The Uway MB500 is a well camouflaged black flash camera with GSM function. This means that it can function as a stand alone black flash camera with HD video and audio recording capabilities while also being able to send photos to your email address and phone numbers. It can operate in MMS (text messaging) and GPRS (data) modes. In MMS it will consume a text message on your cell phone plan for each photo. In GPRS it will consume a small amount of your monthly bandwidth on your cell phone plan.
It utilizes a color viewing screen that allows for photo viewing as well as video playback.
The battery compartment warehouses 12 AA batteries and Lithium Ion are recommended. We always perform our battery life using Rayovac Alkalines which means battery life will be improved using Lithium AA or the external battery.
The sensing tests revealed sensing beyond 60 feet at 41 degrees.
