A personal computer running the X-Series Network Manager software connects to the base.2 This software is used to receive the pictures or videos and change the camera settings. The following base options are available:

1 Transmission distance is affected by terrain and other interference. Transmission distance may be increased with optional high gain antennas and/or repeaters.
2 For the camera base, a computer is not required to connect to the base. One camera acts as a base to receive the pictures from all other cameras. The pictures received at the camera base are stored on its SD card.
3 The X-Series Network Manager Software is installed on the PC of which the PCBase is connected. This PC needs to be running 24/7 in order for pictures received to be on forwarded to email recipients. Trap and sensor triggering can only be undertaken at this PC.
4 Requires a specialist SIM card configured with a public IP address and an annual subscription to Buckeye Cam's Interactive Site (cloud service) to enable trap/sensor triggering from a mobile phone while on the go.
