IMPORTANT NOTE: The TCS-CAM is no longer in production. We now produce the new model TCS-CAM II, with jpeg compression and available in GSM and GPRS. The TCS-CAM is robust and easy to use, nevetherless there are a few things to consider when using it for the first time. This page contains most important informations to enable you to use your TCS-CAM. Basically you need to: 1- insert a SIM that does not ask for a PIN code (to remove this request you should insert it in a phone and select this feature). Once you have succesfully switched on your TCS-CAM you may program a PIN into it using the #PIN command and then you can insert a SIM with that PIN you have programmed. 2- Always connect the battery connector first and apply the external supply only after having done it. 3- You can connect to the DC input any DC voltage from 12 to 20V. This enables you to use either the supplied AC adapter, a car battery or a Solar Panel. 4- If you use a solar panel please note that the backup batteries will not last for more than 1 hour of calls (or 24 hours in stand-by) when charged. If you need a longer capacity you should connect an external lead battery with a proper charger. Operation: When the camera switches on: first the green LED will flash every 2 seconds then it will flash every second while registering to the network Once registered it will flash every 4 seconds With an ongoing call the LED will flash every second. Once the camera has registered to the network you can call it using the TCS-CAM-CONTROLLER software that is available for download on the main tcs cam page. TCS-CAM SMS Commands The TCS-CAM has some SMS commands that are used to program telephone numbers, set clock etc. some of them are similar to the TCS 3.5 commands with some limitations. If you are not familiar with our TCS boards here are some explanations: Commands to the TCS-CAM must be sent via SMS You can group commands together Every command must start with # and must be in CAPITAL LETTERS the #INI command ERASES any previous setting so be careful when issuing it. A common mistake is to send a #INI at the end, after other commands. This will erase previous commands. a command SMS must always start with #PWD followed by a 6 digits alphanumeric password (default is 123456) The camera is shipped with both Admin and User password set at 123456, use #CAP and #CUP commands if you want to change them. The TCS-CAM will answer to your commands with an SMS (unless you put the #NOA command at the end of the command SMS), but in order to be able to answer, it needs a valid SMS center number that you should ask to your operator. A common first command to send to your TCS-CAM is #PWD123456#SCAyour_operator_sms_number#SCT The above command will setup the SMS center number that you will write in place of your_operator_sms_number and will synchronize TCS-CAM clock with your operator clock. In details, available commands are: #CAP: Change Admin Password #CUP: Change User Password #INI: INItialize: Initializes all parameters to the INIT default value #NOA: NO Acknowledgment: inhibits SMS acknowledgment #PIN: PIN: Program PIN code that will be asked at power up #OUT: Sets or resets the OUTput pins #PWD: gives PassWorD to enable any following command by SMS #PWR: Reads/Writes PoWeR variables #SCA: Reads/Writes Reads/Writes the Service Center Address #SCT: Sets internal Clock with Telecom operator clock and date #TEL: Sets the gsm TELephone number ( only 01) to which alarms will be sent #VER?: Software Version This is a temporary information and will be updated soon.

Push the small yellow button to eject the SIM holder 2- Remove the PIN code from your SIM (use a telephone to do it and check it does not ask for the PIN when you switch the telephone ON). With the unit switched OFF, insert the SIM into the SIM holder and insert it back into its place until it locks. 3- Insert the battery connector into its place as shown in the above picture. VERY IMPORTANT: first insert the battery and AFTER insert the AC plug as shown below. 4- Insert the DC plug into its place as shown in the picture above. A DC Voltage from 12 to 20 V can be applied to this power input, i.e. the supplied AC adapter or a solar panel. 5- Here is a list of the connectors of the TCS-CAM 6- Here is a schematic of the Input and Output circuitry available on the 8 pin RJ45 type connector. Input is TTL level and should not be connected to a wire longer than 1 mt, this Input is active low, i.e. TCS-CAM freezes a picture and sends a message to TEL01 when this Input is connected to GND. Output is a 200 ma Open Collector transistor. It siwtches on while the camera is taking pictures and can be used to drive a light.
