I have recently been assembling a test setup ( see figure 1 ) in preparation for testing the updated Acorn 6210MGX and then doing comparison tests with the ScoutGuard SG550M-8M and SG880MK-8M models.

I received the 6210 last Tuesday and have been working with it all week. This camera is the updated unit using the SIM900 GPRS module which has previously had connection and self triggering issues.

So far this test camera has had no problems other than not having functioning SMS remote control; and today I received word from Acorn that they have got the remote control working and cameras are now  available with this function.

I will be testing the remote control function as soon as possible but meanwhile I will continue putting this camera through the grinder to see if I can

My workload has become very heavy in recent months and a good part of it is dealing with basic requirements such as providing manuals and software which is sometimes missing from the CD supplied with the Acorn cameras.

6210 Delivery update and Firmware/Software News

I'm now happily in a position to confirm outstanding order delivery dates for the new 6210MGX and MC models.

The first MGX camera shipment was in Paris early this morning and weather conditions permitting, will be processed and sent DHL next day delivery, by Thursday/Friday of this week.

The MC shipment has been slightly delayed and is due to arrive on the 17th December. These cameras will be processed and sent DHL next day delivery, by Wednesday 19th of December.

Extra stock is also arriving with these shipments and is selling quickly; so for delivery before Christmas, I would recommend you order now.

New set up software and firmware is now available.
I'll be posting about the updates and new menu features as soon as I've completed my evaluations.

I sincerely hope we wont be experiencing any more delays in the future and I promise to try not to find any more problems which require a major case update

My personal thanks to all our customers for being so patient.
