Select a suitable 3G SIM Card for the Camera Unit
Before purchasing or installing a SIM card into the camera unit, it is important to select the best 3G network provider in the area where the camera will be installed. This can be done simply using your own 3G mobile handset.*
The above steps are very similar on most phones; however, please refer to their user manual for details. Example: Searching for available 3G network using Nokia N95 handset: 1. Select: “ Menu -> Settings -> Phone -> Network”
Instruction: 1. Navigate to the phone “Network” settings. 2. Change the “Operator selection” setting from “Automatic” to “Manual”. This forces the handset to search for all available network coverage, and may take a few minutes. 3. The list of all available network operators will be displayed on the phone’s screen. 4. Note down the name of one or more network operator that provide 3G coverage from the list (they are usually displayed with a 3G sign next to their name). 5. Cancel the setting process on the handset to maintain the phone’s original network settings. Note: Only purchase 3G SIM cards from the 3G networks listed, whilst choosing one with a suitable price plan. BiBCOM also offers the best price plan available, being specifically tailored to the customer requirements for using the 3G surveillance system. Currently this offer is only available for 3G SIM Cards using BT network.
2. Set: “Operator Selection” to “Manual”
3. Wait until the list of all available networks are displayed.
Note: Remember to disable video and voice mail facilities on the SIM card before installing it into the camera unit.
*Phone must be compatible with country of use as the 3G frequency may vary.
