make sure the SIM card has been activated by the telco before you put it into the camera, as some telcos will take hours to activate new SIMs. To check it was activated successfully, put the SIM in a mobile phone, and make sure you can browse the web with the Wi-Fi switched off. 

Once the SIM is activated, install it in the camera (Notch cut faces out and down).

Switch the camera into SETUP mode and look at the screen - there should be a signal-bars symbol in the top row with some arrows above it. 

The signal indicator arrows will turn white when the camera has successfully made contact with its server via the Telco network. It can take some time for the camera to register with the telco, so please give it a minute or two.

If the arrows are red, the SIM card is not a supported type (update the firmware), is not activated, or there are no compatible telco towers within range.

For telcos other than Optus or Telstra, you need to update the firmware, and set the telco APN (Access Point Name - internet gateway) in the camera to match your camera's SIM card telco APN.

Once you have updated the firmware, switch to SETUP, press MENU, use the arrows & OK to go to the Cellular menu, then to APN, and use the up/down arrows to enter the APN letters and full-stops as needed, and press the right arrow to go to the next letter. Press OK when done to save.

Australian APNs - check with your telco in case they have changed: 

Aldi - TELSTRA.INTERNET or MDATA.NET.AU

Amaysim - INTERNET or YESINTERNET

Optus - CONNECT or CONNECTME

Telstra, Boost - TELSTRA.MMS

Vodafone, TPG, Kogan - LIVE.VODAFONE.COM

New Zealand APNs - check with your telco in case they have changed: :

Spark - INTERNET or DIRECT.TELECOM.CO.NZ

Vodafone - INTERNET or VODAFONE

Pairing the QC8067 camera with the App

Open the Camera Trap Wireless App, create an account, confirm the email it sends you, click the Camera icon at the bottom of the app, and then click the +.

On the camera, switch to SETUP, and use the arrows & OK button to go to the Cellular menu. Choose the QR code option and use the phone app to scan the QR code on the camera screen. You should be able to connect to it via the app shortly after.

Note that the speed of the telco network determines how long it takes to refresh the list of images from the camera - it is not instantaneous.

Selling/returning/gifting the QC8067 camera to someone else?

If you want to give the camera to someone else, you need to remove it from the App by pressing the Bin icon, or the next user will not be able to connect the camera to their account in the App.
